改错练习
本期重点:句子结构不完整
比较复杂的复合句最容易出现此类错误,因为句子较长,缺少了某个成分,如主语、谓语、宾语、连词等等。
考点例析:
例1: If his aim is inaccurate and he scores a goal, enjoys S3.____the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.
解析:这是由一个条件状语从句引导的复合句。但主句只有谓语动词enjoys,缺少主语,因此要步上主语。根据从句的his aim可推断应该加上主语he。
例2:Nuclear physicists who interested in the structure of 5._________atoms cannot observe protons, electrons and neutrons directly.
解析:如果将who后面的部分作定语从句,那么它绝少谓语,故将who去掉,此时分词短语interested in直接作定语修饰前面的physicists。或在who后加are,补全定语从句。
例3:This alliance guarantees that all leprosy patients, even they S6.______are poor, have a right to the most modern treatment.
解析:even是副词,后面不能直接跟句子,根据句子的意思,应该在even后加if或though。

参考答案及解析
巩固与拓展:
1. 在performer后加as
此处为同级比较,固定结构为as...as...,而原句比较的对象a medical student前缺少连词as。
2. want -> wanting或those后加who
for为介词,后面的宾语时代词those,不可再跟主谓结构。故将want改为wanting,用现在分词短语作定语修饰those,或者在want前加who构成定语从句修饰those.
3. inaugurate后加it
4. made后加it
句子主语是law,谓语是made,easier是宾语补足语,逻辑宾语是to get a divorce,可见此句缺少形式宾语it.
5. fact后加that
fact之后的部分是同位语从句,补充说明fact,其引导词不能省略。
综合训练
1. small -> smaller
该句后面有than,所以前面应该是smaller。
2. make -> take
take advantage of 为固定搭配,意思为“利用”,与其同样意思的词组还有make use of。
3.basing -> based
base和它的逻辑主语是被动关系。
4. has -> have
句子的主语是two US appliance companies, 谓语动词要用复数。
5. Neither -> Both
根据文章的中心观点,这里时说两种产品都如何。故要用both
6. and -> but
本句的意思应该是:大部分人都是早上煮一壶咖啡 但却只喝一小杯。并列句前后应该是转折关系。
7. spends -> costs
spend的主语必须是人,此处主语是物,应该用cost表示 “该物花费了多少”。
8. maker 后加that或which
一个句子在没有连词的情况下不能带有两个谓语,本句的谓语是makes,而drips和之后的部分应该是定语从句修饰coffee maker,又由于先行词在从句中作主语,所以引导词不能省略。
9. closes前加and
在英语中,用逗号连接两个独立的主谓结构是不对的,所以要在closes前加and。
10. at -> in
表示“在...方面”,使用介词in.
