2016年英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题 参考答案与解析 11. How can I concentrate if you _________ continually ______ me with silly questions? A. have… interrupted B. are… interrupted C. had… interrupting D. were… interrupting 选A。虽然我觉得更应该说you are continually interrupting me with silly questions。不过这里用现在完成时表示的是一个动作发生过成为过去经历，有可能多次发生，也就是打断一次、两次、三次等等不断重复到现在。 12. Among the four sentences below, Sentence ___ expresses the highest degree of possibility? A. It may take a long time to find a solution to the problem. B. It might take a long time to find a solution to the problem. C. It could take a long time to find a solution to the problem. D. It should take a long time to find a solution to the problem. 选D。四个里把握度最高的是should，其次是may，最后是might和could。 13. She is a better speaker than _____ in the class. A. any boy B. the other boys C. other any girl D. all the girls 选A。主语是she，女的，所以不能选B。C的正确说法是any other girl。 14. Nobody heard him sing, ______? A. did one B. did he C. didn’t they D. did they 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》（章振邦）317页，nobody这种附加疑问句，书面语里用he。口语里偶见they。实际上，现代英语里为了避免有语言歧视（为什么只有he，没有she），很多人都避免只用he，而多改为they。 15. I can’t put up with ________. A. that friend of you B. that friend of yours C. the friend of you D. the friend of yours 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》（章振邦）57-58页，这种双重属格结构所修饰的名词可带a, any, some等表示非确定特指的限定词，但通常不带定冠词。比如a daughter of Mrs. Green’s, any/some daughters of Mrs/ Green’s。 16. There has been an increasing number of _______ in primary schools in the past few years. A. man teacher B. men teacher C. man teachers D. men teachers 选D。合成名词复数，man/woman这种，两种都要变成复数，比如women drivers。
英语四级考试必备基础语法知识 动词时态 1)现在完成进行时态 (have/has been + -ing 分词构成): 动作或状态从过去某时开始,继续到现在,可能继续下去,也可能刚刚结束. I’ve been writing letters for an hour. I’ve been sitting in the garden. 2)过去完成进行时(由had been + ing分词构成): 过去某个时刻以前一直在进行的动作 I’d been working for some tim e when he called. We had been waiting for her for two hours by the time she came. 3)将来完成进行时: 将来某个时刻以前一直在进行的动作. By next summer, he will have been working here for twenty years. In another month’s time she’ll have been studying here for three years. 4)将来完成时(由shall/will have + 过去分词构成): 将来某时已发生的事. I shall have finished this one before lunch. They’ll have hit the year’s target by the end of October. 动词语态 可以有两种被动结构的类型,例如: He was said to be jealous of her success. It was said that he was jealous of her success. 能同时适用于上述两个句型的主动词通常都是表示“估计”,“相信”等意义的动词,常见的有assume,believe,expect,fear,feel,know,presume,report,say,suppose,understand等. It is supposed that the ship has been sunk. The ship is supposed to have been sunk. 担当be supposed to 与不定式的一般形式搭配时往往表示不同的意义.例如: Why are you driving so fast in this area? You are supposed to know the speed to know the speed limit. (你应该晓得速度限制) 双宾语及宾补结构的被动语态 双宾语结构的被动语态: 双宾语结构变为被动语态时,可以把主动结构中的一个宾语变为主语,另一个宾语仍然保留在谓语后面,但多数是把间接宾语变为主语. He was asked a number of questions at the press conference.
英语四级名词语法题目
一名词的种类 1According to the new tax law, any money earned over that level is taxed at the of 59 per cent. A.ratio B. percentage C. proportion D. Rate 【详解】答案为D，按照新的税收法，凡是收入超过邢个标准的都要按59%的税率征税。 名词词义和用法辨析题。rate“比率”通常用于at the rate of(按......的比率)，故D正确。ratio“比，比率”，多以具体数据体现两个关系平行的事物的数量之比，所涉及的两个比较项必须同时出现；percentage“百分比”，因后面已经出现百分数，可排除此项；“比例”，通常用于in proportion to（依照比例；和......相比）和in the proportion of (以......的比例） 2The police have offered a large for information leading to the robber’s arrest. A.award B. compensation C.prize D.reward 【详解】答案为D，警方已经开出了大额悬赏，希望有人能提供有助于抓获抢劫犯的消息。reward表示“酬劳、报酬、奖赏”一般指因为做了某件事或提供了某种服务而应得的报答或酬谢。在本中，reward表示给提供消息的人报酬或奖赏，符合题意，选D。award表
示“奖，奖品，奖金”；prize的含义与award非常相似，也表示因出众的表现而获得的“奖品，奖金”，经常与某次考试、竞赛相联系；compensation 表示“补偿，赔偿” 3Drive straight ahead，and then you will see a to the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway. A.sign B. mark C.signal D.board 【详解】答案为A，直接向前开，然后你会看见一个路标指向上海一南京高速公路。sign“标记，记号，征兆”，尤指标准化的、复杂的或记号的形状本身带有指向意义的符号，还可指手势。在本甸用作“路标”这种标准化且带有形状含义的标记，符合题意。mark“标志，痕迹，记号”；signal“信号”，通常指特定情况下对有关人员发出的声音或行为；board“(供特殊用途的)木板”。 二名词单复数 4“Look!

