2008年职称英语考试真题核心语法解析(2)

    The Need to Remember
    Some people say (1)they have no memory at all: “I just can't remember a thing!” but of course we all have a memory. Our memory tells us(2) who we are. Our memory helps us to make use in the present of(3)what we have learnt in the past.
    In fact we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory (4)that they can remember exactly (5)what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture.
    Our verbal(言语的)memory helps us remember words and figures(6)we may have heard but not seen or written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates, or a recipe.
    With our emotional(情感的)memory, we recall situations or places(7) where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell, taste, touch and sound, and for performing physical movements.

    2008年理工类B/C级阅读判断考题的文章中从句结构共出现了16次, 其中名词性的从句(包括主语从句, 宾语从句, 表语从句和同位语从句)出现了9次((1),(2),(3),(5),(9),(10),(12),(13),(14) ); 定语从句出现了4次((4),(6),(7),(15)); 状语从句出现了3次((8),(11),(16))。
    9个名词性从句中具体涉及到宾语从句((1),(2),(3),(5),(9),(10),(12),(13))和表语从句(14), 举例分析如下:
    宾语从句:
    Our memory helps us to make use in the present of(3)what we have learnt in the past.
    译文:我们的记忆力帮助我们能够在现在使用我们过去所学的东西。
    提示:
    make use of 是习惯搭配结构, 其含义为“使用,利用”。
    what引导名词性从句时常常翻译为“……的(东西)”。
    They may forget (9)what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance(记忆) of (10) (11)when they were very young.
    译文:他们可能忘掉了他们几小时以前做过的事情,但是他们能清楚地想起他们小的时候做过的事情。
    提示:
    该句中符号10处省略了宾语从句“ what they have done”。 省略现象在英语中较常见, 也是职称英语阅读考题中的一个考点。省略是为了避免单调的重复, 一般是省略句子前面部分出现过的相同的结构。
    表语从句:
    It is(14) as though we remember only the outline of a story.
    译文:这就好像我们只是记住了故事的概要。
    提示:
    as though(= as if) 是连词性的短语结构, 其含义为“好像”。
    4个定语从句分别涉及到由that引导的定语从句((4),(6), where引导的定语从句(7)和 in which引导的定语从句(16), 举例分析如下:
    With our emotional(情感的)memory, we recall situations or places(7) where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness.
