2.惯用搭配类型
该类题目主要测试考生对惯用词组及固定搭配的掌握情况。
(1)固定词组:如,call off;put off;give up…
例题1:All that①,until the last decade,scientists believed that the human brain and its connections were formed during gestation and infancy and remained②unchanged through childhood.
①A.has been said B.being said
C.was said D.is said
②A.more or less B.pretty much
C.as ever D.if any(https://www.daowen.com)
【分析】①答案为B。本题考查非谓语动词和习惯说法。该句的主谓结构为scientists believed…,因此all that后的谓语动词应该相应变成非谓语结构。综观四个选项,只有B符合要求。all that being said是独立主格结构充当状语,是习惯用法,意思是“综上所述”。
②答案为C。more or less“或多或少”,pretty much“十分,非常”,as ever“和以往一样”,if any“即使有的话也⋯⋯”。该句的下文说,科学家们认为一旦人脑成型,神经元便会保持稳定,一如既往地维持不变,因此as ever是正确答案。
(2)介词的搭配:介词与名词、介词与形容词及介词与不及物动词的搭配和用法。
例题2:According to the World Health Organization,nearly three-fifths of the people who contracted H5N1 since 2003 died from the virus,which was first reported______humans in Hong Kong in 1997 before a more serious outbreak occurred in Southeast Asia between 2003 and 2004.(2017年全国医学博士统考)
A.at B.with C.in D.on
【分析】答案为C。be reported的意思是“被报道”,后面常常跟两种介词搭配:on后接报道的主题,in后接被报道事件的范围。该句大意为:自从2003年以来,近五分之三感染H5N1的人都死于该病毒感染,香港在1997年报道了首例人感染该病毒(which)⋯⋯由此可知,这是报道时间发生的范围,因此介词用in。
(3)动词与名词之间的动宾搭配、名词与形容词的搭配等:如,hold/throw a party, take advantage of sth./make use of sth.(利用⋯⋯);heavy rain/strong wind…
