四．重点句子分析（重难知识点）

   Jim is going boating this afternoon.     Are they all coming tomorrow?

 

（2）in two weeks两周后，表示将来的时间，（how soon提问）

  ---How soon will the dinner be ready?  ---In ten minutes.

 eg：这艘船不久就要起航开往纽约了。

3.Yes, I think so.是的，我认为是这样。

在口语中，常用so代替上文讲到的内容，尤其是上文内容在下文中以宾语从句形式出现时。

如果在下文被替代者为否定含义的宾语从句，常用“否定句+so”(否定前移)或直接用not代替。

 ---Do you think it will rain?  ---Yes, I think so./No, I don’t think so.

 例：---Are you sure you can do well in today’s test, Lucy?

  ---_______.I’ve got everything ready.

A.  It’s hard to say    B. I’m afraid not     C.I think so     D.I hope not

so 是表示自己和对方的看法或想法一致.think, guess, believe, suppose, expect, hope, afraid等

都有这样的用法!

 

4.Then, you’ll have good luck in the new year. 然后，你将在新的一年里有好运气。

 短语have good luck意为“有好运气”

wish you good luck （正式）

Good luck to you （口语）

 

5.Chinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.

  中国 人庆祝中秋节、吃月饼已经有几个世纪了。

enjoy常用作及物动词，意思是“喜欢，享受。。。的乐趣”。现将其用法简述如下：

1)  enjoy后接名词或代词 Do you enjoy the film?

2)  enjoy后接动词-ing形式  I enjoy listening to light music.

3)  enjoy后接反身代词oneself，构成固定搭配，意为“过得愉快，玩得高兴”，相当于have a good time.      ---Did you enjoy yourself at the party last night?

  ---I enjoyed myself very much at the party.

eg：We know that she enjoys_________films very much.

   A.watch      B.watches     C.watching      D.to watch

 

6.Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night.

 后羿非常伤心，他每天晚上对着月亮呼唤她的名字。

so...that...意为“如此…以至于…”，引导表示结果的状语从句。so是副词，用以修饰其后的形容词或副词，

说明其程度的大小。（so+adj./adv.）

  She is so lucky that she always wins at cards.

“so...that...”句型中的that在口语中常可以省略，其意思不变。

   The story was so funny that it made everybody laugh.

 该句型中的“so+adj./adv.”可以提至句首，以加强语气，但要注意用倒装语气。

eg：改为同义句

  The box is so heavy that we can’t carry it.

=The box is _________ heavy for us________ carry.

I was so sleepy that I can hardly keep my eyes open.

#   such...that  “如此…以至于…”,其中such是adj，+（a/an）+n.

①  such+a（n）（+ adj）+单数可数名词+that从句。eg：

She is such a good teacher that all of us love and respect her.

Table tennis is such an interesting game that people all over the world play it.

② such+（+ adj）+复数可数名词+that从句。如：

They are such interesting books that I want to read them once more.

③such+（+ adj）不可数名词+that从句。如：

It was such bad weather that I had to stay at home.

 

7.Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died.

 马利曾经就像斯克鲁奇一样，所以他死后被惩罚。

（1）used to意为“曾经，过去常常”，表示与现在比较，这种动作已经成为过去的事实，

现在已经不再这样了。

There used to be an old house near the river.

He didn’t use to go school.

（2）just like正如，就像

8.This holiday is always on a Sunday between March 22^nd and April 25^th.

 这个节日总是在3月22日至4月25日之间的一个周日。

【解析】between介词，（表示位置）在…中间；介于…之间；

             （表示时间）在…之间，在..中间。

  I’m usually free between Tuesday and Friday.

  I stood between Lisi and WangLiu.

易混辨析：between与among

1）      among指三者或三者以上之间，其宾语通常是一个表示笼统数量或具有复数（或集合）意义的

名词或代词。

 They hid themselves among the trees.

2）      between主要指两者之间，其宾语往往是表示两者的名词或代词，或者是有and连接的两个人或物

here was a fight between the two boys.

3）      between还可以用来指三个或三个 以上的人或物的每两个之间。三个三个以上的名词用and连接，

前面用between，而不用among。

  Switzerland lies between France, Germany, Austria and Italy.

   瑞士位于法国、德国、奥地利、意大利之间。

4）      among还可以用来表示一个比较的范围，常与最高级连用。

  She is the tallest among the classmates.

 

9.Not only do people spread them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these treats as gifts.

  人们不禁会把鸡蛋分散地藏在不同的地方来玩寻蛋游戏，而且还会把它们作为礼物分发出去。

not only...but also...是一个并列连词，在句中连接两个并列对等的成分。

  She not only plays well, but also writes music.

