population / p pj le n/ n. 人口
population 为集体名词，通常与冠词连用，被看成一个整体。
e.g. China is a country with a large population.

考点1
表示人口“多”或“少”时，一般用large 或small 来修饰，而不用many、more 或few等修饰。
拓展：表示某一地点有多少人口时，用“ 地点＋ has a population of ＋数词”或者“the population of ＋地点＋ is ＋数词” 结构。
e.g. Our town has a population of about 20,000.
我们镇大约有两万人。
The population of our town is about 20,000.
我们镇大约有两万人。
【重点】提问某地有多少人口时，用What 而不用How many 或How much。
e.g. What’s the population of Hebei Province
河北省有多少人口？
询问某地人口常用结构是：“What is/was the population of＋地点？”
中考在线1：—_______ the population of Tianshui

考点6
一语辨异：We all went there except him last time. This time we’ll all go there besides him.上次除了他没有去那里外，我们都去了。这次除他去以外，我们也都将去那里。
辨析：except, except for 与besides
except “除了”，宾语被排除在句子表示的事情之外，表示从总数中减去或例外。
except for “除……之外”，常用于非同类事物中的排除。
besides “除了”，宾语被包括在句子所表述的事情范围之内，表示包括在内。
e.g. A pig doesn’t do anything except eat and sleep.
猪除了吃和睡别的什么也不干。
如果介词except之前含有动词do(包括do的各种形式)，则except后面接动词原形。
中考在线4：All of us helped to clean up the old people’s home ________ Eric. He had a bad cold. [黔东南]
A. besides B. against C. except D. with
【点拨】本题采用词语辨析法。句意为“除了埃里克，我们都帮助打扫了老人之家。他得了重感冒”。besides 除……外( 还有) ；against 对着，反对；except 除……之外；with 带有，具有。根据后一句“He had a bad cold.”可知，埃里克没有去帮助打扫老人之家。
