二.双重
(18)——touching in O Henry's stories is the gallantry with which ordinary people struggle to maintain their dignity?
A.Most is B.Is mostly C.Is it most D.What is most
本题在“去掉独立成分”后只剩了—is the gallantry"。很显然缺少了主语.但四个选项几乎都有一个代词加一个谓语动词。
这就意味着作为正确答案的那个选项中的代词必须一词二用——一个词充当两个成分;这样再加上"touching”(这里"touching"是作后置定语,所以不“独立”)和“the gallantry"分别充当两个“is’’的主语和表语。最终答案是"D".为什么呢?因为四个选项中只有"what"具有“双重"的功能.
那么,具体地说,什么是"双重"?托福语法部分常见的具有"双重"功能的连词有哪些呢?所谓的“双重”,这里指的是连词除了正常的句法功能外还充当另外一个句子成分。而所谓的"正常”指的是按照一般的语法规则要求。在这种"正常"的情况下:
①形容词性(定语从句)的连词(关系代词)除有“关联”功能外还在从句中充当一个实际成分 (主语、动词宾语、介词宾语或定语)。如:
The same forces that create surface tension in any sample Of water are responsible fOr the maintenance Of these unbroken columns Of water.(充当主语)
The early European settlers Of the United States did not abandon the diversions with which their ancestors had traditionally relieved the tedium of life.(充当介词宾语)
但涉及到时间、地点(方位)、原因、方式时,连词(关系代词)不充当从句中的成分。如:
The knee is joint where the thigh bone meets the large bone Of the lower leg.
②名词性从句(主语、宾语或表语、同位语从句)和副词性从句(状语从句)的连词(关系代词) 除具有这一功能外,在从句中一般不充当任何成分。如:
|That he was an honest man helped him win the respect from the people around.
