3.理解so…that和though引导的状语从句及动词不定式和疑问词连用、动词定式作定语的用法。常见题型为句型转换题。 三.重、难点突破
1.过去完成时的用法和构成,教材有叙述,在使用这个时态时要注意它与过去时有关系,即所说的“过去的过去”,以下介词短语常用于过去完成时。by+过去时间,by the end of+过去时间,by the time+从句(过去时)等。另外要注意,在过去完成时中,短暂动作动词不能与for+时段,since+时点连用。
2.so…that意为“如此……以致……”,that后常借结果状语从句。So…that中间是带形容词还是副词,由谓语动词来决定。so …that从句可以变为too… (for sb.) to do或…enough (for sb. to do)的简单句。 3.关于so与such
这两个词都表示“这么”、“这样”、“如此”之意,但两者用法不同。such是形容词,修饰名词或名词短语,其用法:such(a/an)adj. +n. (注意:若名词前有many、much、few、little等词时只能用so) so是副词,常置于所修饰的形容词、副词之前,其用法:so+adj.+a/an+n.。so还有代词用法。 4.英文书信格式
一份正规的信应主要包括四个部分:
1)右上角是写信人的地址和写信日期。地址应从小写到大,地址下面要写日期。 2)对收信人的称呼。一般称呼前都要用Dear。 3)内容。这是信件的主体。
4)签名。签名前应写Yours这类的字样。 5)关于购物用语。 四.典型例题 [例1] 动词填空
He ______ (tell) to return his book to the library yesterday morning.
分析 此题根据句意“他”应归还书籍,不是自己告知,而是“被人告知”,所以这里应填被动语态形式。由于句尾yesterday morning表明过去时态,故应填was told. [例2] ________ of the students are girls in our class.
A. Two three B. Two threes C. Two thirds D. Second three
分析 此题考查学生对英语分数的表达。英语的分数,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,先读分子,后读分母。当分子大于1时,分母就加s,变为复数,故此题答案为C。 [例3] He likes the book but it _______ too much. A. pays B. costs C. takes D. spends
分析 此题考查学生对同义词的理解。spend, pay, take, cost都有“花费”之意,但它们有区别。take表示“花费时间”,主语是动词不定式。It takes sb. some time to do sth. pay“付款”常与for搭配;spend“花费时间/钱”,常与on搭配,其形式为spend…on, spend…(in) doing sth.。pay和spend的主语应为“某人”。但cost一词“值……钱”主语应为“某物/某事”。故答案为B。 [例4] 将两句并合为一复合句。
The words on the notice board are very small. I can't see them clearly.
The words on the notice board are ______ small ______I can't see them clearly.
分析 此题考查学生对语言的运用所掌握的能力。此题用so…that两词可以把两句合并起来,使它成为一个结果状语从句。即“通知墙报上的字是如此小以致我看不清楚。”另外,此题还可以一个简单句:The words on the notice board are too mall for me to see clearly. [例5] 同义句转换。
You can do your homework today or you can do it tomorrow. ______ today or tomorrow ______ OK for you to do your homework.
分析 此题关键之处是要理解原句之意。同时选用正确的连接词。此题中已有“or”提醒学生应用either…or。“either…or”有“要么……要么”、“或者……或者”之意。后一空格是考查学生either…or其谓语动词“数”的问题,由于tomorrow是单数故后格填is。 [例6] 填空
—_______the population of Germany? —About eighty-one million.
分析 问“人口多少”常用What’s the population…?来表达。所以此题应用固定结构,即填What’s。
[例7] 词语替换。
Your shoes are worn out. You should buy a new pair instead. A. too big B. too small C. too old D. too cheap
分析 此题考查学生对词语的理解。be worn out是“被穿破”之意,即“旧了”。而不存在“太大,太不,太便宜”的问题,所以答案为C。 [例8] 正误例析
1)那群女孩继续向前移动。 误:The group of girls all moved. 正:The group of girls all moved on.
分析 英语中有些表示位移的动词,如pass, go, move, walk等与on连用,往往含有动作的继续之意。如:pass on 继续传递,go on继续进行,move on继续向前移动,walk on 继续走动等。
2)你能告诉我去博物馆的路吗?
误:Can you tell me the way go to the museum? 正:Can you tell me the way to the museum?
分析the way to…这一结构中to…是介词短语,作定语,修饰the way。英语中类似这种表达还有:the answer to the question问题的答案,the key to the door门上的钥匙等。另外有关问路的句型还有:Can you tell me how to get to the …?Can you tell me how I can get to the…? Can you show me the way…?How can I get to…?等。
