Review of units 1—3
一. 重點詞匯
1. as
as作為連詞，引導時間狀語從句，“當……的時候”，一般用于一般過去時。
例如：
As he explored the sea，he took a lot of pictures. 他在探海時，拍了許多照片。
還可以引導原因狀語從句，只說明一般的因果關系，語氣比because弱，說明比較明顯的原因，它引導的從句通常放在句首，有時也放在句尾。
例如：
As the car is expensive，we can’t buy it. 由于汽車太貴，我們買不起。
As everybody has come，we can set off. 既然大家都到了，我們可以動身了。
as soon as 一……就
例如：
As soon as he arrived in France，he called me. 他一到法國，就給我打電話。
as…as… 表示雙方程度相等，“和……一樣”。
基本句式：
A、主語+謂語（系動詞）+as+原級形容詞+as…
例如：
Xiao Li is as tall as his brother. 小李和他哥哥一樣高。
Your jacket is as new as mine. 你的茄克衫和我的一樣新。
B、主語+謂語（行為動詞）+as+ 原級副詞 +as…
例如：
He speaks French as fluently as you. 他說法語和你說得一樣流利。
Wang Ying teaches maths as conscientiously as her sister.王瑩教數(shù)學和她姐姐一樣認真。
2. a few；few；a little；little
few或a few在句中修飾可數(shù)名詞，后接可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)；也可用來代替復數(shù)名詞。其中few表示否定，意為“幾乎沒有”，a few則表示肯定，意為“有一些”。
例如：
Few people lived here many years ago．許多年前幾乎沒有人住在這兒。
Look！You made a few mistakes in your homework． 看！你在作業(yè)中出了幾處錯。
little或a little在句中修飾或代替不可數(shù)名詞。其中l(wèi)ittle表示否定，意為“幾乎沒有”，a little表示肯定，意為“有一點”。
例如：
—How much wine did he have last night？ 昨天晚上他喝了多少酒？
—Just a little． 只喝了一點點。
Hung up，we have little time left． 快點，我們沒有多少時間了。
a little還常用來修飾形容詞、副詞、動詞，也可以修飾形容詞或副詞的比較級。
例如：
All of them felt a little tired．So they stopped to have a rest．
他們都感到有點累，所以他們停下來休息。
Lucy runs a little faster than I．露茜跑得比我快一點。
3. a little和a bit
a bit和a little通?？苫Q，也可修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞。但在修飾名詞時有區(qū)別：a little可直接修飾不可數(shù)名詞；而a bit則要與of搭配才能修飾名詞。
如：
Please open the windows．It's a bit hot．請把窗戶打開，有點熱。
This morning he only had a bit of milk for breakfast．今天早上他早餐只喝了一點牛奶。
注意：
not…a little意為“非常、很多、不少”，相當于very或quite等；而not…a bit則表示“一點也不”，相當于not at all等。
例如：
The boy isn't a bit hungry． 那男孩一點也不餓。
The boy isn't a little hungry．那男孩非常餓。
4. besides，except，but
這三個詞都可以用來表示轉(zhuǎn)折，但是用法有所區(qū)別：
(1)except與besides 用于肯定句時，except意為“除…外(不再有)”；besides意為“除…外(還有)”：
例如：
We all passed the exam besides Tom. 除了湯姆外，我們也都及格了（湯姆也及格了）
注意：
besides在句中的位置較活，可放在句首，亦可放在句中或句末；而except多放在句尾。
(2)except前幾乎總有all，any，every，no及其復合詞等詞，而besides前面可用也可不用，依句意而定：
例如：
He answered all the questions except the last one. 除最后一個問題沒答外，其余問題他都答了。
All of them went to Beijing last summer besides Tom. 除了湯姆外，他們?nèi)ツ晗奶煲捕既ミ^北京。
(3)except，but，besides用于否定句時，可以互換。
如：
There aren’t any other people to be considered besides/except/but you.
除你之外，其他人將不予考慮。
I didn’t look anywhere besides/except in your bedroom. 除了你的臥室外，我哪兒也沒去找。
(4)but和except都可以和for連用，構(gòu)成短語；也可跟 that 從句做賓語。
如：
l asked nothing from him but/except that he should write to me every other week．
我只要求他每兩周給我寫一封信。
You can't succeed in the exam but/except that you will work still harder．
你若不比以前學習更用功些，是不可能考上的。
二. 重點句型
1. There be …
是“某處有某人或某物”的句型表示“存在”，注意：本句型要用就近一致的原則。
另外，There be句型有一些擴展形式：There + live（lie，stand，come，go）＋主語＋其它。
如：
(1)Once upon a time，there lived a king.
(2)There goes the bell.
(3)On the hill（there）stands a house.
注意此句：There will have a class meeting this Thursday afternoon.是錯誤的。
應將其改為：There will be a class meeting this Thursday afternoon.
對there be句型中的主語提問時，無論主語是單數(shù)還是復數(shù)都用“What’s + 地點狀語？”
如：
There are five apples on the plate.→What’s on the plate?
2. too…to，so…that…和enough to do sth. 的句式在一定的情況下可以互換。
(1)在肯定句中含so … that …的復合句可以轉(zhuǎn)換成含有enough to do sth. 結(jié)構(gòu)的句子。
如：
He worked so hard that he finished the work in time.
→He worked hard enough to finish the work in time.
If your son feels well enough to watch TV by then，he’ll be fine after the game.
→If your son feels so well that he can watch TV by then，he’ll fine after the game.
(2)在具有否定意義的句中，三者可以相互轉(zhuǎn)換，但應注意too…to在和enough to do sth. 與so…that…轉(zhuǎn)換時，應用句中形容詞的反義詞或?qū)hat從句改為否定句。
如：
He is too young to join the army.
→He is so young that he can’t join the army.
或：He isn’t old enough to join the army.
(3)如果so…that…結(jié)構(gòu)中主句和從句的主語不是一致的，應在enough to do sth和too…to結(jié)構(gòu)中的不定式前加上“for sb.（sth.）”的短語。
如：
English is so useful that all of us should learn it well.
→English is useful enough for us to learn well.
The maths problem is so difficult that I can’t work it out.
→The maths problem is too difficult for me to work out.
或: The maths problem isn’t easy enough for me to work out.
3. like后既可接動詞-ing形式，也可接動詞不定式。含意卻有所不同。
如：
He likes swimming in Summer.（表示習慣愛好）
It’s very hot. He would like to（have a）swim.
(表示具體的一次行為)：hate等也有類似的用法。

