大学英语四级考试(CET-4)考试说明
2006年开始全面启动大学英语四级新题型,侧重训练学生的英语综合应用能力,特别是听说能力,使之今后在工作和社交中能有效地进行口头和书面的信息交流。 大英四级考试改革的方向,是在保持考试的科学性、客观性、公正性的同时,使之最大限度地对大英教学产生正面的导向作用。 四级考试采取的重要举措之一是改革计分体制和成绩报道方式:满分710分,不设及格线,向考生发成绩报告单通告总分、单项分等,向学校提供考试分数的解释。 考试内容和形式上的变化:加大听力理解部分的题量和比例,增加快速阅读理解测试,增加非选择性试题的比例。四级考试单项分的报道共分为四个部分:听力(35%)、阅读(35%)、完型填空或改错(10%)、作文和翻译(20%)。各单项报道分的满分分别为:听力249分,阅读249分,完型填空或改错70分,作文142分。各单项分相加之和等于总分(710分)。 样卷答题时间共125分钟。考试开始后,考生首先在答题卡1上完成写作部分。30分钟后,监考员发试题册,考生接着的15分钟内完成快速阅读理解部分的试题。然后,监考员收回答题卡1。考生在答题卡2上完成其余部分的试题。

基础语法梳理 一、词类 英语重要词类有名词、动词、形容词、副词、连词、介词 名词: 1. 主要做主语、宾语、表语、定语。分三类:普通名词、动作名词(sight和thought)、动名词;亦可分为普通名词、抽象名词、集体名词、专有名词 2. 考虑单复数、尤其特殊复数形式、可数与不可数名词、与冠词的关系:所有可数名词单数前须加a或the,要么有其他指示代词,如this或that。 3. 特殊名词,如学科类名词:maths, politics, statistics; 专有名词:the United Nations; 拼写特殊名词:series要视为单数。 4. 英语可数与不可数的概念不同,抽象名词多为不可数。常见不可数名词:news, information, advice, furniture, meat, bread, sand, water, paper;特殊的名词如fish和fruit 5. 不规则复数名词:woman, foot, datum, phenomenon, medium, bacterium 6. many, many a, few, a few, a number of, several修饰可数名词,much, little, a little, a great deal of, a large amount of修饰不可数名词,a lot of(=lots of)二者都可以修饰,a large sum of 7. 主语和谓语在人称和数的方面要一致。 8. a number of, the number of 9. 球类前面不用冠词,乐器前面必须用。 10.名词要关注后缀
动词:比较复杂,是难点和重点 1. 动词分为助动词、be动词、实义动词(及物与不及物)、情态动词,主要充当谓语。动作动词和状态动词 2. 助动词主要帮助构成否定或疑问,依据时态形式不一,如一般现在时的助动词是do和does,一般过去时是did,现在完成时是have和has,过去完成时是had,一般将来时是will和shall,过去将来时是would和should。 3. Be动词表示状态,主要是am、is、are(现在时)、were、was(过去时),但还有一些特殊be动词,如感觉动词feel、sound、smell、look、taste,状态动词seem、appear、remain。状态动词一般不用进行时,变化动词become、turn、get。 4. Be动词的进行时表示暂时的状态。对比下面句子:1)He is honest. 2)He is being honest. 5. 实义动词,顾名思义,指的是有实际意义的动词,也就是主动词。及物动词有宾语,可以使用被动语态;不及物动词不可直接带宾语,不可以使用被动语态:take place, happen。 6. 情态动词相当于助动词,重点在must和can(表推测)、need和dare可同时做实义动词。另外,过去式可用于虚拟语气中。 7. 谓语动词用单数的情况:非谓语、从句作主语;组织机构、国家名称、作品名称作主语;不定代词以及one every each either, neither作主语或修饰主语,谓语动词用单数;时间、距离、金钱、体积表示总量充当主语时,谓语用单数。 8. 及物动词的被动形式
形容词:表示状态和性质 1. 主要作表语、定语、宾补。 2. 形容词有三级比较:同级、比较级和最高级。最高级前加the。more不可与-er同时出现,most不可与-est同时出现。 3. 特殊形式:特殊变化需要记忆,如good, well, bad, little, far, many, much;而特殊结构更需要专门记忆,如not so…as, the more…the more, more…than 4. 极限形容词只有原级,没有比较级和最高级:unique,square,round,perfect 5. 特殊比较形容词:superior,inferior,senior,junior,prior,后用to表示比较 6. -ing形容词多用来修饰物,“令人……”,而-ed形容词用来指人。 7. a字母开头的形容词只作表语和宾补,不可作定语。 8. 拼写特殊形容词:clever,slender 9. 以-ly结尾的形容词:lovely, friendly, lonely, lively, leisurely, brotherly; daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, timely
