重要观念
1. 五种基本句型:(S + V)、(S+V+O)、(S+V+O+O)、(S+V+C)、(S+V+O+C)
2. 补语就是「是什么」的叙述。判断主词补语:把动词换成 be 动词,意思差不多就是补语。判断受词补语:在受词与补语之间加一个 be 动词,意思差不多就是补语。
3. 主词与受词必须是名词类;主词补语与受词补语最常见的词类是形容词。补语若是名词类,表示「主词补语等于主词、受词补语等于受词」。
4. 时间副词、地方副词、介副词,这三种副词也可以当补语。

翻译:在柬埔寨,年轻男性选择配偶是一件复杂的事。这可能不仅涉及他的父母和朋友,以及年轻女性的父母和朋友,还包括媒人。
解析:空格前的not only…在空格后有but also…搭配,根据上下文,可知是在列举同样牵涉其中的人。因此答案选(B),片语as well as的意思是「以及」,属于比较句法中的对等连接词,其实并非对等连接词,但是它在用法以及平行对称的要求上,都和对等连接词and相同。
4. They may ______ together, dance together, chant together. (A) rise (B) be rising (C) raise (D) be raising
答案:(A)
翻译:他们可能一同起身、一同跳舞、一同歌唱。
解析:空格前有助动词may,后有两个原形动词片语dance together与chant together,根据平行对称的要求,可知空格中也应填入原形动词。(A) rise是指「上升,起身」,(C) raise是及物动词,后面需要受词,意思是「举起,提升」,因此选(A)成为rise together。
5. Jenny saw her best friend last night ______ and playing the piano on a talent show. (A) singing (B) sang (C) sung (D) to sing
答案:(A)
翻译:珍妮昨晚在才艺表演上看到她最好的朋友一边唱歌一边弹钢琴。
解析:空格后有对等连接词and,后面是playing,可知前面需填singing以符合平行对称要求,故选(A)。
6. Declining enrollments are forcing smaller private colleges to choose ______. (A) between raising tuition and reduction of the staff (B) between raising tuition or reducing staff (C) between raising tuition and reducing staff (D) between the rise of tuition and the reduction of the staff
答案:(C)
翻译:入学人数下降迫使小型私立大学在提高学费和裁减员工之间做出选择。
解析:片语choose between A and B是「在A与B之间做选择」,连接词要用and,(B)可先排除。对等连接词and要求平行对称,(A)的and前面是动名词片语raising tuition,后面是普通名词reduction,并不工整。(C)与(D)都符合平行对称要求,但(D) the rise of tuition意思是「学费自己上升」,句意不如(C) raising tuition(提高学费,调涨学费)精确。
7. The gist is that job seekers use Facebook’s advertising platform to target specific employers they want to work for. They write a short ad, ______ a picture of themselves, and link to an online version of their resume. (A) include (B) included (C) to include (D) including
答案:(D)
翻译:重点在于求职者利用脸书的广告平台锁定他们想去求职的特定雇主。他们撰写简短的广告、附上自己的照片,并链接到自己的线上履历。
解析:其实这个题目都不改的话,句子也可以成立。(D) including a picture of themselves可以当作一组介系词片语,修饰前面的a short ad,意思是「且包括自己的照片在内的小广告」,这样也拉得通。不过,若改为动词include,会成为对仗工整、清楚的三个动作:写广告、附照片、链接履历,用对等连接词and连接,清晰效果更佳。
8. At the age of 14, he could play ______ Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1. (A) flawless and without hesitation (B) flawlessness and by hesitation (C) flawlessly and without hesitation (D) without flaw and by hesitation
答案:(C)
翻译:他14岁时,就能完美且毫不迟疑地演奏柴可夫斯基第一号钢琴协奏曲。
解析:空格前后一对逗号可以当作一组括弧,里面放的修饰语应该是副词类,用来修饰前面的动词could play,故(A)、(B)可先排除,因为其中的flawless是形容词、flawlessness是名词。(C)与(D)都是副词,但是(D)中的without flaw(零缺点)是肯定语气,对等连接词and后面的by hesitation(出于犹豫)却是否定语气,前后语气不一致。正确答案是(C),flawlessly是副词,without hesitation是介系词片语,可以当副词使用,词类相同,符合平行对称要求。
9. Professor Francis Dwyer was best known for his work in instructional design, but he also excelled as a poet, ______, and a deer-hunter. (A) as a musician (B) by playing music (C) a musician (D) he played music (E) being a musician
答案:(C)
翻译:弗朗西斯·德怀尔教授最出名的是在教学设计方面的研究,但他也是杰出的诗人、音乐家,以及猎鹿人。
解析:对等连接词and要求平行对称,后面的a deer-hunter是名词片语,可知前面的空格也是名词片语,和空格前的a poet三者并列,共用介系词as,故选(C) a musician。
