①内容分析
在看今天的句子之前,我们先来看看2019年全国1卷的这两道语法填空题,也是我被问了无数次的题目。
Of (69) __________ nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations, three are declining, six (70) __________ (be) stable, one is increasing, and nine lack enough data.
第一个空格没有提示词,后面是短语还是句子?
第二个空格需要填be动词,是谓语还是非谓语?
要说清楚这两个问题,就得看明白这个句子的结构,你在这里看到的其实是一个数学的提取公因式或合并同类项的过程。我们都知道:
ax+bx+cx = x(a+b+c)
那么请看下面的三个句子。
Five of the 10 students like reading.
Three of the 10 students like painting.
Two of the 10 students like hiking.
首先,三个句子肯定是并列关系,分别描述这10个学生喜欢的三件事。其次,三个句子里有共通的部分“of the 10 students”。那么如果我想把这三句话合并成一句,我要怎么做?
第一步:把共通的部分提取出来,放在句首,然后逗号;
Of the 10 students, ……
第二步:把剩下的内容照抄,用并列连词and连接,还记得三者并列的写法吗?
Of the 10 students, five like reading, three like painting, and two like hiking.
在10个学生里,5个喜欢阅读,3个喜欢绘画,2个喜欢远足。
你会看到,这个改造方式,和“ax+bx+cx = x(a+b+c)”,其实是一个性质。
现在再来看那个语法填空里的句子,那两个问题能回答了吗?
Of (69) __________ nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations, three are declining, six (70) __________ (be) stable, one is increasing, and nine lack enough data.
第一个空格没有提示词,后面是短语还是句子?
当然是短语。这里是of的介词短语,是从后面的三个句子里提取出来的部分,“在19个被认出的北极熊群体中”。注意recognized是非谓语。
第二个空格需要填be动词,是谓语还是非谓语?
当然是谓语。后面是四个句子的并列,“3个……,6个……,1个……,还有9个……”。
69题,既然无提示空格后面是短语,能考虑的也就只有介词和冠词。前面已经有介词of了,所以这里考虑冠词,19个当然是确定的,所以用定冠词the。
70题,需要谓语,旁边提示一般现在时,主语是six复数,所以用are。
Of the nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations, three are d
