賓語從句是中考??嫉恼Z法項(xiàng)目之一。如何才能正確、快捷地解答出含賓語從句的試題呢?筆者認(rèn)為可從以下幾個(gè)方面考慮。
一、 考慮連詞的選擇。賓語從句由連詞、連接代詞或連接副詞引導(dǎo)。若賓語從句僅僅是主句謂語動(dòng)詞表述的事實(shí)、事態(tài)或現(xiàn)象,則需要選用從屬連詞that引導(dǎo)賓語從句。若主句謂語動(dòng)詞含有“疑惑”、“不知道”或“疑問”等諸多意義,則需要選用從屬連詞whether/if(是否)、連接代詞what, who, whose, which或連接副詞where, when, how, why引導(dǎo)賓語從句。請(qǐng)看試題:
1. (2007年重慶市) Theres a red car parking in our neighborhood. Do you know_______it is?
A. what B. who
C. whose D. whom
2. (2007年安徽?。?Mrs Brown couldnt find her purse. She didnt remember_______.
A. whose it was B. where it was
C. what it was D. when it was
[解題思路] 試題1后一句中含一個(gè)賓語從句,問的是前一句中紅色轎車的歸屬。再看所給的選項(xiàng)中,只有連接代詞whose符合句意,所以正確答案為C。
試題2是說“布朗太太找不到錢包”,她記不起來的當(dāng)然是“錢包放在哪里”,所以remember后面應(yīng)選表示地點(diǎn)的連接副詞where符合賓語從句,故正確答案為B。
二、 考慮賓語從句的語序。不管賓語從句是否含疑問意義,都必須用陳述語序,即句子的主語和謂語不能倒裝。請(qǐng)看試題:
1. (2007年南京市) I dont know_______.
A. where does he come from B. what is his name
C. how old he is D. when will he leave
2. (2007年臺(tái)州市) —Could you tell me_______, dear?
—She called to borrow my VCDs.
A. why Mary called you B. why did Mary call you
C. when Mary called you D. when did Mary called you
[解題思路] 在試題1中,四個(gè)選項(xiàng)看似都可選,但一考慮語序,只有選項(xiàng)C是主語在前,謂語在后,所以正確答案是C。
試題2中,答話人說瑪麗打電話是想借VCDs。 由此可知,問話人是問瑪麗打電話的原因,即為什么打電話給“你”,所以空白處應(yīng)用連接副詞why引導(dǎo)賓語從句,這樣就可排除C、D兩項(xiàng)。再從語序判斷,可排除B項(xiàng),故正確答案是A。
三、 考慮主句和賓語從句中謂語動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。賓語從句謂語動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)與主句謂語動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)密切相關(guān)。當(dāng)主句的謂語動(dòng)詞是現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)時(shí),從句的謂語動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)根據(jù)從句中謂語動(dòng)詞動(dòng)作發(fā)生的時(shí)間去定。主句的謂語動(dòng)詞是一般過去時(shí)態(tài)時(shí),從句謂語動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)根據(jù)其動(dòng)作發(fā)生的時(shí)間,用某種過去時(shí)態(tài)。若從句表達(dá)的是普遍真理,則從句謂語動(dòng)詞就必須用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。請(qǐng)看試題:
1. (2007年北京市) —Do you know_______now?
—In the Peoples Hall.
A. where is Tom working B. where did Tom work
C. where Tom is working D. where Tom worked
2. (2007年福州市) —Did Mr White tell you_______?
—Yes. He said he went there in 2003.
A. when he traveled to Tibet B. how he goes to Wuhan
C. where he spent his holiday D. why did he visit Kunming
[解題思路] 試題1的主句謂語動(dòng)詞是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。從答話人回答“在人民大會(huì)堂”可知,問話人問的是湯姆現(xiàn)在工作的地點(diǎn),據(jù)此我們可排除B、D兩項(xiàng)。再從A和C兩項(xiàng)的語序判斷,正確答案為C。
試題2中,主句的謂語動(dòng)詞是一般過去時(shí),所以賓語從句的謂語動(dòng)詞必定是過去時(shí)態(tài),由此可排除選項(xiàng)B。 再從語序考慮,可排除選項(xiàng)D。 由題干中的答語“懷特先生說他2003年去的西藏”我們可知,問話人問的是懷特先生去西藏的時(shí)間,而不是地點(diǎn),所以正確答案為A。
