1、英语专业四级语法、词汇知识1语法考题的涉及面宽，近年考题曾经考到：几乎所有词类；三种动词的非谓语形式；各种从句及关系词的用法；动词时态、虚拟语气、情态动词的用法；独立主格，主谓一致，倒装，强调、并列结构等基本语法知识。2语法考试的重点突出，语法考试的重点为内容庞杂较难掌握的项目，这些项目还反复出现，如：虚拟语气，状语从句，定语从句，独立主格，情态动词。3具体考查重点为以上项目中的特殊用法，不常用的情况1）虚拟语气的考点为：would ratherthat 从句一般过去时：It is vital necessary important urgent imperative desirable ad
2、visable natural essentialthat动词原形；It is timeabout timehigh timethat 一般过去时：proposalsuggestionthat动词原形；lest thatshould动词原形；if onlythatwould动词原形。2）状语从句的考点为：非 if 引导的条件状语从句，此类句子多用 at times，provided，so long as，in case，once 等来替代 if；由 even ifso，now that，for all 等引导的让步状语从句；justhardly.when 引导的时间状语从句；more than
3、，as.as，not so much as，the same as，as much as 等引导的比较状语从句。3）独立主格结构多以逻辑主语分词的形式出现。4）情态动词多与完成时形式连用。5）定语从句重点考查介词关系代词（which）和 as 作为关系代词。专业四级考试的词汇部分要求考生能灵活正确运用教学大纲语法结构表一至四级的全部内容，熟练掌握教学大纲词汇表中一至四级规定的 50006000 个认知词汇及其最基本的搭配。其考查重点为：1动词、名词与介词的搭配如：popularpatientwith ；yield solution adapttransferaccessto；accusereq
4、uireof；chargefor；underdiscussion 等等。2习惯用法如： confess toset aboutbe used todoing ；be supposed tohavemake sbdo 等。3由同一动词构成的短语如：come ，go，set，break 等构成的短语。4单个的动词，抽象名词，形容词和副词多以近义词、同义词的形式出现。5介词短语在句中作状语如：in terms of；with the exception of；in vain 等，另外还应注意rather than，other than，such as，nonenothingbut 等词在考题中的出现
5、。语法和词汇的复习思路：1全面掌握基本语法点，重点记住各个项目中的“偏，特，难” 点。2掌握常用习惯用法和词组。3注意在阅读中培养语感，因为在语篇层次上培养的语感往往可以直接帮助答题。4研究以往考试试题，适当做些练习记住典型题例。2009 年英语专业四级语法与词汇评析2009 年 4 月 18 日的英语专业四级考试已经落下帷幕，这次考试的完形填空部分难度有所提高。在 20 道题目中，纯词义题有 15 道，考查学生对常用词的意思的全面掌握，例如第 47 题的contract，这个词在本文中是一个及物动词，意思是“得（病） ”，如 I contracted a cold. 我得了感冒。再如第 49
6、 题的 linger，这个词在本文中是一个不及物动词，意思是“ 奄奄一息地活着，苟延残喘”。请看柯林斯词典的对这个意思的解释 When someone who is dying lingers, they stay alive for longer than people expect, even though they are very week. 习惯搭配题有 3 道：at this point (这时)， start with (以 - 开始)， care for (照顾)。习惯搭配题对考生的语感要求很高，如果学生平时注意多朗读，多积累，这几道题应该不会太难。 语篇题有 2 道。语篇题最
7、难，因为它考察的是学生对上下文之间的逻辑关系的理解，考生只有真正读懂文章才能做得对题目。比如第 32 题，上下文之间是顺接关系，故选 and；再如第 42题，上下文之间存在着因果关系，故选 so。 做完形填空题，最重要的固然是实力，但若辅以适当的解题技巧，则解题的准确率会大大提高。在英语专业四级考试的考前辅导中，新东方针对完形填空的特点，提出了搞定完型填空的三个步骤和四条原则，相信这些技巧可以使同学们在考场上如虎添翼。 细数本次考试的语法与词汇单项选择题，我们欣慰地会发现：语法部分的难度较往年有所下降，没有超出新东方考前串讲的范围；词汇部分难度与往年基本持平。 先说前面 15 道语法题，在今年
8、的考卷中，往年的一些高难度句型和语法均未出现，只考了一些常规的句型和固定搭配。 51 题考查介词 about 用法，即动词在介词后面的作宾语要变成动名词，本题的难点在于：在这个动名词前面有其逻辑主语 the three of us。 52 题考察虚拟语气的最简单的一种用法：对现在的情况进行相反的假设，条件从句用一般过去时，主句用 would + 动词原形。 53 题考察情态动词 must 的一个用法：must + 现在完成时，表示对过去的事实有把握的推测。54 题考察疑问词+ever 引导的让步状语从句。这是一个往年考过的语法项目，我们在考前辅导中也强调过。 55 题考察的是英语中倍数的表达法
9、。 56 题考察定语从句的一个常见用法：在不定代词 all 后面，只能用 that 引导定语从句，但不能用 which。 57 题考察 it 作形式宾语的用法。 58 题考察 So it is.（的确） 。 59 题考察倒装的一个常见用法：表示否定的副词或短语位于句首，则句子的主谓部分倒装。 60 题考察英语中一个常见的固定搭配 no sooner - than -。 61 题考察情态动词 should 的用法，即 should + 现在完成时，含有责备的意味：某事该做而没有做。 62 题考察句型 It seems that-的用法。 63 题考察程度副词的用法。 64 题考察带有插入语的特殊
10、疑问句的用法。这个语法项目 2003 年第 44 题曾考过。 65 题考察现在分词短语作定语的用法，也比较简单。 再说说后面的 15 道词汇题。与往年相比，这次考查的短语的数量有所下降，在 15 道词汇题中，只考了 4 道短语题，其余则是专四大纲内的重点名词、动词、形容词和副词。所考查的部分单词和短语有一定难度，如 suspense (悬念)， entertain (心中怀有)， pass off (冒充)，out of blue(意外地)等。 顺便指出的是，词汇部分的第 79 题答案不唯一，选 no other than 或者 none other than 都可是对的，请看张道真的现代英语
11、用法词典第 1512 页的解释：no / none other than 不是别人，而是。这两个短语都有强调的意味，意思是“正是 - ”，只不过 none other than 用得更广泛一些罢了。（编辑：赵露） 专业英语四级考前恶补语法词汇Test One集体名词作主语主谓一致1)通常作复数的集体名词集体名词，如：police, people,cattle,militia,poultry 等，通常作复数，用复数动词。如：Domestic cattle provide us with milk, beef and hides.2)通常作不可数名词的集体名词有些集体名词，如 foliage,ma
12、chinery,equipment,furniture,merchandise,通常作不可数名词，随后的动词用单数。例如：All the machinery in the factory is made in China.3)既可作单数也可作复数的集体名词集体名词，如 audience, committee, class, crew, family, public, government 等，既可作单数，也可作复数用。The city council is meeting to set its agenda.4)a committee,etc. of +复数名词如果主语是由“a committ
13、ee of /a panel of /a board of +复数名词”构成，随后的动词通常用单数。例如：A committee of five men and three women is to consider the matter.近义词辨析tired, exhausted, fatigued, weary, worn out这组词均含有“疲惫的”的意思。tired 可指因体力或脑力消耗太多而需要休息，还可指因长期做某事而失去兴趣。Henry was so tired that he went to bed immediately after he got home.亨利很疲惫，一到家就
14、上床睡觉去了。exhausted 表达的疲惫程度最强，指因劳累过度而精疲力竭。The exhausted engineer fell asleep on the bus.精疲力竭的工程师在公共汽车上睡着了。fatigued 所表达的疲劳程度比 tired 和 weary 强，表示由于过度劳累而引起疲乏，不能再继续下去。He felt fatigued and didnt want to say a single word.他疲惫不堪，不想说一句话。weary 语气比 tired 强，指由于长时间努力工作或由于做单一的事而引起疲倦。After a long and weary wait, the
15、 plane finally came to take them back.经过漫长而又令人疲乏的等待后，飞机终于来接他们回去了。Worn out 这个词不太正式，多用于口语。The troops were worn out after winning the battle.战后,部队疲惫不堪。全真模拟试题1.