第一章动词的时与体(Tense & Aspect) 时（tense）是个语法范畴，它是表示时间区别的动词形式。英语动词只有“现在时”和“过去时”，而没有“将来时”（在英语中，表示“将来”手段多种多样，但没有一种独特的、能与“现在时”和“过去时”平起平坐的专一表示“将来”的动词形式----“将来时”）。 体（aspect）也是一个语法范畴，它表示动作或过程在一定时间内处于何种状态的动词形式。英语有进行体(progressive aspect)和完成体(perfective aspect)。进行体是由助动词be的一定形式加主动词的-ing 分词构成；完成体由助动词have的一定形式加主动词的-ed分词构成。 现在时和过去时既可以单独使用，也可以和进行体或完成体结合使用，也可以同时与完成体和进行体结合使用。这样，英语的限定动词词组便有8种时、体形式。它们分别是：一般现在时(simple present)、一般过去时(simple past)、现在进行体(present progressive)、过去进行体(past progressive)、现在完成体(present perfective)、过去完成体(past perfective)、现在完成进行体(present perfective progressive)、过去完成进行体(past perfective progressive)。在这一章中，我们单独挑出完成体来加以详述。 1．1 必须使用完成体的结构 1）It (This, This evening, yesterday...) is (was, will be) first (second, third...) time (day, month…)…结构中的分句，要求用完成体。 Is this the first time you've been to Beijing? This was the first time he had been to Beijing. This is the eighth month that I have been out of work.. This was the eighth month that I had been out of work. This is the second time that the goods produced by our factory have been shown in the International Exhibition. This was the second time that the goods produced by our factory had been shown in the International Exhibition. 2）在no sooner…than, hardly/barely/scarcely…when,等的句型中，主句要用过去完成体。 He had no sooner seen me than he left the room. No sooner had he seen me than he left the room. The helicopter had hardly landed when the waiting crowd ran toward it. Scarcely had I seen the lightning when I heard a clap of thunder. 3）将来完成体用来表示在将来某一时间以前已经完成或一直持续的动作。经常与before+将来时间或by+将来时间连用，也可与before或by the time引导的现在时的分句连用。 I will have finished all the work by the time you are back this evening. I am sure he will have left Paris by this time tomorrow. I hope we will have got all the information before you come tomorrow. By the time you get to New York, I _______for London. （2002年1月） A) would be leaving B) am leaving C) have already left D) shall have left 本题时间状语为by+将来时间，考察将来完成体用法，应选择D)。 By the time he arrives in Beijing, we ________here for two days.（2001年6月） A) have been staying B) have stayed C) shall stay D) will have stayed 将来完成体用来可以表示在将来某一时间以前一直持续的动作，本句话的意思是：我们将在这里呆两天，因此谓语动词用将来完成体，答案为D)。 1．2 现在完成体与现在完成进行体 现在完成进行体兼有现在完成体和现在进行体二者基本特点。由于它有现在完成体的特点，所以它

The climate here is cooler throughout the year than other places of the country. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 考查比较状语从句。 本题考查比较状语从句，比较的是这里的气候与全国其他地区的气候，所以前后比较的成分应该一致，前面是地点状语here，所以后面也应是地点状语in the rest of the country。at一般用于修饰小的地点，故排除C。A选项中的the rest 和D选项中的other places为名词，不能单独作状语，故排除。故本题应该选B。 第2题 They came to inspect the house ______ buying it. A. in the event of B. with a view to C. with reference to D. on account of 【正确答案】：B

