Exercise Twenty-Six
1. Man,no less than the lower forms of life,_______________(是演化過程的產物).
2. _______________(不止一個人覺察到)her agitation.
3. ________________(液體密度越大),the easier it is to float on it.
4. _______________(只有工人的要求得到滿足)will they return to work.
5. Had ________________(要不是有水庫)we'd never have been able to beat the drought.
1. is a product of the evolutionary process
解析:單數名詞+with,together with,along with,as well as,accompanied by,no less than,rather than,in addition to,instead of,including,besides等+名詞結構作主語時,謂語動詞用單數。Man在這里是個單數概念,指全人類,因此句子謂語部分要用單數is。再如:A technician,along with some young workers,is working on the design.(技術員正在和一些青年工人一道搞設計。)本題全句意為:人類,同生命的低級形式一樣,是演化過程的產物。
2. More than one person has noticed
解析:many a或more than one所修飾的名詞作主語時,謂語動詞必須用單數。所以句子需填入部分謂語譯成has,又由于"覺察到"暗示了動作已經發生,因此用完成時態。但是,考生要注意的是:如果more than one后面又出現了thousand,hundred等,動詞就要用復數,如:More than one thousand graduates have responded to the Party's call and gone to work in the border regions.(一千多名畢業生響應黨的號召,到邊疆工作去了。)
3. The denser a liquid is
解析:本題考查的是"the+adj.比較級,the+adj.比較級"的結構,表示"越......越......"。The denser在句中充當表語。當表語前置,主語和系動詞用正常語序即可。當前置的表語為形容詞詞組、介詞短語等,主語和系動詞就要倒裝。如:To north of the town was little village,where I spent my childhood in happiness.(在這個小城鎮的北邊有一個小村莊,我在那兒幸福地度過了我的童年。)
4. Only when the workers' demands are satisfied
解析:本題考查only修飾的狀語放在句首,主謂要倒裝。Will they return to work已經給出暗示。此外,only+副詞,only+介詞短語置于句首,主謂也要倒裝。如:Only with the aid of telescope can he observe the celestial bodies.(只有借助望遠鏡,他才能觀測到天體。)值得注意的是:如果句首only修飾的是主語,則不需要倒裝。如:Only Tom has been to the small island once before.(只有湯姆以前去過那個小島一次。)
5. it not been for the reservoir解析:由于句首已經給出Had,那么這里就是考查虛擬語氣省略if引起的主謂倒裝。由主句時態可知,從句情況與過去事實相反,因此用過去完成時態。另外,如果句首倒裝的條件句含有否定詞not,且had提前,一般不可使用省略式n't,而應將not置于條件句之后。本題意為:若不是有水庫,我們絕不能戰勝干旱。
