1. just because they make more money than i dothey seem to look down on me.
a. so b. and c. but d. 不填。
分析】此题正确答案为d，但容易误选a，将汉语的“因为……所以……”直译为 because … so …，但是按英语语法，because 为从属连词，用以引导原因状语从句，它表明整个句子为复合句；而 so 在表示“所以”时，它是并列连词，用以连接两个简单句使之成为并列句。由于在同一句中既用了从属连词 because，又用了并列连词 so，使得该句一半像复合句，一半像并列句，从而导致错误。正确的做法是，任意去掉 because 和 so 中的一个，使之要么成为复合句，要么成为并列句。
2. if i’m mistakenyou are mistaken too.
a. so b. and c. or d. 不填。
空格前 if 引导的是一个条件状语从句，它暗示整个句子为复合句；而so, and, or 为并列连词，无论选哪一个，都表明整个句子为并列句，从而导致前后矛盾，所以a、b、c均不能选择。此题正确答案选d，you are mistaken too 为主句。又如：
1) if wishes were horsesbeggars would ride.
a. and b. so c. or d. 不填。
2) when the last prize had been awardedeverybody cleared off.
a. and b. so c. or d. 不填。
3) just before i left londoni sent him a telegram.
a. and b. so c. or d. 不填。
4) after they had each said a few wordslloyd george took the floor.
a. and b. so c. or d. 不填。
答案均选d，空格前分别为 if, when, before, after 引导的状语从句，空格后为句子主句。
3. finding her car stolen
a. a policeman was asked to help
b. the area was searched thoroughly
c. it was looked for everywhere
d. she hurried to a policeman for help
分析】此题最佳答案选d，因为句首用作状语的现在分词短语finding her car stolen 的逻辑主语应是“她”，而不是 a policeman, the area, it 等，按照英语语法，在通常情况下，非谓语动词用作状语时，它的逻辑主语应与句子主语保持一致，所以最佳答案为d。请再看类例：
1) to master a foreign language
a. the school needs a foreign teacher
b. a good teacher is needed
c. a lot of practice is needed
d. one must h**e a lot of practice
分析】此题答案选d，因为 to master a foreign language 的逻辑主语应是 one，而不是其他(
2many times, he still didn’t understand it.
a. h**ing been told b. though to be told
c. h**ing told d. he was told
分析】此题答案选a，因为根据句意，he 与 tell 应是被动关系；另外，从时间上看，应该是“被告诉”在先，“没有理解”在后，故要用 h**ing been told 这一现在分词的完成被动式。注意不能选d，因为 he was told 与 he still didn’t understand it 这两个简单句之间缺乏必要的衔接关系。
3many times, but he still didn’t understand it.
a. h**ing been told b. though he was told
c. to h**e been told d. he was told
分析】此题答案选d，句中的并列连词 but 表明整个句子为并列句，同时表明 but 前应是一个独立的句子，而不能是一个非谓语动词短语(所以不能选a或c)，又因为 though 为从属连词，用以引导让步状语从句，它与连接并列句的并列连词 but 不“兼容”，所以也不能选b(
4. he lookedfunny that we couldn’t help laughing.
a. very b. much d. rather d. so
答案选d，请注意其后的 that，该句使用的是 so … that …句式，句意为“他看上去很滑稽，我们都禁不住笑了”。从语法角度讲，英语中的“very＋形容词或副词”结构通常不能用来引出结果状语，所以 so ..that-clause (如此……以致于)、so ..
as to do sth (如此……以至于做某事)、too ..to do sth (太……以致于不能做某事)、enough to do sth (足够的……可以做某事)等结构中的 so, too, enough 等词均不能用副词 very 来代替。比较：
他气得连话都说不出话。
正：he was so angry as to be unable to speak.
正：he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
正：he was too angry to speak.
误：he was very angry as to be unable to speak.
误：he was very angry that he couldn't speak.
误：he was very angry to speak.
再请做下面一题(
marsha got so carried away when arguing with her husbandshe hit him.
a. since b. and c. until d. that
答案选d，属 so…that… 句式。全句意为“玛莎与她丈夫争吵过于激烈，以致动手打了他”。其中的 carry away 意为“使兴奋”、“使忘其所以”，通常用于被动语态，句中的 got carried away 可视为系表结构。
