9.be like 某人怎样，什么样
★ 知识点精讲
1.be afraid of sb (sth ). 害怕某人某物
【用法】afraid 用作形容词，意为“害怕的，担心的”，无比较级和最高级，不能作定语，只做表语；短语be afraid of 表示害怕某人某物，后接名词、代词或动名词。be afraid of doing sth 害怕担心某事发生；be afraid to do sth ：（因害怕）不敢做某事。
常用相关句型短语还有 I' m afraid that 从句：“我恐怕……”。I' m afraid so :“我恐怕是这样。”
I' m afraid not : “我恐怕不行”。
【典型例析】①Most people are afraid of snakes. 大多数人都害怕蛇。
② The boy was afraid to cross the bridge ,because he was afraid of falling down from it . 这个男孩不敢通过这座桥，因为他害怕从桥上掉下来。
【中考链接】--I have not seen Jack for 3 days. Is he ill ? ---_____ . His mother told me that he was in hospital .
A . I' m afraid so. B . I hope not.
C . I don' t expect. D .I' m afraid not
[解析】答案 A. I' m afraid so “我恐怕如此”，I hope not.“我希望不是这样 ”，I don' t expect.“我不希望”，I' m afraid not “我恐怕不会这样”。根据句意“我有三天没见到杰克了，他妈妈说她住在医院里。”可知我恐怕他病了，所以选A.
2. a couple of days 几天
【用法】couple 用作名词，“一双，一对，夫妻。”
a couple of “两三个，几个，一些”= a few =several . 后跟名词复数。
如：I will come again in a couple of days . 几天后我会再来的。
3. wait a minute 等一会。同义短语有wait a moment , hold on 等。
wait for sb : 等某人，wait for the bus （ train ）：等公交（火车）。可见wait 后要+介词for 才能跟人或车辆，但是在公共汽车站（或火车站）等，wait 和 the bus stop (或 the train station ）中间要用at， 不用 for 。
4. be interested in 对……感兴趣
interested adj. 感兴趣的，指人对某事物感兴 趣，往往主语是人
interesting adj.有趣的，指某事物/某人具有趣味，主语往往是物
【探索规律】以ed 结尾的形容词，做主语的都是人，如 excited (人兴奋的，激动的），surprised （人感到奇怪的，吃惊的），relaxed（人放松的），tired （人感到累的）等等。对应的以ing 的形容词，做主语的都是物，如 exciting (令人兴奋的，激动的），surprising （令人感到奇怪的，吃惊的），relaxing（令人放松的），tiring （让人感到累的）等等。
【典型例析】：① We are _____ in the _____ science .
A . interested , interesting .
B .interesting, interested .C. interested , interesting.
D . interested , interesting
答案 A . 我们对有趣的科学感兴趣。
play the piano : 弹钢琴
play soccer : 踢(英式）足球
play是动词，意为“玩，弹奏乐器，打球等”。请注意在乐器前必须加the ，如 guitar （吉他）、violin （小提琴）、trumpet （小号）等。在球类运动名词前一定不能加the， 如 basketball（篮球）、football （足球）、volleyball （排球）等。
6 6.used to do sth. 过去常常做某事。
【辨析】used to do/be(get)used to doing/be used to
do/be used for/be used by.
①used to do sth指过去常常习惯做某事，常常暗 含对比的意义，指过去习惯于做某事，而现在不做
了。否定形式：　didn’t use to do sth. /
used not to do sth. 一般疑问形式：Did+主语+
use to do sth.请特别注意：used to 后跟动词原形。
如：He used to play football after school. 放学后他过去常常踢足球。
Did he use to play football? Yes, I did. No, I didn’t. He didn’t use to smoke. 他过去不吸烟。
②be（get）used to doing意为“习惯于……”，短语中的to为介词，后跟动名词。be或get有逐渐适应的意思，请特别注意这里的to 是介词，后面的动词要加ing。如：I’m used to getting up early. I get used to getting up early.我习惯早起。
③be used to do意为“被用来做某事”；
④be used for意为“被用于做某事”,后跟动名词；
⑤be used by意为“被……使用”,后跟动作的执行者。③④⑤三个短语都是use的被动语态。
【跟踪训练】
(1)我爸爸以前常常晚饭后看电视，现在他习惯于散步。
My　father　　 　　　watch TV after supper.
