2. 在语法填空中把握好动词用法应具备的能力
1). 分析句子结构的能力
由于语法填空是在语篇层面上考察学生英语语法运用能力,所以在阅读的过程中抓住句子的主干结构是非常重要的.如上面的例5) : The recent case of an American woman, Terri Schiavo, whose husband won a legal battle to have her taken off life support machines after she spent 15 years in a coma-like state, _has exposed_ ( expose ) the many sensitive legal and medical issues that surround the care of coma patients. (module 7 unit 21 communication workshop)
这个句子很长,但是我们只要找出句子的主语 the recent case , 我们就不难发现, 要填空的expose其实就是在句子中充当谓语的作用.