副词:-ly 1. 副词位置灵活,可在句子不同位置,放在何处就强调该处。 2. 程度副词位置:放在助动词后,实义动词前,省略句时放在助动词的前面。 3. 副词修饰形容词、动词、副词,主要做状语,表示状态。 4. 特殊副词:that=so,but=only 5. too修饰形容词原级,very修饰形容词原级,much修饰比较级,very much修饰动词,far修饰比较级。too…to 6. too much后跟不可数名词,表示数量,much too后跟形容词,表示程度。 7.特殊副词:live, sharp, fast 8.if only和only if
连词:连接句子 1. 连词分并列连词和从属连词,前者引导并列句,后者引导复合句。 2. 并列连词:and、but、or、when和while,not only…but also, both…and, neither…nor, either…or 3. 从属连词有两种:名词性从句:that、what、which、who、whom、whose、as。状语性从句:时间when、as soon as、since、for、the moment(instant, minute),条件if、unless、supposing, provided that、on condition that,方式as,目的so that、 in order that,结果so…that,比较than,原因because、since、as、for,让步although、though、as、while,虚拟lest, as if, as though 4. 两个独立句子之间必须有连词。that在主从、宾从、同位语、表从句中不做成分,在定从中要充当成分。
代词: 代词分人称代词、指示代词、不定代词 1. 人称代词主格:I, you, he, she, they, it 2. 人称代词宾格:me, you, him, her, them, it 3. 人称代词所有格:形容词性所有格:my, your, his, her, their, its名词性所有格:mine, yours, his, hers, theirs, its 4. 指示代词:this, that, these, those; the one=that, the ones=those 5. 不定代词:something, anything, everything, nothing, somebody, anybody, everybody, nobody。不定代词放修饰的形容词前面。 6. 代词顺序:you, he and I 7. 反身代词的固定搭配:exert oneself to do sth., apply oneself to sth., beside oneself, enjoy oneself 8. a, an和one的区别 9.each other和one another; other和another 10.否定代词none和neither,放句首倒装
介词:多为固定搭配,须记忆。 二、句子成分和句型 1.英语的句子成分有:主语、谓语、宾语、宾补、定语、状语、表语。 2.基本句型有五种 1)主语+谓语+宾语 2)主语+系动词+表语 3)主语+谓语+双宾语 4)主语+谓语+宾语+宾补 5)主语+谓语 The teacher took him to the zoo.(主语+谓语+宾语+地点状语) I will buy you a book. (主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语) We made him our monitor. (主语+谓语+宾语+宾补) He is a doctor.(主语+系动词表语) 3.自然语序和倒装语序。倒装句:全部倒装;部分倒装:否定词放句首;隐形否定词;三个代词放句首:so, neither, nor;虚拟倒装三形式 4.充当主语的是名词、代词、动名词、不定式、从句,后三者一般视为单数。 5.充当谓语的是动词,分现在时、过去时、进行时、完成时、将来时。动词有第三人称单数变化、现在分词、过去式和过去分词的区分。如sing---sings---sang---sung---singing;注意特殊变化动词,如lie, hang, shine, found 6.充当宾语的是名词、代词、动名词、不定式、从句。那些动词后要求动名词或不定式做宾语都是固定的。区分不定式宾补和动名词宾语。同一动词的宾语和宾补:allow, permit, let 常见需要动名词做宾语的动词:enjoy, finish, risk, appreciate, anticipate, deny, consider, allow, suggest, practice, avoid, stop, escape, mind, postpone, delay;考虑被动语态 7.所有介词后跟的宾语必须是名词、代词和动名词。 8.充当宾补的是名词、形容词和分词。如 People voted him President of the country. I found him sleeping in bed. The police saw the car abandoned. 9.做定语的是形容词、代词、分词和从句。单个形容词做定语放在修饰的词前,但放不定代词后,短语做定语放修饰词后。从句做定语为定语从句,放在修饰词的后面。 10.定语从句:限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句;区分有二:有无逗号,前者为修饰限制,后者为补充说明。引导定从的连词叫关系代词和关系副词。前者有六个:that, which, who, whom, whose, as(such as, the same…as),后者有三个:why, where, when that和which的区别:人和物;使用that的情况:不定代词、形容词最高级、序数词、all和only。使用which的情况:非限定性定从,介词+which,跟as的用法接近。 11.做状语的是介词短语(时间、地点、原因等)、分词短语、状语从句,位置灵活,不过一般置于句尾。