Now he　　　　 　　　 　　taking a walk.
(2)刀被用来切东西。
Knives　　 　　　　 　　　cutting things。
【答案】（1.）used to ，is used to（2.）are used for
7.remember :动词“想起，记起”，反义词forget。
辨析remember to do sth 和 remember doing sth .
remember to do sth :“记住要去做某事，这个动作还没做，这个事还没发生。”remember doing sth : “记起想起来曾经做过某事，这个动作已经做过了，这个事已经发生，想起来过去曾经做过。”
【跟踪训练】：（1.） Please remember ______（call ） me with your mobile phone when you get there . （2.） I remembered ______ ( meet ) him in the street of London three years ago .
【答案】1. to call.请记得到那里之后给我打个电话。（电话还没打）
2.meeting. 我记得曾经在三年前在伦敦的大街上见过他。(遇见他的动作已发生过）
8. be like 与 look like : 两者意思接近，都是询问某人怎么样，但 be like 侧重于问某人的性格品质等。如：honest （诚实的）、shy（害羞的）等。而look like侧重于询问人的外貌特征。句型：What +be +sb +like ?(某人是个什么样的人？）
What+do/does+sb + look like ?(某人长得什么样子？）。其中的like是介词，“像……一样。”
★ 语法（重难句子解析）
1. Mario，you used to be short，didn't you?
玛利奥，你过去个子矮，是不是?
【精解】used to意为“过去经常；以前常常”，后跟动词原形，“used to do sth.”这一结构表示“过去常常做某事”，暗指现在不再做了。
【拓展延伸】used to结构面面观
①used to的用法
used to表示“过去经常；以前常常”，指过去的习惯性动作或状态，现在已不再存在，其中to是动词不定式符号，后接动词原形。
例如：Mother used to get up early.我妈妈过去经常起得很早。
②一般疑问句：Used sb.to...或Did sb.use to...
否定句:used to的否定形式为didn't use to或usedn't to，口语中常用usedn't to。
如：He used to be outgoing；（变为否定句）
He didn't use to be outgoing.
③反意疑问句：含有used to的句子，其反问部分用didn't或usedn't。
如：他过去吸烟，是吗?
He used to smoke，didn't he ?
④there used to be意为“过去曾经有”。
如：There used to be a tall tree in front of the house.这座房子前面曾经有一棵大树。
Don't you remember me ?难道你记不起来我了吗？ 本句是否定疑问句。
否定疑问句用来表示说话人的惊奇、不满、怀疑、高兴等语气心情，意为“难道……？”
如：1.）Can' t you walk a little faster ?难道你不能走得快些吗？
2.）Don' t you want to go to the party with us ?你难道不想和我们一起去参加派对吗？
3.) Don' t you want to see the writer ?你难道不想见那位作家吗？

★ 知识点精讲
1.【辨析】alone 与lonely
alone 做形容词或副词，意思是“单独的，独自地。”只能做表语，不能作定语。同义短语为 by oneself . 或 on one' s own.
lonely 做形容词，意思是“孤单的，寂寞的。”指主观上感到孤独，带有强烈的感彩。可做表语或定语。做表语表示感情上寂寞，作定语有“荒凉”的意思。
如：Sam likes music very much .He lives 　　　, but he never feels 　　　.
A. alone，lonely.B.alone,alone.
C .lonely,alone. D .lonely,lonely.
【解析】根据本句意思“山姆十分喜欢音乐，他独自一人生活，但从不感到孤独。”结合上面讲解来看，独自住用alone，感到孤独用lonely，所以选A。
2. 【辨析】in front of 和 in the front of
in front of ：“在……（外部的）前面。”前者在后者的场所范围之外的前方，两者互不包括，其反义词是behind （在……（外部的）后面）。
in the front of ：“在……（内部里面的）前边，前部。”前者在后者范围之内的后部，其反义短语是at the back of (在……内部里面的后部）。如：①There are some flowers in front of the house.房子前面有些花卉。②There is a big desk and a blackboard in the front of our classroom.我们的教室前边有一张大桌子和一块黑板。
3.How about …? = What about …? ……怎么样?
