通過(guò)對(duì)2007年以來(lái)的廣東高考英語(yǔ)題、廣州一模和廣州二模等的語(yǔ)法填空題的研究,筆者發(fā)現(xiàn)逗號(hào)在高考中占有獨(dú)特的地位。若懂得了逗號(hào)之作用,那么高考中某些語(yǔ)法填空題就會(huì)迎刃而解。
眾所周知,英語(yǔ)句子的結(jié)束通常以句號(hào)為標(biāo)志。如果句子使用了逗號(hào),那么就表示句子尚不完整。就句子的組成而言,簡(jiǎn)單句的五種基本句型是:
從上表不難看出,句子最為基本的成分是:主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)。
一、句子之間是逗號(hào),連詞不可少
[例1]In 2003, Professor Dorrity and his wife retired,they came to Wuhan and started to work as volunteers at the Welfare Institute. (2013廣州一模)
句子結(jié)構(gòu)如下表:
通過(guò)上表,我們可以得出該句子結(jié)構(gòu)為:“主語(yǔ)+謂語(yǔ),主語(yǔ)+謂語(yǔ)?!逼鋵?shí)質(zhì)就是:“句子,句子。”其中的“逗號(hào)”說(shuō)明句子尚未完整。句子之間的連接,只能填連詞。根據(jù)兩句之間的邏輯關(guān)系,應(yīng)填A(yù)fter/When。
歸納起來(lái),??歼B詞(只能填一個(gè)單詞)思考的方向如下:
二、逗號(hào)后面無(wú)連詞,括號(hào)動(dòng)詞非謂語(yǔ)
[例2]They often take children on day-trips,________ (bring)along with them all kinds of food for the kids to enjoy. (2013廣州一模)
句子結(jié)構(gòu)如下表:
因They take...(主語(yǔ)+謂語(yǔ)=句子)后是逗號(hào),沒(méi)有連詞表明bring同take是并列關(guān)系,因此bring應(yīng)為非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,因發(fā)出bring這個(gè)動(dòng)作的應(yīng)是they,用現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作伴隨狀語(yǔ),故填bringing。
三、巧看句子逗號(hào),善辨定語(yǔ)從句
[例3]They also bought a wheelchair for ten-year-old Tan Jun, suffers from a brain problem. (2013廣州一模)
句子結(jié)構(gòu)如下表:
分析:They bought...(主+謂=句子);suffers 是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,其前面少了主語(yǔ)。同時(shí)既要充當(dāng)句子成分又要能起連接作用的,應(yīng)是什么詞呢?那就是引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句的關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞,或者引導(dǎo)名詞性從句的連接代詞和連接副詞。本句要填的詞是代表前面的那個(gè)名詞ten-year-old Tan Jun,能代表前面名詞、代詞或整個(gè)句子的意思,能在句中作句子成分,還能起連接作用,同時(shí)起這三個(gè)作用的只有關(guān)系詞。先行詞是人,在句子作主語(yǔ),故填who。
即時(shí)練習(xí)
請(qǐng)根據(jù)題中逗號(hào)的提示,在空格處填入一個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)脑~或用所給詞的正確形式填空。
