9、有许多共同之处以下是从英国国家语料库中选出来的几个例句:1)You know,Dorothy,you and I have one thing in common2)We just had nothing in common and I couldnt communicate with his dull business friends3)I suddenly felt we had a lot in common.2.calculate v.work(sth.)out by using numberse.g.calculate the cost of sth.calculator n.让我们
10、一起回忆一下以or结尾的词吧：visitor,survivor,competitor3.analytical adj.分析的,解析的analyse vt.分析;研究analogy n.相似;类似analysis n.分析;研究analyst n.分析家analytic adj.分析的;分解的4.artificial adj.人工的,人造的artificial flowers/limbs/pearls 假花/假肢/假珍珠artificial intelligence 人工智能5.As a result 结果；终于；因此。考例 My friend Martin was very sick with
11、 a strange fever;_,he could neither eat nor sleep.(江西2005)A.as a result B.after all C.any way D.otherwise点拨 考查短语辨析。as a result结果；after all毕竟；any way不管怎样；otherwise 否则。由句意可知要选as a result。6.totally adv.整个地;完全地totally blind 全盲total adj.完全的;整个的total silence 寂静无声in total 总共7.Over time my memory has develo
12、ped so much that,.I never forget anything I have been told.考点 so.that.引导结果状语从句。考例1 The weather was _ cold that I didnt like to leave my room.(2008 全国卷I)A.really B.such C.too D.so考例2 I havent seen Ann for _ long that Ive forgotten what she looks like.(四川2008)A.such B.very C.soD.too点拨 两题都考查so.that.的用法
13、。8.And my memory became so large thateven I couldnt believe it!句型：so that 如此以致于与 tooto 句型的相互转换And my memory became too large for me to believe it.eg He is so old that he cant carry the box.He is too old to carry the box.此结构中的that从句表示结果。The stone is so heavy that no one can lift it.比较:so that 既可以表结果,
14、也可以表目的。so.that.结构的so+形容词/副词位于句首时,句子用倒装结构。So hard does he work that he seldom goes home.9.But I was always so lonely standing there by myself,until in early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network.点拨 until表示“直到时”，在肯定句中，指从开始到结束的整段时间，谓语动词一般是延续性的。在否定句中构成not.until，意为“直到才”，指到某一点动作才开始，谓语动词一般是非延续
15、性的。其强调句是it is(was)not until.that.。当not until位于句首时，句子要进行倒装。如：The experts explored the island until the end of last year.直到去年年底，专家们一直都在勘查这个小岛。We didnt solve the problem until Mr.Smith helped us.直到史密斯先生帮助我们，我们才解决了那个问题。It was not until last year that my hope became a reality.Not until noon did it stop r

17、well as being a photographer.3)这个句子是现在完成时被动语态，其机构是(have/has+been+过去分词）e.g.The radio has been repaired when we phoned the shop.考例1 Professor James will give us a lecture on the Western culture,but when and where _ yet.(浙江2007)A.hasnt been decidedB.havent decided C.isnt being decided D.arent decided点拨
18、 本题考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。由yet可知要用完成时态，又因时间与地点是被决定的，故应用被动语态。此外，“在什么时候和什么地点（做报告）”是指同一件事，故用单数形式。考例2 When you get the paper back,pay special attention to what _.(四川2007)A.have marked B.have been markedC.had marked D.had been marked点拨 因mark 这一动作发生在get之前，且试卷是被批注，因此应用现在完成时的被动语态。考例3 I got caught in the rain and m
19、y suit _.(北京2007)A.has ruined B.had ruined C.has been ruined D.had been ruined点拨 句意为：我遭遇大雨，我的衣服被淋坏了。ruin表示的动作发生在got caught 之后，故排除B、D两项。此处表示被动，所以C项正确。11.anyhow 无论如何Anyhow,you can try.无论如何你可以试试。I dont care what you say;Im going to do it anyhow.比较:somehow 意为“以某种方式;不知怎么地”12.I am now truly filled with ha
20、ppiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!点拨 that引导同位语从句，具体说明happiness的内容。that是连词，在从句中不充当任何成分。英语中用that引导同位语从句的情况比较常见，但有时也可以用连接副(代)词 how,when,where,whether等来引导同位语从句。注意：if,which 不能引导同位语从句。如：I had the impression that she chose her words with care.在我的印象中，她选词很小心。I heard the news tha
