句型探究:

1. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing.

我住在石家庄,是离北京不远的一个城市。

在本句中,a city not far from Beijing是Shijiazhuang的同位语,其中not far from Beijing是形容词短语作定语,相当于定语从句which is not far from Beijing。

通常情况下,作同位语的有通常情况下,作同位语的有以下形式:

You must have heard of Charles Dickens, the great British writer.

The manager gave the work to us two.

We saw a woman teacher in front of us, old and thin

There is only one way to help you, namely, to work harder than before.

There is no doubt that we will finally communicate in English freely.

2. Every room has a computer with a special screen, almost as big as a cinema screen.

每间教室都有一个和电影院屏幕大小差不多大的特殊屏幕。

as…as…表示“和……一样……”。两as之间使用形容词或副词的原级。

My book is as interesting as yours. 我的书和你的书一样有趣。

He can run as fast as I can. 他能跑得和我一样快。

其否定形式为not as/so…as,意为“与……不一样/不如……”。

The teacher doesn't jump as (so) high as I. 那位老师跳得不如我高。

知识拓展:

“as…as”结构虽有比较之意,但是,在表示同一个人或物时,就没有比较之意了,译为“不但……而且……,又……又……”。

Joan is as diligent as she is beautiful. 琼不但勤奋而且美丽。

3. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen.

老师是一位姓沈的非常热心的女士。

called Ms. Shen 是过去分词短语作定语,与所修饰的词之间存在着逻辑上的被动关系,相当于定语从句who/that was called Ms. Shen。又如:

Do you know a person named/called John Wilson?

你知道一个叫约翰·威尔逊的人吗?

We visited the new library built three weeks ago.

我们参观了三周前建成的图书馆。

注:短语一般放在被修饰词之后,单个过去分词放在被修饰词之前

4. We’re using a new textbook and Ms Shen’s method of teaching is nothing like that of the teachers at my Junior High schools.

我们用的是一本新教材,沈老师的教方法完全不同于我初中老师的教学方法。

(1)nothing like

①not at all like 完全不像;根本不像

It looks nothing like a horse. 它看上去根本不像一匹马。

② not nearly, not at all 完全不,根本没有;

I had nothing like enough time to answer all the questions.

我根本来不及回答所有的问题。

(2)在这个句子中,that 指代Ms Shen’s method of teaching。代词that可用来代替前面提到的事物(单数名词或者不可数名词),以避免重复这个名词,但必须是这一名词在第二次出现时有后置定语。

The weather in Beijing is not as good as that in Dalian.

北京的天气不如大连的天气好。

The sweater he wears today is different from that he wore yesterday.

他今天穿的羊毛衫和昨天的不同。

注:如果前面提到的是复数名词,后面就用those来代替。

The books on that desk are better than those on this desk.

那个桌子上的书比这个桌子上的书要好。

5. I don't think I will be bored in Ms. Shen's class!

 我认为我不会对沈老师的课厌烦的。

本句属于否定转移。英语中有些动词如:think, believe, expect, suppose, 等,当它们后面接一个具有否定意义的宾语从句时,通常要把主句的动词变为否定式,而宾语从句中的谓语动词用肯定形式,这种现象称为“否定的转移”。如:
We don't think there is anything interesting in your pictures.

我们认为你的画并没有什么有趣的地方。

I don't believe what he said is true.我认为他说的不是真话。

注:在反意疑问句中,若主句部分是第一人称单数时,则反意疑问部分需与从句中的主语和谓语保持一致,否则要与主句的主语和谓语保持一致。如:
I don't think it's going to rain tomorrow, is it?     我认为明不会下雨,对吗?
You don't think I have made mistakes, don’t you?  你认为我没有犯什么错误,是吗?

6. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys.

也就是说,女同学的数量是男同学的3倍。

倍数表示法:“A+倍数+ as +…as B”解释为:“A是B 的多少倍。”

There are half as many new words in this module as in that one.

这个模块的生词只有那个模块的一半。

知识拓展:

倍数的表达方式常用的有4种形式

①A+is…times +adj.+ as +原级+as +B

②A+is…times +adj.+ as +比较级+as +B

③A+is…times +the size/length/height/width/depth of B

④The size/length/height/width/depth of A+ is times of B

例如:这个教室是那个教室的4倍长。

This classroom is four times as long as that one.

This classroom is three times longer than that one.

This classroom is four times the length of that one.

The length of this classroom is four times of that one.

