英语语法测试,从多项选题变为填空题使得语法测试更趋合理。语法填空题有两种基本形式,一是给词填空,二是缺词填空。给词填空题,一般是给有形态变化的词填空,英语单词的形态变化有两种,一是构成变化,如名词fame变成形容词famous,另一种是改变词的语法含义,如把write变成过去分词written。对于给词填空题,我们只要根据具体语言环境,考虑以上两种形态变化就可以了。
缺词填空是大多数人感觉比较难的题,大家对这种题感到迷茫,不知道该填一什么样的词为好。其实,缺词填空题大多是考查介词,冠词,连接词和一些语法结构词,因为这些词往往没有形态的变化。
汉语中没有冠词,所以从句意上很难发现填什么样的词,所以我们不能光从句子意思上考虑问题,还应从句子结构上来考虑。如果所设的空位于名词或名词短语前,我们应想到是否缺少冠词,如果是缺少冠词的话,再根据冠词的具体用法去补上;如果所设的空位于名词或名词短语前,且不缺少冠词,这时我们要看空后面的名词是否在句子中充当某个语法成分,如果找不到名词或名词短语在句子中的相应成分,一般所设的空是考查介词,后面的名词或名词短语做要填的介词的宾语。
连接词牵涉的是复合句,英语复合句是以五种基本句型为基础的,按五种基本句型算,含有两个或两个以上单句的句子为复合句。复合句之间要有连接词连接,由两个单句组成的复合句用一个连接词,由三个单句组成的复合句用两个连接词,以此类推。对转接词的考查,如果是并列复合句,我们可以根据句间的逻辑关系来填,比如因果关系,并列关系,转折关系等,如是从属复合句中的定语从句和名词性从句,我们还得分析从句的句子结构,因为连接词可以在从句中充当句子成分。
语法功能词主要用在一些特殊的句型中,比如部分倒装要用到的助动词词或情态动词,强调句型中的it和that,还有it做形式主语或形式宾语。