參考答案：
Ⅰ. 看圖
1. building 2. scientists 3. housework 4. ticket 5. parrot 6. kitchen
Ⅱ. 單項選擇
1. 此題考查學生句子中的詞語搭配。“舉行運動會”為hold a sports meeting，但句中有“there”一詞，決定要用there be句型，表示“某時有…”，雖然have也有“有”的含義，但它是“(某人/某物)有”故本題答案為A。
2. 此題考查學生對助動詞、情態(tài)動詞的理解。will，shall，would都有征求對方意見之意，語氣都很委婉、客氣，但它們接的人稱代詞不同。will，would常接第二人稱you，shall接第一人稱I和we。故此題答案選C。
3. 此題考查學生對little/ a little，few / a few的理解。a little/ little修飾不可數(shù)名詞，a few/ few修飾可數(shù)名詞。而a little，a few表示“有點，少數(shù)幾個”，在句中有肯定含義；little/ few表示“少數(shù)”，“幾乎沒有”在句中有否定含義。此題中English是不可數(shù)名詞，weeks是可數(shù)名詞，所以答案為A。
4. 本題考查疑問詞的用法。how long指時間長短，如two days；how often問頻率，如three times a day；how much問(不可數(shù))多少；而how far問距離，而本題half an hour’s bus ride指的是距離，故選C。
5. B much, a little, a bit等可以修飾形容詞的比較級。
6. B 同第一題。
7. C 看電影要用動詞see，worth doing表示值得做……。
8. A so表示程度。
Ⅲ. 完形填空
1. A 從下文“I had to do...”，可看出是拿出練習本。
2. C 前后有轉(zhuǎn)折關系。
3. D use表示運用，符合文意。
4. B 作者認學數(shù)學無用，日常生活用不上數(shù)學，因為平時有電腦。
5. C 吃完早飯就做數(shù)學作業(yè)，可推斷是上午。
6. A at last 表示“最后”的意思。
7. B 由上文，可知道作者對數(shù)學的態(tài)度。
8. A 上午做數(shù)學，中飯后，也就是下午，做地理練習。
9. C 從下文可知答案。
10. D around意為“在……周圍”，take sb. around the world的意思是“帶領某人周游世界”。
11. B 從作者對地理的態(tài)度，可知他的計劃認真。
12. A it takes sb. time to do sth.是固定句型，意為“花時間干某事”。
13. B 從上文可知，媽媽對作者花了整個下午學地理有點擔心。
14. B the whole=all the，表示“全部的”，“整個的”。
15. C but 作介詞，后接v-ing分詞，和前面not watching連用，意思是“不是……而是……”。
Ⅳ. 閱讀理解
1. C 文中說Mr. Robert不喜歡看體育和比賽節(jié)目，而上午只有Channel 9 的節(jié)目不是體育和比賽，故選C。
2. D 從這幾個晚上的節(jié)目來看，只有奧運會特別節(jié)目才會報導當天奧運會的結(jié)果。
3. A 細節(jié)題。 Tony上午要做作業(yè)，看不成動畫片，只好下午看Channel 2動畫片節(jié)目。

