2014考研英语:语法难点解析之名词性从句在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词性从句。名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组, 它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语、介词宾语等,因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能,名词性从句又可分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。 在翻译的时候,主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句一般可以按照英语原文顺序来翻译。同位语从句有以下五种翻译方法:① 可以直接翻译在所修饰词后面。② 放在所修饰的名词前面,充当定语。③ 译成独立句子:先翻译主句,然后用“就是……”或者“即……”引导出同位语从句,或者把同位语从句译成独立的句子,由冒号或破折号引出。④ 用代词指代:先把同位语从句中的内容考研辅导班翻译出来,在后面用“这”或“那”等代词复指它,参加句子主体的构成。⑤ 译成宾语:把同位语从句修饰的名词转译成动词,而把同位语从句译成宾语。【真题例句1】Whatis harder to establish is whether the productivity revolution that businessmenassume they are presiding over is for real.【解析】句子可拆分为:What is harder to establish is//whether the productivity revolution //that businessmen assume //they arepresiding over// is for real.主句为What is harder to establish is whether theproductivity revolution is for real。主句包含两个从句成分:从句what is harder to establish作主语;whether theproductivity revolution is for real作表语;that they arepresiding over为定语从句修饰the productivity revolution; 此定语从句中businessmen assume为主谓结构的插入语。以what, whatever,whoever, whether, when, where, how, why等词引导的主语从句及表语从句在翻译的时候,一般可以按照英语原文顺序来翻译。【参考译文】难以确定的是,商界人士认为他们所主考研辅导导的生产力革命是否真的存在。【真题例句2】It has also beenproposed that just because we know so much about people intuitively, there hasbeen less incentive for studying them scientifically: why should one develop atheory, carry out systematic observations, or make predictions about theobvious?【解析】该句可拆分为:It has also been proposed that //just because we know so much aboutpeople intuitively, // there has been less incentive //for studying themscientifically: //why should one develop a theory, //carry out systematicobservations, //or make predictions about the obvious?主句为:It has also been proposed。That…for studyingthem scientifically是主语从句,形式主语it的真主语。because we know so much about people intuitively是这个主语从句中嵌套的原因状语从句。冒号后面是一个简单句,对前面内容起解释说明作用。has been proposed, has been这个动词不好排除,但是如果你发现后面连词that后又有一个连词because, 说明that引导一个从句,而这个because引导的应是这个从句的原因状语从句,很自然它后面需要有主句。所以这个动词只是从句中主句的谓语动词,并不是整个句子的谓语动词。develop, carry out, make在冒号后面句子中海文钻石卡,不能成为主句谓语动词。由此确定主句谓语动词为has been proposed。It is +过去分词+that从句开头的主语从句一般按顺序译出。【参考译文】还有解释说,正是由于我们对人的直觉了解太多,所以我们没有科学地研究这些直觉的动力:对于显而易见之事,人们为什么要建立一种理论、进行系统的观察或是作一些预言呢?

