  (先行词是 the pupils,而且是复数形式,从句谓语用复数)

  2.Where there is a river,there is a city.

  哪里有河流,哪里就有城市。

  (1)where 是连接副词,引导地点状语从句,意思是“在……地方”,“到……地方”,“……的地方”。

  e.g.Go back where you sat.

  回到你原来坐的地方去。

  I found my books where I had left them.

  世界上很多大城市建在河岸上,这是真的。

  (1)that many of the world's greatest cities have been built on the banks of a river是一个主语从句。

  在英语中 that 引导的主语从句放在句首,句子常常显得头重脚轻。因此,常用 it作形式主语,放在句首代替主语从句,而把真正的主语从句放在句尾。

  e.g.It is quite certain that I have never seen him before.

  无疑地以前我从来没有见过他。

  It is obvious that the driver couldn't control his car.

  e.g.There are more than sixty students in our class.

  我班有六十多名学生。

  (2)more than 还可表示“不仅是”的含义,相当于 not only。

  俄国沙皇在一九一七年俄国大革命中结束了它在这座城市的统治,但是他们曾经住过的宫殿作为博物馆被保存下来。

  (1)where they had lived 是 where 引导的一个定语从句,修饰 the palaces,从句中的谓语动词 had lived 发生在主句的谓语动词 were kept 之前,因此从句中的谓语动词用过去完成时。

  e.g.This is the student who I taught ten years ago.

  这是我十年前教过的学生。

  (2)be kept as...意思是“作为……被保存下来”。as 是介词,意思是“作为”。

  (1)bring...back to life“使……恢复生机”。

  e.g.The trees and flowers bring the city back to life.

  树木和鲜花使这座城市恢复了生机。

  (2)在英语中,动词 try,love,like,prefer,hate 等,通常后面跟动词-ing 的形式,常常表示习惯性或经常性的动作,而跟动词不定式,则常常表示一次具体动作。

  e.g.He likes dancing,but he doesn't like to dance today.

  他喜欢跳舞,但他今天不喜欢去跳舞。

  7.With the help of old paintings and photographs,the people of St Petersburg were able to bring back the beauty of their culture and history.

  辨析:can,be able to

  ①can 只有现在时和过去时,而 be able to 有各种时态。

  e.g.He will be able to help you.

  他将会帮助你的。

  ②表示特定的某一过去能力通常用 was(were)able to,含有“经过努力做到”的意思。

  8....and the old palaces have been made as wonderful as in the past……而且这些宫殿已经建得和过去一样富丽堂皇。

  (1)as...as表示“同……一样”,表示双方在程度、性质、特征等某些方面相等,用“as+形容词或副词原级+as”的结构;表示不相等时,用“not as(so)+形容词或副词原级+as”的结构;表示一方是另一方的若干倍时,用“倍数+as+形容词或副词原级+as”结构。

  他和你一样高。

  This building looks not as(so)high as that one.

  这座楼房看起来没有那座高。

  Asia is four times as large as Europe.

  (2)as wonderful as in the past 作 the old palaces 的补足语。

  现在完成时被动语态构成:have(has)+been+过去分词。

  在英语中,主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者,只有及物动词才能有被动语态。现在完成时由 have(has)+过去分词构成(主动式),而被动式由 have(has)+been+过去分词构成。

  →I have been praised.(被动语态)

  The teacher has praised him.(主动语态)

  →He has been praised.