重点在状语从句的连词。 12.充当表语的是名词、形容词和从句,放在be动词后面。 句子按照功用分为陈述句、疑问句、祈使句、感叹句和虚拟句 1.陈述句用来叙述事实,可以肯定,也可以否定。 2.疑问句有四种:一般、特殊、选择和反意疑问句。 一般疑问句用yes或no来回答,助动词放在主语前。 特殊疑问句需要特殊疑问词+一般疑问句。 选择疑问句是两个一般疑问句中间用or连接,进行选择。 反意疑问句的前半部分是陈述句,后半部分是一般疑问句。前后相反。如 She doesn’t often go to the cinema, does she? We have finished everything, haven’t we? Let’s do the cleaning, shall we? Clean the blackboard, will you? 3.祈使句表示命令和要求,主语you常省略,即动词原形在句首。 4.感叹句表示强烈的感情,由what或how+陈述句。what a+adj.+主语+谓语;How+adj.+a +主语+谓语 5.虚拟句就是虚拟语气 英语句子结构分四类:简单句、并列句、复合句和并列复合句 简单句:只有一个主语和谓语 并列句:两个或两个以上的简单句连在一起 复合句:一个主句+一个从句或两个以上的从句,中间用连词连接 并列复合句:两个复合句用并列连词连接 三、时态 1.时态要一致:现在和过去 2.时间和条件状语从句用一般现在时(一般过去时),主句用一般将来时(过去将来时) 3.动作动词的进行时表示将来,如leave, go, turn, get, become, grow 4.状态动词不用进行时 5.客观真理任何时候都用一般现在时 6.一般过去时、现在完成时和将来完成时的区分 四、语态 1.语态有主动语态和被动语态:发出就接受的关系。注意过去式和过去分词的不同,应正确拼写过去分词 2.被动语态表示:不知道动作的发出者、强调客观、句子结构的平衡 3.被动语态应结合时态和语气综合考虑,注意非谓语形式的被动语态。构成是be+过去分词 一般现在时:am/is/are+过去分词 一般过去时:was/were+过去分词 现在进行时:am/is/are+being+过去分词 过去进行时:was/were+being+过去分词 现在完成时:have/has+been+过去分词 过去完成时:had+been+过去分词 一般将来时:will be+过去分词 过去将来时:would+be+过去分词 4.不及物动词没有被动语态 5.动作的发出者由by引导 6.特殊被动语态: 情态动词的被动语态:情态动词+be+过去分词 短语动词应该视为一个整体来对待:The children are taken good care of by the teacher. 双宾语的被动语态:一个宾语变被动,一个保留 7.主动表示被动的情形: The tall man is to blame. The house is to let. The house needs repairing.(=to be repaired)(request, demand,require) 8.被动表示主动的情形: I’m occupied with my work. He’s convinced he is right. 五、虚拟语气 1.与现在事实相反或在可预见的时间段内不可能发生的事情。 2.虚拟句无单数be动词,无现在时态,全部都是相应的过去时态。 虚拟三形式:(would, should, could, might) 现在情况的虚拟:If+主语+一般过去时,主语+would+动词原形 过去情况的虚拟:If+主语+过去完成时,主语+would+have+done 将来情况的虚拟:If+主语+一般过去式,主语+should+动词原形 3.虚拟倒装三形式:省略if,助动词提前。 Were+主语+表语,主语+would+动词原形。 Were I you, I would not come. Had+主语+过去分词,主语+would+have+done。 Had I come earlier yesterday, I would have met him. Should+主语+动词原形,主语+would+动词原形。 Should you come, you would come early tomorrow. 4.虚拟特殊形式: 1)wish后that从句用虚拟语气 2)would rather,had rather,would just as soon,had just as soon用did的形式 3)It is (about, high)time that用did的形式 4)以下三类词后的that从句用should+动词原形;需要注意虚拟被动(be done) 动词:demand, request, order, suggest, desire, require, move, propose, advise, recommend, prefer 名词:demand, order, suggestion, desire, requirement, motion, proposal, advice, recommendation 形容词:important, essential, necessary, imperative, advisable, , urgent, desirable, better 5)lest引导的从句用虚拟形式:即should+动词原形 6)as if、as though和for fear that引导的从句 7)介词but for和without引导的短语 8)If only引导的从句 六、非谓语三形式 1.除了谓语之外,其他语法成分都可充当。 2.不定式主要作主语、宾语、宾补、定语、表语言、目的状语和结果状语 3.分词主要作状语、宾补、定语 4.动名词主要作主语、宾语、表语 5.非谓语有时态和语态的变化。 