云南 陈培良
在高考英语中,各类题型都涉及一致性问题,阅读理解、短文改错题考到代词的指代;完形填空、语法填空、短文改错题考到行文逻辑一致;语法填空、短文改错题考查主谓一致、时态一致、词性一致;在书面表达题中考生在一致性问题上也常常出错,本文结合高考试题进行例析,希望能给考生一些启发。
在英语句子里,谓语动词必须和主语在人称和数上保持一致,大致可归纳为三个原则,即语法一致、逻辑一致和就近一致原则。
短文改错例1:(2014• 辽宁卷)The early morning barking have been disturbing us as we are often up all night with the baby.
【解析】have改为has , 本句的主语是动名词barking,作主语时,谓语动词要使用单数形式。
短文改错例2:(2014• 四川卷)I am going to talk about what you should do when a fire alarm go off.
【解析】go改为goes, 本句的主语a fire alarm为单数,谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式goes。
语法填空例1:( 2016•全国新课标卷Ⅱ)Leaving the less important things until tomorrow 43(be) often acceptable.
【解析】动名词作主语,谓语用单数is。
语法填空例2:( 2015•全国新课标卷Ⅰ ) Yangshuo 67(be) really beautiful.
【解析】主语单数,谓语用单数is。
时态一致主要是指并列谓语时态一致,主从复合句时态一致,上下文时态一致和时间状语与句子时态一致。
短文改错例1:( 2016•全国新课标卷I ) Some people even had to wait outside.
【解析】前后句都是现在时,故had改成have。
短文改错例2:(2015•四川卷) As I tell you last time,I made three new friends here.

语法填空例1:(2015•全国新课标卷I): It was raining lightly when I 61(arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn.
【解析】根据前后句时态可知用一般过去时,故填arrived。
语法填空例2:(2014•全国新课标卷Ⅱ) A boy on a bike 65(catch) my attention.He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms.
【解析】根据前后句时态可知用一般过去时,故填caught。
代词指代一致是指代词与所指代的名词在性、数、格上的一致,代词的作用是用来指代上下文所出现的名词以及名词词组等。短文改错题中代词的考查是难点,考生不易找到,解题时要考虑上下文中代词的使用是否一致。
短文改错例1:(2015•全国新课标卷I)We must find ways to protect your environment.
【解析】代词用法错误, 应该变your为our,意思是保护我们的环境。
短文改错例2:(2015•四川卷) If you were me , would you talk to him?
【解析】应该变him为them,根据上文可知,作者交了三个朋友,故用them而非him。
语 法 填 空例1:(2016•全国新课标卷I) I held a lively three-month-old twin that had been rejected by 68(it)mother.

【解析】句意:带着窒息的烟雾, 后面为名词,故用its。
在英语中,当非谓语作状语时,逻辑主语应与句子主语保持一致,如Given more time, we could have done the work better.本文的逻辑一致性指的是文章中上下文之间,句际之间,各种关系之间的一致,即行文逻辑一致。
短文改错例1:(2016•全国新课标卷Ⅱ) If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money.
【解析】前后句是并列关系,故but改成and。
短文改错例2:(2015•全国新课标卷I)There the air is clean or the mountains are green.

语法填空例2:(2008•广东卷)He was very tired after doing this for a whole day, 37 he felt very happy...
【解析】根据句意可知,very happy与前面very tired是转折关系,故用but。

英语单词在句子中的功用是不同的,在使用时应该考虑一致性,如形容词修饰名词,副词修饰形容词、动词等。
短文改错例1:( 2016•全国新课标卷I ) Instead, he hopes that our business will grow steady.
【解析】应该用副词steadily修饰动词grow。