一、细节题
【解题方法】题干+选项精确定位法
【解题步骤】
1. 找题干关键词,精确定位到文章(题干的关键词一般会定位到文章的某句或者相连的两句中)
2. 将所选答案精确定位到文章
【例题】2012年Text1
22. Rosenberg holds that public-health advocates should _________.
[A] recruit professional advertisers
[B] learn from advertisers' experience
[C] stay away from commercial advertisers
[D] recognize the limitations of advertisements
The idea seems promising,and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer. Her critique of the lameness of many public-health campaigns is spot-on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits, and they demonstrate a seriously flawed understanding of psychology. "Dare to be different, please don't smoke!" pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers-teenagers, who desire nothing more than fitting in. Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.
【解题步骤应用】
1 题干定位:段落的最后一句
Rosenberg--- Rosenberg
holds---argues
that---that
public-health advocates--- public-health advocates
should---ought to
因此,答案定位在take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.
2 选项定位
答案[B] learn from advertisers' experience
learn from---take a page from 表"学习"。
experience---skilled 表示"有经验的,很娴熟的"。
二、推断题
【解题方法】找段落中心句
寻找段落中心句方法:
第一、逻辑上出现转承关系的句子(转折、因果、递进,即有therefore, thus, but, however, in short, all in all 等提示词的句子);
第二、有明确表示观点的路标指引词(think, believe, deny, acknowledge, insist, according to, claim…)
第三、含有情态动词的句子(should, must…)
第四、含有特殊标点的句子(冒号、破折号、引号、括号)
第五、特殊句型(疑问句、倒装句、强调句、省略句)
第六、平铺直叙段落中,注意首末句
【解题步骤】
1. 根据题干,寻找该段落中心句,
2. 正确答案即段落中心句的同义改写
【例题】2009年Text4
37. It is suggested in paragraph 2 that New Englanders________.
[A] experienced a comparatively peaceful early history
[B] brought with them the culture of the Old World
[C] paid little attention to southern intellectual life
[D] were obsessed with religious innovations
To take this approach to the New Englanders normally means to start with the Puritans' theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture, adjusting to New World circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity.
【解题步骤应用】
1. 寻找段落中心句(转折处)
But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture, adjusting to New World circumstances.
2. 正确答案即段落中心句的同义改写
答案[B] brought with them the culture of the Old World
New Englanders--- the original Puritans
brought with ---carriers
them---the original puritans
the culture---culture
old world---European
三、态度题
【解题方法】作者态度分类法
1. 在判断感情色彩时,应结合以下两点。
1)作者态度可以分为三大类:a. 正向态度:支持,乐观,赞同; b. 客观、中立、公正;c. 负向态度:反对、批评、怀疑
2)特别注意作者的态度一般与文章中心相联系。不要把自己的态度纳入其中,而且要注意区分作者的态度和作者引用别人的态度。
2. 匹配选项。匹配选项时应该注意:
1)有些选项一定不是正确答案(永陪选项):indifferent(漠不关心);subjective(主观的);biased(有偏见的);puzzled(迷惑不解的)。
2)一般带有绝对化或者过于强烈的语气的选项必然是错误的,如:strongly;completely;entirely。
3. 态度题的新趋势:
1)现在题目的考察不仅仅局限于作者的态度,也开始考察文章中某人的观点和态度,做题时特别应该注意看清楚题目考察的是谁对谁的态度。
2)选项可能不在是态度明确的肯定或者否定的词,而是改为带有程度限制的词语,带有如下词语的选项往往是正确的:guarded慎重的,qualified有条件的,tempered缓和的,因为带有保留态度的观点比较客观,一般带有绝对化或者过于强烈的语气的选项必然是错误的,如:strongly completely entirely
【解题步骤】
1.判断选项ABCD的态度正负向,将四个选项进行分类(正向,负向)
2.根据关键词,回文定位判断态度。
【例题】2015年Text 2
They should start by discarding California's lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone - a vast storehouse of digital information - is similar to, say, rifling through a suspect's purse. The court has ruled that police don't violate the Fourth Amendment when they sift through the wallet or pocketbook of an arrestee without a warrant.
27. The author's attitude toward California's argument is one of
[A] disapproval.
[B] indifference.
[C] tolerance.
[D] cautiousness.
【解题步骤应用】
1 判断选项态度的正负向
[A] disapproval反对的(负)
[B] indifference漠不关心的(中立)
[C] tolerance包容(正)
[D] cautiousness谨慎的(正)
2 回文判断态度
They should start by discarding California's lame argument
因此,根据文章的discarding,可以确定是表示负向否定态度,因此答案选A。
四、主旨题
【解题方法】1串线法 2主题词复现法 3框架法
【解题步骤】
1. 找出段落中心句或者主题词
2. 串联各段段落中心句,合并同类项,即可得出全文主旨
【例题】2008年Text 1
25. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
[A] Strain of Stress: No Way Out?
[B] Responses to Stress: Gender Difference
[C] Stress Analysis: What Chemicals Say?
[D] Gender Inequality: Women Under Stress
While still catching up to men in some spheres of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category. "Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men," according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York's Veteran's Administration Hospital.
Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.
Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased "opportunities" for stress. "It's not necessarily that women don't cope as well. It's just that they have so much more to cope with," says Dr. Yehuda. "Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men's," she observes, "it's just that they're dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner."
Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. "I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating."
Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college. "I struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape, to go to school, and get ahead and do better." Later, her marriage ended and she became a single mother. "It's the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck."
Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes. But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarez's experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.

【真题回放2000-Text5】
Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and its signs now than formerly. Summer homes, European travel, BMWs — the locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago. What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools. For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, the proper formulation is, “Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious.”
69. Some people do not openly admit they have ambition because ________.
[A] they think of it as immoral
[B] their pursuits are not fame or wealth
[C] ambition is not closely related to material benefits
[D] they do not want to appear greedy and contemptible
(2)冒号:其解释说明或者高度概括。

① It never rains but it pours. ② Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them – especially in America – the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. ③ Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss's agenda in businesses of every variety.
36. The statement “It never rains but it pours” is used to introduce
[A] the fierce business competition.
[B] the feeble boss-board relations.
[C] the threat from news reports.
[D] the severity of data leakage.
(3)括号:其解释说明作用。

① Anyway, the townsfolk can't understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. (②The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row.③ Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year they'll do better.)④ The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.
29. According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because ________.
[A] ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending
[B] the company is financially ill-managed
[C] the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable

考研英语中代词的译法 中文中善用名词或省略,英文中常常用代词指代,因此在翻译中代词翻译的技巧在于灵活地还原出代词在文中指代的意义。这里通过真题例句,重点讲解考研中常考的四类代词的译法。 (一)人称代词及物主代词的指代 【真题例句】 Additional social stress may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements--themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport. 【解析】 从结构来看,该句because of 的后边接两个名词短语the population explosion和problems arising from mass migration movements--themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport来表示原因。其中,第二个名词短语又含有一个短语themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport,来补充说明mass migration movements。因此,这里的代词themselves 指万学海文钻石卡代名词短语mass migration movements。 【参考译文】由于人口的猛增或大量的人口流动(现代交通工具使这种流通变得相对容易)造成的种种问题也回对社会造成新的压力。 (二)不定代词的指代 【真题例句】 While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past. 【解析】 不定代词one 指代名词短语definition of history。在这里one 和物主代词及人称代词在指代名词方面有所不同, one 指万学海文代上文出现的名词的同类名词,其中,one 表示单数,ones表示复数;而物主代词及人称代词必须指代上文中出现的名词本身,所以单复数必须一致。比如这里若要用人称代词,则必须用they/them来指代上文中复数形式的definitions of history。 【参考译文】几乎每个历史学家对史学都有自己的界定,但现代史学家的实践最趋向于认为历史学是试图重现过去的重大史实并对其作出解释。 (三)指示代词的指代 【真题例句】 Everybody has a responsibility to the society of which he is a part and through this to mankind. 【解析】 这里的this指代前面的a responsibility to the society,如果只是译成“这个”,则会造成语义不明。在to mankind之前省旅游管理考研去了Everybody has a responsibility (to)。 【参考译文】每个人都对他所属的社会负有责任,并且通过对社会负责任,而对人类负有责任。
