語(yǔ)法填空的設(shè)空形式分為有提示詞和無(wú)提示詞兩種。其中,有提示詞的空,括號(hào)中給出動(dòng)詞,要求考生填該動(dòng)詞的正確形式是必考點(diǎn)。需要注意的是,從高考題和模擬題來(lái)看,空格前后出現(xiàn)介詞by的頻率非常高。本文按by出現(xiàn)在空格前和空格后兩種情況,分別闡述。
一、介詞by位于設(shè)空提示詞前
介詞by位于提示詞前這類考點(diǎn)比較簡(jiǎn)單,由于by是介詞,后常接動(dòng)名詞或名詞作賓語(yǔ)。因此,一般情況下,只需把括號(hào)里的動(dòng)詞轉(zhuǎn)換為動(dòng)名詞(doing)或名詞形式即可。
[例1](2019年全國(guó)I卷)Scientists have responded by__________(note)that hungry bears may be congregating(聚集)around human settlements, leading to the illusion(錯(cuò)覺(jué))that populations are higher than they actually are.
解析:由空前介詞by可知,此處應(yīng)填note的動(dòng)名詞形式noting。
[例2](2017年全國(guó)I卷)Fast food is full of fat and salt; by__________(eat)more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.
解析:由空前介詞by提示可知,此處應(yīng)填eat的動(dòng)名詞形式eating。
二、介詞by位于設(shè)空提示詞后
介詞by位于提示詞后這類考點(diǎn)的考查比較頻繁,難度較大。要求考生具有分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)的能力,首先應(yīng)該準(zhǔn)確判斷該空應(yīng)填謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞還是非謂語(yǔ)形式。若應(yīng)填謂語(yǔ),則需根據(jù)句子的語(yǔ)境,準(zhǔn)確判斷動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)及語(yǔ)態(tài);若應(yīng)填非謂語(yǔ)形式,則根據(jù)句意,應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞形式,在句中常作定語(yǔ)和狀語(yǔ)。
1. 考查謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞
根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu),英語(yǔ)句子可分為簡(jiǎn)單句、并列句和復(fù)合句。
簡(jiǎn)單句只含有一個(gè)主謂結(jié)構(gòu)。
并列句是由并列連詞(and,or,but等)連接的兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的分句,即:S1+并列連詞+S2。
復(fù)合句是由“主句+引導(dǎo)詞+從句(定語(yǔ)從句、狀語(yǔ)從句、名詞性從句)”構(gòu)成的句子。
[例3] In fact, Chinese food in Boston __________(influence)by not just Chinese immigration to the city, but also the large Italian and Irish immigrant population there.
解析:因句中沒(méi)有別的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,所以influence應(yīng)為謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;根據(jù)句意和by的提示可知,應(yīng)填一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),即is influenced。
[例4]When the fish__________(find)by a fisherman in the Yangtze River Basin, it had been suffering from multiple injuries.
解析:因從句中沒(méi)有別的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,所以find應(yīng)為謂語(yǔ);由主句時(shí)態(tài)可知用一般過(guò)去時(shí);又根據(jù)句意和by的提示,可知用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài);故填一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),即was found。
[例5]Emerson Weber, a fifth-grade student in Sioux Falls, __________(know)by family and friends for the thoughtful and frequent letters she send, each wrapped in an envelope decorated with her own design.
解析:句中she send是定語(yǔ)從句,主語(yǔ)中缺少謂語(yǔ),故know應(yīng)為謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;根據(jù)句意和by的提示,可知填一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),即is known。
2. 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞
[例6]__________(design)by IBM, Project Debater(辯手)is a machine that uses Artificial Intelligence(AI)to form a spoken argument.
解析:空格前沒(méi)有主語(yǔ),顯然是非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;因句子主語(yǔ)Project Debater與design是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,填過(guò)去分詞designed,注意句首應(yīng)大寫,即Designed。
[例7]According to a survey __________(conduct)by sohu.com, only about40% of the 3500 people surveyed like the idea of“naked marriage”.
解析:因According to...是介詞短語(yǔ),而非句子,可知conduct為非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;又由conduct a survey(進(jìn)行調(diào)查),且有by的提示,可知填過(guò)去分詞conducted作后置定語(yǔ)。
[例8](2015年全國(guó)I卷)A study of travelers __________ (conduct)by the website Trip Advisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world.
解析:因句中已有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞names,所以conduct應(yīng)為非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;由句意和by的提示,可知填過(guò)去分詞conducted作后置定語(yǔ)。
[例9](2015年全國(guó)II卷)The adobe dwellings(土坯房)__________(build)by the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest are admired by even the most modern of architects and engineers.
解析:因句中已有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞are admired,所以build應(yīng)為非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;根據(jù)句意和by的提示,可知填過(guò)去分詞built作后置定語(yǔ)。
[例10]Nearly three working hours __________(estimate)by the World Bank is lost each day, at a cost of billions of dollars each year.
解析:因句中已有謂語(yǔ)is lost,所以estimate應(yīng)為非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;根據(jù)句意和by的提示,可知填過(guò)去分詞estimated作后置定語(yǔ)。