How about/ What about 后面可以跟名词、代词或动词ing 形式。特别要注意about是介词，后跟动词时，动词要加ing。如：
① What about going shopping today ?(今天去购物怎么样？ ） ----用来提供建议
②How about the TV play ? (这部电视剧怎么样？） -----用来询问意见
③I hear your father has gone to Beijing on business , what about your mother ? (我听说你的爸爸因公出差去北京了，你的妈妈呢？）----用来打听消息。
4.【辨析】go to bed, go to sleep,fall asleep
词条
含义
用法
go to bed
上床睡觉；就寝
强调动作，指脱衣上床睡觉。
go to sleep
入睡；睡着
强调过程，指渐渐睡着的过程。sleep动词，意思是睡觉。
fall asleep
睡着的,睡熟的，睡得香的
强调“睡着的”状态。asleep是形容词，“睡着的”。
sleepy
困乏的，昏昏欲睡的
强调精神疲倦快睡着，似睡似醒。feel sleepy“感觉困的”
如：Don't tum on the TV.Grandma　　　　now.
A.is sleeping B.will sleep C.slept D.sleeps
句意：不要打开电视，奶奶正在睡觉。所以选A.
5. be terrified of 害怕，恐惧
be terrified of意为“非常害怕的；极度恐惧的”，后跟名词、代词或动名词。其同义短语为be afraid of。be terrified of 害怕的程度比 be afraid of 深. 【拓展】terrify .使害怕；使恐惧
6. with my bedroom light on 开着卧室的灯。
on为形容词，意为“开着的；接通的；工作着的”。
【拓展】turn on打开（电器、电源等）；on TV通过电视；on the swim team在游泳队；on Monday morning在星期一早上
with 是介词“和……一起，拥有，具有”，在这里“with+名词+介词/形容词”结构，在句中作状语，表示伴随状况。
如：① This is a big garden with many trees .这是一个有很多树的大花园。
② I often go to school with Mary.我经常和玛丽一起去上学。
③The poor woman walked through the street with a baby on her back. . 这个可怜的妇女背上背着个婴儿，走着穿过大街。
④ The teacher came into the classroom with a book in her arm .老师腋下夹着一本书走进教室。
★ 语法（重难句子解析）
1. Here is a list of things many people are afraid of. Which of these things did you use to be afraid of ? 这里是许多人害怕的事情的一份清单。这些事情中你过去常常害怕哪一个？
many people are afraid of 是定语从句，修饰things.a list of “一系列的，一份清单”。主句是倒装句，is 和 list 一致，而不是和things 一致。
2. What did you use to do when you were younger ? 当你更年轻时，你过去常常做什么？
1) did you use to do 是used to do 的疑问句形式。2）when 引导时间状语从句，“当……的时候。” 3.）younger 是形容词young的比较级“年龄更小，更年轻”。

★ 知识点精讲
1.paint pictures 画画
paint 可以作名词，“颜料，涂料，油漆”，也可以作动词，“涂上颜色，抹上油漆，绘画”。paint当动词“画画，绘画”用法时，=draw。
【拓展词语】painter: “油漆工，画家”
painting：“绘画作品，油画，水彩画”
【跟踪训练】He drew a picture in oils.(同义词替换） A. bought. B.painted. C . colored. D .took.
2. all the time 一直，总是
all the time 意为“ 一直，始终”，在句中做状语。
如：If you are famous , people will watch you all the time. 如果你出名了，人们会一直关注着你。
【拓展词语】on time：按时，准时
in time ：及时； at times: 有时
from time to time ： 偶尔，有时；
have a good time : 玩的开心；
at the same time :同时，在同时
3.walk to school 步行到校=go to school on foot.
其中walk 是动词，用在主语后作谓语，“步行，走着”，介词短语on foot 作方式状语，提问用how，请特别注意on foot 不能直接用在主语后作谓语，它的前面要加上动词go 等。类似用法：
take a bus to school = go to school by bus.
ride a bike to work = go to work by bike.
