考试点三 名词(短语)作同位语

同位语关键由名词词组当做, 对其前边的名词或代词作补充说明,
I came from Jiangying, a very beautiful and peaceful town.
练习题:
(1)
In the nineteenth century, Samuel Gridley Howe founded the Perkins School for the Blind, ----for children in Boston, Massachusetts.
(A) that institutes
(B) while instituted
(C) was an institution
(D) an institute
回答: (D)
解释: 空缺前的句子成分详细, 空格后的构造和宾语的很类似, (D)为名词词组, 组成宾语的同位语
(2)
Martha Graham, ----, has run her own dance company for half a century.
(A) is the great modern choreographer
(B) one of the great modern choreographers
(C) that the great modern choreographers
(D) the modern choreographers were great
回答:B
解释:此句主谓齐全, 空格建在主语和谓语中间, 且两边都是有分号, 看做缺乏的是主语的同位语, B是名词词组, 能够担任;A D中的形容词与原话谓语矛盾; C 并不是详细的同位语从句
考试点四 名词(短语)作定语
名词修饰名词作定语的状况在英语中也司空见惯, 这时前边的名词等同于修饰词的功效, 仅仅依英文习惯决定到底用名词還是修饰词作定语, TOEFL有小量题涉及到这一难题
那样的词句有:word order(语序), taxi driver(出租车驾驶员)等
练习题:
(1)
Situated in the heart of a grain-farming and livestock-raising region, Abilene, Kansas, is a prosperous trading and distribute center.
应改成: distribution/ distributing.
解释: 形容词distribute不可以修饰名词center,可改成名词或词性标注, 但此题中名词distribution作定语更符合英文习惯性
(2)
Acrylic paint enables artists to experiment with many colors effects.
应改成: color
解释: 这里名词color作effects的定语不用用复数, 意为颜色实际效果
