(一)主、谓语不一致 jVfC 4M7 ,
句子中的谓语动词和主语在人称和数上不一致,这类试题主要涉及到以下四个方面: f fE%{B?
(1)主语后面有一个较长的定语或定语从句,该定语或定语从句的最后一个词,也就是谓语动词前的那个词的单数或复数一般与主语的单、复数相反,以此来干扰学生。 V#3VRh

例4 On each side of the highway was hundreds of billboards advertising everything from modern motels to roadside stands that sell fresh fruit and bedspreads. (1995年考题) g$]9xn#_[
(3)后面由with, as well as, rather than, along with, together with, in addition to, including等修饰的单数名词作主语时,其谓语动词也要用单数形式。 '4O1Y0K
例5 The president of the college , together with the deans, are planning a conference for the 7J 0!vq
A B C WcqYpPv

D P@*whjPmo
(4)由连词or, nor, neither… nor, either…or, not only… but also连接的两个名词,谓语形式要与它最接近的主语一致。 DrB=
例6 Neither her parents nor her teacher have persuaded her to change her mind. ^l iyWl
(二)虚拟语气方面的错误 l'o'q7&=z
做这类题考生首先要掌握虚拟语气的构成和主、从句的搭配,熟记常见的虚拟语气类型以及一些特殊用法,重点掌握下列常用的要引起虚拟语气的形容词和动词。 nE/T)[1|
形容词:necessary, essential, urgent, imperative, possible, vital, desirable, important, natural. xpSMbX{e
动 词:suggest, ask, recommend, insist, demand, decide, advise, propose, order. !5{t1 oJ

A B ?=
ulfGrY
scientific terminology(专门术语)so difficult to understand. Ct.Q)p-wn
C D AQ-PY
(三)非谓语动词的误用
,?`$~8
这一类的试题设计比较灵活,如果考生对各种非谓语动词(动词不定式、动名词、分词)的句法功能及用法没有透彻的了解,对它们与谓语动词、逻辑主词、逻辑宾词和其他词类之间的搭配关系掌握得不好,就很难解题。比如,下列动词或词组后面只能跟动词分词:enjoy, finish, appreciate, avoid, miss(错过), mind(介意), deny, admit, keep, prevent, consider, look forward to, can not help, object to, turn to (求助于), adapt to,等等。 *SC~_
以上动词考生应重点掌握。 KDCq::P<

(四)词序有误 dD!} P$
这一部分重点测试以疑问词引导的从句中的词序以及倒装句的词序,考生要重点掌握那些常用的出现在句首句子就必须倒装的词或词组,如:by no means, in no cases, under no circumstances, not only…but also, not until, never, nowhere等等。 9jJ&QACn

(五)句子结构不对等 a?&oOQd-iP
句子结构的对等性要求在表达词法相同的成分时,动词与动词、名词与名词、词组与词组、从句与从句都要对等。常出现的错误有下列几种情况: ]\*g/QV
(1)并列连词and, but, as well as, or等连接的两上谓语形式、非谓语动词、从句结构等在形式上没保持一致。 k>U&Us0
例15 At school he found that he hated eating in the dining-room, studied for his chemistry class, +KXg&A

(3)引起比较状语从句的从属连词as…as,…than连接的两个成分在结构上不一致,造成逻辑上的错误。 ?VO*s-G:J

C D ]ta]OK{s"
6Z\[{S];
(六)形容词和副词的误用 ? D2:'gg
这类题往往在副词与形容词的修饰关系上出错。形容词一般只能修饰形容词,不能修饰形容词,而副词可以修饰形容词、动词等。 GG/~)^VMe

(七)可数与不可数名词的误用 {()8 Wr
例24 This sitting room would be much improved if you put a furniture in that corner. oQBfDD0
A B C D 5#!pwjt~7
当然,在名词方面考生还应掌握下列两种情况。 ]/XNfb
(1)有些名词形式上是单数,实际上是复数,因此谓语动词要用复数,如people, police; hug8Hhf_&
(2)有些名词形式上复数,但意义上是单数。这类名词通常是以s结尾的科学名称和疾病名称,谓语动词要用单数,如physics, statistics, acoustics. SuMK=^>%
=1!wep"
(八)时态和语态方面的错误 t
\kI( G
做这类题,首先要确定句子是主动还是被动关系,还要搞清前后时态是否一致。 U{"&Jj
例25 She said to me that she will get the job in spite of her inexperience. m/5:-xL31
A B C D Y? =+A4v

2.连接词的固定搭配 &uI`Xq.
常用的连接词的固定搭配有:either…or, neither…nor, both…and, no sooner…than, scarcely/hardly…when, rather…than, the same…as, so…, that, not long…before. ;>{BK,

例35 He was so exhausted he couldn’t scarcely keep his eyes open until the movie was over. PRcW}"m]Qg
A B C D 'F.Da#st!}
(十一)连词的误用 RuSKJ,T:9
这类试题的特点是结构与逻辑交织在一起,考生不仅要判断结构是否正确,还要从整句的意思判断逻辑上是否讲得通。此外,考生必须熟记一些常用的连接词固定搭配(在固定搭配部分已作了介绍)。 O

(十二)意思或语形相近的动词、名词、形容词或副词的误用 %i[G6+-
英语中有些词意或词形很相近,要是考生对这些词的拼写或词义间的细微差别掌握得不够牢固,就很难识别出错的地方。 \>,[5|GU
例38 Over the centuries, women have developed considerate expertise in the techniques of adapting to men, but that ability is not the same as truly understanding male psychology. ;>YLL}]j

A B C _D<=Yo

D ;nS.t_UW.
tgk] sQY
(十三)关系代词与连接代词的误用 o3C7JG
关系代词who(whom, whose), which 和that 引导定语从句;连接代词who(who,whose),which和what引导主语从句、表语从句和宾语从句。要注意whoever和whomever的用法。连接代词whoever相当于any one who,因此不能用who去代替whoever的作用。此外,考生一定要牢记:非限制性定语从句必须用which引导。 I_ O8 9Sgn
