英语练习真题:遥主格结构赏析请看下面一道题:Not far from the school there was a garden, _________ owner seated in
it playing chess with his little grandson every afternoon.
A. its B. whose C. which D. that
【分析】此题很容易误选B,许多同学会认为句中逗号后是一个非遥遥的定语从句,whose 在定语从句中用作定语修饰其后的名词
owner。 此分析从表面上看,似乎天衣无缝,但实质上是错的,原因是空格后根本不是一个句子,因为没有谓语。 尽管句中有两个动词,但它们都是非谓语动词。 也许有的同学认为,其中的
seated 可视为谓语动词,但是注意,seat 用作动词时,它总是及物的,其后要么接宾语,要么它就用于被动语态,所以若在 seated 前加上助动词
is,则可以选择B(当然若将 seated (当然若将 seated sitting,也应选择B)。 所以此题较佳答案选A。 请再看一个类似的例子: (1) He
wrote a lot of novels, many of _________ translated into foreign languages.
A. it B. them C. this D. that
(2) He wrote a lot of novels, many of _________ were translated into foreign
languages. A. it B. them C. which D. that
第(1)应选B,而不能选C,是因为句中的 translated 是过去分词(非谓语动词),若选C,则该从句无谓语;第(2)应选C,因为句中有谓语 were
translatedC。
再请看下面一例:(3) He wrote a lot of novels, and many of _________ were translated
into foreign languages.
A. it B. them C. which D. that
【分析】此题与上面的第(2)题不同,两句间多了一个并列连词and,说明这是一个并列句,故应选B,则不能选C。
请做做以下三题(答案均为B):
(1) There I met several people, two of _________ being foreigners.
A. which B. them C. whom D. that
(2) There I met several people, two of _________ were foreigners.
A. which B. whom C. who D. that
(3) There I met several people, and two of _________ were foreigners.
A. which B. them C. whom D. that
