语法与词汇

The president's tone of voice was so much that the students knew that the university authorities took the incident seriously.

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】

[译文] 校长语气非常严肃,学生们都知道校方很重视这件事。
(1) 画线部分错误分析。
本题的考点为so that和 such that引导结果状语从句的区别。so是副词,与形容词或副 词连用,其结构为so +adj./adv.+ that从句; such是形容词,其结构为such +n.+ that..., such在此句中充当句子的表语。本题强调的是校长语气的程度之深,且在本句中作表语, 因此本题正确答案是D 。
(2)选项分析。
根据以上分析,本题考查结果状语从句,故排除A 和 C 选项。A 选项such as表示举 例时意为“ 例如,诸如此类的” ,相当于like 或 for example; such as用作关系代词时, 亦可引导定语从句。C 选项as such主要有两个意思:① (与否定词连用)表 示 “严格 来说”,例如 I am not a learner as such — I used to ride a bike years ago (严格说来,我并 不完全是一个初学者— 几年前我经常骑自行车) ;② (用于名词后)表 示 “ 本身”,“像所指的人(或—物)那样”,例如 Mr. Simon said he was not against taxes as such (西蒙先生说他不反对这样的税收) 。
[知识拓展]语法拓展: so that与 such that。
so that和 such that都可以用来引导结果状语从句,意为“ 如此……以至于…...”
(1) so是副词,与形容词或副词连用,其结构是so + adj.(adv.) + that从句。
e.g. He is so good a doctor that everybody loves and respects him.
他是一位好医生,大家都尊敬并爱戴他。
注意:当名词前面有many, much, few,little 等表示数量多少的限定词时,应该用 so,而不能用such。
e.g. There were so many people in the street watching the fire that firefighters could not get close to the building.
街上围观大火的人太多了,消防队员无法靠近大楼。
(2) such是形容词,它所修饰的名词可以是可数名词,也可以是不可数名词;名词前面 可以带形容词,也可以不带。如果其后是单数可数名词,前面需加不定冠词a或an。因此, such ... that...的句型结构可分为以下三种:
① such + a (n)(+adj.)+ 单数可数名词+ that从句。
e.g. He was such an honest man that he was praised by the teacher.
他非常诚实,因而受到了老师的表扬。
② such (+adj.)+ 复数可数名词+ that从句。
e.g. They are such interesting books that I want to read them once more.
这些书非常有趣,我想再读一遍。
③such (+adj.)+ 不可数名词+ that从句。
e.g. It was such bad weather that I had to stay at home.
天气太糟,我不得不呆在家里。
或 The weather was such bad that I had to stay at home.
注意:当单数名词前有形容词时, 既可用so,也可用such,但不定冠词的位置却有所不同。
e.g. This is such an important meeting that you should attend it.
(=This is so important a meeting that you should attend it.)
这是一次很重要的会议,你一定要参加。
