这一讲我们一起来看一下语法在四级英语中的考查特点和应对策略。
英语是一个重结构的语言,要求句子必须符合句法结构的要求。用来规定句法结构的一些原则也就是我们常说的语法。英语中的语法条文比较多,总的来说可分为两大类,即词法和句法。具体说来,有情态动词的用法,形容词和副词的比较级用法,非谓语动词的用法,时态和语态,定语从句,状语从句,虚拟语气,名词性从句,倒装,强调与并列,主谓一致等。经过统计,95年1月到2000年6月,仅词汇和句法部分对语法的考查就有190题,占52.8%,其中以非谓语动词、虚拟语气、时态/语态、状语从句和定语从句考查最多。今天这一讲我们重点讲时态/语态、虚拟语气和各种从句,下一讲重点讲非谓语动词等。
一、时态和语态
英语中共有16个时态,最常用的是一般现在时、一般过去时、一般将来时、现在和过去进行时、现在完成时、过去完成时。但从95年以来的考题统计来看,15个时态考题中将来完成最多,占3题,时态考查的次序依次为将来完成时--- 过去完成时 --- 现在完成进行时 --- 现在完成时 --- 一般将来 --- 一般过去。先看以下各题:

1) 以上各题都与完成时有关,完成时态用来表示到某一个时间为止已经完成的动作或某个状态/动作一直持续到某个时间。如果时间为过去,则用过去完成时,即表示过去的过去,如5)和7)。
2) 如果表示到将来某个时间为止已经完成的动作,则用将来完成时,如1)和3),再如:
