14、discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright.分析It作形式主语,to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection这个不定式结构作真正的主语,并列连词for后的分句用来补充说明前一个分句的原因。句意我无意指出这部戏剧集中每一部戏剧的中心思想,因为那样确实会破坏阅读、讨论和思考戏剧以及剧作家效率的乐趣。.语篇解读本文为说明文,主题语境是人与社会。文章提到大学生在大学期间怎么做,做什么很重要,
15、积极参加大学的各种活动会让学生受益匪浅。1.suggests/suggested/has suggested考查时态。句意:对这个问题的研究表明,对大部分学生来说无所谓。根据it doesnt可知是现在的情况,故suggest用一般现在时或现在完成时,但该从句所表达的是客观事实,故主句谓语动词用一般过去时也可以。2.where考查名词性从句。句意:学生们在大学里所做的事似乎要比他们上哪所大学重要得多。设空处引导宾语从句,该从句缺少地点状语,故填where。3.who/that考查定语从句。句意:从大学中最受益的学生是那些全力地参与学术生活,同时充分利用大学机会和资源的人。设空处引导定语从句,先行词是those,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,指代学生,故此处填关系代词who或that。4.meaningful考查形容词。为健康且有意义的大学经历做必要的准备,越早越好。college experience 是名词短语,应该用形容词来修饰,且设空处所填词和healthy并列,故设空处应用meaning的形容词形式meaningful。
