我在英国长大,父亲是英国人,母亲是中国人,自从我能拿起刀叉和筷子,我就喜欢上了两国的食物。
ever since意为“自那以后”;用作时间状语,可以单独使用,也可以接名词或句子作宾语。
She left school three years ago and has worked as a nurse ever since.
她三年前毕业,从那时起一直当护士。
【温馨提示】
(1)ever since的用法和since完全一致,它们之后的从句要用一般过去时,主句要用现在完成时。
(2)It is/has been+一段时间+since...意为“自从……以来已经多久了”,since后面的句子用一般过去时;如前面是It was+一段时间,since...后面的句子要用过去完成时。
It is three years since his brother joined the army.
他哥哥参军三年了。
It was ten years since he had left his hometown.
他离开家乡十年了。
2.He must have thought I was joking.
他一定认为我在开玩笑。
【考点归纳】
※本句中must have done表示对过去行为的推测,意为“一定;想必”,语气十分肯定。属于“情态动词+have+过去分词”结构。
※“情态动词+have+过去分词”的其他形式:
①should have done在语义上相当于ought to have done,表示“过去本来应该做某事而实际上却没有做”;shouldn’t have done表示“过去本来不应该做某事而实际上却做了”。这一用法往往含有责备的意味。
②may/might have done表示对过去行为的推测,意为“可能做过”。might所表示的可能性比较弱,语气较委婉。
③can/could have done表示“本来可以做而实际上未做”或者“过去可能”,疑问或否定形式表示对过去发生的行为表示怀疑或不肯定,其中can’t have done多用于语气强烈的否定,意为“不可能做过”。
④needn’t have done表示“本来不必做某事而实际上却做了”。

对我来说,没有什么比英式饼干和在瓷杯里泡一杯乌龙茶这种跨文化的下午茶更好的了!
【考点归纳】
本句中nothing better than为形容词的比较级与否定词连用,表达最高级的含义。常用的否定词有:no,not,never,nothing,nobody,hardly等,其意义为“再也没有……比这更……的了”。
【例句】
①In my opinion,nothing is more pleasant than traveling.
在我看来,没有什么比旅行更令人愉快的了。
②—Did you sleep well last night in our hotel,Mr Smith
—Never better,like a rock.
——史密斯先生,你昨夜在我们旅馆睡得好吗?
——从没这么好过,睡得很沉。
【对接高考】 单句语法填空
I have never spent a more worrying day.
我从来没有经历过比这更令人担忧的一天了。
4.As a doctor,I know I had better change the way I eat,but I just don’t have the time or the energy right now.
作为一名医生,我知道我最好改变我的饮食方式,但我现在没有时间和精力。
【考点归纳】
the way I eat我的饮食方式,这里I eat作the way的定语。way作“方式”解,且其关系词在定语从句中作状语时,定语从句用in which或that引导,也可省略关系词。当the/a way后面的定语从句缺少主语或宾语时,关系词用that或which,作宾语时可省略。
【例句】
I hate the way (that/in which) you answer back with your mother.
我讨厌你那样和妈妈顶嘴。
【对接高考】 单句语法填空
I don’t like the way that/in which you talk to your children.
我不喜欢你和孩子们谈话的方式。
5.Sometimes I bring home food from the restaurant where I work.
有时我从我工作的餐馆带食物回家。
【考点归纳】
这是一个复合句。where在句中引导定语从句,修饰先行词restaurant,在从句中作状语,这里的where可用“in which”替换。
※当先行词是表示地点的名词,如place,room,mountain,airport等,同时关系词在从句作地点状语时,定语从句需用关系副词where来引导。
※除了具体的地点名词外,当先行词为system,case,point,position,situation,stage,condition,industry,activity,job,race,scene,circumstance等抽象的地点名词,且关系词在从句中作地点状语时,也常用where引导定语从句。
【例句】Then we moved to Paris,where we lived for six years.
然后我们搬到了巴黎,我们在那里住了六年。
【对接高考】 单句语法填空
Students should take part in some activities where they can gain experience.

