英语语法:名词所有格的三种表示办法
英语语法:名词所有格的三种表示方法
关于名词所有格的用法应注意以下三点:
一、用 -’s 表示
有生命的人或物的所有格用-’s表示,有时也可用of表示。如a man’s voice=the voice of a man。此外,还需注意以下3点:
①以-s结尾的单数普通名词后仍然加-’s。如:
The boss’s son, was arrogant to all the employees. 老板的儿子对所有雇佣人员都很傲慢无礼。
但若是以-s结尾的复数名词,其后则只加撇号。如:
This shop sells ladies’ hats. 这家商店出售女帽。
You don’t belong in the beginners’ class. 你不适合在初级班。
若是以-s结尾的专有名词,则既可只加撇号,也可加-’s。如:
Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities” is a literary classic. 狄更斯的《双城记》是一部古典文学作品。
②若是几个人共有的,在最后一个姓名后加’s。如:
This is Tom and Mike’s room. 这是汤姆和迈克共住的房间。
③表示时间、距离、金额、天体、国家或城市等的名词也用-’s表示。如:
It’s less than two hours’ drive from here. 开车到那里不到2个钟头。
We visited some of the city’s scenic spots. 我们参观了这座城市的一些风景区。
④-’s所有格后的名词若是不言而喻时,或者是某人的住所、店铺、诊所等时,通常省略。如:
We had a great evening at Paul’s. 我们在保罗家度过了一个愉快的夜晚。
She bought a bottle of vitamin tablets at the chemist’s. 她在药房买了一瓶维生素片。
二、用 of 表示
无生命的东西的所有格一般用of表示。如:
Let’s meet in the bar of the hotel. 咱们在旅馆的酒吧间碰头。
You’ll find the answers at the back of the book. 在书后你可到答案。
注:有生命的人有时也可用of构成所有格。如:
Might I ask for a photograph of the 高中学习方法 baby? 我可否要一张这宝宝的照片?
三、–’s 和 of 双重表示
当被修饰的名词前有指示代词、疑问代词、不定代词或数词等限定词时,用双重所有格。如:
Two friends of my father’s came to see me. 我父亲的两个朋友来看我
You are certain to be happy with any relative of Mrs. Moore’s. 你和穆尔夫人的任何亲属在一起肯定是会很快乐的。
高考英语不同体裁文章的阅读方法-议论文
议的阅读
议论文也就是说理性的文章,一般由论点、论据和论证过程组成。议论文都要提出论题、观点、提供充分的证据(evidence),使用一定的逻辑方法证明观点或得出结论
阅读议论文我们要抓住论题、抓住作者提出的观点、给出的例证及最后得出的结论。抓住了论题、抓住了观点,我们就把握了中心,再结合作为论据的诸多事例和理由之间以及它们和观点/结论之间的内在联系,我们就能理解文章的结构。因此,阅读议论文的关键是:抓论题、抓观点。
看看下面一篇例文:
(05 江苏卷 E段)
The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger .Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe, it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science—a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.
Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind.The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons, Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said.“The web of our life is of a mingled yarn(纱线), good and ill together. “The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said.But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?
解析:作者在第一段提出论题:The progress in science caused the changes in the twentieth century. 接下来,第二、三段作者提出论据:The progress in science has brought
us advantages and the continuation of the progress will surely result in even greater advantages.第四段作者从另一方面提出论据:The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind.再接下来,按行文结构作者应该作出结论,但作者在第五段并没有直接说出不言自明的结论(We should separate the good from the ill.),而是用了几个问句:But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war? 这样可引起读者对结论的深入思考,引起读者的重视。
