My first impression of Mrs Li was that she was nervous and shy. 我对李老师最初的印象是她既紧张又害羞。 impression在此处为可数名词，意为“印象”。如：What were your first impressions
9、of New York? 你对纽约的第一印象是什么？The old church made a great impression on Tom. 那座古老的教堂给汤姆留下很深刻的印象。ones (first) impression of 某人对的（最初）印象2.Shes kind and patient, and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it! 【考点】 so . that . 如此以至于。so修饰形容词或副词，that从句为结果状语从句。常用于“so + 形容词 / 副词 + tha
10、t .”结构；或者 “so + 形容词 + a(n) + 可数名词单数 + that .”结构，但当名词之前有表示数量的词语（如：many, much, few, little（少）时，要用so来修饰它们本身。【考例1】 I havent seen Ann for _ long that Ive forgotten what she looks like._ (四川2008)A. such B. very C. so D. too【考例2】 The weather was _ cold that I didnt like to leave my room. (2008全国卷I)A. reall

12、ch + a(n) + 形容词 + 可数名词单数 + that .”，“such + 形容词 + 可数名词复数 + that .”，“such + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + that .”中。在考例1和2中，that引导结果状语从句，long为副词，cold为形容词，因此只能用so。而在考例3和4中，such用来修饰名词，根据句意可知这两处都需要引导结果状语从句的连词that，构成such . that . 结构。注意：在这两种句型中出现单数可数名词，且该名词前有形容词修饰时，二者可以互换。如：This is so good an idea / such a good idea that w
13、e all accept it. 3. Ive always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, but Mrs Li just smiles, so that you dont feel completely stupid! 我总是不愿意犯错误或者在说英语时念错词。李老师只是笑笑，你就不会感到自己是个大笨蛋。1）always强调“一直是这样”。另外，be always doing表示“老是，老”，多半表示责难。如：He is always complaining about
14、 something. 他老是发牢骚。He was always asking for money.他老是要钱。Why are you always biting your nails?你为什么老是咬指甲？2）so that 在此处引导表示结果的状语 从句， 意为“因此，这样就”。如：She is very careful, so that she seldom makes a mistake.她非常细心，因此她很少犯错。Nothing more was heard from him so that we began to wonder if he was dead.再也没有听到他的消息，因此
15、我们怀疑他是否死了。3）dont feel completely stupid 并不觉得自己是个大笨蛋dont（否定词）和completely（表示“全部”概念的词）放在一起表示部分否定。又如：All is not gold that glitters. =Not all that glitters is gold.发光的并不都是金子。Everybody wouldnt like it.=Not everybody would like it. 并不是每个人都会喜欢它。4. Shes very strictwe dont dare to say a word unless she asks u
16、s to. 她非常严格，如果她不要求，我们连一句话也不敢说。unless相当于if not, 意为“要不是，除非”，这句话也可以说成：We dont dare to say a word if she doesnt ask us to.My father comes home before dinner every day, unless there is something urgent to do. =My father comes home before dinner every day, if there is not anything urgent to do. 除非有急事，我父亲每天晚上都在晚餐前回家。5. because her teaching is so well organized and clear. 因为她的讲解非常有条理，很清楚。organized为形容词，意为“有秩序的；效率高的”。如：a highly organized person 一个很有条理的人a well-organized office 工作效率高的办事处此外，它还可意为“有安排的；有准备的”。如 ：organized crime 有组织的犯罪活动
