半系动词的实例解析
半系动词通常可以和形容词连用，有些半系动词可以和介词短语或asif等连词连用。现将半系动词分为四类进行讨论。
1、“感官动词”类：look feel smell taste sound等，例如：
(1)The story sounds_______.(MET89)

解析 此七题的答案分别是DABCDBD。此类半系动词通常可以直接搭配形容词或like或asif等结构。此类半系动词一般不使用进行时或被动语态。第(7)题的asif后实际上省略了hewanted.
2、“状态变化”类：get turn go come become grow fall make等，例如：
(1)--Howlong_____eachotherbeforethey______married
--Foraboutayear.(NMET93)
A.havetheyknown get

(5)--Howaretheteamplaying