  The teacher has praised you.(主动语态)

  →You have been praised.(被动语态)

  完形填空题解题指导

  完形填空不仅能比较准确地测试学生的各项知识水平,而且能提高学生运用英语的综合能力。除了学生具有一定的阅读能力和逻辑推理能力外,还必须掌握相当数量的词汇、短语以及适当的语法知识,同时要求学生也要有一定的语言实际运用能力。

  完形填空不只在语法知识上考查学生,而且侧重于考查学生对语境和语意的正确理解和运用。

  因此,学生在做完形填空这种题时,应掌握以下技巧。

  1.弄懂文章的第一句。

  一篇完形填空题往往是在第一句不设“空”的,是一个完整的句子。一般来说,论述文的第一句往往是文章的中心句。记叙文往往在第一句中交待了人物,时间,地点等要素。了解这些对弄懂全文尤其重要,因此,读第一句,一定要认真、仔细。

  2.通读全文。

  一定要先把整篇文章通读一篇,跳过所有的“空”,把文章的意思串连起来,因为完形填空不是就某一个句子进行考查,而是一篇短文,所以通读对做完形填空是一个重要环节。

  3.不能忽视过渡词。

  有部分连词、副词、代词,由于他们在文中起过渡作用,尽管都是些微不足道的“小词”,但由于具有衔接功能,并能清楚地标明句与句之间的语义关系,所以阅读时要格外注意。

  4.弄清文章的基本线索。

  文章总是遵循一定线索发展的,常见的有依据时间顺序为线索,也有依地点变迁为线索的。阅读中,弄清文章的基本线索有助于对文章的理解。

  5.仔细检查。

  做完此题后,一定要把全文再读一遍,就可以弥补疏漏,同时也要验证一下所填的答案正确与否,全文是否贯通流畅。

  下面以一份完形填空题为例,来说明解题技巧。

  Mrs.White had a 1 cat,and it was the cat's first 2 .One morning it was outside when it began to 3 heavily.Mrs White looked everywhere and shouted its name,but she did not 4 it,so she telephoned the policeman and said:“I 5 a small black cat.Has anyone found one?”

  “No,madam,”said the policeman at the other end,“but cats are really very strong animals.They sometimes live for days in the snow,and when it melts or somebody finds them,they are quite a 6 .”

  Mrs.White felt happier when she heard this,“And”,she said,“our cat is very clever.she almost 7 ”

  The policeman was getting tired,“well,then,”he said,“why don't gou put your telephone 8 ? Perhaps she is trying to telephone you now.”

  1.A.old B.young C.big D.white

  2.A.spring B.summer C.autumn D.winter

  3.A.snow B.snowed C.rain D.rained

  4.A.lose B.catch C.find D.look for

  5.A.am losing B.lose C.have lost D.will lose

  6.A.a11 right B.good C.better D.ill

  7.A.says B.tells C.laughs D.talks

  8.A.up B.down C.on D.in

  尽管这篇文章难度不大,但学生如果不注意答题要求和技巧,则会遇到很多困难。空(1)除 A 在语法上说不通外,B,C,D 中究竟该选择小猫,大猫,还是白猫呢? 谁也说不清。空(2)中四个选项春夏秋冬似乎都行。空(3)中到底该填下雨还是下雪呢,令人莫衷一是。只有首先通读全文,并了解文章大意后,上述问题才能很容易解决。下大雪与冬天是有逻辑关系的。过第一个冬天的猫不可能是大猫,下文读到黑猫也不可能变成白猫。把上述问题弄清楚以后,文中的问题基本解决。故事发展的线索就比较清楚了。作为学生或应试人,下一步就应该注意的是上下文的连贯性以及起到起承转合作用的过渡词。其中还包括部分指示代词,应弄清他们在文中指代何人何物。空(4)是个动词填空题,but 使句子出现了一个较长的转折,形成了looked...but did not find...的结构。空(5)是时态填空题,应瞻前顾后,其随后一句的时态也许能对学生或应试人有所启发。空(6)中的 A 与 D 语法上都是对的,初一看,D 的可能性更大。从雪地中溶化出来的猫想必是一付病入膏肓的样子。然而这段文章的关键单词 but 与后面 strong 正好揭示了警察的幽默。照此推理,空(6)的答案自然是 A 了。空(7),(8)是近义词选择,只要了解文章大意,仅用语法知识便可以顺利解题。

  综合上述,做完形填空时,必须做到:通读全文,弄清线索,瞻前顾后,仔细择词。
