【考点释析】

1. ...and fish are abundant in the seas and rivers.

abundant adj. 大量的；丰富的

be abundant in + 地点名词：在…地方有大量的/盛产…；

be abundant in + n：在…方面丰富；充裕

Rice is abundant in the south of China. 中国南方盛产大米。

China is abundant in natural resources. 中国自然资源丰富。

2. Montreal is the second largest French-speaking city in the world, Pairs being the largest.

蒙特利尔是世界上第二大讲法语城市，巴黎是最大的。

▲划线部分用的是独立主格结构，独立主格的逻辑主语与句子的主语是不一致的。“Pairs being the largest”是由“名词(Pairs) + V-ing (being the largest)”构成的独立主格结构形式。

▲独立主格结构可以由“名(代词主格)+V-ing/V-ed/to do/形容词/副词/介词短语”构成，表时间，原因，条件，伴随，方式等。

▲注意：

(1) 用to do/V-ing/V-ed 意义不同。不定式往往表示没有发生或即将发生的动作；V-ing 形

式表示一个主动动作正在进行；V-ed形式表示已经完成、或被动完成的动作。

(2) 独立主格结构中的being可以省略，但若是being done表示正在被做时，being不可省

略。且当独立主格逻辑主语是it，there时，being 通常不省略。
