A.persuaded B. advised C. hoped D. suggested
2. I was able at last to ____ my mother to follow my advice. A.suggest B. advise C. persuade D. leave off
3. While shopping, people sometimes can’t help ____ into buying something they don’t really need.
A.to persuade B. persuading C. being persuade D. be persuaded
(3) 辨析:advise表示“劝告”的动作,不看结果,而persuade强调“已经说服”;advise可接动词的-ing 形式作宾语,也可接that引导的宾语从句(必须用虚拟语气即should+动词原形),而persuade不能。
My friends advised him to see a doctor,but he refused all of them.Who can persuade him? 我的朋友们建议他去看医生,但他拒绝了所有的人。谁能说服他?
3 辨析: Finally/at last/in the end
finally 一般指一系列事物或论点的顺序的最后项内容,或用在动词前,表示“等了好久……才”,没有感情色彩.
at last只能指时间位置,不能指时间顺序,在意思上是指经过周折、等待、耽搁到”最后、终于”(出现所期待的结果),常常带有较浓厚的感情色彩.
in the end可与at last和finally通用.但若出现了非期待中的结果,用in the end, 还可以用于预卜未来。
1)They talked about it for hours. _______ they decided not to go. 2)The children arrived home _________________after the storm. 3) My dream will come true
4) The war lasted four years before the North won _______________. 5) Your idea will turn out right _________. 6) ______, I want to thank you for helping me.

4. It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends.
是我姐姐首先想到骑自行车沿湄公河从它的源头行走到入海口。 这是一个强调句。强调句的结构是: It was/is+强调成分+that-/who-分句
如果强调的部分是人,可用who,也可用that, 强调其他成分与内容都用that。 强调时间和地点不能用when或where,只用that。 e. g.我看这部电影是在上海。 (强调地点状语)
It was in Shanghai that I saw the film.
根据上下文和语义意图,说话人可以通过强调句分别强调主语, 宾语, 状语, 使之成为信息中心。
e. g ⑴ All the members held ②a meeting ③in the club ④ yesterday. ⑴It was all the members that/who held a meeting in the club yesterday. (强调主语, was不能换用were)
②It was a meeting that all the members held in the club yesterday. (强调宾语a meeting)
③It was in the club that all the members held a meeting yesterday. (强调地点状语,that不可换用 where)
④It was yesterday that all the members held a meeting in the club. (强调时间状语that不可换用 where)

6. Although she didn’t know the best way of getting get to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly. 尽管她不知道旅行的最佳方式, 但是她还是坚决主张她来合理安排这次旅行。
1) although, though引导让步状语从句不能再和but, and, however连用, 但可以和副词yet, still连用。
although从句多放在句首, though从句可在主句前,中,后任何位置,而且though可以作副词用于句末,作 “但是,不过”讲,而although无此用法。
[考例] ______ he has limited technical knowledge, the old worker has a lot of experience.
A. Since B. Unless C. As D. Although
[点拨]D 根据句中的limited knowledge和a lot of experience构成对比,可知这是一个让步状语从句,故用although引导。since既然; unless除非……; as 因为。
2) insist : declare firmly 坚持认为,坚持主张 ※insist on/upon one’s doing sth坚持做,坚决做 e.g. I insisted on/upon his coming with us.
※insist that +从句 “坚持说”(后表示一个事实), 后接的从句用陈述语气, 既按需要选择时态。
e.g. He insisted that he hadn’t stolen the girl’s handbag.
※insist that sb. (should) do sth. 坚决主张做某事, 后接的宾语从句常用虚拟语气, 既 “should +v.”
e.g. Mary was ill. Her parents insisted that she (should) see a doctor. 高考链接

3) Who will care for your child if you are out?