不定式:to do, to have done, to be doing; to be done, to have been done 分词:doing, having done; being done, having been done 6.动名词的逻辑主语用形容词性物主代词或名词所有格充当。 7.有些动词必须用doing作宾语:enjoy, deny, avoid, suggest, escape, practice, anticipate, quit 8.有些动词用to do和doing作宾语,意义稍微有区别。不定式表示具体一次性动作,动名词表示抽象的长期性、反复性动作。like, start, begin, love, hate 有些差别比较大,比如remember, forget, regret, stop, try; require, request, admit, appreciate, avoid, consider, delay, deny, detest, endure, enjoy, escape, fancy, finish, imagine, mind, miss, postpone, practice, recall, resent, resist, resume, risk, suggest, face, include, stand, understand, forgive, keep 9.常见句型 There is no use (sense, point, good)in doing something have difficulty (trouble) in doing sth have a hard time doing sth.(have time to do sth.) spend time doing sth (spend money on sth) feel like doing sth. cannot help doing (cannot help but do) It takes sb. time to do sth 10.allow, permit后可直接用doing作宾语,用to do作宾补。let 11.有些动词后必须用不定式作宾语,如want, wish, hope, order, learn, promise, plan, desire, agree, expect, intend, manage, fail, choose, care, mean, pretend, continue 12.不定式作宾补,如ask, tell, force, help, encourage, prefer, advise, expect, wish, persuade, want, invite, get, warn 13.省to不定式作宾补:make, let, have, see, hear, watch, notice, feel,变成被动语态时要加to。 14.动名词和现在分词的形式一样,都是doing,但前者强调名词的功能,后者强调动词的作用,表示正在发生的动作。 15.从时间关系上看,不定式to do多表示将来的动作,没有发生的事情,而现在分词doing表示正在发生的动作,过去分词done表示已经做完的动作。 16.尤其注意三者作宾补的区别。 I saw him entering the building. I saw him enter the building. I found the car stolen. 17.be about to do 表示将来的动作。 18.不定式的逻辑主语多用for来引导,表示性质的形容词可用of。 It is important for us to fulfill the task on time. It is nice of you to give me so much help. 19.不及物动词的不定式须要有介词,有两种表达形式。 I have a house to live in. =I have a house in which to live. 20.现在分词表主动进行,过去分词表被动完成。 21. worth, worthy, worth-while的用法:都为adj., 意为"值得的"。 worth: be worth + n., 当名词为金钱时,表示"……值得……" be worth doing sth. "……某事值得被做" The question is not worth discussing again and again. worthy: be worthy of +n. 当名词为抽象名词时表示"……值得……" be worthy to be done "某事值得被做" The question is not worthy to be discussed again and again. worth-while: be worth-while to do sth "值得做某事" It is worthwhile for sb to do sth. 22. 动名词与不定式语义不同: stop to do stop doing forget to do forget doing remember(regret)to do remember(regret)doing cease to do cease doing try to do try doing go on to do go on doing mean to do mean doing begin / start to do begin / start doing need to do need doing 23.分词的时态 1)与主语动词同时 Hearing the news, he jumped with joy. Arriving there, they found the boy sleeping. 