同位语主要由名词词组充当, 对其前面的名词或代词作补充说明, I came from Jiangying, a very beautiful and peaceful town. 例题: (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 答案: (D) 解释: 空白前的句子结构完整, 空格后的结构和宾语的很相似, (D)为名词词组, 构成宾语的同位语 (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 答案：B 解释：此句主谓俱全, 空格设在主语和谓语之间, 且两端都有逗号, 推知缺少的是主语的同位语, B是名词词组, 可以胜任;A D中的动词与原句谓语冲突; C 不是完整的同位语从句 考点四 名词(词组)作定语 名词修饰名词作定语的现象在英语中也屡见不鲜, 此时前面的名词相当于形容词的作用, 只是依英语习惯决定究竟用名词还是形容词作定语, TOEFL有少量题涉及这一问题 这样的词语有：word order(词序)， taxi driver(出租车司机)等 例题: (1) Situated in the heart of a grain-farming and livestock-raising region, Abilene, Kansas, is a prosperous trading and distribute center. 应改为: distribution/ distributing. 解释: 动词distribute不能修饰名词center，可改用名词或分词, 但此题中名词distribution作定语符合英文习惯 (2) Acrylic paint enables artists to experiment with many colors effects. 应改为: color 解释: 此处名词color作effects的定语无需用复数, 意为色彩效果 (责任编辑：admin) |
