一.常用搭配
Iwasverycomfortablespeakingtoeveryone,soIgotlotsofchancesto(82)p_____myspokenEnglish.practise
WhenIgothome,myfriendscouldn’tbelievehowmuchIhad(83)i_____inEnglish!improved
Listentobirdsorthesoundofyourax(斧子).Ifthesoundissharp,stormyweatherismovingnearer.Ifthesounddissipates(散去),ahigh-pressuresystemandniceweatherisonthew____81___.way
常考的有:bytheway顺便说一下;intheway,挡道,阻碍;inmanyways在许多方面;insomeways在某些方面;inthisway用这种方式。
Itwouldbeaveryb____85____lifeforabudgerigar(虎皮鹦鹉)initscagewithoutaladderandabelloramirror.boring
常考的有:agoodlife,ahappylife,abadlife,acolorfullife,anenjoyablelife,ahardlife,awonderfullife,abetterlife
Greatlyd___84___,Edwardleftthebuildingandwenttowaitforabustotakehimbackhome.Nexttothebusstop,amanwassellingnewspapersfromastand(摊位).disappointed
NowadaysmanychildrenarechosentolearnEnglishataveryy__84___age,butwhichistherightwayshouldtakeyoung
建议学生在平时的学习中要及时积累课文中重要的常用搭配,比如往年考过的abigsuccess,aheavytraffic,what’smore,what’sworse,afterclass,ontheway,GreenhouseEffect,makeadifference等等,很多这样的例子。做题的时候如果对这些短语非常熟悉,就好很自然的想起来。
二.固定句式
Butifthegrassisdry,thenitwillbew____87___ofyoutotakeyourumbrella.wise
此处其实考itis+adj.ofsb.todosth.,并且adj.修饰人的。备考时应该提醒学生如果从联系上下文以及句子成分分析的角度仍然想不出恰当答案,可以从句子的整体结构入手,可能是考常见的句型,比如考定语从句/宾语从句/状语从句的连接词,或者考itis+adj.forsb.todosth.等等。
常考的还有:some...others...,so...that...
Somespecialeffects,especiallyinsciencefictionmovies,aremadewithcomputers.O_____85____aremadebymachines,whichcanmakearainydayorasnowynightatanytimeoftheyear.Firesandexplosionsinmoviesarecreatedwithspecialeffects.Others
三.前后对比
Inyourclassroom,youhavelearnedtoread"fast".A___87____class,youshouldtrytolearntoread"slow".after
如果从整体来看,本段是明显的前后对比结构,前面说课堂上,大家需要读得快一些,后面说的是课后,大家应该学会慢读。
LaterIknewanexamwasakindofcompetition.Incompetitions,therearealwaysw_________andlosers.AsIgrewup,Igottoknowcompetitionwell.Inone’slife,theremustbecompetitions,sopeoplecanimprove.winners
四.被动句转主动句
AtthemomenttheMiludeerliveincentreswheretheyarebeingwprotectedandcaredfor.well
此题的做题方法建议是转为主动句AtthemomenttheMiludeerliveincentreswherepeopleareprotectingandcaringforthemw.然后根据常用短语搭配的角度,学生就很容易想起careforsb./sth.well这个短语。
五.特殊结构
动名词作主语
Itcanalsobestoredasaliquidbutonlyatextremelylowtemperatures.Itseemslikely,therefore,thattherewillhavetobeacompletelynewtechnologybeforehydrogenreplacesfossilfuels.S__86___theseproblemsisanurgent(急迫的)matter.AlthoughChina,IndiaandAustraliahavehugeamountsofcheapcoal,andtherearestilll__87___oilandgasreserves(储藏量)elsewhere,theeffectsontheplanet’sclimatewillbebadiftheyareused.Solving
此处be动词是is,因此theseproblems不能做主语,只能动宾结构做主语,所以填动名词形式。
前后一一对应
Thecostofacollegeeducationcanbequiteexpensive.InEnglish-speakingcountries,thea___82___costperstudentperyeariswelloverUS$10,000.average
首字母中凡是出现per,every,each字眼的题目,从含义上面又涉及到平均量的,填average的可能性很大,或者填one,比如下题:
Itwasp_________inthe16thcenturytocompleteuniversitywithoutlearninghowtoreadorwrite.Sincebookswerehandwritten,therewasnotenoughtogiveo___________toeachstudent.Often,onlytheteacherhadabook.Hewouldreadtothestudentswhowouldmemorizewhathesaid.Testswereoral,notwritten,Infact,manystudentsfinishedschoolwithouteverwritingaword.one
考到esb.todo的结构
Readingprovidedmewithescape,butitalsoe___86____metounderstandtheworldaroundme.Itwasaneducationinaclassroomthathadnowalls.enabled
首字母中若考到esb.todo的结构,一般考三个,enable,encourage,expect。
考“先后”含义
讲之前先讲一下follow的各种含义:
vt.跟随,接着;
vi.理解;发生兴趣;由此产生;跟着人(或物)去(或来)
“Howareyou”isoftenusedtogreetsomeonewearefamiliarwith.Itusuallyf__________witharesponseof“I’mgood,andyou”or“I’mwell,andyou”follows
Thenoneday,hishigh-schoolEnglishteacher,RuthWhite,askedtheclasstowritetheirownchapterthatwouldf95thelastchapterofthenovelsincetheyhadbeenreadingToKillaMockingbird.Daviswrotehischapterandturneditin.follow
此题大意为:一天,他的高中英语老师RuthWhite小姐,在他们读过《杀死一只知更鸟》这部小说之后要求他们在最后一章节后面再续写一个章节。此题仍然考查“先后含义”,故填follow。
Donotgetintoaliftduringanearthquake!Stayinasafeareauntilyouaresureit'sOKtoleave.Someaftershock(余震)mayf____85____anearthquake.Theseareasdangerousastheearthquake.follow
此题大意为:地震以后会有余震。是表示方位上的“先后”含义,仍然填follow。
Fortunately,itwasagreatsuccess.HenextmadeDumbo,
aboutababyelephant,andthiswasf________bymanymoremovies.Manyofthesearestill
populartoday.followed
考结构对称
Babbagewasthefirstpersontocomeupwiththeideaofcomputers.Andheismorefamoustodaythanhew___inhisday.was
此题大意:Babbage是提出“电脑”想法的第一人,并且,与他所在的时代相比,在当今时代,他更加知名。很多学生都意识到此句是比较级,但忽略了前后结构的对称性,today与inhisday想对称,同样地,heis应该与hewas相对称。
