初中英语同义句转换精析
1.同义句转换题是近几年来中考英语试题的常见题型之一。
该题型能够全面考查学生灵活运用英语的能力,要求学生反应敏捷,联想丰富,能用不同的句子或短语来表达同一意义。
本文就同义句转换题的特点及转换形式进行分析,希望从中帮助同学们找出规律,提高其应试能力。
2. Eg:People were in a hurry to take the sick man to hospital.(写出同义句)
People _______ _______ take the sick man to hospital.
People hurries to take the sick man to hospital.
同义句转换的实质就是替代、合并和改写句子。
具体分析如下:
一:替代
1、用一个新的词、短语替代原句中有关部分。
如:①I received a letter from Lucy .
= I heard from Lucy . (receive a letter from →hear from )
②I often walk to school every day .
= I often go to school on foot . (walk →go on foot )
③She decided to stop learning English .
= She decided to give up English . (stop doing sth. →give up doing sth. )
2、用反义词来替代。
如:
3、④We are in different rows . = We aren’t in the same row . (different →same )
4、⑤My bike is cheaper than yours . = Your bike is more expensive than mine . ( cheap →expensive ) 用反义词或反义短语来替换时,一般会有一个否定意义的词,如not , less , no , never , hardly 等。
二:合并句子
合并句子一般是通过并列连词将两个简单句合并为一句。
常见的并列连词有:not only …but also , both …and , neither …nor, either …or 等。
例如:
⑥Mary didn’t go to the park . I didn’t , either .
= Neither Mary nor I went to the park .
⑦Wei Hua may go to the cinema , or Ann may because there is only one ticket .
= Either Wei Hua or Ann may go to the cinema because there is only one ticket .
⑧John has got a penfriend . Mike has got a penfriend , too .
= Not only John but also Mike has got a penfriend .
= Both John and Mike have got penfriends .
三:改写句子
通过能够表达同一意义的不同句型、句式、语态的转换,来达到改写句子的目的。
具体可分为:
1、复合句改为简单句。
含宾语从句的复合句变简单句时,可用不定式改写,将宾语从句中的谓语动词变为不定式。
如:
⑨We all agree that we should leave at once .
= We all agree to leave at once .
⑩Could you tell me when we will start ?
= Could you tell me when to start ?
含宾语从句的复合句变简单句时,还可用复合宾语,即宾语加宾语补助语来改写。
如:
1. I saw he went into the room just now .
= I saw him go into the room just now .
2. Edison’s mother found that he w as a clever boy .
= Edison’s mother found him clever .
We heard that she was singing in English .
= We heard her singing in English .
2、含状语从句的复合句变简单句时,常用以下方法:以so…that引导的结果状语从句常转换为too …to 或enough to 结构。
如:
He is so young that he can’t go to school .
= He is too young to go to school .
= He isn’t old enough to go to school .
另外还可通过结构和语态的转换来改写。
如:
I can’t finish the work if you don’t help me .
= I can’t finish the work without your help .
= I c an’t finish the work unless you help me .
We use computers in many ways . = Computers are used in many ways .
3、句型间的转换,要求对能够表达同一意义的常用句型结构了解甚透。
如:
It took me two hours to finish my homework .
= I spent two hours in finishing my homework .
If you don’t hurry , you will be late . = Hurry up , or you’ll be late .
4、还可利用词性转换来改写。
如:
There was a heavy snow here last night .
= It snowed heavily here last night . Uncle Wang invented the machine .
= Uncle Wang was the inventor of the machine .
同义句转换是句型转换题型中一种非常重要的形式。
所谓同义句转换,是指用不同的词汇、短语及句型表示相同或相近的意思。
它是中考命题的一大热点。
现将常见的同义句转换形式作一归纳,以期对同学们的中考复习有所帮助。

四、二句并一句转换为简单句。
9. Jim doesn't like noodles,and Jack doesn't,either.

10. Mrs. Smith is my teacher. She is also my good friend.

简析:英语中常用not only... but also,either... or,neither... nor,both... and等连词把两个意义相关的简单句合并成一个简单句。
解题过程中要注意连词的选用和主谓一致原则。
除此之外,还可用too... to,enough to等把两个简单句合并成另一简单句。
如:Tom is young. He can't go to school.→Tom is too young to go to school.
五、用派生词或多义词改写。

七、简单句与复合句的互换。
14. Do you know how you can get the kite down from the tree?

答案: how to
简析:复合句转换为简单句一般侧重于将从句变化为短语或词组,使其句意简单明了。
常见的转换方法有:(1)用不定式替换、用介词短语替换、用名词短语替换、用分词短语替换;(2)将宾语从句简化为"疑问词+不定式";(3)将so... that... (such... that... )引导的状语从句简化为含有too... to... (或enough to)的简单句;(4)将if引导的状语从句简化为"祈使句,and(or)+句子"。
八、综合转换。
15. Something is wrong with that machine.
That machine_________ _________.
答案:doesn't work
简析:综合转换是在整体把握句意的基础上,对原句重新进行概括表达,它在词汇、结构等多方面都有较大的变化。

一般过去时应表述发生在过去某一时间的动作,惟此,才可能转为现在完成时,并后跟一段时间,但应特别注意动词是否属于延续性动词,如果为非延续性动词,则需将其改为延续性动词或延续性状态。

so...that...引导的结果状语从句有两种情况:1)表示肯定的结果,可与“enough to”结构互换;2)表示否定的结果,它既可以与“too...to”结构互换,也可以改为“not+adj./adv.+enough to”。
(注:此时的形容词或副词应为上句的反义词。
)注意:“so...that...”结构前后主语不一致时,应在enough或too +adj.后面加for sb.

[解题要领]“so+动词+主语”结构,表示肯定,译为“某人(物)也如此”。
这两种结构指前一句所说的情况,同样也适合另一个人或物。
显然,上下句主语不同。
转换时应注意四点:1)动词指助动词、be动词或情态动词;2)动词在时态上与前句呼应;3)动词在数上要与本句主语保持一致;4)表示否定时,neither /nor本身具有否定意义,动词要用肯定形式。

宾语从句的引导词有三种情况:1?钡北鲇锎泳浔硎境率鲆庖宓氖焙颍?即为陈述句结构),引导词为that;2.当宾语从句表示一般疑问意义的时候(即为一般疑问结构),引导词为if/whether;3.当宾语从句表示特殊疑问意义的时候(即为特殊疑问结构),引导词为原来的特殊疑问词;二是变陈述句。
无论是由哪一种引导词引导的宾语从句,宾语从句都应使用陈述语序;三是主从一致。
它是针对主句是一般过去时,宾语
从句应用相应的某种过去时态而言的,即一般现在时与一般过去时;现在进行时与过去进行时;一般将来时与过去将来时;现在完成时与过去成时一一对应。
但是如果从句表示客观真理,从句时态不受主句时态的影响,用一般现在时即可。