2)先于主动词 分词作时间状语,如果先与主动词的动作,且强调先后,要用having done。 Having finished his homework, he went out.(=as he had finished his homework, he went out.) 分词的语态:通常,现在分词表示主动,过去分词表示被动 He is the man giving you the money.(= who gave you…) He is the man stopped by the car. (= who was stopped by…) 七、两大结构 1.独立主格结构:(With)+逻辑主语+分词短语,句子 1)With可省略,逗号之前部分也可放在句子后面。 2)逻辑主语跟句子的主语必须是两个不同的人或物。 3)分词短语可以是现在或过去分词,根据发出或接受的动作来判断。 The task finished, we all went home. 对比:Having finished the task, we all went home. 2.强调结构: It is (was)+被强调部分+that从句 It was not until she arrived home that she remembered that she had an appointment with the dentist. 1)被强调部分可以是一个单词、短语或一个完整的句子 2)连词必须用that,不可用其他连词替代。 3)注意区分主语从句和强调结构,依据it和that从句的关系来确定。 八、各种从句 1.从句有两类:名词性从句、状语性从句 2.名词性从句:主语从句、宾语从句、定语从句、表语从句、同位语从句 1)主语从句(主语从句在动词谓语前,宾语从句在动词谓语后) 充当主语的简单句(that不充当成分) That he is learned doesn’t mean that he is noble. Which one is better is hard to define. Whether he will come is not certain. It充当形式主语的情况。 It is not certain whether he will come. It doesn’t make sense that he is a scholar. 2)宾语从句(that不充当成分,what充当主语和宾语) 引导宾语从句的是动词、形容词和介词 3)定语从句 关系代词:that、which、who、whom、whose, as,关系副词:when、where和why 都要充当成分。 限定性和非限定性定语从句。注意that、which的区别,who、whom、whose的区别 He that thinks his business is below him will be always above his business. I pointed out the points which he missed in his article. This is the house in which he lived several years ago. I recognized the person who was standing in front of the house. This is the man whom the police have been looking for. The teacher took better care of the boy whose parents were working abroad. This is the reason why I cannot come tomorrow. The museum is the place where many rare collections are housed. as 引导的定语从句多用在such as和the same as的限定性定从中,其他就是非限定性定从了,跟which的用法一样。 Such persons as you think are very common nowadays. I have the same dress as you have. That:不定代词、序数词、最高级、all、only、little Which:非限定定从、介词+which 非限定定从可表示状语关系 Computers, which have many good points, cannot replace man in many aspects. 4)表语从句:be动词后的从句就是表语从句,that不充当成分。 5)同位语从句:作用同定语从句,但其先行词多为表示概念、事实类的名词,如fact, idea, concept, opinion等。 3.动词前为主语从句,be动词后为表语从句,实义动词后为宾语从句,名词后为定语从句。
状语从句:注意特殊连词 时间状语从句:表示各种时间关系,连接词有when, as, since, for, as soon as, directly, the moment, the instant, the minute, hardly(scarcely)…when, no sooner…than Hardly had I entered the room when the telephone rang.

Ten dollars is not a large sum. The United States is an advanced country. 9)就近一致指的是谓语要和靠近它的主语保持一致,多指there、here结构,还有either…or、neither…nor这样的并列句。 十、并列关系 并列连词连接的句子and, but or, while both…and, not only…but also, either…or, neither…nor
