1、2012高考英语总复习学案:十大难点词语解析一、使用代用词one应注意的问题 英语中one可用作代用词。它代替上文出现的名词词组中心词,以避免重复。使用代用词one时需注意以下几个方面: 1只能代替可数名词,不能代替不可数名词。eg: I havent got a raincoatIll have to buy oneBrowns old car is much better than our new one 2复数名词的代用词为ones。eg: He ate all the big cherries and left me the little ones There was a mother

12、殊副词+tooto”结构语域中的体现及其成因研究: 1语域研究 “tooto”结构之前带有“but,only,all,simply,just”时,该结构表示强烈的肯定意义,汉译为“非常十分实在真是太”等。eg: They are but too glad to do so他们非常喜欢这么做。 The patient was only too willing to be operated upon病人非常愿意接受手术。 We are all too satisfied to take your advice我们非常乐意接受你的建议。 We shall be simply too glad to
13、help you我们很乐意帮助你。 I am just too glad to help you能帮你的忙,我真是太高兴了。 2成因研究 在以上例句中,too前面的“but,only,all,simply,just”等副词只起到了加强语气的作用。因此,用于“tooto”结构前面的这几个副词可以互换,而不定式,to则表示原因,有肯定意义。另外,该用法中的too只表示程度深一些,所以不会对其后的形容词产生否定意义,反而更强调了其肯定意义。 二、“tooto”结构的肯定意义在“否定副词+tooto”结构和“too+notto”语域中的体现及其成因研究 1语域研究 “tooto”结构前也可以加否定副词
14、not或never构成“notnever tooto”和“toonot to”结构。该结构不表示否定,而表示肯定,译为“不太可以,决不能,非常(很,太,那么)不会不(必定能,所以能)”。eg: He is not too weak to carry the bag他不太弱小;可以背得动那个书包。 The box is not too heavy to lift这只箱子不太重,可以抬得起来。 It is never too late to mend亡羊补牢,犹未晚也。 One is never too old to learn活到老学到老。 He is too careful not to ha
15、ve noticed that他那么小心,肯定会注意到那一点的。 You are too kind not to help me你很善良,肯定会帮助我的。 2成因研究 当too表示“太,过分”意义时,它是一个表示超量的程度副词,对其后所跟的形容词起一种消极作用,含有否定意义,因此就导致了“tooto”结构含有否定意义。但如果在too前加否定词not或never,形成双重否定,则能使原来具有否定意义的“tooto”结构转化为肯定意义。 三、“tooto”结构的肯定意义在“too+特殊形容词+to”结构语域中的体现及其成因研究 1.语域研究 有时可以在too之后加表示某种心情或描绘性的形容词,表示
16、肯定意义。这类形容词有“glad,pleased,happy,satisfied,ready,apt,incline,kind,eager”等。eg: He is too ready to help others他十分乐意帮助别人。He is too inclined to be cheated他很容易上当受骗。Beginners are too apt to make mistakes in grammar初学者极易犯语法错误。He is too eager to know the result of his experiment他迫切想知道他所做的实验结果。It is too kind o
17、f you to repair the car for me你为我修车真是太好了。He is too p1eased to receive the pretty gift收到这件漂亮的礼物,他真是太高兴了。2成因研究在以上例句中,表示心情或描绘性的形容词和to引导的不定式结合成一个表示不可分割的状态、态度、心境或倾向,并且具有明显的动词意义或感情色彩。因此,句中的不定式“to”表示肯定(不表示结果)含义。可见,在“tooto”结构表示肯定的句型中,too的逻辑意义为extremely(很,十分),强调其后的形容词具有肯定意义;这与“tooto”结构表示否定时,too的含义和作用完全相反。三、a
18、s用法小结as一词在SEFC新教材中多处出现。它词性多,词义广,用法灵活。现将其用法归纳如下。一)as作副词,表示程度,意为“同样地”。在“asas”,“not asas”结构中的第一个as是副词,作“和与(不)一样”解。eg:Jack is as tall as his father杰克和他的父亲一样高。He doesnt speak English asso fluently as you他的英语说得不如你流利。二)as作介词。 1 作“如,像”解。eg:They got united as one man他们团结得像一个人一样。She spoke of me as her dearest
19、 friend,她谈起我犹如我是她最亲密的朋友。2作“充当,作为”解。eg:As a writer,he was famous作为作家,他是很有名的。English is spoken as the first language by most people in Australia在澳大利亚,大多数人把英语作为第一语言。三)as作连词,常用来连接主句和状语从句。 1引导时间状语从句,作“当的时候”解,有“随着”之意,与while意义相近,强调两个动作同时发生;或某事一发生,另一事立即发生。eg: He shouted aloud as her ran along他一边往前跑,一边高声地呼喊。
