强调句型
一、考点概述
省略结构在考研英语中的考查主要体现在句子的理解层面,主要分为两类:一类是借助于其他词语的省略,如使用助动词代替前文出现过的动词,使用代词代替提到过的名词;另一类直接省略,如略去上下文的重合部分,通常是主语(和/或)谓语。
二、要点精析
省略结构的掌握要求是:
1.快速识别句子省略的内容;
2.补全句子省略的内容。常见的省略现象会出现在并列结构中、状语从句中、名词性从句中和定语从句中。
(1)并列结构中的省略
在并列句中,后面的分句往往省略和上文重合的部分。
例:
I think you’ll win the race; indeed we all think so.
我认为你一定会赢得这场比赛,事实上我们都这样想。(so=you’ll win the race)
(2)状语从句中的省略
在when/while/if/as if/though(although)/as/until/whether等连词引导的状语从句中,若谓语是be,主语是it或与主句的主语相同时,则通常连同be动词一起被省略。
例:
If (it is) necessary, we can give you another chance.
如果必要的话,我们可以再给你一次机会。
(3)名词性从句中的省略
常见的是使用不定式在主动表达中省略动词的施动者,在被动表达中省略助动词、情态动词等。
例:
She will go to Beijing, but I don’t know how (she will go to Beijing).
她将去北京但我不知道她怎么去。
(4)定语从句中的省略
定语从句中也常使用不定式作为省略的手段;当用as引导非限制性定语从句时,常省略系动词。
例1:
All tests require a potential candidate with whom (the tests) to compare DNA.
所有的测试都需要一个潜在的对象,从而可以将DNA与其比较。
例2:
He gave the same answer as (he had given) before.
他给出的答案和以前一样。
三、试题举例
However , it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell at first can suddenly become sensitive to it when exposed to it often enough . (05,完型)
【重点词汇解析】insensitive,adj. 感觉迟钝的;expose,vt. 使曝光、揭露、显示
【参考翻译】然而我们却发现,即使某些人开始时对某种气味不敏感,如果经常接触这种气味,也会对它敏感起来。
比较句型结构

【参考翻译】他们可能擅长教书,而且不仅仅专注于赚钱,但是这些人大部分对涉及人类道德判断的问题很少或没有进行独立的思考。
否定句型结构

All is not gold that glitters .
2. 双重否定
双重否定分为三种:
肯定型:

委婉型:
I can’t hardly read your hand writing .
3. 几乎否定

强调句型结构
一、理论常识
强调主要有两种形式:
1. 强调谓语:
Eg1 : I love you . —> I do love you . —> I did love you .
Eg2 : Cell phone / Internet / computer brings us convenience .—> Cell phone / Internet / computer does bring us convenience .
2. 强调句式:
It is / was + 被强调成分 +that / who + 句子其他成分。
【步骤】
a. 先写出正确的简单句、并列句或复合句,明确单句的各个成分。
b. 在被强调成分(除谓语和补语外)两边添加it is / was 和that / who, 其他成分不变,必要时调整顺序。
【强调句式特征】去掉it is / was ... that / who结构,整个句子无冗余或成分残缺。
Eg1 : My mother always encourages me not to lose heart when I have difficulties in study .
—> It is my mother who / that always encourages me not to lose heart when I have difficulties in study .
—> It is when I have difficulties in study that my mother always encourages me not to lose heart .
二、试题举例

一、理论常识
插入结构表示说话人的态度和看法,解释或者说明整个句子,去掉之后句子仍然完整。插入结构的成分可以是副词、形容词短语、介词短语、不定式短语、分词短语或者主谓结构。在这就不一一论述了。但值得注意的是插入语的翻译,有些插入语,尤其是位于句首的插入语,可保持原文中的词序。然而,在许多情况下,需要对英语原文句子的顺序作必要的调整,使译文符合汉语习惯。
二、试题举例
But , for a small group of students , professional training might be the way to go since well-developed skills , all other factors being equal , can be the difference between having a job and not .
