托福獨(dú)立寫作考查的是考生對(duì)詞匯的運(yùn)用,相信很多考生都出現(xiàn)過類似的情況吧,在寫作時(shí)明明很簡(jiǎn)單的詞匯卻出錯(cuò)了,所以為了避免大家出錯(cuò),在這里簡(jiǎn)單的整理了一些常用而且還容易出錯(cuò)的詞匯。
托福獨(dú)立寫作詞匯錯(cuò)誤:主謂一致
我們來(lái)看以下句子:
Admittedly, books written on the basis of realities is valuable to most people.
A less complicated social environment is the most agreeable condition that help maintain the simplicity of children’s mental world.
第一句句子的主語(yǔ)是books,因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式are而不是is,這就是“主謂一致”,即:謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞在單復(fù)數(shù)形式上要和主語(yǔ)保持一致。因此原句的正確表達(dá)為:Admittedly, books written on the basis of realities are valuable to most people.
第二句句子的主語(yǔ)是a less complicated social environment,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用單數(shù)形式helps. 因此,原句的正確表達(dá)為:A less complicated social environment is the most agreeable condition that helps maintain the simplicity of children’s mental world.
我們?cè)賮?lái)看以下句子:
The number of students who walk to school has been significantly increased.
A large number of advertisers are filling commercials with appealing visual effects so as to spark consumers’ desires to buy such targeted products.
在托福獨(dú)立寫作中the number of和a large number of是考生經(jīng)常使用的兩個(gè)短語(yǔ),前者表示“…的數(shù)量”,后者表示“大量的”。第一句句子中的主語(yǔ)是the number of students,“學(xué)生的數(shù)量”是單數(shù)的,所以謂語(yǔ)應(yīng)該使用單數(shù)形式has,而不是have。 又如There has been a sharp increase in the number of Internet users since last year. 第二句句子中的主語(yǔ)是a large number of advertisers,“大量的廣告商”是復(fù)數(shù)的,所以謂語(yǔ)應(yīng)該使用復(fù)數(shù)形式are,而不是is.
托福獨(dú)立寫作詞匯錯(cuò)誤:謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的表現(xiàn)形式
我們來(lái)看以下句子:
Most students like to watch TV cannot finish their homework in time.
Children who find passion in sports holding on to this passion throughout life, which leads to a healthier and more successful future.
第一句句子中l(wèi)ike to watch TV和cannot finish their homework in time都是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,一般而言兩個(gè)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞需要用連詞(如and或but)進(jìn)行連接,或者可以將like to watch TV變?yōu)閺木?,如:Most students who like to watch TV cannot finish their homework in time(定語(yǔ)從句).
第二句句子沒有謂語(yǔ)。句子中who find passion in sports是修飾children的“定語(yǔ)從句”,which leads to a healthier and more successful future是以which為引導(dǎo)的“非限定性定語(yǔ)從句”。整句句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該是hold,而不應(yīng)該使用非謂語(yǔ)形式(holding)。在托福獨(dú)立寫作中,尤其要注意there be句型中“謂語(yǔ)的表現(xiàn)形式”
There are a great variety of articles and topics accurately reflect the diversity of users’ interest.
因?yàn)閠here be句型中的be本身就是謂語(yǔ)成分,所以不能使用reflect,而應(yīng)改為:There are a great variety of articles and topics that accurately reflect the diversity of users’ interest(定語(yǔ)從句);或There are a great variety of articles and topics accurately reflecting the diversity of users’ interest(非謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu))。
托福獨(dú)立寫作詞匯錯(cuò)誤:謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的語(yǔ)態(tài)
“語(yǔ)態(tài)”表現(xiàn)的是主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)之間的關(guān)系,托福獨(dú)立寫作中主要使用“主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)”,不建議頻繁使用“被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)”。
我們來(lái)看以下句子:
Many children can avoid their most disliked courses if they are given the opportunity to choose.
Because the content of an e-book is delivered electronically to their devices, students can shop for e-books and receive them almost immediately, any time of the day or night.
第一句句子中“避免最不喜歡的課程”動(dòng)作的發(fā)出者是“孩子們”,因此是“主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)”;而他們“被”提供機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)行選擇是“被動(dòng)”的。第二句句子中“電子書的內(nèi)容”和“將電子版本傳輸?shù)綄W(xué)生的設(shè)備之中”是“被動(dòng)”的關(guān)系,而學(xué)生“購(gòu)買電子圖書”和“不管白天還是黑夜,可以第一時(shí)間收到這些圖書”都是“主動(dòng)”的關(guān)系。 |
