托福考试改错题常考要点及例题分析(下)

八、词序的颠倒
词序的颠倒一般只考一道,90%的情况集中于下面三个出题方向

(一) 先说形容词,再说名词
例:The Medal of Honor is the highest award military for courage
              A    B       
  that can be given to any individual in the United States.
      C       D   
分析:B错,军事的荣誉是military award而不是award military,单个形容词修饰名词时一般放在被修饰词的前面。

(二) 副词+形容词+名词
例:Certain types of computers work properly only
          A      B    
  in environments with controlled precisely temperatures.
    C         D
分析:D错,应改为precisely controlled,精确的被控制的温度。controlled为过去分词用作形容词,修饰它的副词应放在其前面,它自己则要紧挨着被修饰的名词。

(三)主语系动词, 系动词 + 表语
例:During the 1600's skilled shoemakers scarce were
          A   B     C  
  in what is now the United States.
    D
分析:C错,应改为were scarce。表语应该放在系动词后面。
所有的系动词分为三大类:
第一种:表示保持某种状态,
    is, remain, keep, stay,
    lie, exit(表示位于)
第二种,从一种状态转变到另一种状态
    become, turn, grow,
    get (It is getting warmer and warmer)
第三种,感官动词
    seem(好像是)
    look(看起来好像是)
    feel, sound, appear, smell, taste
enough修饰形容词或副词时,一般放在形容词或副词后面。
例: The eruptions of Mt. St. Helens were enough severe
    A               B    
   to cause numerous deaths.
        C   D 
分析:B错,应改为sever enough。severe是形容词, enough放在severe后面。
