非谓语动词与独立主格：短语，句子（或者句子，短语）

1.当短语部分有独立主语，并且该主语不同于句子主语，这时短语结构称为独立主格。（它最明显的特点是短语部分有独立的主语）。

独立主格的结构1：名词（代词）+ 分词 [现在分词、过去分词]

现在分词表示主动的，正在进行的行为；过去分词表示被动的，已经完成的行为。 作题时要通过判断动作与名词（代词）之间的关系来确定是使用现在分词还是过去分词。当动作由名词（代词）发出时使用现在分词，而名词（代词）是受动者时则用过去分词。

54. Silver is the best conductor of electricity, copper _B_ it closely. A followed B following C to follow D being followed 49. All things _A_, the planned trip will have to be called off.

as well as 和（相当于and）； be encouraged不会考。

动词不定式有预示将来行为的含义。to be encouraged 将要被鼓励；

been encouraged 已经被鼓励完了，与主句的谓语动词相对；being encouraged 正在被鼓励 2.短语部分没有独立主语，则短语结构称为非谓语动词。 非谓语动词的结构：分词（分词短语）

句子的主语决定非谓语动词中的分词是用主动还是被动形式。如果是句子的主语发出动作，则使用现在分词；如果动作不是由句子的主语发出，则使用过去分词。

43.No matter how frequently _A_, the works of Beethoven always attract large audiences. A performed B performing C to be performed D being performed perform vt. 表演，演出，演奏；

to be performed 将要被演奏； being performed 正在被演奏； 一些特殊的动词：

第一点：forget 忘记； [反义] remember 记得；

这两个词后加动词不定式表示将要进行的行为；这两个词后加动词ing形式表示已经做过的事情。 注意：动名词与现在分词形式一样，但含义不同。这两个词后加动词ing形式都是动名词。 forget to do sth. 忘记要去做某事； forget doing sth. 忘记做过某事；

remember to do sth. 记得要去做某事； remember doing sth. 记得做过某事； 62. I remember _B_ to help us if we ever got into trouble. A once offering B him once offering C him to offer D to offer him offer vt. 提出，提供； offer sb. sth. / offer to do sth. him once offering 如果改成 his once offering 也正确。

动名词的复合结构：凡是一个动词的后面可以加动名词，就可以加动名词的复合结构。

动作发出者 + 动名词；当动作发出者名字给出时：名词所有格 + 动名词；当动名词的复合结构在文章中出现，且动作发出者在前文中提过时：形容词物主代词（宾格）+ 动名词。

形容词物主代词：his, her, my, your, their, our。代词宾格：him, her, me, you, us, them。 第二点：want 想要； want to do sth. 想做某事； want doing 客观需要或缺乏。 48. Your hair wants _B_. You'd better have it done tomorrow. A cut B cutting C to cut D being cut 注意：want doing 中doing表示的是被动含义。 18. This room is so dirty that it wants _A_. A cleaning B to clean C being cleaned D cleaned

第4课

主谓一致：指的就是给出主语，要求判断谓语动词是用单数还是复数的问题。 一、就近原则：

指句子的主语由两部分单词或短语构成时，由离谓语动词近的那部分主语来决定谓语动词的单复数。 只有当以下单词或短语连接主句的两部分时就近原则才适用：

1. or 或者； 2. either … or … 不是…就是… ，…或… ； 3. neither … nor … 既不…也不… ；

25

新东方四级大纲词汇

4. not only … but also … 不但…而且… ； 5. not … but … 不是…而是… 例如：主语1 or 主语2 谓语动词。 此时由主语2决定谓语动词。 10. _C_ either he or his accountants going to claim for the loss? A Are B Where C Is D Does

如果题目改变为：Either he or his accountants ___ going … 则应选A 二、句子谓语动词一定用复数的两种情况：

常见的几个复合名词： people 人民，人们； police 警察； cattle 牛； poultry 家禽。 2. 表示数量的复数名词 + 不可数名词，整体做主语时

例如：去年出口了八百万顿煤。 Eight million tons of coal were exported last year. 三、谓语动词一定用单数的六种情况：

1. 句子的主语是由从句充当的、动词不定式短语作主语、动名词短语作主语； 2. 表示时间、重量、长度、价值四方面的词做主语； 399. -- “How many days?”

0 -- “Did you say that five days _C_ required to complete that work?” A are B were C was D is

3. 表示单数概念的主语，短语，谓语动词，此时谓语动词也用单数； 因为此结构中短语只是对主语提供附加说明情况，所以谓语动词也用单数。

当以下这些标志性的介词或介词短语出现在此结构中时可以不管中间的附加说明情况： with, together with, like, except, besides, in addition to, rather than, as well as 注意：表示复数概念的主语，短语，谓语动词，此时谓语动词应用复数。

4. each, every, either, some, any, no，由以上六个词中任何一个所构成的复合代词作主语时； some经常构成的三个复合代词：something, somebody, someone； no经常构成的三个复合代词：nothing, nobody, no one； either of + 短语；

5. 通常由and连接两部分这种形式做主语谓语动词要用复数，但在以下两种情况下则应用单数； 1> and连接的两部分指的是同一事物；

2> and连接的两部分被no, each, every中任何一个词修饰时；

例如：每位男士和女士都要着装得体。 be supposed to do sth. 理应，应该做某事。 Every man and every woman is supposed to dress properly. 11. Many an airplane _B_ in the exhibition. A are shown B has been shown C has shown D show them
