利用 and 巧解题
and 是并列连词,它既能连接两个并列的结构,也能连接两个并列的分句。我们可以通过分析它在句子结构中的功能,从而巧妙地解题。
一、 and 连接两个或两个以上的并列结构。由 and 所连接的两个并列结构在形式上要一致。例如:
( 1 ) We rushed back to the palace and looked for it.
( 2 ) Father sat at the desk and wrote something.
( 3 ) I had to lie to the company and pretend to be a man.
句( 1 )可转换成不定式作目的状语: We rushed back to the palace to look for it.
句( 2 )可转换成现在分词作伴随状语: Father sat at the desk writing something.
句( 3 )中 and 连接两个不定式,后一个不定式 to 要省略。
例 1 : The goat rolled over and_______
A. died B. dead
C. dying D. death
分析:选 A . and 连接两个并列谓语;若将 and 改为逗号,则选 B ,形容词 dead 作主语的补足语。
例 2 : He called at every door and people ______ the exciting news.
A. tell B. telling
C. told D. having told
分析:选 C . called 和 told 为并列谓语;若将 and 改为逗号,则选 B ,现在分词作伴随状语;若既无 and 也无逗号,则用不定式 to tell 作目的状语。
例 3 : She went to the market, ______ everything she needed and took a taxi home.
A. buy B. bought
C. buying D. to buy
分析:选 B .这是三个并列谓语,前两个用逗号隔开,最后一个用 and 连接,即 went … ,bought … and took …在不同的语境中,也可用其他并列连词,如 or, but 等。
二、 and 连接并列分句。这种并列句可转换成简单句或从句。
1. 并列句和简单句、状语从句的转换。例如:
Use your head and you will find a way.
此句可转换为简单句: Using your head, you will find a way.
还可转换为 if 引导的状语从句: If you use your head, you will find a way.
例 1 : _____ and they bought a picnic with them.
A. It being a fine day
B. Being a fine day
C. It is a fine day
D. It was a fine day
分析:选 D .这是由 and 连接的两个并列分句,其时态要保持一致;若将 and 改为逗号,则选 A ,是独立主格结构。此句还可转换为状语从句: As it was a fine day, they bought a picnic with them.
2. 并列句和定语从句的转换。例如:
They are hollow and this makes them very light.
此句可转换为 which 引导的非限制性定语从句: They are hollow, which makes them very light.
例 2 : She heard a terrible noise and brought her heart into her mouth.
A. which B. it
C. / D. what
分析:选 B .这是由 and 连接的两个并列分句,后一分句的主语应用 it ;若将 and 改为逗号,则选 A ,是 which 引导的非限制性定语从句。
例 3 : She had two sons and _______ were doctors.
A. all of them
B. all of whom
C. both of them
D. both of whom
分析:选 C .这也是由 and 连接的两个并列分句, both of them 为后一个分句的主语;若将 and 改为逗号,则选 D ,是 both of whom 引导的定语从句。
试判断下列句子的正误:
1. The weather turned out to be very good, it was more than we could expect.
2. Spring comes, leaves turn green.
3. Keep on trying, you'll succeed.