Review of units 4--5
一. 重點詞匯短語
1. as well as
as well as同，和，也；既……也……。
如：
John can speak Chinese as well as French. 約翰會說法語，也會說中文。
It is important for you as well as for me. 它不僅對我重要，對你也是一樣。
We shall travel by night as well as by day. 我們白天、晚上都要趕路。
as well 在口語中用得很多，用法和 too 完全一樣，可以互換，通常位于句末。
如：
She not only sings also plays the piano as well． 她不但會唱歌，而且會彈鋼琴。
I can do it as well． 這事我也能做。
2. “see sb. do sth.”意思是“看見某人做過什么”，它強調(diào)動作完成了，而“see sb. doing sth.” 意思是“看見某人正在做什么”，它強調(diào)動作正在進行。
例如:
I saw him crossing the street. 我看見他正在過馬路。
I saw him cross the street. 我看見他過馬路了。
I heard him singing in the next room. 我聽見他在隔壁唱歌。
I heard him sing in the next room. 我聽見他在隔壁唱歌了。
3. worth是一個只能作表語的形容詞，意為“值……的”、“相當于……的價值的”。由于它類似介詞，須后接名詞或動名詞（有被動的含義）作賓語。
如：
The used car is still worth $200． 這輛二手車依然值200美元。
Is the exhibition worth a visit／visiting？ 這個展覽會值得去參觀嗎？
It's not worth getting angry with him． 犯不著跟他生氣。
It isn't worth waiting for him. 不值得等他。
4. when/while
when 既可用于一點時間(從句的謂語動詞需用終止性動詞)， 也可用于一段時間(從句的動詞用延續(xù)性動詞)， 從句與主句里面的謂語動詞所表示的動作或狀態(tài)能同時發(fā)生或一先一后分別發(fā)生。
例如：
He wants to help people when they are ill. 他想在人們生病時幫助他們。
When he got to Shanghai，the ship had already set off. 他到達上海時，輪船已經(jīng)開走了。
while只能用于指一段時間(從句的謂語動詞必須是延續(xù)性的)，從句與主句里面的謂語動詞所表示的動作只能同時發(fā)生， 不能一前一后發(fā)生。
例如：
One day while they were working in the fields，some farmers saw something strange in the sky. 有一天，一些農(nóng)民在田間勞動的時候，看見空中有些奇怪的東西。
While I was reading，my mother was washing clothes. 我讀書時，我媽媽在洗衣服。
這兩個詞還可以用作并列連詞。when 是“在那時”或“這時突然”(and just at that time)的意思， 用來連接兩個并列分句，有時 when分句前有逗號把前后兩個分句分開。
例如：
An Arab was walking alone through the desert when he met two men.
有個阿拉伯人正獨自在沙漠里行走，這時他碰見了兩個人。
I stayed till sunset，when it began to rain. 我一直呆到太陽下山， 天開始下雨了。
while 意為“而，卻”，表示對照關系。
例如：
Instead，he asked his father why he was not able to hatch chickens while hens could.
他反而問他父親，為什么他不能孵出小雞，而母雞卻能。
5. instead和instead of
instead是副詞，意為“代替”，“頂替”，在句中作狀語。
例如：
If you are busy，you may come another day instead． 要是你忙的話，就改日再來吧。
He never studies．Instead，he plays all day and all night． 他不學習，而整日整夜地玩。
instead of是介詞短語，表示“代替”的意義時，常常和in place of互換使用，其后?？捎妹~、代詞、動名詞；instead of還含有“對比”的意思。
如：
Give me that dictionary instead of this one．把那本字典給我而不是這一本。（代替）
I want to fly to Being instead of taking a train．我想坐飛機去北京不想坐火車去（代替）
This book is dull instead of interesting. 這本書不但無趣，反倒枯燥無味。（對比）
In the morning，we get up early instead of late． 早晨我們起早不起晚。（對比）
6. be good for和be good at
be good for意為“有益于…”，“對…有用”，后面接名詞、代詞或動詞的-ing形式；