介词短语by bike 也不能作谓语，请特别注意by后直接+车辆，不用冠词a 或the。
4. 【辨析】spend, pay,cost与take
词条
主语
用法
固定句型
spend表示某人花费多少时间或钱在某事或某物或做某事上
主语是人
含意是花费。后跟表示时间或金钱的名词，
sb.+spends+时间/金钱十on sth./（in）doing sth..
take表示花费某人多长时间做某事。
形式主语是it，真正主语是后面的不定式。
含义是需要，花费。take后跟人和时间，
It takes/took+sb.+时间/金钱+to do sth.
cost表示某物花费某人多少钱。
主语是物，即要买的东西，而不是人。
含义是“花去，价值”。cost后跟人和钱。
sth.+cost+sb.+金钱。
pay表示某人支付多少钱买某物。
主语是人。
含义是“支付，掏钱”
sb.+pay+金钱+for+sth.
如：（1.） It 　　　　 Yang Liwei about 21 hours to circle the earth in his spaceship.
A.paid B.spent C.cost D.took.
杨利伟在宇宙飞船里大约绕地球行走了21小时的时间。符合句型：It takes/took+sb.+时间/金钱+to do sth. 所以选 D .
(2.) 这本字典花了我四十元钱。The dictionary.　　　　me 40 yuan.=I　　　　40 yuan for the dictionary..
第一句做主语的是要买的东西字典，所以用cost，第二句后有for，联系句型sb.+pay+金钱+for+sth.所以用pay，再结合句意用过去时，所以填cost， paid 。
5. worry about sb/ sth : 担心某人（某物）
其中的worry是动词，“担心”。而 be worried about sb/ sth .中的worried 是形容词，“担心的”。请特别注意这两个短语中的about不要受汉语翻译的影响，把about 误用成 for。
如：1.）不要为我担心。 worry me.
（答案：Don' t ,about )
2.) 妈妈担心她的儿子。Mother
is her son. （答案：is,worrying )
6. not … any more 不再
not与助动词连写，用在句中主语后，any more 用在句末，同义短语是not … any longer
no more (用在句中)=not…any more (用在句尾) 指次数;
no longer (用在句中)=not…any longer (用在句尾) 指时间.
如：(1)她不再住儿了。She　　　　live here　　 　　 . （答案：didn' t,any longer )
You aren't a chi1d 　　　 　　　（不再）.You should 1ook after yourself. ( 答案：any,longer )
7.have to具有客观性，不以人的主观意志为转移.是在外部条件的制约影响下不得不做某事；而must强调主观性，一定必须做某事。have to可以用于各种时态，而must则不能。
如：(1.)他不得不早起赶早班车。
He has to get up early to catch the early bus。
(2)我们必须学好英语。
We 　must learn　English　well　.
hardly adv. “几乎不、没有”，短语hardly ever =almost never: 很少,几乎从不。hardly本身是个否定词，和never一样，所在句子不用加not，就表示否定句，构成反意疑问句时，简短问句不用再加not，用肯定形式即可，另外注意hardly和大部分副词在句中的位置一样，hardly 修饰动词时，通常放在助动词、情态动词之后，实义动词之前。如：
You can hardly understand them，can you? 你几乎不能够明白他们, 是不是？
　　They hardly have time to do it，do they ? 他们几乎没有时间去做了，对吗？
★ 语法（重难句子解析）
1. In the past I didn't use to like tests, but now I don't worry about tests . 在过去我常常不喜欢考试，但是现在我不再担心考试。
in the past 是时间状语“在过去”，didn't use to是used to 的否定形式。
2.My biggest problem is that I am too busy . When I was young , I used to have so much time,but these days I get up early and stay in school all day. 我最大的问题麻烦是我太忙了。当我小的时候，我常常有那么多的时间，但是现在我要早起，然后整天都呆在学校里。
1) biggest 是形容词big 的最高级，I am too busy在句中做表语从句。2.）all day ：整天。3.）so much time：这么多的时间。so much意为“如此多的”，修饰不可数名词。so many意为“如此多的”，修饰可数名词复数。
如：我太忙了，我有这么多家庭作业要做。
I am too busy.I have　　　 　　　
homework to do. （答案： so much ）
【拓展】（1）so....that...意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句；so that意为“以便；为了”，相当于in order to，引导目的状语他跑得如此快，我们跟不上他。
He ran　　　　quickly　　　　we couldn't keep up with him （答案： so ，that ）
(2)She got up early so that she could catch the early bus.（同义句转换）
She got up early 　　　 　　　 　　　catch the early bus. （答案：in order to ）
【拓展】（2）“so+助动词+主语”意为“……也是如此”，代替上句提到的A的情况或事实也符合B,前后主语不一致；“so+主语+助动词”意为“……确实……”，表示赞同强调A的确如此，前后是同一个主语。
如(1.)—Tom can speak French.—　　　 　　　　
　　　　（我也会说）.
