代詞主要考查其與所指代的名詞是否一致;其次就是考查代詞的混淆,例如作形式主語的話,要使用it,而that沒有這個功能。
考點例析:
例1:The new houses, typically it the suburbs, were
often small and more or less identical, but it satisfied S9.________
a deep need.
解析:此處的代詞指代的是前面的new houses,所以應(yīng)該把it改為they.
例2:During the 1980s’ culture wars, school systems
across the country pulled some books from
library shelves because its content was deemed by 70._________
parents and teachers to be inappropriate.
解析:content前面的物主代詞對應(yīng)的是上一句的some books,所以應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式的物主代詞their。
例3:Traditionally, the American farmer has always been independent
and hard-working. In the eighteenth century farmers were quite
self-sufficient. The farm family grew and made almost nothing it S1._______
needed. The surplus crop would be sold to buy a few items in the
local general store.
解析:上一句說“在18世紀農(nóng)民是自給自足的”,那么接下去應(yīng)該是“農(nóng)民生產(chǎn)自己生活的一切東西”才符合邏輯,所以應(yīng)該將nothing改成everything.
