答案与分析
1. B What’s...like是询问人或事物的性质特征情况的交际用语,答语中常含
有说明性质特征情况的形容词。
2. A sound表示“听起来”,后面接形容词作表语,答案B、C、D均为副词。 3. D若人或事物的情况变化是永久性的或难以扭转的坏变化时,用系动词go表示。
4. C run wild是固定搭配,表示“放荡不羁”。
5. A sound表示“听起来”,后面接as if 引导的表语从句,表示对主语所表示的特征、状态或性质作出的反应及判断。
6. C feel作系动词用时,表示“(东西)摸上去令人有某种感觉”。
7. B as if引导表语从句时,从句谓语动作发生在主句谓语动作之前,从句谓语用过去完成式。 4/6页
8. D “ It seems that…” 表示“看起来……”。是固定句型,强调根据一定的事实所得出的一种接近于实际情况的判断。
9. D taste表示“尝起来”时,是系动词,后面接形容词作表语。
10. A feel表示“(某物)摸上去(令人)有某种感觉”时,是系动词,用于一般现在时。
11. D fall asleep表示“入睡”,是固定搭配,根据题意,应用过去时。 12. B get表示“逐渐……起来”、“开始……起来”时,是系动词,多用于进行时。
13. A prove表示“证明是”时,是系动词。
14. D smell表示“有……的气味”、“散发气味”时,是系动词,后面接形容词。
15. C belike表示“看起来像”时,既可指外貌,又可指品质和特征,侧重于特征。
16. B promise表示“有……的可能”、“给人以……的指望”时,是系动词,后面接名词作表语。
17. A appear表示“看起来”时,是系动词。侧重于在外表给人某种印象,常为“假象”。
18. B look表示“显得”、“看起来”时,是系动词,后面接形容词作表语,用进行时态,常带有感情色彩。
19. C come true是固定搭配,表示“实现”,其中come是系动词,表示“成为”、“变得”。
20. D become表示“变成”,作系动词用,在后面作表语的名词前要加a或an。turn后跟可数名词单数要去掉a(n)。
汉语中表示两个过程按比例同时增加时,用“越……越……”结构。英语中用“the +比较级,the+比较级”结构。这种结构通常从句在前,主句在后,即:第一个the+比较级为状语从句,第二个the+比较级为主句。句型中的连个“the”都是指示副词。两个“the”的后面都必须跟形容词或副词的比较级形式。不过有的语法书中说“第一个the引导的句子是比较状语从句”。 这种结构中的谓语动词一般情况下:主句用将来时态,从句用一般现在时态(代替将来时态)。 试比较下列例句的用法:
more, the better.多多益善。 sooner, the better. 愈快愈好。
more you learn, the more you wish to learn.你学得越多,你越是想学。 sooner you start, the sooner you will finish. 你开始的越早,你就完成得越快。
more exciting it is, the happier they are.越是有趣,他们就越是高兴。 more I know him, the more I like him.我越认识他,就越喜欢他。
more you read, the better you understand.你看的书越多,你懂得就越多。 hotter the air is, the more quickly it will rise.空气越热,它就上升得越快。
more learned a man is ,the more modest he usually is.一个人越有学问,
就往往越谦虚。
more you know ,the more you will realize how little you know.知道得越多,越会体会到自己知道得有限。 注意:
有时这种句型中主句用主谓倒装形式。
例如:The smaller the house is, the less will it cost us to heat.房子越小,花的取暖费就越少。
The more we thought of the lost boy, the more did we get worried. 我们越想那个丢失的孩子,就越是着急。
(1)“the more…,the more…”句型为“the+比较级,the+比较级”结构,常表示“越……,就越……”,是一个复合句,其中前面句子是状语从句,后面的句子是主句。The用在形容词或副词的比较级前。 5/6页
上拉加载下一页The more he gets, the more he wants.他越来越贪(他得到的越多,就越想要)。 The more she learns, the more she wants to learn.她越学就越想学。
(2)“the+比较级,the+比较级”句型主从句的时态常用一般现在时或一般过去时。 The higher the ground is, the thinner the air becomes.离地面越
高,空气就越稀薄。 The harder he worked, the more he got.他工作越努力,得到的就越多。
(3)若主句的谓语动词用一般将来时,从句的谓语动词要用一般现在时表示将来。 The harder you work, the greater progress you will make.你越用功,进步就越大。
The longer the war lasts, the more the people there will suffer.战争持续越久,那里的人们受难就越多。
(4)在这种句型中,主句在程度上随着从句变化而变化,常把被强调的部分提前。 The faster you run, the better it will be. 你跑得越快越好。 (5)这种句型的特点是前后都可以有所省略,特别是谚语、俗语,只要意义明确,越简单越好。
The more, the better. 多多益善。 The sooner, the better. 越早越好。
(6)这种句型中的比较部分通常是状语、宾语、表语,也可以是主语。
The more English you practice, the better your English is. 你练习英语越多,你的英语就越好。
The busier he is, the happier he feels. 他越忙越高兴。
The more air there is inside the tyre, the greater the pressure there is
in it. 轮胎里空气越多,里面的压力就越大。
(7)若表示“越……,越不……”,常用“the more…,the less…”句型。 The more she flatters me, the less Ilike her.她越逢迎我,我越不喜欢她。 (8)若表示“越不……,就越……”,常用“the less…,the more…”句型。 The less he worried, the better he worked. 他越不烦恼,工作就干得越好。
