这两题考察的都是though/as引导的状语从句的倒装形式。
Though引导的状语从句有略微否定的意思,这种情况下,可以用倒装结构装表语和宾语提前。这种结构同样适用于as引导的否定义状语从句。所以:
much as 和 much though 其实是把much提到了as 和though的前面构成的倒装结构。
注意这种倒装的句子,不能用although引导(为了排除第二题选项B)
举例:
Though he is clever= clever as/though he is
Though he is a boy = boy as/though he is
Though he can eat much = much as/ though he can eat
Child as she is, she can speak 2 foreign languages. 尽管她是个孩子,她能说2门外语。
Brave as he was, he couldn't finish this difficult task. 尽管他很勇敢,可是他没能完成任务。
Try as he might, he failed at last. 尽管他试了,但仍然失败了。
再次强调一下,在倒装句中只能用as或though 引导;在陈述句语序中只能用although/ though引导,不可用as (排除第一题A,第二题C)
这样的倒装结构刚开始觉得别扭,但其实让人讲到句子时更明确其后要接转折的意味,平添一份文采。
理解了这些,这两题应该没什么难度了吧。
第一题B/D, 第二题D
我认为第一题有两个对的,楼主能告诉我正确答案真只有一个吗??(研考题还真能变态的。。)
做这种题,知道是考倒装了,就把句子顺过来看。
第一题顺装:Though he likes her much, he...
第二题顺装:As he likes her much, he...
完全一个套路,万变不离其宗啊。
If only the committee would approve the regulations and put them into effect as soon so possible.
要是委员会能尽快批准这些规章制度并付诸实施就好了。
选would approve
if only 引导虚拟语气,选D
你的头发需要剪了,sth. want doing ,这时候的want,意思是“必须,应该”,相当于need。这里的doing有被动的意思,相当于to be done. 选C
(1)If only 但愿,虚拟语气,所以选择would approve
(2)物作主语时:
sth. want doing ,这时候的want,意思是“必须,应该”,相当于need。这里的doing有被动的意思,相当于to be done.
所以选择cutting
答案应该是(1)-A;(2)-D