20、I was startled as he opened the door他一开门,我吓了一跳。We get wiser as we get older随着年龄的增长,我们会变得更聪明。as作连词,相当于when。eg;As a little boy (When he was a little boy)he began to learn to play piano他小时候就开始学弹钢琴。As a child (When he was a child),he lived in the countryside他小时候住在农村。2引导原因状语从句,作“因为,由于”解,与because的用法相近。eg;
21、As it was getting very late,we soon turned back因为很晚了,我们很快就回来了。I must stop writing now,as I have rather a lot of work to do我必须停笔了,因为我还有许多工作要做。3引导方式状语从句或比较状语从句,作“正如,(如)像”解。例eg:As in your country,we grow wheat in the north and rice in the south正如(像)你们国家一样,我们在北方种小麦,在南方种大米。(方式状语从句)When at Rome,do as Roma
22、ns do入乡随俗。(方式状语从句)They always work as hard as we do他们工作总是像我们一样努力。(句中第二个as是连词,引导比较状语从句)此外,在“asas possible”结构中第二个as也起连词的作用。eg:Read the story as quickly as possible(=Read the story as quickly as you can)尽快地阅读这个故事。They watered the trees as often as possible(=They watered the trees as often as they could
23、.)他们尽可能经常给树浇水。4引导让步状语从句,作“虽然,尽管”解。这时从句常用倒装语序,即把从句中的表语、状语或动词原形放在as之前。eg;Strange as it may seem,it is true尽管这事看上去很奇怪,但却是真的。Try as he might,Tom could not get out of the difficulties不管怎样努力,汤姆还是摆脱不了困境。Child as she is,she knows a lot她虽然年幼,但却懂得很多东西。(注意;child前不带不定冠词a)四)as作关系代词。1引导限制性定语从句,用在“suchas”,“the sam
24、eas”,“asas”等结构中,常译作“像一样的人(或物)”,“凡是的人(或物)”。例eg:He wished to be such a man as Lei Feng was他曾希望做一个像雷锋那样的人。My hometown is no longer the same as it was我的家乡再也不像过去一样了。As many people as are present will be given a present所有在场的人都将得到一份礼物。2引导非限制性定语从句,用来指代它前面的整个句子(即先行句),意思是“这一点”。这个分句可以位于句首、句中或句末。eg:As is well k
25、nown,oceans cover more than 70 of the earth我们知道,海洋占地球面积的百分之七十以上。This elephant is like a snake,as anybody can see谁都看得出来,这头大象就像一条蛇。五)含as的固定词组的用法 1as soon as作“一就”解,引导时间状语从句。eg: As soon as I get to Beijing,Ill write to you我一到北京,就给你写信。 2asso long as作“只要”解,eg; AsSo long as you study hard,youll make progre
26、ss只要你努力,你就会取得进步。 3as ifthough常用来引导方式状语从句,作“好像,仿佛”解。如果从句中讲的是非真实情况,则用虚拟语气。eg: She loves the child as ifthough he were her own她爱这个孩子如同爱自己的孩子。 They talked as ifthough they had been there,他们谈起话来就好像他们真的到过那里似的。 As ifthough也可用来引导表语从句,常用在“It appearslooksseems+as ifthough”句型结构中。eg; It appears as ifthough it i
27、s going to clear up看起来天要晴了。 It seems as ifthough he knew nothing about it.他好像对此事一无所知。 4as to作“关于,至于”解。eg; There is no doubt as to his honesty他的诚实是无可置疑的。 5as muchmany as作“多达”,“达到之多”解。eg: The number of people who lost homes reached as many as 250000无家可归的人数达25万之多。 He can earn as much as 5000 dollars a
28、month他每月能挣5000美元。 6soas far as I know作“就我所知”解,在句中作插入语。eg: AsSo far as I know,he will come here next Monday据我所知,他将于下星期一到这里来。 7as a result,as a result of表示“由于的结果”。eg: We follow up the suggestions,and have had satisfying experiences as aresult由于我们按照建议办事,因此一直得到满意的结果。 She died as a direct result of the a
29、ccident她的死是那次事故的直接结果。 8,as well为“也,还”之意。eg: Come early,and bring your brother as well早点来,把你的弟弟也带来。 as well as也可以作“和,同”解。当其连接两个并列主语时,谓语动词应与前面的主语在数上保持一致。eg: My parents as well as my elder sister enjoy music. 比较:My elder sister as well as my parents enjoys music我父母亲和我姐姐都喜欢音乐。 9so as to,soas to若跟动词原形,表示
