距16考研初试仅剩一个多月,对于考研英语,此时应多注重技巧答题,下面就给大家说说如何判断和应对插入语。

我们知道在英语句式中,主语和谓语,动词和宾语一般而言应该是紧密相连的,但是在考研真题中我们却往往发现这些成分往往被活生生的被其他成分拆开了。这种情况就是我们所说的分隔了,分隔了句子的不是句子语法成分,而只是对句子进行补充说明,那这个结构就是我们所谓的插入结构了。

在这里就会自然的提出两个问题。第一,间隔的位置一般位于什么哪里?第二,插入语一般由什么东西构成?下面就给大家详细介绍。

一、在文章中看得最多的情况

(1) 主谓分隔:Rose, a young American poet, is brilliant. (被同位语隔开)

Susan, I suppose, finds the right way to go.(被插入语隔开)

(2) 复合谓语分隔:You might at least offer to help. (被状语隔开)

(3) 动宾分隔:They estimated in the newspaper the costs of health care.(被状语隔开)

(4) 固定搭配分隔:They thought in a systematic way about the problems.(被状语隔开)

(5) 连词与后续部分分隔。

在考研真题中这种情况非常多。比如,What is hard to establish is whether the productivity revolution that the business assume they are presiding over is for real.中they are presiding over 就是一个主谓结构的插入语,隔开了主谓部分。

另外,这种情况在翻译真题出的频率也很高:Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind.在这里in its strongest form 这个介词短语讲定于从句的引导词与定从隔开了。

二、到底什么东西做插入语

首先要说明一点就是插入语的成分问题,它是一个对句子的内容补充、添加、限制或者解释说明,并不是句子的独立语法成分,在阅读时可以跳读来把握句子整体结构。

一般说来由以下三个层面来做插入语:

第一从词的层面比如副词:consequently, however,等。This view, however, seems to be wrong.

第二个层面短语

如不定式短语to tell you the truth, to be frank 等,或者for example 也是。

Mr. McWhorter ’s academic specialty is language history and change, he sees the gradual disappear of “whom ”, for example, to be natural ……这个地方for example 所处的位置阻碍了同学们对于这个宾语和宾补的理解,增加了该句的难度,而这一点往往是考研的重点。

第三个层面就是句子层面了,比如as we know it, what we call it

He is what we call it a walking dictionary.

2018年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)试题答案详解 注意:英语试卷为花卷,以答案内容进行核对 整理:凯程中传果酱老师 Section I Use of English 1、【答案】[B]for 【解析】此处考察介词的用法。it’s a necessary condition____many worthwhile things(信任是一个必要条件_____许多重要事情)此处应该是说,信任对许多重要事情来说是一个必要条件。B选项for(对...来说)符合语义,故为正确答案;A选项from(来自于),C选项like(像...),D选项on(关于)语义不恰当,故排除。 2、【答案】[C]faith 【解析】此处考察词义辨析和中心一致性原则。第一段首句提出主题句:trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进一步对该主题句进行解释说明:On the one hand, it’s a necessary condition___for___many worthwhile things:child care,friendships,etc.(一方面,信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件,比如照看孩子,友谊等),这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand,putting your___in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面,把...放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大...),显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”,只有C选项faith(信任、忠诚)与trust属于近义词复现,故正确答案为[C]faith。 3、【答案】[B]price 【解析】此处考察词义辨析。第一段首句提出主题句:trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进一步对该主题句进行解释说明:On the one hand,it’s a necessary condition__for__many worthwhile things:child care,friendships,etc.(一方面,信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件,比如照看孩子,友谊等),这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand, putting your___in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面,把...放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大...),显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”,并且根据空格所在句中的关键词“wrong place”,本句应该在说信任不当的弊端,所以空格处应该填入一个负向感情色彩的词,故A选项benefit和D选项hope排除,而C选项debt(债务)带入之后语义不当,故正确答案为[B]price(代价)。

2017考研英语一阅读答案

2017考研英语一阅读答案 答案:21-25 ACDDC 21. 答案【A】explain American’s tolerance of current security checks. 解析:本题目为例证题,考察论点与论据。根据题干关键词the crash of Egypt Air Flight 804定位到第二段第二句。例证题中的例子为论据,所要找的答案为论点,而论点在论据之 前,因此该题目的答案是第二段的第一句话。二段首句说的是美国人愿意忍受长时间的安全 检查。正确答案A的American’s tolerance是原文Americans are willing to tolerate的原词复现,current security checks是原文的time-consuming security 的同义转化。干扰项B 的urgency to strengthen security worldwide,原文未提及worldwide,属于扩大范围;选项C的major U.S. major airports属于具体信息的干扰;选项D的privacy 隐私并未提及,是常识性干扰。 22. 答案【C】An increase in the number of travelers. 解析:本题目为原因细节题。根据题干中的long waits at major airports定位到原文第三段的第二句,原文的resulted in 与题干中的contributed to是同义转化,所以定位内容就 是提升的安全措施以及航空旅游的增加。正确答案C的an increase in the number of travelers 是原文 a rise in airline travel的同义替换。干扰项A的carry-on bags是在第四段的最后一句出现的,非定位句内容;选项B的TSA efficiency也出现在第四段;选项D的unexpected secret checks未提及。

考研英语二阅读理解全文翻译

英语二T e x t 1 1---Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising(修改) their thinking on his educational ritual(例行公事). Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible (不可变更的) policy which mandates(批准) that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade。 家庭作业从来就没有受到学生甚至家长的真正欢迎,但最近几年来,家庭作业却受到人们的鄙视。全国的学校都在修改家庭作业的相关惯例做法。不幸的是,洛杉矶学区通过了一项不可变更的政策:除了高等课程,家庭作业在学分中所占比例不可以超过10%。 21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____。 [A] is receiving more criticism [B] is no longer an educational ritual(绝对) [C] is not required for advanced courses(正反) [D] is gaining more preferences(正反) 2---This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children。 这个规定旨在提出:来自贫穷家庭或混乱家庭的学生有困难,不能完成家庭作业。但该政策是不清晰的,是矛盾的。显然,没有哪个家庭作业是在没有昂贵设备就无法完成的。但如果该学区因为学生家庭复杂而不做家庭作业就给他通过的话,那么这就意味着对于贫穷孩子,标准要降低。

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题:医学(18)

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题:医学(18) It was a big week for Alzheimer's disease, and not just because PBS aired The Forgetting, a first-rate documentary about Alzheimer's worth catching in reruns if you missed it the first time. There was also a flurry of scientific news that offered hope to the families already struggling with Alzheimer's, as well as to the baby-boom generation that's up next. Unless something dramatic happens, the number of Americans living with this terrifying brain disease could triple, to about 16 million, over the next 50 years. There's still no cure in sight, but there is progress on several fronts. Among them: MEGADOSE VITAMINS Doctors knew vitamins E and C, both antioxidants, help stave off Alzheimer's, at least in folks who haven't already developed the disorder. What they didn't know——but a big study involving 4,740 participants published in the Archives of Neurology showed——was that the two vitamins taken together in huge daily doses (at least 400 IU of E and more than 500 mg of C) could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's a remarkable 78%. COMBINATION THERAPY A yearlong study of more than 400 Alzheimer's patients showed that two drugs that work differently on the brain's chemistry act well together to help slow down the disease. Patients who were being treated with donepezil (sold as Aricept), an older drug that preserves the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, were also given memantine (Namenda), a new drug approved by the FDA last October that blocks overproduction of a harmful brain chemical called glutamate. The two drugs worked even better
