2009年成人高考英语语法归纳四：不定代词

　　不定代词

　　一、“every”(每一个)只作为定语使用，即必须在其后加上单数可数名词构成名词短语，它不可与everyone(每一个)混淆。 everyone相当于名词，它不可修饰其他名词，只作主语或宾语

　　1) Every [A] knows that hospitals are institutions where the sick are treated， but how many [B] realize that they were once [C] homes for the indigent and the friendless [D] ?

　　2) Everyone [A] child in the United States must [B] receive [C] some form of educational instruction [D] .

　　例题解析

　　1) A错。every不可单独充当句子成分，应在其后加上person或改为everyone.

　　2) A错。改为Every，修饰child.

　　二、“much”和“many”分别修饰不可数名词和可数名词，可作为代词(如much of)和形容词使用

　　3) Food seasoning plays an important [A] role in the cooking [B] customs of much [C] cultures in [D] the world.

　　4) The general sales tax has been [A] a major source of income for state governments， much [B] of which derive more than half [C] of their budgets from [D] it.

　　5) Data received from [A] two spacecraft indicate that there is many evidence [B] that huge thunderstorms are now occurring [C] around the equator [D] of the planet Saturn.

　　例题解析

　　3) C错。应改为of many，因为被修饰词cultures为可数名词，故其修饰语应用many，而much要修饰不可数名词。

　　4) B错。应改用many，因此处所指代的是可数名词governments(复数)，many在本句中为代词，作非限定性定语从句的主语。

　　5) B错。应改为much evidence，因为evidence(证据，迹象)为不可数名词，故应用much来修饰。