例如：
This medicine is good for fever. 這種藥對治療發(fā)燒有效。
This kind of wood is good for making boxes. 這種木料適合用來做箱子。

7. too…to…意為“太……而不能”，表示否定。

too…not to…意為“太……不能不”，表示肯定。
如：

1. 直接引語是陳述句，變成間接引語，由連詞that 引導。
例如：
The teacher said，“ I am very happy to hear the news.”
→The teacher said that he was very happy to hear the news. （注意人稱、時態(tài)的變化）
2. 直接引語是一般、選擇或反問疑問句，變成間接引語，由連詞whether或if 引導。
例如：
He asked me，“Are you free tomorrow?”
→He asked me if/whether I was free the next day. （注意人稱、時態(tài)及時間狀語的變化）
3. 直接引語是特殊疑問句，變成間接引語，由相應的疑問詞引導，如who，whom，what，whose，how，when， why，where等。
例如：
Jenny asked me，“ Where is Mary from?”→Jenny asked me where Mary was from.
(注意：間接引語一定要用陳述句的語序，即主、謂、賓的順序。)
4. 直接引語是祈使句，變成間接引語，把動詞原形變成動詞不定式，并在動詞不定前加tell，ask，order的賓語。
例如：
“Be careful”，the teacher said. →The teacher told us to be careful.
My teacher asked me， “ Don’t laugh.”→My teacher asked me not to laugh.
(注意：否定句，在動詞不定式前加not)
5. 直接引語是客觀事實、永恒真理，變成間接引語時，時態(tài)不變。
例如：
They told their son，“The earth goes round the sun.”
→They told their son that the earth goes round the sun.
Ⅱ. 現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來的時間
1. 用be doing表示將來：主要意義是表示按計劃、安排即將發(fā)生的動作，常用于位置轉(zhuǎn)移的動詞，如：go，come，leave，arrive等，也可用于其他動作動詞。
如：
We are having fish for dinner. 我們晚飯吃魚。
We are moving to a different hotel the day after tomorrow. 后天我們會去另外一個旅館。
這種用法通常帶有表示將來的時間狀語，如果不帶時間狀語，則根據(jù)上下文可表示最近即將發(fā)生的動作。
A: Where are you going?
B: I am going for a walk. Are you coming with me?
A: Yes，I am just coming. Wait for me.
2. 現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來和用be going to 表示將來意思比較接近，但是現(xiàn)在進行時更強調(diào)事先已安排好，即將去做的事情， 而be going to 一般只表示打算做某事，有做某事的意圖。我們來看兩個例子：
如：
She is having a meeting at 9 tomorrow. 她明天早晨9點有個會。
We are leaving for London next week. 我們下周出發(fā)去倫敦。
這兩個句子里就是用現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來已經(jīng)安排好要做的事情。

Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was place “long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India，and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name“chess”is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king，he says，in English，“check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere，he says，“checkmate”. These words come from Persian.“Shah mat”means“the king is dead”. That is when the game is over，and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example，at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It could be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought，but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion(冠軍) in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play among many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must take chess the slowest game in the world.

5 the piece of paper in its mouth，the dog ran to the butcher's shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it 6 ，recognized(辨認) that it was 7 the lady's handwriting and soon did 8 he was asked to. The dog was very happy，and ate the meat up at once.
At midday，the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it，he gave half a pound of meat 9 .
The next day，the dog came again just at midday. And as usual，it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time，the butcher did not take a look at the paper，and gave the dog
10 meat，for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(顧客).
But，the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again，To the butcher's surprise，it came for the third time at six o'clock. The butcher 11 puzzled(疑惑). He said to himself，“This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”

