二.语句层次
⒈否定句
㈢双重否定句
①其形式一为:主语+cannot+help/refrain/keep+from+动名词。Help from, refrain from, keep from等词具有“抑制,忍住”等否定含义,与cannot等连用,具有双重否定的意义。
例:Having won the gold medal,___________________(他禁不住喜形于色)。
答案:he could not refrain from showing his pleasure.
(本题考察双重否定句,refrain from的意思是“克制,避免”)
②其形式二为:主语+cannot+but/choose but/help but+动词原形。
例:_______________________(我们别无选择只好另投旅馆住宿),
since all the hotels here are with signs “Be Booked Up”.
答案:We could not help but look for another one to stay in.
(本题考察双重否定句,“cannot help but”句型,注意这里but后要用动词原形。)
③其形式三为:(There be)no+主语+but+谓语。在此句型中,but是关系代词,即代替前面的名词,又引导后面的从句,并且具有否定意义。
例:He is so devoted to his experiment that______________________(没有人感觉不到他对事业的热爱)。
答案:not a man/no man but felt his love to his career
(本题考察双重否定句型,“no+主语+but+谓语”,no相当于not a 或 not any)
1.___________________(我们忍不住笑起来)when he finished the story.
2.______________________(人们不能不被他的事迹所感动)after knowing the bachelor has adopted five orphans.
