六、in that結(jié)構(gòu)
在表示“原因”概念的引導(dǎo)詞中, because of +名詞, consequently是副詞 而“in that”是原因狀語的引導(dǎo)詞。
例1:Mercury differs from other industrial metals ___ it is a liquid.
(A) whereas (B) in that (C) because of (D) consequently
分析:空格前后都是完整的句子,空格處顯然缺從句引導(dǎo)詞。C、D不能引導(dǎo)從句,可以首先排除。根據(jù)題意,兩個(gè)句子之間是因果關(guān)系而不是對(duì)比關(guān)系,故選(B)。in that為復(fù)合連詞,用來引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。
例2:Hovercraft, or air-cushion vehicles, are unusual ___travel over land and water on a layer of air.
(A)they (B)in they (C)that they (D)in that they
分析:空格處缺從句引導(dǎo)詞和從句主語。A和B缺從句引導(dǎo)詞,首先被排除。C一般作賓語從句或定語從句,而句中需要的是狀語從句,故也排除。D中in that為連詞,引導(dǎo)表原因的狀語從句,符合題意(氣墊船之所以不同,是因?yàn)椤蔬x(D)
這里我們?cè)僦厣暌幌拢绻x項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)“介詞+which”或者“in that”,那么首先考慮這個(gè)選項(xiàng),如果后面使用的是完整的句子結(jié)構(gòu),那么這個(gè)選項(xiàng)就一定是答案。這種題目平時(shí)出現(xiàn)的不多,但是要考的話一定就是重點(diǎn)。
例3:Emily Dickinson's garden was a place___great inspiration for her poems.
(A) that she drew (B) by drawing her (C) from which she drew (D) drawn from which
分析:首先看選項(xiàng)C, “介詞+which”, 而后面是she drew great inspiration for her poems.是一個(gè)完整句子,那么選項(xiàng)(C)就是答案。