10. The newspaper is an important means for people to obtain information, and its ______ and availability make it the most popular mass medium at all levels of a community. (A) versatile (B) versatiling (C) versatility (D) versatiled
答案:(C)
翻译:报纸是民众获得信息的重要方式。它的功能多元且容易取得,使其成为社会各阶层最通行的大众媒体。
解析:对等连接词and后面是名词availability,为了符合平行对称的要求,前面的空格也应使用名词,因此(C)应改为versatility,两个名词共用所有格限定词its。
11. Fliers touting various candidates covered bulletin boards, students ______ and debated hot topics and a week without some sort of political rally was a rarity. (A) discuss (B) discussed (C) discussing (D) to discuss
答案:(B)
翻译:吹捧不同候选人的传单布满布告栏,学生们讨论并辩论热门话题。若是一整周没有任何政治集会,是很稀奇的事。
解析:(B)部分的后面有对等连接词and,其后连接的是过去简单式动词debated,为了符合平行对称的要求,前面也应该是过去简单式动词,因此(B)应改为discussed。
12. Although science offers the hope of reducing the use of pesticides and ______ plants from being eaten by insects, there are difficult environmental questions raised by the genetically modified plants. (A) prevent (B) preventing (C) prevented (D) to prevent
答案:(B)
翻译:虽然科学提供了减少农药使用并能防止植物被昆虫吃掉的一线希望,但是基因改造作物仍然产生了一些棘手的环境问题。
解析:(A)和(B)之间有对等连接词and,前后连接的内容要平行对称,(A)构成动名词片语reducing the use of pesticides,后面也应该动用名词片语,因此(B)应改为preventing。
13. It begins at the age of six ______ the Elementary School Leaving Examination. (A) and leads to (B) then leading to (C) which lead to (D) which leading to (E) when leading to
答案:(A)
翻译:它从六岁开始,一直到小学毕业考试。
解析:如果想写成分词从句而选(B),前面应该有个逗号和主要子句隔开,而且不该用then,应该写成It begins at the age of six, leading to … then暗示前后连接的内容是对等的,分词从句是用于表示因果、条件等关系。(C) which lead to …是关系子句,动词lead是复数动词,但前面找不到复数先行词,故不对。(D) which leading to …像是关系子句,却没有限定动词,结构错误。(E) when leading to …看起来是分词从句,但和(B)一样缺少逗号。正确答案(A)用对等连接词and连接前面的动词begins与后面的动词leads,符合平行对称要求。
14. As Father’s Day draws near, Taiwan fathers ______ more time with their kids and to do their share of domestic chores in order to create happy families. (A) urge to spend (B) are urged to spend (C) urged to spending (D) are urged to spending
答案:(B)
翻译:父亲节脚步近了。台湾的父亲们被敦促要多花时间陪孩子,多做分内的家事,才能打造幸福的家庭。
解析:空格后有对等连接词and,后面是不定词片语to do,表示前面也要用不定词片语和它对称,故(C)、(D)可先排除。(A)与(B)的差别在于动词urge(敦促,鼓励)的语态。主词是Taiwan fathers,根据句意可知动词应该是被动语态,表示「被敦促要去做什么」比较合理,故选(B)。
15. Hundreds of so-called “flash mobs” following e-mail instructions suddenly ______ a location, acted out a loose script, and then quickly dispersed after a preset time. (A) converge (B) converged on (C) converging (D) to converge
答案:(B)
翻译:数百名所谓的「快闪族」遵照电子邮件的指示,突然聚集在一个地点、演出一段松散的剧本,预定时间一到就迅速解散。
解析:句子最后有对等连接词and,后面是过去简单式动词dispersed,前面也有过去简单式动词acted,可知道是用对等连接词并列三个动作,空格处应该是另一个过去简单式动词,故选(B) converged on。
16. Consumers are beginning to take notice of electric cars because they are quiet, cause no air pollution, and ______. (A) gasoline is not used (B) not use gasoline (C) do not use gasoline (D) using no gasoline
答案:(C)
翻译:消费者开始注意到电动车,是因为它安静、无污染、不用汽油。
解析:对等连接词and前面有两个由动词引导的叙述:are quiet和cause no air pollution,为了符合平行对称的要求,空格也应该是这样的结构,因此(C)应改为do not use gasoline,三个叙述共用相同的主词they。
17. To me, a good breakfast consists of fresh bread, an egg or two, some good jam, and drinking two cups of coffee with milk and sugar. 找出错误并改正
答案:two cups of coffee
翻译:对我来说,一顿好的早餐包含新鲜的面包、一两个蛋、好的果酱,还有两杯加了糖和牛奶的咖啡。
