本期重点：句子结构混乱
主要问题是一个简单句出现了两个或多个谓语，或者用动词作句子的主语或宾语, 或者句子关系结构混乱等

考点例析
例1：In ordinary speech, a person of culture is the individual
can speak another language - the person who is familiar S5.______
with the arts, music, literature, philosophy, or history.
解析：这个句子出现了两个位于动词，在英语中不符合语言规范，从下文可以看出后面部分是修饰individual的定语从句，缺少了引导词，所以要在can前加who或that。
例2：There are backward towns on the edge of Bombay or
Brasilia, just as though there were on the edge of S3._______
seventeenth-century London or early nineteenth-
century Paris.
解析：本句大意是：在孟买或巴西利亚周边有一些落后的城镇，正如17世纪的伦敦或19世纪初期周边也有一些落后城镇一样。两句之间的连词应该表示比较，“与...相同”，使后一句成为前一句的比较状语从句。连词as意为“像...一样”，前面just强调程度表示“正如，与...相同”。
例3：When the wedding is gathered by the altar, the bride and
groom exchange vows. Fllowing the vows, the couple
exchange rings. Wear the wedding ring on the forth finger of ________
the left hand is an old custom.
解析：本句的主语是动词短语Wear the wedding ring on the forth finger of the left hand，但动词本身不能做主语，只有用其相应的动名词形式才能做主语，所以将wear改为wearing

综合训练
Aphrodite loved Adonis more than she did to heaven, for 1.______
He was a brisk, lovely young hunter. She abandoned her residence
at Olympus and took to the woods, where she dressed
herself up like a huntress and kept the youth companion all day 2.________
long. With him she roved through bushy grounds and groves and
over hills and dales, cheering hounds and pursuing game of a
harmless sort. They had a great time together. However, she
warned him many times to chase wild beasts like lions and 3.________
wolves, but the young man just laughed at the idea.
One day, after warning him thus, she left to Olympus in 4.________
her chariot. Quite by chance Adonis" hounds found a boar, that 5.________
roused Adonis to enthusiasm. He hit the beast with a dart, and 6.________
the boar, turning on him ,buried its white tusk deep into his
tender side and trampled him to death.
When Aphrodite came back to find her lover cold in death,
she burst into a passion of tears. Unable to wrest him back from
the low world, she sprinkled nectar on Adonis" blood and 7.________
turned it into anemone, a delicate purple flower.
Aphrodite was, therefore, still inconsolable. In grief and 8.________
despair she flew to Zeus and implored him to restore Adonis to
her. Though she had Zeus" sympathy, Hades was by no means
prepared to comply with her request. After the much dispute a 9.________
compromise was worked out under which Adonis was to spend
half the year above ground with Aphrodite, but the rest six 10.________
months in the Elysian Fields. Therefore, in spring time Adonis
came back to the loving embrace of Aphrodite, but when winter
came he had to return most reluctantly to Hades.