參考答案
Ⅰ. 選詞填空
1. With with the help of sb. 在某人的幫助下。 2. be seen
3. oldest 比較范圍是世界，應該用最高級。 4. been
5. to win 不定式做真正的主語。 6. in 表示狀態(tài)，穿……衣服。
7. How long
Ⅱ. 單項選擇。
1. D “我在看報時，他突然走了進來”when相當于just at that time“就在那時”，而那一瞬間正在進行的動作主句用了過去進行時，A，B兩項均不合題意，而while一般表示“與……同時”，兩個動作在某一時段內(nèi)同時進行，也不合題意，故選D正確。
2. D as usual 像平常一樣。
3. A ①refuse to do sth. 不肯做某事；?、诒仨氈匾暰渲械牟⒘羞B詞but ，表示轉(zhuǎn)折。
4. B “這件襯衣很棒，但是太貴”。pay和spend主語應是人，排除A，D。It takes/ took sb. time to do sth. “花了某人多少時間做某事”，根據(jù)上下文，題干中的it指"襯衣"，不會表示為“襯衣花多少時間”，排除C。sth. costs /cost (sb.) money“某物花了（某人）多少錢”，題干部分應理解為“襯衣要花費太多的錢”，選B正確。
5. B 這是感嘆句，因為移到原一般句前面的強調(diào)部分中有可數(shù)名詞book，所以應加冠詞，而interesting的第一音素是元音所以要加an。
6. B for后于一段時間連用，應該用完成時。
7. C see sb / sth. do / doing。
8. A
9. A last night暗示用過去時。
10. A fall behind 落后于……。
Ⅲ. 閱讀理解。
1.D 第一段第二句話表明。

八年級下學期期中復習（一）
一．重點詞匯
1. in the future
in the future意為“將來，一段時間之后的事”；in future意為“今后”，可解釋為from now on,如：
The little boy didn’t know what he would do in the future, but he did know that he wouldn’t talk with Bob in future because they had just had a big fight.

注意要表示 “告訴某人某事”時，須用tell sb. about sth.這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)。
4. argue with sb和discuss
argue 重在就自己的看法、立場提出論證說理，以說服他人。
而 discuss 重在交換意見，進行討論，不含有意說服對方的成分, 如：
I argued with him for a long time，but he refused to listen to reason.
我和他辯論了好久，但他拒不服理。