2.The letters did,however,change as Tolkien’s children got older:然而,随着托尔金的孩子长大,这些信件确实发生了变化:
【句式剖析】
句中的did是加强语气的助动词,强调的是句中的谓语动词,由于句子是一般过去时,所以助动词用did。
3.I don’t think that’s Lucy.我认为那不是露西。
【句式剖析】该句是一个否定前移的句型。当主句为I/We think (suppose,believe,expect,guess,imagine)+that-clause时,如果宾语从句中带有否定意义,通常要把否定词not转移到主句谓语上来,从而构成否定前移。

(2)否定词和always,often等连用。
As a matter of fact,not every one of the songs sounds beautiful.
事实上,并不是每一首歌曲都好听。

在世界各地,你都可以看到孩子们尽情玩塑料袋做的球,就像贝利小时候一样。
【句式剖析】本句中的see kids playing...是“see sb doing”结构,其中的playing是动词-ing形式,在句中作宾语补足语,表示动作正在进行。
When I passed,I saw my friends playing chess.
我路过时,看到我的朋友们在下象棋。
2.Whether you’re a professional athlete or keen sportsperson,DX Sports Watch is the ideal choice for you.(教材P29)
无论您是职业运动员还是热衷于体育的人,DX运动手表都是您理想的选择。
【句式剖析】
句中的whether...or...意为“无论……,还是……”,引导包含选择范围的让步状语从句。
3.....its waterproof band is fully adjustable so that it is comfortable to wear.(教材P29)
它的防水带完全可以调节,因此戴着很舒适。
【句型剖析】so that在此处引导结果状语从句,意为“因此,所以”。
It was raining heavily last night,so that we didn’t go to the party.
昨晚雨下得很大,因此我们没去参加晚会。
【句型拓展】
so that引导目的状语从句时,意为“为了,以便”,此时从句的谓语动词常含有一个情态动词(can,could,might,may等);so that在引导目的状语从句时,基本等同于in order that,主要区别在于:in order that引导的状语从句可置于主句之前或之后,而so that引导的从句只能放在主句后面。
4.When learning about a new topic,it is important to collect facts and figures.(教材P32)
当学习一个新的话题时,收集事实和数字是很重要的。
【句式剖析】When learning about a new topic是状语从句的省略形式。
状语从句的省略是一个非常重要的考点。一般说来,在时间、条件、让步、原因、方式等状语从句中,如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同或者从句的主语是it,从句中的谓语部分又含有be的某种形式时,可以省略从句中的主语和be动词,构成“从属连词+形容词/动词-ing/过去分词/介词短语/不定式”的结构。这种结构使句子简洁、流畅,丝毫不影响句意的表达。
【句式拓展】
if possible 如果可能的话
if any(= if there is any)如果有的话
if not 如果不是这样
if so如果是这样的话
if necessary 如果必要的话
It is said that she was admitted to a famous university.If so,I’m really proud of her.

2.It was an area where fishermen were finning,and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks.(教材P63)
这是一个渔民生切鱼鳍的地方,海底布满了死去的鲨鱼。
【句式剖析】
where fishermen were finning是定语从句,修饰area。一般而言,where在定语从句中用来指代地点,其先行词往往是表示地点的名词,where在从句中充当地点状语。
【句式拓展】
(1)where引导的定语从句通常可用“介词+which”替换,其中的介词根据先行词或定语从句中谓语动词来决定。
(2)当先行词是point,situation,case,occasion等抽象名词时,其后常用where引导定语从句,分别相当于at which,in which,in which和on which。
(3)from后可以接where,构成from where结构,其中的where可以看作是名词,也可当作关系代词。
(4)where引导定语从句和状语从句的区别:where引导定语从句时,where是关系副词,在从句中作地点状语,其前面有表示地点的先行词,where引导的从句修饰先行词;where引导状语从句时,where是从属连词,where引导的从句修
饰主句的谓语动词,where前面没有表示地点的先行词。
This is the farm where / on which they used to live.
这是他们过去住过的农场。

3.The less energy you use,the less carbon dioxide is released.(教材P66)

【句式剖析】

four times as much energy as...是“倍数+as+原级+as”结构,是英语倍数的一种表示方法。
【句式拓展】
(1)“倍数+比较级+than”
