2016年托福语法介宾短语解析

  考点一 名词作介词宾语

大部分介词的宾语都是由名词(包括代词)充当的,如:under the tree, during the day, 这一考点在题中多次出现

例题:

(1)

The development of mechanical timepieces spurred the search for ----with which to regulate them.

(A) more accurate than sundials

(B) more accurate sundials

(C) sundials more accurately

(D) more accurately than sundials

答案:B

解释:search for缺少宾语, 只有B是表达无误的名词词组, 可以作宾语;其他选项的比较形式都有错。

(2)

Different species of octopuses may measure anywhere from two inches to over thirty feet in long.

应改为:in length.

解释:long 是形容词, 不能单独接在介词之后, 其名词形式length与in构成介宾短语, 表示长度

  考点二 动名词作介词宾语

名词作宾语时,之后不能再接宾语,这一缺陷可由动名词弥补。

如:before doing the job , after getting back

改错题中常把应该用动名词作宾语的地方误用为名词或不定式,需留心陷阱

例题:

(1)

The Conestoga wagon, used for to carry heavy loads over long distances, originatedaround 1725 in a region of Pennsylvania occupied by the Conestoga Indians.

应改为:carrying.

解释:不定式不能作for的宾语, 改为动名词即可

(2)

Copper sulfate, spread in judicious amounts, kills algae ----harming fish or aquatic invert-ebrates.

(A) does not

(B) but does no

(C) except

(D) without

答案:D

解释:harming 是动名词形式, 因此要求前面的词是介词或可接动名词的动词. A B 可首先排除; C 虽是介词, 但与句意不符.

(3) Mary Ann Hardy was known for her skill to paint miniature watercolor portraits on ivory.

应改为:in painting

解释:后置定语修饰名词,什么方面的技能,不能用不定式。
