英语中的并列连词不多，常见的只有and, or, but, yet等，并且其用法也不复杂，在高考英语中直接考查并列连词用法的考题比较少见。但是，这并不意味着你就可对并列连词“置之不理”，因为命题者虽然不会直接考查并列连词的用法，但他们却经常把并列连词作为一种设计陷阱题的工具，把一些本来很容易的考点设计成难题，甚至陷阱题。本文拟就如何巧借并列连词破解非谓语动词难题或陷阱题作一分析。 一、借并列连词识别平行结构 根据英语语法习惯，用并列连词连接的两个语法成分通常应是平行的、对等的。若并列连词连接的是两个非谓语动词，原则上说它们应是同一形式——同为不定式，或同为-ing分词，或同为-ed分词。如： Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit. 早睡早起是一个好习惯。 Shops were open, especially places which sold things to eat and to drink. 店铺都开着，尤其是卖饮食的店铺。 To mean to do something and to do something actually are two different things. 打算做一件事和实际上做一件事完全是两回事。 有些用than连接的非谓语动词也往往需要一致的形式。如： Friendship is like money: easier made than kept. 友谊像金钱——挣来容易维持难。 “Why don’t you get yourself a job?” “That’s easier said than done.” “你怎么不找个工作呢?”“说起来容易，找起来难哪!” 请看一道高考题： It is worth considering what makes “convenience” foods so popular, and _________ better ones of your own. (北京卷) A. introduces B. to introduce C. introducing D. introduced 此题答案为C。句中的并列连词and连接的是两个对称的并列成分，由于其前的considering…为动名词，所以空格处也要用动名词。 请再看两道相关的考题： 1. The purpose of the scheme is not to help the employers but _________ work for young people. A. provide B. to provide C. providing D. provided 答案为B。not…but连接两个不定式作表语，所以选B。句意为：这个计划的目的不是为了帮助雇主，而是为了给年轻人提供工作机会。 2. The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier, _________ it more difficult. (zn) A. not make B. not to make C. not making D. do not make 答案为B。空格处填不定式是为了与前面的to make life easier保持一致。句意为：新技术的目的是为了使生活变得更容易，而不是为了使生活变得更困难。 3. Fishing is his favorite hobby, and _________. (上海卷) A. he’d like to collect coins as well B. he feels like collecting coins, too C. to collect coins is also his hobby D. collecting coins also gives him great pleasure 答案为D。并列连词and连接两个结构平行的句子构成一个并列句，比较前后两个句子结构，显然只有D最合适。 (责任编辑：admin) |