解析:对等连接词and前面有三个关于食物的名词片语:fresh bread, an egg or two, some good jam,可知后面要接一个相同结构的名词片语。因此要删去drinking,留下two cups of coffee with milk and sugar,符合平行对称的要求。
18. Having worked with the elderly for several years, Mrs. Huang knows how important it is to behave kindly and ______ toward them. (A) thoughtfulness (B) thoughtful (C) thoughtfully (D) with thoughtful
答案:(C)
翻译:和长者共事多年,黄女士知道对他们态度和善、体贴是非常重要的。
解析:对等连接词and前面是方法状态副词kindly,为了符合平行对称的要求,后面应改为方法状态副词thoughtfully,两者共同修饰动词behave。虽然介系词片语with thoughtfulness可以当副词使用,那样的话文法也没错,但修改后修辞效果更佳。
19. Poverty devastates families, communities and nations; it causes ______ and political unrest and fuels conflict. (A) instable (B) instability (C) instably (D) instabilize
答案:(B)
翻译:贫穷摧毁家庭、社会、国家。它造成不安定与政治动乱,并且助长冲突。

(B) These changes are in urgent need and thus have to be implemented immediately. (C) By greening our cities with street trees, urban parks, and community and rooftop gardens, we can keep ourselves cooled, and fostering happiness and social connection. (D) Thanks to the heat generated by traffic and industrial activities, urban air temperature is often higher than in rural environments. (E) Hotter cities compel urban citizens to opt for air conditioners in order to stay cool, which further strains energy demands and worsens the heat in the city.
答案:(C)
翻译:透过行道树、都市公园、社区花园以及屋顶花园进行都市绿化,我们可以让自己更凉爽,同时还能培养幸福感与社会联结。
解析:对等连接词and要求前后平行对称。(C)后面有分词片语fostering happiness and social connection,但在句子前面找不到结构对称的内容。仔细观察and前面的句型,句子的主词是we,接着有can加上原形动词keep,因此and后面连接的动词也应该与其对称,fostering要改为foster才对。
21. Not since Richard Nixon has a U.S. President been indicted for abuse of power and obstruction of justice, or ______ office under the threat of impeachment. (A) leave (B) leaves (C) left (D) leaving
答案:(C)
翻译:自尼克松以来,就没有哪位美国总统因为滥权与妨碍司法而遭到起诉,也没有人在弹劾的威胁之下离职。
解析:从内容来看,这句是并列了「被起诉」与「离职」两个动作,对等连接词or之前是has been indicted,后面连接的动词应该符合平行对称的要求,所以是has left office。把重复的部分省略,因此(C)应改为过去分词left,和前面(B)里的been共用文法助动词has。
22. The briefings that rely on asking people ______ what they have just been through may not necessarily bring cathartic help to those who have suffered traumatic events. (A) to reconstruct in vivid detail to go back (B) to go back and reconstruct in vivid detail (C) to reconstruct in vivid detail that they go back (D) to go back that they have reconstructed in vivid detail
答案:(B)
翻译:有一种简报方式是要求别人回想、回溯,仔细重建他们刚刚经历过的事,这种方式对那些遭受创伤事件的人而言,不见得能带来真正宣泄的帮助。
解析:空格前的动词是ask,后面应该搭配不定词当受词补语,因为要求某人做事,强调的是「去做」、「要去」做。根据句意,这是并列了两个动作,分别是to go back和to reconstruct…,应该用对等连接词and连接,成为to go back and to reconstruct…,然后省略一个重复的to,就是(B)。
23. Once a week, patients who have tried and ______ to treat their tuberculosis line up, frustrated and frightened, outside his small office. (A) fail (B) failed (C) failing (D) to fail
答案:(B)
翻译:每周一次,尝试过却未能治好肺结核的病人来到他小小的办公室外面排队,感到挫折又害怕。
解析:由关系代名词who引导的形容词子句有两个动词,一个是have tried,一个是have failed。用对等连接词and连接起来之后,可以省略重复的have,成为have tried and failed,因此(B)要改为failed。
24. On Saturdays, Frances gets up early to do laundry and cleaning her room. 找出错误并改正
答案:clean
翻译:每逢星期六,法兰西斯早起洗衣服并打扫房间。