30、目的或结果。eg: He studied hard so as to pass the exam他努力学习以便通过考试。(表示目的) He was so strong as to carry the heavy box他很强壮,能搬动这个沉重的箱子。(表示结果)四、keep,1eave,find,feel和make在S V O C中的用法SVOC是一种基本句型。其中S-Subjeet,V-Verb,O-Object,C-Complement。宾语补语可以是形容词(Adjective)、名词(Noun)、现在分词(Present participle)、过去分词(Past participle)

43、 greatgood many,a greatlargesmall number of,scores of,dozens of。eg:There are many people in the park公园里有许多人。Im quite busy;I have a great many things to do我非常忙,我有很多事情要做。A number of my friends think I should take a holiday我的许多朋友都认为我应该休假。There were a large number of patients outside waiting to see the

47、money to me100万美元对我来说是一笔巨款。There is only a small amount of food只有一点食物。注意:1much用作代词,表示“许多,大量”的意思。I couldnt write much into days exam在今天的考试中我没答出多少。2a greatgood deal用作代词,表示“很多,大量”的意思。He ate a great deal他吃了很多。3a greatgood deal用作副词,作状语,修饰形容词,特别是形容词比较级,意思是“非常,得多”;也可修饰动词,意思是“很多”。He ran a good deal faster t
48、han I.他跑得比我快得多。“Do you walk much?”“Yes,a good deal”“你常步行吗?”“是的,次数很多。”We see each other a great deal我们多次见面。4the amount of作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。The amount of money spent on the bridge was large这座桥耗资巨大。51arge amounts of作主语时,谓语动词要用复数形式。Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge建这座桥花费了大量资金。(比较:A large amou
49、nt of money was spent on the bridge)三、修饰可数名词,也可修饰不可数名词。表示“许多”的词组有;a lot of,lots of,plenty of,a great1argesmall quantity of,greatlarge quantities of。A lot ofLots of people went swimming yesterday昨天很多人去游泳。A lot ofLots of work is to be done this week本周将有许多工作要做。We have plenty of cakesTake some more我们有很多

53、ks were sold out in a few days大量的新书几天之内就卖完了。六、almost和nearly的用法比较almost和nearly都是英语口语和书面语最常用的词。在学习过程中,许多学生对这两个词的用法并不十分清楚。他们常常把两个词当作绝对的同义词来使用,写出了“Nearly no one came to the party”这样的错误句子。下面将从句法、语义和语用等方面介绍这两个词在用法上的异同。 一、almost和nearly在句法和语义上的相同点: 1almost和nearly都可用于表示度量、计数和时间的名词词组前面。eg: It is almostnearly
54、ten oclock There were almostnearly a thousand people there 注意:almost和nearly与表示时间的名词短语使用时只用在系动词BE的后面。eg我们不能说:They arrived at almostnearly five oclock而应说:It was almostnearly five oclock when they arrived 2almost和nearly修饰动词时往往表示进度、进程或结果等意义。eg: Ive almostnearly finished I almostnearly smashed the phone
55、in fury 注意:1)almost和nearly修饰动词时一般置于动词之前。如果句中只有一个助动词,两词都应置于助动词之后;如果有一个以上的助动词,则两词都应置于第一个助动词之后。eg: Fanny almostnearly fainted He has almostnearly forgotten the time Ive almostnearly been drowned in it three times 2)almost和nearly都可以用在否定动词的前面。eg: I almostnearly didnt get up in time 3almost和nearly都可以修饰表示绝
56、对意义的形容词。eg:我们可以说“almost,nearly perfectfrozendeadimpossible,但一般不与表示非绝对意义的形容词连用。eg;我们不说:The schools are almostnearly good thereThe coast was almostnearly rocky 以上两例应改为:The schools are extremely good thereThe coast was very rocky 4almost和nearly都可以用在某些时间状语和地点状语的前面。eg: I used to ride almostnearly every d
