Learning About Language 释疑导思

I. determine

v. 确定，决定

He determined to learn French next term.

他决定下学期学法语。

She determined that she would never see him again.

她决心再也不要见他。

They determined the title of the novel.

他们确定了这部小说的书名。

What determined her to become a scientist?

是什么使她立志成为一名科学家？

I determined on an early start.

我决定早点出发。

determined

adj. 下定决心的:

She is determined to go. 她下定决心要去。

辨析

be determined to do 表示下定决心做某事

determine to do = decide to do 表示决定做某事，不强调强烈的决心。

辨析下列句子：

We determined to start early.

我们决定提早出发。

We are determined to prove our friend’s innocence.

我们下定决心为朋友洗清罪名。

II. as if 的用法

一、as if 从句的作用

1．在look, seem 等系动词后引导表语从句。如：

She looks as if she were ten years younger．

她看起来好像年轻了十岁。

It seems as if our team is going to win．

看来我们队要胜了。

2．引导方式状语从句。如：

She loves the boy as if she were his mother．

她爱这男孩，就好像她是他的母亲一样。

The child talked to us as if he were a grown up．

那孩子跟我们谈起话来，像个成年人似的。

二、as if 还可用于省略句中

如果as if 引导的从句是“主语＋系动词”结构，可省略主语和系动词，这样as if 后就只剩下名词、不定式、形容词（短语）、介词短语或分词。如：

He acts as if （he was）

a fool．

他做事像个傻子。

Tom raised his hands as if （he was going）

to say something．

汤姆举起手好像要说什么。

She left the room hurriedly as if （she was）angry．

她匆忙离开房间好像生气的样子。

三、as if 从句的语气及时态

1．

as if 从句用陈述语气的情况。

当说话者认为句子所述的是真实的或极有可能发生或存在的事实时。如：

It sounds as if it is raining．

听起来像是在下雨。

He talks as if he is drunk．

从他谈话的样子来看他是醉了。

2．

as if 从句用虚拟语气的情况。

当说话人认为句子所述的是不真实的或极少有可能发生或存在的情况时。从句虚拟语气动词时态的形式如下：

（1）如果从句表示与现在事实相反，谓语动词用一般过去时。如：

You look as if you didn’t care．

你看上去好像并不在乎。

He talks as if he knew where she was．

他说话的样子，好像他知道她在哪里似的。

（2）从句表示与过去事实相反，谓语动词用“had＋过去分词”。如：

He talks about Rome as if he had been there before．

他说起罗马来好像他以前去过罗马似的。

The girl listened as if she had been turned to stone．

那女孩倾听着，一动也不动，像已经变成了石头似的。

（3）从句表示与将来事实相反，谓语动词用“would／could／might＋动词原形”。如：

He opened his mouth as if he would say something．

他张开嘴好像要说什么。

It looks as if it might snow．

看来好像要下雪了。

典例剖析

1. I have nothing to confess. ____ you want me to say?

A. What is it that

B. What it is what

C. How is it that

D. How it is that 【分析】此题实际上考查的也是强调句型的特殊疑问句形式，强调的是疑问词what。而答案B不是疑问语序。故选A。

2. Is this factory _____ you visited the other day？

A. the one

B. that

C. where

D. when 【分析】本题可以改为：This factory is _____ you visited the other day. 句中is 后面无表语，后面定语从句也没有先行词，故填入既做表语又做先行词的the one。所以答案为A。

3.

Was it _____ she heard with her ears _____ really made her frightened？

A. what；that

B. it；that

C. that；which

D. what；／

【分析】此题考查的是强调句型中又包含主语从句的情况。What she heard wither ears是由what引导的主语从句。第二空中的that则为强调句型中的that。故答案为A。
