Neither Daisy nor the Browns could remember where () friends lived.A herB hisC yoursD their

Neither Daisy nor the Browns could remember where () friends lived. A her B his C yours D their

题目解答

答案

我们来一步一步分析这个题目:

题目是:
"Neither Daisy nor the Browns could remember where () friends lived."

我们要在括号处选择一个合适的代词,使得句子语法正确、语义通顺。

第一步:分析句子结构

句子主语是:Neither Daisy nor the Browns

这是一个由 neither...nor... 连接的并列主语,表示“Daisy 和 Browns 一家人都不记得……”。

  • Daisy 是一个人的名字,单数。
  • the Browns 指的是“布朗一家”,是一个家庭的姓氏前加 the,表示复数(相当于 the Brown family),是复数形式。

根据英语语法中 neither A nor B 的主谓一致原则,谓语动词和代词要与最靠近的主语(即 B 部分)保持一致。

但注意,这里不是谓语动词,而是空格处要填一个形容词性物主代词,用来修饰后面的名词 friends。

所以我们要判断:这个“friends”是谁的?空格处的代词应该和主语在人称和数上一致。

第二步:分析选项

选项如下:

A. her —— 她的(单数,女性)
B. his —— 他的(单数,男性)
C. yours —— 你的(名词性物主代词,不能修饰名词)
D. their —— 他/她/他们的(复数)

注意:yours 是名词性物主代词,相当于 “your + 名词”,它不能直接修饰名词。比如不能说 “yours friends”,这是错误的。正确说法是 “your friends”。

所以,C 选项 “yours” 语法错误,排除。

第三步:主语的复数性判断

虽然主语是 “Neither Daisy nor the Browns”,但 the Browns 是复数,而且是更靠近谓语和后面成分的部分。

在英语中,当使用 neither A nor B 时,动词或修饰语通常与就近的主语一致。

例如:

  • Neither he nor his parents are coming.(动词与复数主语 "parents" 一致)
  • Neither his parents nor he is coming.(动词与单数主语 "he" 一致)

同样,这里的代词修饰 friends,应该与主语的逻辑一致。

由于 the Browns 是复数,而且是家庭,通常我们说 “their friends” 是合理的。

即使 Daisy 是单数,但 “neither...nor...” 连接的两个主语,整体表达的是“两者都不”,而后面的名词 “friends” 是复数,也暗示我们使用复数代词。

此外,如果选 her 或 his,只代表 Daisy 的,但 the Browns 是一家人,不可能用 her 或 his 来代表一家人的朋友。

所以:

  • A(her):只代表 Daisy 的,但 the Browns 也包括在内,不合适。
  • B(his):性别不明,且 the Browns 是一家人,不是单数男性,不合适。
  • C(yours):语法错误,不能修饰名词。
  • D(their):复数物主代词,可以指代 “Daisy and the Browns” 这些人共同的朋友,或他们各自的朋友们。

第四步:语义合理性

句子意思是:“Daisy 和 Browns 一家人都不记得他们的朋友们住在哪里。”

这里的 “their” 并不是指他们共有的朋友,而是泛指“他们各自的朋友们”,这在英语中是常见的用法,称为 collective their 或 indefinite their,用来避免性别指定或涵盖复数主体。

因此,用 their 是最自然、最正确的选择。

最终答案:

D. their

✅ 正确句子是:
Neither Daisy nor the Browns could remember where their friends lived.

答案:\boxed{D}

解析

本题考查 neither...nor... 连接并列主语时,形容词性物主代词的使用规则。解题思路是先明确 neither...nor... 连接主语时的主谓一致原则,再根据句子中名词的单复数以及语义来选择合适的形容词性物主代词。

  1. 分析句子主语:
    • 句子主语是 “Neither Daisy nor the Browns”,“Daisy” 是单数,“the Browns” 表示 “布朗一家”,是复数。
    • 根据 neither...nor... 连接主语时,谓语动词和代词通常与最靠近的主语保持一致的原则,这里空格处的代词应与 “the Browns” 保持一致。
  2. 分析选项:
    • 选项 A “her” 是单数女性的形容词性物主代词,不能用来指代 “the Browns” 这个复数概念,所以 A 选项错误。
    • 选项 B “his” 是单数男性的形容词性物主代词,同样不能指代 “the Browns” 这个复数概念,所以 B 选项错误。
    • 选项 C “yours” 是名词性物主代词,不能直接修饰名词 “friends”,所以 C 选项错误。
    • 选项 D “their” 是复数的形容词性物主代词,可以指代 “Daisy and the Browns” 这些人共同的朋友或他们各自的朋友们,符合句子的语义和语法要求。
  3. 验证语义合理性:
    • 句子表达的是 “Daisy 和布朗一家都不记得他们的朋友们住在哪里”,“their” 在这里用来泛指他们各自的朋友们,语义通顺合理。

  • question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
