本期重点：句子结构混乱
主要问题是一个简单句出现了两个或多个谓语，或者用动词作句子的主语或宾语, 或者句子关系结构混乱等

考点例析
例1：In ordinary speech, a person of culture is the individual
can speak another language - the person who is familiar S5.______
with the arts, music, literature, philosophy, or history.
解析：这个句子出现了两个位于动词，在英语中不符合语言规范，从下文可以看出后面部分是修饰individual的定语从句，缺少了引导词，所以要在can前加who或that。
例2：There are backward towns on the edge of Bombay or
Brasilia, just as though there were on the edge of S3._______
seventeenth-century London or early nineteenth-
century Paris.
解析：本句大意是：在孟买或巴西利亚周边有一些落后的城镇，正如17世纪的伦敦或19世纪初期周边也有一些落后城镇一样。两句之间的连词应该表示比较，“与...相同”，使后一句成为前一句的比较状语从句。连词as意为“像...一样”，前面just强调程度表示“正如，与...相同”。
例3：When the wedding is gathered by the altar, the bride and
groom exchange vows. Fllowing the vows, the couple
exchange rings. Wear the wedding ring on the forth finger of ________
the left hand is an old custom.
解析：本句的主语是动词短语Wear the wedding ring on the forth finger of the left hand，但动词本身不能做主语，只有用其相应的动名词形式才能做主语，所以将wear改为wearing

long. With him she roved through bushy grounds and groves and

wolves, but the young man just laughed at the idea.
One day, after warning him thus, she left to Olympus in 4.________

despair she flew to Zeus and implored him to restore Adonis to

prepared to comply with her request. After the much dispute a 9.________
compromise was worked out under which Adonis was to spend

参考答案及解析：
巩固与拓展
1. as -> /
这里应该表示“即使”的意思，所以去掉as，even if“即使，尽管”。
2. expand -> expanding, change -> changing

3. depend -. depending
4. separated前加that
此处separate后面应为定语从句，修饰capitalist production。此处定语从句缺少主语，需要加上引导词。
5. end -> ending

综合训练
1. to → /
did这里代表前文提到的动词loved，是及物动词，不用介词就可直接加宾语。
2. companion → company
keep sb. company是固定搭配，意为“与某人做伴”，companion与company是同义词，都是“伴侣”之意，但companion是可数名词，而company则不可数。
3. times ∧ to → not
warn sb. not to do sth. 是固定搭配，意为“警告某人不要做某事”。很多有“警告某人做某事”的说法，况且这里根据上下文知道Aphrodite常警告Adonis不要捕猎狮、狼一类凶猛的野兽。
4. to → for
leave for a place,意为“出发去某地”，介词用for不用to。
5. that → which
这里是一个非限制定语从句，应该用which引导。
6. and → but
这里有一个语气的转折，前一个分句说“他用标枪投中了这头野兽”，后面一个分句紧接
着就说“但这只野猪却向他扑来……”前后形成对比，一个讲人的行动，一个讲兽的行动，两者互相攻击。
7. low → lower做形容词用的low，有“地位低下”之意，但也常有“品质、道德”败坏之意，所以引申意常代替本意。这里lower world指的是“冥府,地下”，是和地下世界比较而言，因此较常用low的比较级形式。
8. therefore → however
上下文说Aphrodite把死去的Adonis变成了一种美丽的花，但仍不感到安慰，又向宙斯求助要他向冥王把Adonis讨回。因此，这里如果用therefore则隐含“感到安慰”之意，如果是however，则表转折，意为“仍不满足”。
9. the → ／
dispute是不可数名词，意为“争辩、讨论”。much dispute表示“大量争吵，讨价还价”，the完全不必要。
10. rest → remaining
rest表“剩下”时，可说the rest of… 或只说the rest，在这里说“剩下的六个月”是the rest of the year或the remaining 6 months。