57、ayeveningWe are almostnearly therehome 5almost和nearly都可以用在限定词“all,every,everybody”等之前。eg: Almostnearly al1(of) my friends came to the party 二、almost和nearly的差异 1句法上的差异 (1)almost可以用在any及否定词“no, no one, nobody, never, nothing, none, nowhere 等的前面,而nearly则不可以。eg: There is almost no leadership at all(不可用n
58、early) 但是,nearly可以用在否定词not之后,起加强否定陈述的作用,而almost则不可以。eg: Its not nearly so nice We dont do nearly enough to help (2)almost可以用在以ly结尾的副词的前面,而nearly则不可以。eg: She said it almost crossly Your boss is almost certainly there (3)almost可以用在like之前,表示“相似,但不完全相同”或避免说得过于肯定;nearly则不可以。eg: It made me feel almost lik
59、e a hostess (4)very,so,pretty可以用在nearly前面,却不可用在almost前面。eg: We were very nearly at the end Of our journey the American who so nearly won the Open Championship in 1970 Ive pretty nearly finished 2语义上的细微差异 一般情况下,“Its almost five oclock”和“Its nearly five oclock”意思大致相同;但有时almost所表示的意思比nearly更接近一些。试比较: I
60、ts nearly ten oclock(=perhaps 945) .Its almost ten oclock(=perhaps 957) 3语用上的差异 almost是一个“纯”程度副词,而nearly则不然,它同时还传达说话人的某种思想情绪和心理状态。eg: Its nearly eight kilometers to the ZOO到动物园还有将近八公里呢。(比设想的要远些) It cost me nearly twenty pounds它花了我将近20英镑呢。(比估计的价格高,嫌贵了一些) 4国别差异 almost多用在美国英语中,而nearly在英国英语中则更为常见。总之,alm
61、ost和nearly两词的用法比较复杂,尤其是它们在语义和语用上的细微差异,更须在上下文或语境中细心揣摩才能体会到。七、谈kind of,sort of和 type of一、kind of,sort of和type of是可数名词,kind,sort,type后跟of词组,主要释义是“种,类”。它们的复数形式是kinds of,sorts of和types of。它们既可与单、复数可数名词连用,也可与不可数名词搭配。它们的前面可以有限定词,如all,three等;也可以有形容词加以修饰,如delicious sorts of bread等。 关于表示“种类”的kind of,sort of和t
62、ype 0f,常见的有各种结构形式,其中有些符合语法规则,有些只是习惯用法,有些用于正式用语,有些则用于非正式用语。它们大多数既可与可数名词(单、复数)连用,也可与不可数名词搭配。现以kind of的结构形式为例予以说明: this kind of book this kind of books these kind of book these kind of books these kinds of book these kinds of books allthree kind of books allthree kinds of books以上八种结构形式虽属常见,但人们对其正式与否,规范
63、与否,看法不尽相同一般来说,式和其用作主语的句子,如This kind of book is excellent既符合语法规则又是规范语言,正式与非正式场合都可使用,而且是较常用的一种结构。类似的句子还有: This kind of thing cant go onThis sortof thing is not much in my wayThis type of wine is only made in France式是为了表达多数而使用的复数结构。句子看似正确,但很不普通。特别要注意this kindsort of词组用作主语时,无论of后面的名词是单数还是复数,其谓语动词只能用单数形式
64、而不能用复数形式,因为从语法意义来讲, kindsort of是单数。例如: This kind of bookbooks is excellent This sort of manmen is dangerous That type of problemproblems is not included in the present treatise 若一定要用谓语动词的复数形式,或为了符合语法规则,使其成为规范的句子则应改为:Books of this kind are excellent Men of this sort are dangerous Problems of this typ
65、e are not included in the present treatise 尽管许多英美人士都使用式和式,尤其是式,但不少人认为这一结构违背逻辑,不是规范和正确的语言。因此,他们宁可用式来代替式表示其复数概念。例如: Do you smoke these kind of cigarettes? -Do you smoke cigarettes of this kind? 注意:若thesethose kindsort of用作主语时,不论其后面所跟的名词是单数还是复数,其谓语动词应是复数形式。例如: These type of machinemachines are up to da