本句中的seem后面跟了不定式结构,意 为“ ……看起来好像…… ”。现对seem的用法讲
一.seem常常和不定式,形容词,分词,名词和介词短语搭配。如: 1.seem+不定式(短语)
a)I seemed to hear a voice in the distance . b)Your advice seems to be doing me a favor . c)I seem to have caught a cold .
注意:1seem后跟不定式(短语)时,要注意不定式所表示动作发生的时间,以此来确定不定式的时态。
2 . seem后不定式的否定式习惯上用 don’t 来代替,(放在seem 前),如: You don’t seem to be quite yourself today ( =You seem not be quite yourself today ) 3.seem +形容词
a) She seems quite happy today.
b) The enemy seems powerful but in fact it is weak.
[注]此句式出可看作是seem+to be+adj句式的一种简化形式。 如例a可转换为:
She seems to be quite happy today. 例b可转换为:
The enemy seems to be powerful but in fact it is weak.
但目前由于英语的发展,seem+to be+形容词结构的用法已越来越少,seem+adj的结构已趋成型,属口语语体。 4.Seem+分词
a) The situation seemed quite encouraging.
b) The news seems exciting.
c) They seems interested in the film.
[注]seem后用现在分词还是过去分词取决于分词本身的逻辑主语,如句中的主语(盍作的执行者)是分词的逻辑主语,用现在分词,反之用过去分词。 5、seem+名词
a) She seems a clever girl.
b) Her mother seems a teacher.
c) It seemed a long time before my turn came. 6.seem+介词短语
They seemed in high spirits.
二、seem常用于it作形式主语的“It seems/seemed that……”结构,如: a) It seems that you were lying.
b) It seemed that he had been a scientist.
c) It seems impossible that he will be here tomorrow. [注]1)在这一句式中,常省去that,如例a可改为: It seems you were lying.
2)间或在seem后可跟一形容词,如例c.
三、seem常用于由as if/though引导的从句中,如: a) It seems as if it is going to rain.
b) It seems as though our plan’ll be perfect. c) It seems as if he knew nothing about that. d) It seems as if it was/were spring already.
[注]在这种句式中,如从句所叙述的情实现的可能性比较大,从句谓语用陈述语气
,如a,b两例;若实现的可能性较小,或根本不可能实现,从句的谓语则用虚拟语气,如c,d 两例。
四、seem通常用在“It seems(seemed)to sb(that)……”的结构中,这种结构常用来表示“行为”的主体,例:
a) It seems to us a good chance.
b) It seems to the emperor that the people were right. c) It seems to me eveyythingis all right.
五、seems也常用在“there seem(s) to be”句式中,用来代替be,作句子的谓语。如: a) There seems to be no point in refusing.
b) There seemed to be something the matter with him.
c) There doesn’t seem to be too much hope of our team beating theirs. [注]1)在这一结构中,seem表示“似乎有”、“看来”的意思,如:
There seem to be a lot of things to do .(=It seems as if there were a lot of things to do.)
2)There seem(s) to be +n”这个结构的否定形式为“There seem(s) to be +no+n.”(如例a)或(“There doesn’t seem to be +n.”(如例c).
六、seem有时也同人称代词I连用,意为“感到好像、觉得似乎”等意,如: a)I seem unable to solve it right now.看来我无法立刻解决它。
b)I seem to have seen him somewhere before.我好像以前在什么地方见过他。 七、seem还常常同like搭配。如:
[注]这种句式表达的意思同“seem+to be +n.”结构表达的意思基本相同,故两种句式可替换,如:
The girl seems like a bird/to be a bird.
at an altitude of = at a height of 在海拔……米处
e.g. The plane is flying at a height / altitude of 10,000 feet.
注意:at 在此处表 “在……处/时, 以……”后接年龄, 速度, 长宽深高, 价格, 费用等 在…岁时 以..的价格 在….深度\\宽度处 以….为代价 在…距离处
答案:at the age of at a high / low price at a depth/width of at the cost of at a distance of
10. When I told her the air would be hard to breath and it would be very cold… 当我告诉她将呼吸困难, 天气严寒……
主语 + be + adj.+ to do sth. 是一常用句式既不定式用主动形式表达被动含义 e.g. The problem is really hard to work out.
My boss is easy to deal with.
注意:不定式和主语之间是逻辑动宾关系,使用及物动词的主动形式,因此不及物动词要加相应的介词。
这一结构中的形容词往往是表示心理活动的,接不定式时, 不定式的逻辑主语是句子的主语, 主动用to do, 被动用to be done;也可以接从句。
这类形容词有surprised, moved, disappointed, pleased, happy, sad, delighted, sorry, interested, glad, worried, etc.