2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析 【完形填空原文】 Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: Without it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat. But everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be taxed equally? In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer’s income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent! But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it. Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement. 【语法题真题及解析】 51. Facing the board of directors,he didn't deny __________ breaking the agreement. A. him B. it C. his D. its 解析：本题考查动名词的逻辑主语。动名词可以有自己的逻辑（意义）主语，一般可以用名词所有格Tom‘s，代词宾格如him（口语），书面语情况下一般用物主代词his，their。本题选C，但我还是要吐槽，因为根本就不需要多此一举添加his, he didn't
大学英语四级常考语法总结 一、虚拟语气。应着重复习能引起虚拟语气的某些介词、介词短语和连词(如lest, in case, otherwise等);一部分表示建议、主张、命令等概念的词语，由于本身隐含说话人的主观愿望，其后的主语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句往往采用“should+动词原形”;虚拟倒装句;在would rather, wish, as if, it’s time that等句型中使用适当形式表达主观愿望;混合虚拟句。 二、独立主格题。一般说来，在句子中没有连接词的情况下，逗号是无力连接两个句子的，其中一个分句要么是非谓语形式，要么是独立主格结构。两种结构都做状语，不同的是独立主格结构有自己的逻辑主语。 三、时态。英语中共有16个时态。四级考试中出现最多的是将来完成时、现在完成时、过去完成时和完成进行时。 四、名词性从句。形容词性的定语从句是考核的重点，用什么引导词，引导词前面的介词形式，引导词在从句中做什么成分，从句的语序等均有可能成为考点。此外，主语从句、同位语从句、宾语从句也应适当复习。 五、主谓一致。这类考题灵活性大，需要根据实际情况判断谓语动词的单复数形式。一部分具有生命意义的集合名词做主语时谓语动词多采用复数形式，如people, poultry, militia等;用and连接的成分表单一概念时谓语动词用单数;就近原则：主语中含有某些连词(如as well as, besides, in addition to等)时，谓语动词的数同第一个主语保持一致。
六、倒装结构。分为全部倒装和部分倒装。那些否定词(组)、介词短语能引起倒装句，部分倒装和全部倒装有和区别，as在倒装结构中的用法及意义等等，都是考生应当重视的地方。 七、非谓语动词。①根据非谓语动词同其所修饰的名词或逻辑主语的一致关系，确定使用主动语态或被动语态，然后考虑采用现在分词、现在分词被动式或过去分词;②非谓语动词同主句谓语动词动作发生的先后关系。动作正在进行的用现在分词进行式，同时发生或不分先后发生的用现在现在分词一般式或过去分词;在主句谓语动词之前发生的用现在分词完成式、不定式完成式;发生在主句谓语动词之后的多用不定式一般式;③表状态多用分词，表目的多用不定式。
大学英语四级真题解析【2017年6月版】 新东方在线四六级赵奇 亲爱的同学们，大家好，非常荣幸给大家讲解我们四级的真题，我是四级翻译的主讲老师。今年四级翻译依然延续了往年的方式，从2016年开始，考的主题基本是同质性的。2016年12月份考三篇文章关于红色、黄色、白色，今年的主题也是一样的，考的长江、珠江和黄河，我们可以预测以后的四级翻译都是统一题材下三个不同的主体，这样有利于考试的公平。 下面主要对今年的四级翻译真题进行解析，包括一些长短句的解析和难词的解析，最后我们把答案给大家呈现出来，大家可以看一下。我们四级翻译的解析讲两方面的内容，第一是真题总评，第二是对第一、二、三套真题的解析。 首先，真题总评 2017年4月份的真题总评是2016年12月份的延续。2016年是红色、白色和黄色，2017年是珠江、长江和黄河，范文字数提高到了110-120左右。难度和范文字数都增加了，难度高于2016年真题，2016年12月份真题是放水之年，今年是平稳的态势。 第三是和考试相关的内容，大家考四级翻译的时候应该注意什么？我们发现今年介词短语的形式做后置定语和做状语是大量考查的。时态方面也有大量的考查，有过去时和现在完成时，大家备考的时候要注意时态。我们发现今年有一个新的课程，主题词汇，四级翻译出题不是随便出的，是根据历史文化经济发展来出的，以往的重要性凸显的不是很明显，今年考试中大量考查主题词汇，我估计很多同学写长江、珠江和黄河都会写错，但单词错了也只是扣一次的分数。 其次，逐篇讲解真题 第一篇文章，很多同学看到珠江是蒙的状态，长江黄河不会说，珠怎么说？珍珠不知道怎么
写。同学们，加勒比海盗5里提到的船叫Black Pearl，pearl就是珍珠的意思，所以珠江就是Pearl River。有的人说不会写，你会写汉语拼音吗？后面可以加一个River就可以了。如果丢了river怎么办？这是单词写作的错误，不会影响整体翻译的大局，只扣一次的分数。或者写一次珠江，后面用it来替代，翻译的时候要灵活应用。 接着我们进行翻译里边的难词解析，这里边应该有四个比较把握不准的单词，第一是珠江流经广州市，流经用flow through，我写了flow accross可不可以？flow accross也是可以的。有同学说不会写flow，写了run也是可以的，还有同学说run也不会写，写go through 可以吗？这个是经历了什么事情，不是流经了，所以是不可以的。第二个单词是城市聚集区，urban agglomeration，这个词既不是四级也不是六级，我个人认为这个词有点超纲，有的同学不会写agglomeration，这没有什么实质影响，可以进行同义词或近义词替换。我们在翻译的时候有很多不认识的词语怎么办？可以使用它的同义词或近义词。聚集区不会说，可以用地区area替换，城市聚集区，不会写agglomeration，可以写成area。第三个单词是改革开放。不会写这个单词的同学要反思一下自己，但凡上过我们新东方课的同学知道，改革开放一定是讲过的。改革reform，开放opening up，改革开放就是the reform and opening up。制造中心是manufacturing center，很多同学不会写manufacturing，不会写就变成工业中心，因为制造肯定属于工业，制造中心翻译成industrial center也可以，依据同近词替换法，翻译主要忠于原文，制造中心翻译成工业中心industrial center也是可以的。 下面给大家解析一下两个比较复杂的句子。 第一个句子：珠江是河南一大河流，流经广州市，是中国第三场河流，仅次于长江和黄河。为什么把这句挑出来解析？大家发现这句非常奇特，在中国看来这句话没有任何问题，但是翻译成英文有三个逗号，这就犯了语法的错误。大家知道，英文一个句子有一个主谓结