解析:对等连接词and前面有不定词片语to do laundry,后面也应该是不定词片语to clean her room。重复的to可以省略一个,所以要把and后面的cleaning改为clean。
25. The industrial development of a country ______ a sufficient supply of raw materials, but also on a stable source of electricity. (A) not only depending on (B) depends on not only (C) depends not only on (D) not depends only on
答案:(C)
翻译:国家的工业发展,依靠的不只是充分的原料供应,还有稳定的电源。
解析:句子后面有对等连接词but also,可知前面要搭配相关字组not only。在but also后面是on引导的介系词片语,前面必须是相应的结构,故选(C) depends not only on。
26. The perception of attractiveness is multimodal, meaning it ______ just one factor, such as physical appearance, but rather multiple factors, including body odor and voice. (A) reliant on (B) relies on not (C) relying not (D) reliant not
答案:(B)
翻译:判断「是否有吸引力」是多因素的,意思是它不只是由单一因素决定,例如外貌,而是取决于多重因素,包括体味、声音。
解析:(B)错得很明显:文法助动词does not后面要接原形动词,不能用形容词reliant。至于要怎么改则要思考一下:句意说的是「不是由单一因素决定」,后面有but rather,可知是相关字组not…but的结构。(B)应改为动词relies on,加上not表示否定。not后面是名词片语just one factor(单一因素),下文but rather后面则是名词片语multiple factors(多重因素),两者符合平行对称要求。
27. Whether as general, emperor, ______ author, Julius Caesar was fated to enjoy enduring fame throughout much of the world. (A) or (B) and (C) but (D) nor
答案:(A)
翻译:不论身份是将军、皇帝,还是作家,凯撒命中注定要在世界大部分地区享受永垂不朽的名声。

答案:(A)
翻译:狄更斯不只在英国十分有名,在美国也享有盛名。
解析:相关字组not only A but also B中,A部分和B部分要严格平行对称,而且不能省略。可能的选项只有(A),其中not only与but also之间是介系词片语in England,后面是介系词片语in America,两者结构相同,符合平行对称的要求。
29. Many people see robots not as threatening creatures ______ beneficial machines that are helping us with our boring, difficult work. (A) and (B) and as (C) but (D) but as
答案:(D)
翻译:许多人不将机器人视为造成威胁的生物,而将它们视为有益的机器,可以帮我们处理枯燥、困难的工作。
解析:空格前有not,配合上下文判断,可知应使用相关字组not…but…,其中not之后是介系词片语as threatening creatures,后面but之后也必须是介系词as引导的片语,故选(D)。
30. At the end of the game, ______ the coach and the players were exhausted. (A) both (B) either (C) also (D) too
答案:(A)
翻译:比赛结束时,教练和球员都累坏了。

33. My father enjoys not only reading poems but also ______. (A) novels (B) novels too (C) reading novels (D) reads novels
答案:(C)
翻译:我父亲不仅喜欢读诗,也喜欢看小说。
解析:本句的相关字组是not only A but also B,其中A与B两部分严格要求对称,而且不得省略。not only后面是reading poems,那but also后面就要用同样的结构,故选(C) reading novels。
34. Balloons have been used in various wars not only to direct artillery fire and report troop movements ______ to carry bombs and protect against planes. (A) however (B) but (C) but also (D) and also
答案:(C)
翻译:气球在许多战争中被使用过,不只用来引导炮火与报告部队移动,还用来携带炸弹与防止飞机来袭。

答案:(B)
翻译:上个月在伦敦展示的排场与气派,让全世界数百万人不只要观看剑桥公爵与公爵夫人的婚礼,还把这场盛大的场面称为「世纪婚礼」。
解析:句子最后有but also,可知是用到了相关字组not only A but also B,其中A与B部分严格要求对称。(D)里的not only后面连接的是原形动词watch,所以在相关字组but also后也要连接原形动词,故(A) dubbed应改为dub才对。
37. The key to complexity is not more genes ______ more combinations and interactions generated by a few units of codes. (A) nor (B) or (C) and (D) but
答案:(D)
翻译:复杂性的关键不在于更多的基因,而在于由少数编码单元产生的更多组合与交互作用。
解析:这题要使用相关字组not A but B,表示关键「不是A而是B」,所以空格要填入but,选(D)。
38. Martha said she would contact me, but she ______. (A) either phoned or wrote (B) neither wrote nor phoned (C) phoned or wrote either (D) nor wrote or phoned
答案:(B)
翻译:玛莎说她会联系我,但她既没写信也没打电话来。
