英語語法中獨立主格是?？嫉囊豁梼?nèi)容，但獨立主格在實際應(yīng)用中并不多見，主要出現(xiàn)在文獻中。一般外國人也不是很了解這一結(jié)構(gòu)，但真的碰到了他肯定能看得懂，就像咱們?nèi)绻麑λ翢o語法規(guī)則可言但詞匯用得八九不離十地說些什么也聽得懂。下面我們一起來測試下：

1.The soldier rushed into the cave, his right hand ________ a gun and his face ________ with sweat.

A held; covered ? ?B. holding; covering

C. holding; covered ? ? D. held; covering

答案：C。

解析：獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，his right hand 與hold有主謂關(guān)系，故用holding,而 his face與 cover是動賓關(guān)系，故用covered.

2. The girl in the snapshot was smiling sweetly, her long hair _________.

A. flowed in the breeze ? ?B. was flowing in the breeze

C. were flowing in the breeze ? ?D. flowing in the breeze

答案：D。

解析：her long hair 與 flowing 是主動關(guān)系，這是“獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)”作狀語。?

3.The children went home from the grammar school, their lessons _________ for the day.

A. finishing ? ?B. finished

C. had finished ? D. were finished

答案：B。

解析：因lessons與動詞finish之間為被動關(guān)系，故要用過去分詞。其實，their lessons finished for the day為獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。

4.On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents seated together joking.

A. their ? B. whose ? C. which ? D. that

答案：A。

解析：此題容易誤選B，認為這是非限制性定語從句。其實，句中的their parents seated together joking 不是非限制性定語從句，而是一個獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，因為空格后的動詞 seated 不是謂語，而是一個過去分詞，因為 seat 作動詞用時，是及物動詞。

5. The Smiths are rich and they have three cars, one a Toyota, ________ Land Rover of the latest.

A. another ? B. other ? ?C. the other ? D. the others

答案：D。

解析：易誤選C。后面部分實際上是獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)形式，省略了being。補充完整就是：The Smiths are rich and they have three cars, one being a Toyota, the others being Land Rover of the latest. (兩個獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)均表伴隨狀語)

好了，以上的這些題最難的可能是第五題了，看了講解是不是明白了呢?以上的練習(xí)僅是獨立主格的一部分，在日常的學(xué)習(xí)中還請大家多練習(xí)才行。