注: time 表示倍数,一般只限于表示基数词在内的三倍或三倍以上,若表示两倍可用副词twice 或形容词double。 time 表示的倍数也可以用分数,百分数或某些表程度的副词替换。

The street is twice the length of that one. 这条街是那条街的两倍长。

Ten is double five.  十是五的二倍。

This pencil is a quarter as long as that one.  这枝铅笔是那枝的四分之一长。

Our room is 60% the size of theirs. 我们房间的面积是他们房间面积的60%。

7. The school year is divided into two semesters, the first of which is September through December, and the second is January through May.

一学年有两个学期,第一学期从九月到十二月,第二学期从一月到五月。

本句中含有一个介词+关系代词构成的非限制性定语从句。“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句时,关系代词只能用which,whom,不能用that,也不能省略。如:

We live in a house, in front of which is a small river. 我们住在前面有一条小河的房子里。

知识拓展:

(1)介词+关系代词的常见结构
①介词+which/whom
  This is the famous singer about whom we have often talked.
  这就是那位我们经常谈论的著名歌唱家。

②名词+of+ which/whom
  Please pass me the book the cover of which is blue.

在介词+关系代词引导的定语从句中,应注意介词的正确选择。
 ① 根据后面动词和介词的搭配关系选择。
  In the dark street there was not a single person to whom she could turn for help.
  在漆黑的街道上没有一个她可以求助的人。(turn to sb. for help是固定搭配词组)
②根据与前面名词的搭配关系选择。
  Can you imagine a proper situation in which the expression can be used
  你能设想一个使用这个词语的场合吗?(a situation前面一般用in)
③有时须同时考虑动词和介词的搭配关系及介词和名词的搭配关系。
    Is that the house in which you once lived
   那就是你曾经住过的房子吗?(live in the house)
④根据所要表达的意思来确定。
  This is my pair of glasses, without which I cannot see clearly.
  这是我的眼镜,离了它我什么也看不清。

8. Oh, really? So have I. Which language are you studying?

哦,是吗?我也是。你在学什么语言?

“so +助动词/情态动词/系动词+主语”表示“(另一事物)也……”

He is sixteen, so am I. 他十六了,我也是。

Tom likes playing football, so do I. 汤姆喜欢踢足球,我也是。

知识拓展:

(1)表示否定意义时用“neither/nor +助动词/情态动词/系动词+主语”,意为“(另一事物)也不……”。

He doesn’t like math, neither do I. 他不喜欢数学,我也不喜欢(数学)。

I don’t know about it, nor/neither do I care. 我不知道这件事,也不关心。

(2)“so +主语+助动词/情态动词/系动词”表示对之前或对方所说的情况表示赞同或证实,意为“同一个人或事物)确实……”

—Mary is good at music.玛丽音乐很好。

—So she is. (是的,的确很好。)

—They have moved away. (他们已搬走了。)

—So they have. (是的,他们已搬走了。)

注意:(1)助动词及其时态的选择要根据前句确定。

He has finished his homework, so has Mary.(so have the other students.)

他已经完成了他的家庭作业,玛丽也完成了。(其他学生也完成了。)

The teacher will go to America, so will the students.

老师要去美国,学生们也要去。

A. So he has ; so he has        B. So he has ; so have you

C. So has he ; so have you      D. So have you ; so he has

2. Tom told you that there wasn’t anyone in the room at that time,      ?

A. was there     B. wasn’t there   C. didn’t he      D. did he

3. The international agreement, _____ to encourage children not to smoke and help people kick the habit, was signed on February 27.

A. intended  B. being intended   C. intending D. to intend

4. The pollution caused by industrial waste is more serious than ______ of organic farming.

C. twice as many as   D. as twice many as

6. Dorothy was able to switch between German, Polish and Russian, all of ______ she spoke fluently.

A. whom  B. that   C. which  D. them

答案及解析:

1. B。解析:句意:他的确(取得很大的进步),你也是如此。根据句意应选B。

2. C。解析:在反意疑问句中,若主句部分是第一人称单数时,则反意疑问部分需与从句中的主语和谓语保持一致,否则要与主句的主语和谓语保持一致。
3. A。解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:旨在劝告儿童不要吸烟并帮助人们戒掉这种习惯的国际协议于2月27日签订。tended to encourage children not to smoke and help people kick the habit是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰the international agreement,两者之间是被动关系。

4. D。解析:考查代词的用法。that指代前文提到的同类事物(往往是不可数名词)the pollution。one=a+前文提到的同类名词(单数);it指代前文提到的同一个事物。

5. A。解析:本题考查比较级。用as…as…表示倍数关系,twice as…as…“是……的两倍”。句意为:Matt在新工作上干得很好,他比去年多赚了一倍。赚钱为earn money。money为不可数名词,虽然在句中省略了,但仍用much来修饰不可数名词,故A正确。

6. C。解析:本题考查定语从句。因为空前有介词of,所以使用关系代词which引导定语从句。
