有关并列连词的命题在TOEEL考试中占有极重要的地位。并列连接词不仅自身是命题的焦点,它还涉及到一些其它的题型,如平行结构,词类、及一致等TOEEL考试要点。一般说来,有关并列连词的题目并不深涩,因为连接词无论在语意上还是结构功能上都并非孤立使用。而且,细察并列连词的题目,还可寻见其中的命题规律并列连词常考题型及解题要点
1.并列连词and but or混淆
解题要点这类题型主要分面布在written Expression (16-40题中)当A、B、C、D四项选择中出现单独的and或but或or时,它通常就是此题的焦点,应根据句意判断此连词是否用错。
全真例题要分析
(1) Harvesting of grains is affected by annual changes in temperature or in the amount of moisture, but both. (90.1)
[答案] D根据句意,这里并无转折关系。因此but应改为or。
(2) Porcelain is not a single clay, and a compound of kaolin. Ball clay, feldspar. And silica. (91.1)
[答案] C此句表达的是一个取舍关系,and应改为but.“not…but”是表达转折,到舍含义的固定并列连词搭配。
3. The structure or behavior of many protozoans are amazingly comples for single-celled artimals.
[答案] A根据句中复数谓语动词are来判断,连词or是错误,它表述的概含是两项之一,应用单数第三人称动词。固而or应改为and。
(4) Cayenne popper comes from the seedpot of the pepper plant which is dried or then ground.
[答案] D根据提示词then,我们可以判断dried和ground (grind的过去分词,碾碎)是顺序先后的两个动作,并非取舍选择关系。固此or应改为and。
2.并列连接词词组
both…and as…as
not only…but also not so…as
either…or the same…as
neither…nor比较级(more-re)…than
so…that to…to常与so…that
whether…or混淆搭配
解题要点;上述并列连词词组和短语必须搭配使用,不能承意更换或省略。考题中如出现上述词组的任何一部分,则注意另一部分是否正确。
