[改错要领]
熟悉下列出现在句首、要求句子结构倒装的词和句型是做好此类试题的关键。
1.以否定词和具有否定意义的词组开头的句子:
no, not, neither, nor, never, nowhere;
little, seldom, barely, hardly, scarcely, rarely;
no longer, no less, no more, no sooner…than;
not until, even less, not once, not only…;
under no circumstances, in no way, by no means, in vain, on no account, at no time, at hardly any place.
2.以only+状语(副词、介词短语、从句)起首的句子:
only then, only at that time, only once…;
only in this way, only with…, only through…, only by…;
only when…, only after….only because….
3.以某些程度副词开头的句子:often, so, well.
4.以such或短语开头的句子:to such a degree, to such an extent, to such extremes, to such a point, etc.
5.以as引导让步状语从句时,从句中状语或表语要放在as前。
6.某些表示方向、位置的副词开头的句子,主谓要全部颠倒:out, down, up, in,…
七、形容词、副词和比较结构常见错误设置及答题思路
[常见错误]
1.误用-ly副词作系动词表语或宾语补足语(见1996年考题4)。
2.混用由-ing分词和-ed分词转化的两种形容词。
3.误用形容词修饰形容词或分词。
4.误将没有比较级形式的形容词用于比较级形式。
5.比较结构有误,即原级比较结构与比较级结构混在一起使用,或比较级形容词用于as…as…结构,原级形容词用于…than…结构。
6.比较对象不一致,即不是同类事物相比较。
例句:
