二、學位英語語法題解題策略和方法
1.還原法. 2.一致法. 3.標點法. 4.題眼法
1. 還原法
還原法,即句子結構分析法.很多單項選擇題考點實為難度 較小的簡單句,但命題人往往通過加長句式,將陳述句改為疑問或感嘆等句型,使用插入語,采用倒裝和省略等手段使簡單的句式復雜化, 以增加干擾因素.解題時,同學們應通過句型分析弄清題干的來龍去脈,還原簡單句的本來面目.主要有如下八種還原方式:
(1)將疑問句還原成陳述句
【例】Whom is it up to ____the matter
A. decide B. to decide
C. deciding D. decided
【解析】將題干還原為陳述句: It is up to sb. to decide the matter. 答案為:B
(2)將感嘆句還原成陳述句
【例】_____role she played in the film! No wonder she has won an Oscar.
A. How interesting B. How an interesting
C. What interesting D. What an interesting
【解析】將題干還原為陳述句: She played an interesting role in the film. 因此答案為D
(3)將被動語態還原成主動語態
【例】Our time should be made full use of _____.
A. study B. studied
C. studying D. to study
【解析】將題干還原為成主動語態: We should make full use of our time to study.因此答案為:D
(4)將倒裝語序還原成正常語序
【例】Here is a note book, in which _____ the names of the visitors.
A. write B. written
C. were written D. was written
【解析】將題干還原為正常語序: The names of the visitors were written in the note book.因此答案為C。
(5)將強調句式還原成一般句式
【例】It was ____ that resulted in the terrible car accident.
A. because of her carelessness B. her being careless
C. because she was careless D. she was so careless
【解析】將題干還原為一般句式: Her being careless was resulted in the terrible car accident.
因此答案為:B。
(6)將先行詞還原到定語從句中
【例】The study you have been making _____the ancient Chinese characters is an instructive job.
A. to B.for
C. of D. from
【解析】把定語從句先行詞 the study 還原回從句中得出: You have been making the study of the ancient Chinese characters. 因此答案為: C
(7)刪除附加結構,將復雜句還原成簡單句
【例】John plays football ____, if not better than, David.
A. as well B. as well as
C. so well D. so well as
【解析】將插入語 if not better than 刪除得出: John plays football as well as David.因此答案為:B
(8)將省略句還原成完整的句子
【例】-----Do you know what Tom does all day
-----I know he spends at least as much time watching TV as he ____his lessons.
A. is doing B. does
C. spends in D. does doing
【解析】將連詞as 后的從句還原完整,得出: …as he spends (in) doing his lessons. 此句中的 spends 可用來代替.因此答案為:does
2. 一致法
一致法是另一種句子結構分析法,即在解題時我們要注意句子前后的關系要一致,包括主謂一致,時態一致,代詞一致,比較對象一致等等,以此找到解題的突破口.例如:
(1)【例】The man rushed out of the room, ____into his car and started it hurriedly, ____to get home as soon as possible.
A. got; hoped B. getting; and hoped
C. got; hoping D. getting; hoped
【解析】C從and 可知,此題考查三個謂語動詞rushed,got和started的并列, 時態要一致,所以第一空要填got,而第二空hoping是伴隨狀語.
(2)【例】 Written in a hurry, _________.
A. Peter made many mistakes in the paper
B. There are many mistakes in the paper
C. we found some mistakes in the paper
D. the paper is full of mistakes
【解析】【解析】分詞做狀語時其邏輯主語必須與主句的主語保持一致.此題中written in a hurry 的邏輯主語應該是paper所以選擇和主語一致的選項D。
(3)【例】 Thinking about the fact that I was not prepared well enough, and____ to lose my face, I gave up this year's civil service exam.
A、didn't want B. not wanted
C. not wanting D. not to want
此題考查and連接的兩個并列狀語,前后形式要一致,not wanting ,與前面的thinking 一致,故選擇 C
3. 標點法
在解答單項選擇題時標點符號的作用不可忽視.在做題時一個標點符號可能就決定了一個題的答案.例如:
(1)【例】Our first destination was Indian Greek in Kansas.____was
then the frontier.
A. That B. Which C. What D. Then
【解析】從前后句間的句號可知,后半句是獨立的句子而非從句,因此不可以在句首使用從屬連詞.故答案為A。
(2)【例】 Everyone was on time for the meeting—_____Chris, who's usually ten minutes late for everything.
A. but B. only C. even D. yet
【解析】從破折號可知,符號后面的內容是對前面句子的補充說明.故答案為C。
(3)【例】They believe that the spirits are with the body of the dead person for three days; ____there's always someone to stay with the dead body.
A. during which time B. during which
C. during when D. during this time
【解析】由分號可知后半部分應該是一個獨立的句子.故答案應為D
4.題眼法
題眼法即語境分析法."眼"指的是題干中的解題關鍵信息,一旦抓住了它,就能掌握選擇的依據.在解題時同學們應樹立全局觀和整體觀,認真分析語境準確理解和把握信息并關注關鍵詞句找出突破口.例如:
(1)----Is there fog in the evening
----There____be. I'll make a phone call to find it out(關鍵信息).
A. must B. would
C. will D. might
【解析】D
(2) Most of the Europeans refuse to(關鍵信息) accept GM food ____Americans regard it as (關鍵信息)the fruit from high tech.
A. when B. as
C. while D. the moment
【解析】C
(3) Unfortunately, when I dropped in, Doctor Li ____for Beijing to join in the fight against SARS, so we only had time for a few words(關鍵信息).

(5) ____, but (關鍵信息)he insisted that he ____to school.
A. Though he was ill; went B. Having been ill; went

【解析】D
總之,學位英語的單項選擇題盡管只有十五個小題,但考查內容涉及面廣并突出了綜合性和語境化的特點.解題時,應結合語境,認真分析句子,靈活運用語法詞匯知識,通過現象看本質,從而達到分析問
