代词(四)

内 容 提 要

代词分人称代词、物主代词、反身代词、不定代词、指示代词、关系代词和连接代词，它们在句子中承担不同的功用。

指 示 代 词

一、指示代词this，that，these和those用来代替上文已提到或指示眼前的人或物，在句中可充当主语、宾语和定语。做定语的指示代词要与所修饰的词在数上一致

1) Today's libraries differ greatly from .

[A] the past [B] those of the past [C] that are past [D] those past

2) The amount of money spent on cosmetics， according to some authorities， has exceeded spent on public health.

[A] one

[B] those

[C] it

[D] that

3) The culture and customs of America are more like of England than of any other country.

[A] that

[B] what

[C] which

[D] those

例题解析

1) B为正确答案。此题中的differ from意为“不同于”，相比较的对象为“现代的图书馆”与“以往的图书馆”，故应选B ，用those代替前面提到的libraries(复数)。

2) D为正确答案。“has exceeded”“超过，超越”，空档后“spent on public health”作定语，而空档处是代词代替“The amount of monay”，这是不可数名词，所以“[A] one”和“[B] those”均不符合条件。“[C] it”也不对，it代词代“the amount of money spent on cosmetics，”那么空档后的“spent on public health”显然与“spent on cosmetics”相矛盾。所以C也不对。

3) D为正确答案。“what”和“which”为连接和关系代词，“that”指代单数，而空档处是代前边的“The clture and customs of America”，所以应当用复数代词those.

二、为了避免重复，that或those来代替前边的名词或代词，that表示事物，those表示人。一般来讲that表示单数或不可数，而those表示复数。但those可以和who连用，由who引导一个定语从句，这时those就不是代替前边的某词

4) Numerous efforts have been made [A] to improve [B] the laws governing [C] air pollution， but none have been as successful as them [D] devised by the state of Oregon.

5) An internationally famous ballerina [A] ， Maria Tallchief demonstrated [B] that the quality of ballet in the United States could equal those [C] of the ballet in Europe [D] .

6) Since the job was going to be [A] difficult， he asked only [B] them [C] he trusted to assist him [D] .

7) Forest animals [A] utilize the sense [B] of smell less [C] than them [D] in the countryside.

例题解析

4) D错。 改为those.这里“those”与“none”同指，都代“the laws”。

5) C错。 改为that，代“the quality.”

6) C错。改为those.C处作“asked”的宾语，又作“he trusted to assist him”的先行词。

7) D 错。 改为those.

三、such修饰可数名词须与a连用，也可修饰可数名词复数和不可数名词

8) Let us take a serious， reasonable look at what the results might be if proposal were accepted.

[A] so many

[B] a so many

[C] a such

[D] such a
