1 括号内提供的是名词 1 括号内提供的如果是名词, 尤其是单数名词, 就应该考虑空格处是否需要填冠词 (a,an,the) 物主代词(my,your,his 等 ) 指示代词(this,that 等 ) 不定代词(few, little,many,much,all,each,every,both,neither,other 等 ) 名词所有格或形容词等对名词进行修饰 2 相反, 如果给出的名词是在冠词物主代词指示代词不定代词名词所有格或形容词之后, 则应考虑填名词但不要忘记, 要考虑名词是否变复数, 是否用所有格形式等如 : One of my father s favorite (say)as I was growing up was Try it! 答案 sayings 这道题主要考查考生在特定语境中正确使用名词复数的能力考查考生是否知道 one of+ 名词的复数形式在句子中作主语, 谓语动词用单数形式本句中 as 引导时间状语从句, 表达的功能是时空概念该从句没有直接放在主句之后, 而是进行了插入, 放在了主句的主语之后, 进行强调完整的主句是 : One of my father s favorite (say)was Try it. 从该句的主系表结构中可以看出,one of my father s favorite (say) 在句子中作主语 say 要做两次转换 : 首先要转换成为名词 ; 再将名词转为相应的复数形式 say 的名词是 saying, 其复数形式是 sayings 考生如果写对了 saying 只是做到了词形正确, 同时还要保持单词的正确所以正确答案是 sayings 3 当括号内提供的是名词时, 还可能考查形容词如 : There,my voice sounds really (wonder) because there s a slight echo to it. 答案 wonderful 括号内提供的是名词, 但此空作系动词 sounds 的表语, 所以要使用形容词形式有时也可能考查副词动词等如 : A certain man planted a rose and watered it (faith)and before it blossomed,he examined it. 答案 faithfully 括号内提供的是名词, 但此空在句中作状语, 修饰动词 watered, 第 1 页共 15 页