(2.)—Li Lei is good at swimming.
—　　　　 　　　　 　　　　（是呀）.
（答案：1.）小题：so can I ; 2.) so he is )
3.Before I started high schoo1，I used to spend a 1ot of time playing games with my friends，but I just don't have the time anymore.在上中学之前，我常常花费大量时间和朋友们一起做游戏。

1.make a difficult decision 做出艰难抉择、决定
decide：动词“决定、下决心”,其名词形式为decision。决定做某事：decide to do sth
2.give up trying to help him 放弃尽力帮助他
give up :放弃，认输 后跟动词时，动词要加ing。
如：The girl asked her father to give up smoking .
这个女孩请求她的爸爸戒烟。
【解析】选项A表示“永不放弃”，选项B表示“不要迟到”，选项C“不要谢天谢地”，选项D表示“不要骄傲”，根据句意“希望一直在你身边，所以应该是不要放弃，选择A。
try to do sth : 尽力做某事。
2.fifteen-year-old 作形容词　 15岁的 , 用作定语，后跟名词。 fifteen years old 指年龄　 15岁，用做表语。用在be的后面。
类似的：一个八岁的男孩：an eight―year―old boy .
eight―year―old 为复合形容词， 作定语修饰名词boy。这是英语一种构词法，在这种带有短横线连字符的结构中，名词不能用复数，如：
）It is a 500- metre -long bridge . 那是一座500米长的桥。2.）I have just bought an 80-page-book .我刚买了一本80页的书。

much more difficult 更困难得多
much 用在形容词比较级前，意思是“更……得多。”类似用在形容词比较级前的词或短语还有a little, even 等。difficult 是多音节形容词，变比较级和最高级 不是在它的后面+er ,(est ), 而是在其前加more 构成比较级, 加most 构成最高级。类似形容词还有：interesting，exciting ， popular ，dangerous，expensive等。你能说出它们的汉语意思吗？你会把它们变比较级和最高级吗？

III、阅读理解。（共四篇短文 ，根据原文大意，选最佳答案。） （ A ）
The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5.05 meters tall. Its neck alone may be 1.09 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck. The same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees. ( )31.In the passage the word “giraffe” means____ .

A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom (智慧) of life.
“Excuse me! Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?” the young man asked.
“None. The most important day in our lives is today.” the wise man replied calmly.
“Why?” the young man was very surprised. “Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today?”
“No. Nothing has happened today.”
“So is it because of my visit?”
“Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only wealth(财富) we have. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; 3 no matter how
wonder tomorrow may be, it hasn't come; no matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands.”
The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, “When
we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say, part of ‘today’ has passed.”
Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.
4 Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have. Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!

VI. I’m in Grade Three now. And my life has changed a lot. My daily life is quite different. For example, I used to get up at half past six, but now I have to get up at six to read English or Chinese aloud. I used to go to bed at 9 p. m. , but I have to stay up until 11p. m. to study for my tests. I spent much time watching TV or chatting with my friends online. But my study takes all my time at present. Even on the weekends I am not allowed to go out with my friends. I have to go to after-school classes. I used to play basketball or tennis after school because I love them. But I have no time now. I need time to do my homework. Now I have little time to play and to do what I like. I really miss my old days.

David,
How are you? My name is Li Hua. I’m a middle school student. I’m living in Shanghai now. I like collecting stamps. After school. I often play football or do some other sports.
