考点对接

Now that she is out of a job, Lucy ____ going back to school, but she hasnt decided yet.

A. had considered

B. has been considering

C. considered

D. is going to consider

解析:B 句意为:由于失业了,Lucy一直在考虑回学校学习,但还没有决定。所以应用现在完成进行时态表示一直在持续的动作。consider考虑,后接动名词作宾语。

2.People also travel to meet new friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather.

1)experience可用作动词,意为“体验;有……经验”。

Have you experienced real hunger? 你体验过真正的饥饿吗?

Experiencing pain is as valuable as experiencing pleasure.

经历痛苦和体验快乐一样珍贵。

experience还可以作名词。作不可数名词,意为“经验”,作可数名词,意为“经历”。

Our journey was quite an unforgettable experience. 我们的旅行可谓是一段难忘的经历。

Experience comes from practice.

经验来源于实践。

考点对接

Jumping out of ____ airplane at ten thousand feet is quite ____ exciting experience.

A. 不填; the B. 不填; an

C. an; an D. the; the

解析:C根据句意“从一万英尺高空的飞机上跳下是一次非常令人激动的体验”判断experience应为可数名词,所以第二空要加不定冠词an。第一空加不定冠词an表泛指。

3.Watch out for dangers, such as spiders, snakes or poisonous plants.

1)watch out(for)=look out(for)意为“当心;提防”。

Watch out for that man.

要提防那个人。

Watch out!Theres a car coming. 当心!有车来了!

辨析:watch out; look out; take care; be careful

这些短语意思相近,用法相似。都可以单独使用,以提醒对方注意。

Watch out/Look out!A car is running at you. 小心!一辆车正向你冲来。

Take care/Be careful! The pans hot. 当心!锅很烫。

take care, be careful都可接不定式的否定形式和从句。

2)danger名词,意为“危险”。词组be in danger意为“处在危险中”;out of danger意为“脱离危险”。danger具体指危险的人或物时是可数名词。形容词是dangerous;副词是dangerously。

The tiger is in danger.

老虎处在危险中。

The tiger is a danger to us. (The tiger is dangerous to us.) 老虎对我们来说是危险的动物。

考点对接

——____ for the glass!

解析:A look out for=watch out for当心,为固定短语。句意:当心那些玻璃!

4.The name “whitewater” comes from the fact that the water in these streams and rivers looks white when it moves quickly.

1)that the water in these streams and rivers looks white…是一个同位语从句。同位语从句一般跟在某些名词(如idea, news, fact, promise等)的后面,用以说明名词所表示的具体内容。引导同位语从句的连词that一般不省略。

The news that our basketball team has won was really exciting.

我们篮球队获胜的消息确实太令人兴奋了。

解析:A 第一空是that引导的同位语从句,来解释problem的内容。第二个空是need后加doing或to be done的形式。

5.Jane and Betty are going on separate holidays in a few days time.

一小时之后他将回来。

after也可以表示一段时间之后,但常用于过去时态;如果用于将来时态,后面常跟某一点时间或某项活动。

有关in的其他短语:

6.Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun.

考点对接

C. That D. What

解析:B as“正如,正像”,关系代词,指代后面分句的内容,引导一个非限制性定语从句。

8.Eco-travel is a way to find out what can be done to help animals and plants as well as people.

as well as是并列连词,意为“不仅……而且……;既……又……”。

I read German as well as French. 我不仅读法语而且读德语。

as well as与not only…but also…不同。A as well as B的意思是“不但B而且A”,其重点是前者,而不在后者。not only A but also B则强调后者,可按词序翻译为“不但A而且B”,谓语与but also后的主语一致。

She is clever as well as beautiful. =She is not only beautiful but also clever. 她不仅漂亮而且聪明。

as well as连接两个并列成分作主语时,句子的谓语动词应与as well as前面的那个名词或代词的人称和数相一致。

解析:as well as和as well

as well as中第二个as常省去,意为“同样地,也”(just as much)。

I can hear you quite as well when you speak softly. (省去as I can hear you when you speak loudly)

你轻声说我也同样听得见。

与as well as用法相同的还有as much as, with, like, together with, but, except, besides, including, rather than, in addition to, 句中谓语动词的单复数都取决于前面的名词或代词的单复数。

考点对接

Mr Brown, as well as his family ____ leaving for France for the festival.

A. is B. are

C. will be D. have been

解析:A as well as连接两个并列成分作主语时,句子的谓语动词应与as well as前面的那个名词或代词在人称和数上相一致。is leaving是现在进行时表示将来的动作;C项错,正确形式应为will leave。

D. must have happened

解析:D must have done表示对过去事情的肯定推断,意为“过去一定做了某事”。A表示对现在或未来事情的肯定推测;B意为“本应该发生”;C意为“可能已经发生”,口气不太肯定,由于前一句意为“汤姆上班从未迟到过”,因此判断他今天缺席一定是因为出了什么事了。
