1、FOR TEM 4Grammar说明以下总结的专四常考点，我们不着重与详尽的语法介绍，只是对历年专四常考的语法进行总结。我们的目标是对于必考语法点完全拿下。一 比较结构(comparative Construction)英语中比较结构最主要有三种： asas结构 morethan结构 themost结构1.asas结构基本模式：as+adj/adv(原级）+as否定形式：1)notas/so+adj/adv(原级）+as2)也可用lessthane.gJohnisasbrightasBob.(否定）JohnisnotasbrightasBob.JohnislessbrightthanBob.用
2、法：1.主语不同，比较项目相同。Thisparcelisasheavyasthatone.2.主语相同，比较项目不同。Thegirlwasasbrilliantasshewasbeautiful.这姑娘既漂亮又聪明。3.主语和比较项目都不同。 Theswimmingpoolisnttwiceaswideasthatoneislong.（倍数+as+adj/adv+as.)另一种模式：asmuch/many+n+as否定形式：notas/somuch/many+n+as1)Hetookasmuchbutterasheneed.Hedidnttakeas/somuchbutterasheneede
3、d.2)Shehaswrittenasmanyessaysasherbrother(does).Shehasntwrittenasmanyessaysasherbrother(does).变体形式：as+adj(原级）+名词词组+as(注意下列句子的语序）1.GeorgeisasefficientaworkerasJack.(名词的意义受到强调）orGeorgeisaworker(whois)asefficientasJack.(形容词的意义受到强调）2.Idontwantasexpensiveacarasthis.2.morethan结构1)用于在两个人或物之间作同一方面的比较。Thecon
4、certwasmoreenjoyablethanlecture.2)用于同一个人或物的本身作不同方面的比较。Thepresentcrisisismuchmoreapoliticalthananeconomiccrisis.当前的危机与其说是经济危机，不如说是政治危机。此用法也可用于lessthan结构，但得出相反的含义。Thepresentcrisisismuchlessapoliticalthananeconomiccrisis.当前的危机与其说是政治危机，不如说是经济危机。3.（the）+adj/adv最高级+比较范围比较级形式表示最高级意义时，比较对象的范围应用：anyother+单数名
5、词theother+复数名词theothersanyone/anythingelse上述词是用来将比较级结构转变成最高级意义的关键词语，切不可遗漏，否则会造成逻辑混乱的错误。补充说明1notsoas¬somuchasLondonisntsobigasTokyo.伦敦没有东京大。ItwasntsomuchhisappearanceIlikedashispersonality.(与其说我喜欢他的外表，不如说我喜欢他的为人。）前一例相当于一般的比较结构，后一例相当于lessthan 的含义。 not so much as是一个专四常考结构。真题举例：1.Itisnotsomuchthelang
6、uageasthebackgroundthatmakesthebookdifficulttounderstand.(99,45)(07.57)【注：同一个句子专四考了两次，这说明了反复看往年题的重要性】2.Thattrumpetplayerwascertainlyloud.ButIwasntbotheredbyhisloudnesssomuchasbyhislackoftalent.(04,41)2.notmore/-erthan与nomore/-erthanJohnisnotbetterthanTom.(否定前者，肯定后者)JohnisnobetterthanTom.(对前后者都否定）真题举

8、eandmorethemore.themore表示两个过程中同时递增，是主从结构。moreandmore只表示一个过程的不断增长。如thewildertherangeofourlifeandthemorevariousthecontactswehave,thewilderandsupplermustbeourcommandoverarangofEnglishstyles.5.“ofa+n”的比较级“ofa+n”相当于一个形容词，表示具有后面那个名词的性质；若该名词为可数名词，名词之前要加不定冠词。它的比较级也要用more来修饰。如Heismoreofadoctor.他更像个医生。该结构也可以用
9、于同级比较结构中。如Heisasofanathleteasshe.他和她一样具备运动员的素质。二 虚拟语气1.主从句谓语动词的时态(1)掌握主从句谓语动词的规范搭配:主句从句与在事相反would/情去式+dowere(不分人称)/did与去事相反would/情去式+havedonehaddone与将来事相反 would/情去式+doshoulddo/weretodo1.WouldyouhavebeensurprisedifIhadarrivedyesterdaywithoutlettingyouknowbeforehand?(04年)与过去事实相反2.Allofuswouldhaveenjoy

11、rivingasitis.(主句与现在事实相反，从句与过去事实相反)HadPaulreceivedsixmorevotesinthelastelection,hewouldbeourchairmannow.(主句与现在事实相反，从句与过去事实相反)(3)识别事实和假设混合句：Yourmathsinstructorwouldhavebeenhappytogiveyouamake-upexaminationhadyougoneandexplainedthatyourparentswereillatthetime.(句子前半部分为假设情况，而“父母病了”是事实)Iwouldhavegonetovis

21、动词原形。如：Themadmanwasputinthesoft-paddedcelllestheinjurehimself.(5)whetheror有时谓语用be的原形，引导让步虚拟从句，这种用法经常采用倒装结构。如：Churchasweusethewordreferstoallreligiousinstitutions,betheyChristian,Islamic,Buddhist,Jewish,andsoon.Thebusinessofeachday,beitsellinggoodsorshippingthem,wentquitesmoothly.三时态语态需要掌握的要点：1.表达将来时
22、的形式：(1)在时间、条件、让步从句中，一般现在时代替将来时，但要注意区别从句的类型，如：Illtellhimwhenyouwillringagain.我告诉他你什么时候再来电话。(宾语从句)比较：Illtellhimwhenyouringagain.你再打电话时我告诉他。(状语从句)(2)在makesure,makecertain,see(toit)后的that从句中，谓语动词用一般现在时代替将来时，如：Seetoitthatyouincludeinthepaperwhateverquestionstheydidntknowtheanswertolasttime.(include不能用wil

26、han,hardly/scarcelywhen句型中，主句常用过去完成时。3.完成进行时指动作在完成时的基础上还要继续下去。如：Thecompanyhasbeenpromisingariseinsalaryforages,butnothinghashappened.真题举例：1.Jackhasbeenmissingfromhomefortwodaysnow,andIambeginningtoworryabouthissafety.(03,42)2.Forsometimenow,worldleaderhavebeenpointingoutthenecessityforagreementonarm
27、sreduction.(02,43)时态语态答题思路 (1)先根据选项的区别点确定考题要点为时态，然后回到题句中寻找给出的或暗示的时间状语，缩小选择范围，进而选出正确答案； (2)根据谓语动词与句子主语或非谓语动词与其逻辑主语的关系，确定句子是主动语态还是被动语态。有关于时态的历年真题：1.Lindawastohavestartedtheexperimentamonthago,butshechangedhermindatthelastminute.(07,55)【将来完成时】2.Jameshasjustarrived,butIdidntknowhewascominguntilyesterday
