carry out:开展;贯彻,实行,执行
their –people;
this (practice) -- take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice
小结:
1. 代词通常前指,指代前文中出现的内容。
2. 在确认代词的指代对象时,要注意该代词所在的结构在其所在句子中具有的含义。e.g. their (shoes) – people; their (feet) – people; this (practice) -- take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice
3. 同一句中, 相邻句中同一代词的指代内容一致;e.g. people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out
在2003年综合类C级别的阅读理解文章中,在2003年理工类C级阅读理解的文章中都“不约而同”地在阅读文章中对代词的指代内容和冠词的指代内容进行“直接”的考察,现在职称英语考试已经基本上不对不定冠词进行考察了,对于不定冠词a/an,只需要有这样的认识:它们与可数名词连用,表示种类或者数量上的单数。如:
e.g. I am a student. 我是学生。(a student表示“类别”)
e.g. A man left a message to you. (a man(一个人)和a message(一条信息)都是表示单数的概念。)
