本期重點:時態、語態、虛擬語氣
① 時態錯誤
在一篇結構完整、語義連續的短文中,時態的使用也應該連貫一致,但是英語表示時間時,主句和從句時態可能不一致,卻仍表明完整正確的意思。這就要求考生對英語敏感,準確判斷句中動作的時態。???
② 語態錯誤
在CET-6綜合改錯題中最常見的語態錯誤是被動語態被誤用為主動語態。因為漢語表達習慣上有時不加“被”字也能表示被動,因而考生對被動語態不敏感。另外,不及物動詞不能攜帶賓語,因而也就沒有被動語態。?
③?虛擬語氣錯誤
虛擬語氣的使用錯誤在綜合改錯題中主要表現為主句和從句的語氣不協調。?
考點例析:
例1:In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections and deaths started to
pick up again around theworld. Where tuberculosis vanished, it S8._______
came back
解析: 這句話的意思是:結核病在已經絕跡的地方又卷土重來。從句謂語動詞發生在主 句 謂語動詞came之前,所以要用過去完成時,故在vanished前加had。
例2:In the ancient world and the Middle Ages philosophers discuss motion. ________
解析:此句的時間狀語是In the ancient world and the Middle Ages,所以謂語要用一般過去時,故將discuss改成discussed。
例3:She was very angry at not telling the truth when she listened to the account. _______
解析:句意:當她聽這個敘述的時候,她很生氣沒有被告知真相。這里“她”是被告訴的對象,因而telling應改為being told。?
例4:We strongly suggest that Henry is told about his physical ___________
condition as soon as possible.
解析:句中動詞suggest之后的從句應用虛擬語氣,故“is”應改為“be”或“should be”。類似的動詞還有demand, insist, order,等等。