  We go there not only in winter, but also in summer.

在使用not only...but also...时还应注意以下几点：

1）      当not only...but also...连接两个主语时，谓语动词的数原则上与其临近的主语保持一致。

   Not only you but also he is wrong.

2）      为了强调，可将not only置于句首，此时其后的句子通常要用部分倒装形式。

  Not only do they need clothes, but they are also short of water.

 

 

 

五、重点难点全解

一、由that, if和whether引导的宾语从句

1.由陈述句充当宾语从句时，这个宾语从句由that引导，在口语中that可以省略。

 I hear (that) she’s going to give you a call.

注意：（1）宾语从句要用陈述句语序。

  I believe that she has left the city.

 (2)如果主句是一般过去时，从句则只能用相应的过去时态（一般过去时、过去进行时、过去完成时）。

  I said that it was time we were setting out.

 (3)如果宾语从句所陈述的是客观真理、自然现象或公式、定理、谚语、名人名言等，则用一般现在时。

  He said that light travels faster than sound.

2.由一般疑问句充当宾语从句时，该从句由if/whether引导，且从句要用陈述句语序。

  He asked if/whether they needed any help.

温馨提示：

   if和whether引导的宾语从句时，一般情况下可以互换，但要注意下列情况：

(1)宾语从句移至句首时，用whether。   Whether it is true or not, I can’t say.

(2)在介词后常用whether。     It depends on whether you can do the work well.

(3)与不定式连用时，只能用whether。   He can’t decide whether to accept or refuse.

(4)当与or not连用时，if或whether均可，但or not直接跟在连词后时，则只能用whether。

I don’t care whether or not he comes.

 

二、what和how引导的感叹句

1.感叹句句型结构

（1）what引导的感叹句的中心词时名词。该名词前常有形容词修饰，句中的主语和谓语一般可省去。

句型结构为：what(+a/an)+形容词+名词（主语+谓语）！

   What a cold day (it is) today!         What delicious food (it is)!

What引导感叹句中的名词若为单数可数名词，要用不定冠词a/an，而不用the；若为复数或不可数名词，

则不用冠词。

（2）how引导的感叹句的中心词时形容词或副词。其句型结构为：how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语！

或how+形容词+a/an+单数可数名词+主语+谓语！

  How cold it is today!      How happy the children are!

2.陈述句改为感叹句

陈述句改为感叹句时，常使用“一断二加三换位”的方法：

(1)“一断”，即在谓语动词后边断开，把句子分成两部分

   She is~a beautiful girl.       He works ~hard.

(2)“二加”，即如果第二部分的第一个词为形容词、副词，就加上how；如果是名词（词组），就加上what。

   She is~（what）a beautiful girl.       He works ~(how) hard.

(3)“三换位”，即把第一部分与第二部分互换位置，同时把句号换为感叹句。

  What a beautiful girl she is!       How hard he works!

 

六、易错易混全解

1.like,love与enjoy

 (1) like ①作动词时意为“喜欢，爱好”，指感到满意、产生兴趣等。 

Tom likes flying kites.

   ②作介词时，其意思为“像…”   Kate’s hat looks like a rabbit.

 (2)love作动词时意为“喜欢，爱好”，着重强调强烈的感情、亲密的依恋、常用于祖国、亲人或异性等方面；用于物时，指非常喜爱，近乎嗜好的程度。

     Marry doesn’t love you, and she loves only your money.

  love表达的喜欢程度比like深，这两个词的宾语除了用名词或代词外，还可以用不定式或动名词。

     Children often love to play this game.

(3)enjoy作“喜欢”讲时，后接名词、代词、动名词作宾语，但不能接动词的不定式。

      Are you enjoying living here?       Did you enjoy yourself at the party?

 

2.bring, carry, fetch与take

(1)bring表示“拿来，带来”，指从别处把某物带来。它表示单程，与take的方向相反。This little girl brought me here.

(2)carry表示“携带，搬运”，有“负担”的含义，它指从一地到另一地的运动，但不说明动作的方向。

The box is too heavy for me to carry.

(3)fetch表示“去取来，去请来”，指到别处去把某物取来，或把某人接来。它表示往返，指双程。

   He rushed home to fetch his raincoat.      Run and fetch the doctor, please.

(4)take表示“拿走，带走”，指把某物从说话者所在地拿走，或把人带走。它指单程，与bring的方向相反。Take the letter to the post office.

   I want to take some books to the classroom. Could you help me, please？