argue的常見搭配有：

5. enough “足夠的，充足的”
enough作為形容詞放在名詞之前，起修飾名詞作用，作為副詞修飾形容詞或副詞放置其后，常用于：

八年級下學期期中復習（二）
一．重點詞匯
1. different kinds of
意為“不同種類的”，“各種各樣的”，等于all kinds of，kinds of 后面接可數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞均可。
kind有兩個詞性：
1）kind作名詞，意為“種類”。
如：
There are many kinds of animals in the zoo. 動物園里有很多種動物。
2）kind作形容詞，意為“和善的，友好的”。
如：
It's very kind of you to help me. 你幫助我真是太好了。
2. advice
意為“勸告，意見，忠告”等，是不可數(shù)名詞，前不加冠詞。
可用“a piece of advice”，“pieces of advice”的結(jié)構(gòu)來表示數(shù)量。
與advice搭配的動詞短語有：
ask sb. for advice 向某人征求意見
follow/take sb's advice 遵從某人的勸告
give sb. some advice 給某人提出建議
如：
The doctor gave us some advice on how to improve our health.
醫(yī)生對如何提高我們的身體素質(zhì)提出了一些建議。
3. 辨析leave和forget
這兩個詞都有“遺忘，忘記”的意思，但用法不同，注意區(qū)別。
1）leave+sth.+sp. 指“把某物遺忘在某地”
如：
I left my notebook in the classroom. 我把筆記本忘在教室里了。
2）forget to do sth.指“忘記去做某事”
forget doing sth. 指“忘記做過某事”
如：
I forget to tell her about it. 我忘了把這件事告訴她。
I forgot telling her about it. 我忘記曾把這件事告訴過她。
4. in hospital
該短語譯為“住院”，hospital前面無冠詞，表示抽象概念。
而短語“in the hospital”則譯為“在醫(yī)院里”，并非生病住院之意。
在英語中，介詞和一些單數(shù)名詞連用，可以表示抽象概念。
如
at school 上學 go to school 上學 go to bed 上床睡覺
in/ out of jail 坐牢/出獄
5. take a day off
該短語譯為“休一天假”。off表示缺席、不在、不工作或責任的免除，如：
You mustn't take a day off just because you want to see a football match.
你不能只是為了想看一場足球賽而休息一天。
I think I will take the afternoon off， because I get sick.
我想我下午要休假，因為我實在是病了。
6. be mad at...“對……非常憤怒，惱火”，如：
They were mad at missing the train. 沒趕上火車，他們氣得發(fā)瘋。
mad還可以和其他的介詞搭配構(gòu)成一些短語。
如：
be mad about“對……狂熱，著迷”；
go mad “發(fā)瘋，瘋了”。
7. bring...to... “把……帶到……來”。其反義詞組為“take...to....”，即“把……帶到……去”，如：
It is raining heavily outside. Take an umbrella with you.外面正在下雨，隨身帶把傘吧。
Please bring the long ruler here，and take the short one away. 請拿把長尺子到這兒來，把這把短的帶走。
Mum，please bring the English book and the CDs to school. I need them for my English class.
媽媽，請把英語書和CD碟帶到學校來。我上英語課時要用的。
8. be supposed to 為“認為必須；認為應該；認為……必要”，如：
Am I supposed to clean all the rooms? 我必須打掃所有的房間嗎？
You are supposed to pay the bill by Friday. 你最晚在星期五必須結(jié)清這筆賬。
9. remind
remind及物動詞，意為“提醒，使記起，使想起。”
remind + doing sth.和remind sb. of sth.都可以表示“提醒某人做某事情”
如：
Please remind him closing the window when he goes to school.
他去上學的時候，記得提醒他關窗戶。
10. make money 賺錢，掙錢。
make money=earn money 賺錢
如： He makes money by fishing. 他靠打魚賺錢。
11. hard與 hardly
hard 為副詞，意思是“努力地，費力地，辛苦地”, 如：
He works hard.他努力工作。
hardly否定副詞，意思為“幾乎不”，表示否定含義, 如：
He works hardly. 他幾乎不工作。
12. response
相當于answer，reply，但是比這兩個詞的用法要正式。
常用于詞組response to sb./sth.“回復某人或某事”，注意to在這里是介詞，它后面要跟名詞或代詞。
如： I've had no response to his letter. 我還沒有給他回信。
13. be good at 和 do well in
這兩個詞組都意為“擅長……、善于……”；
be good at 側(cè)重于慣常的行為，do well in 側(cè)重于具體的事情，指做某事做得好，但是現(xiàn)在這兩個詞組用法的區(qū)別日益縮小，通?？梢曰Q。
be good at的比較級是be better at，反義詞組是be weak in；
do well in 的比較級是do better in，反義詞組是do badly in。
如： I am good at English composition.
You must do well in this test.
二. 重點結(jié)構(gòu)
1. It seems that…是一個固定句型，“看來，似乎是，好像”的意思。相當于“主語+ seem+ to do”， 如果動詞不定式為to be ＋ 形容詞時，to be往往省略。
如：
It seems that she is very sad. 她似乎很難過。
= She seems (to be) very sad.
It seems that he likes his new job. 他看起來很喜歡他的新工作。
= He seems to like his new job.
It seems that與人稱代詞連用，意為：“感到好像，覺得似乎”，
如：
It seems to me that it will snow. 我看要下雪。
2. What's wrong (with sb./ sth.)?
What's wrong? 的意思是“怎么啦？”，用于詢問發(fā)生了一件什么事情，也可以在what's wrong的后面接一介詞短語，詢問某人或某物出了什么問題。
如：
— What's wrong? 怎么回事？
— I don't know. 我不知道。
— What's wrong with your bike， Jake? 你的自行車怎么啦，Jake？
— It is broken. 我的車壞了。
There is something wrong with his leg. 他的腿出了毛病。
類似的表達方法還有：
What’s the matter (with sb./ sth.)?
What’s the trouble (with sb./ sth.)?
What’s up?
3. It is + adj. / n. + for sb. to do sth.，做某事對某人來說……，在這個句型中真正的主語是動詞不定式，也就是to do sth.是真正的主語，而it只是形式主語，如果不強調(diào)對某人的影響，可以省略for sb.
如：
It’s very good for you to read more English books. 多讀些英語書對你來說是很有益處的。
It is quiet surprising to hear the news. 聽到這個消息確實很震驚。
4. If +一般現(xiàn)在時句子，主語+一般將來時。
這是我們初中學習階段中比較重要的結(jié)構(gòu)，是if引導的條件狀語從句。這里最關鍵的是要注意從句與主句的時態(tài)。
如：
If he is ill，he won’t go to school. 如果他生病了，就不會上學了。

Canada has long and cold winters. But people there are not afraid. Ice and snow are just part of their lives.
In the coldest months，people across the country go to snow festivals. Canadians believe that there is a winter king living in an ice palace. To make the king happy，they make snow sculptures(雕像). Canadians are really good at it! Many young people take a snow bath(雪浴) to show that they are not afraid of the cold. They take off all their clothes，then play and dance in the snow!
Other exciting games are skiing，skating，and snow rafting(雪上橡皮艇). For Canadian kids， making snowmen or rooms out of snow are the most fun things to do. To make a snow room，they make a big hill out of snow. Then they scoop out a small room. Inside，a lamp will keep the snow room warm.
Sometimes，heavy snow makes travelling difficult. But Canadians don't worry. They have clever and strong Husky dogs. Usually six to eight dogs work together pulling one sled(雪撬). Dog-sledding is also a popular sport. To make travelling through snow faster，Canadians use snowmobiles. They move as fast as cars，but they are only for brave (勇敢的) people.

So in the three days he went round the class and sold the “test paper” to his classmates. James felt happy because he got $40. All the students were sure that these questions would be in the test paper. The questions were quite difficult so they had to work hard at preparing them.
The day for the exam came. Mr. Trotter walked into the classroom. “History test，”he said and then gave out the test paper. Oh dear! It was different from the paper that James had found.

Some people remember the things by writing notes to themselves. Then they leave the notes
in obvious(明顯的) places，such as on the table or no the floor in the middle of the living
room. I don’t think I like to write notes to myself. Most of the time I lose them or forget
to look at them until it’s too late. I prefer to use an alarm clock(鬧鐘) to tell me what I
should do. I have ten alarm clocks in my house. They could tell me about things. For example，
if I have to make a telephone call at a certain time，I’ll set an alarm clock to go off a
few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone. Or if I want to watch a certain television programme，I’ll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on top of
the TV set. I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks. However，sometimes an alarm
clock goes off and I don’t know what it means. I always remember setting it，but not why I
set it. If the clock is by the telephone. I know I may have set it to tell me to call someone，
but I can’t be sure. I might have set it to tell myself that somebody was to call me at a
certain time.
47. Some people like to write notes to themselves so that they can __________.
A. leave them in obvious places B. remember what to do at a certain time

現(xiàn)在完成進行時表達“某一動作從過去開始一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，有可能還要持續(xù)下去”，現(xiàn)在完成進行時的句子中多用延續(xù)性動詞，如：live，learn，study，work等。
(1)I have been learning English for ten years. 我學英語已經(jīng)十年了。
(2)She has been skating for four hours. 到現(xiàn)在為止她滑冰已經(jīng)有四個小時了。
(3)I have been collecting stamps since I was ten years old. 我從十歲起就一直在集郵。
在這幾個句子中，have和has是助動詞，疑問形式需把助動詞提前，否定形式在have或has后面加not，have not和has not可以分別縮寫成haven’t和hasn’t，如：
(1)Have you been doing your homework since this morning? 從今天早晨起你就一直在寫作業(yè)吧？
(2)Has he been writing the letters to his friend? 他是一直在給他的朋友寫信嗎？
(3)I haven’t been seeing films for a long time. 我有很長時間沒有看電影了。
（表明沒有看電影這個動作從過去一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，還要繼續(xù)持續(xù)下去。）
2.現(xiàn)在完成進行時與現(xiàn)在完成時的區(qū)別：
(1)現(xiàn)在完成時強調(diào)動作的完成，而現(xiàn)在完成進行時側(cè)重的是動作的持續(xù)進行。
如：
I have read a book about birds. （已經(jīng)讀完）
I have been reading a book about birds.（一直都在讀，現(xiàn)在還在讀，有可能會繼續(xù)讀下去）
(2)兩種時態(tài)都有延續(xù)性， 但現(xiàn)在完成時往往只說明一個事實，一種影響或結(jié)果，無感情色彩；現(xiàn)在完成進行時表示一個動作的延續(xù)、重復，有時有一定的感情色彩。
如：
She has been singing all the day. 她都唱了一整天了。（抱怨、厭煩）
