【词条1】contain
【课文原句】A CD-ROM is a separate disk that contains lots of information. (Page 51)
【点拨】contain在本句中作及物动词,意为“包含,包括;容纳”,注意它不能用于进行时态。这句话的意思是“CD-ROM 是一种含有大量信息的独立磁盘”。再如:

【拓展】辨析contain与include:
contain 指作为组成部分而被“包含”或“容纳”在内;而 include 侧重于作为整体的一部分而被包括进去。如:

【拓展】1. as well, too, also, either都含有“也”的意思,它们之间的区别如下:
as well用于肯定句,一般放在句末;too和as well一样,用于肯定句中,一般置于句末,但too可以紧接在主语后面,在简略答语中用于宾格代词之后;also用于肯定句,常放在句中,位于系动词或助动词之后,谓语动词之前;either用于否定句中,一般放在句末。如:

重点语法聚焦
冠词用法点睛
冠词的最基本用法,我们已经在以前的学习中都接触到了,但是真正能做到运用自如,还需要大量的练习。在此我们想借助高考真题,再来重温一下它们的用法,希望对大家的英语学习有所裨益。
1. 如果单数可数名词或它前面的修饰词以元音因素开头,应用an。如:
【高考真题】
Mrs. Taylor has _____ 8-year-old daughter who has ____ gift for painting — she has won two national prizes.
A. a; a B. an; the C. an; a D. the; a
【答案解析】答案是C。eight是一个以元音音素开头的单词,所以要用an;have a gift for为固定搭配。
2. 不定冠词表泛指,可指同类中的任何一个或同类中的某一个;定冠词the表特指,既可指上文提到的人或物,也可指双方都明白的人或物,还可指受后置定语或定语从句修饰的人或物;复数名词泛指某类人或物时,前面常用零冠词。如:
【高考真题】
If you grow up in _____ large family, you are more likely to develop ____ ability to get on well with _____ others.
A. /; an; the B. a; the; / C. the; an; the D. a; the; the
【答案解析】答案是B。family在此指的是同类中的任何一个,所以用a,表示泛指;ability加了后置定语进行限制,应用the表特指;others泛指其他的人,其前不用任何冠词。
3. 某些专有名词前面用定冠词,如the Yellow River, the Red Sea, the United States, the Pacific Ocean等;但有些专有名词前用零冠词,如Mr Smith, Professor Wang等,但是若表示“某一个”,前面就需要加不定冠词。如:
【高考真题】
According to ________World Health Organization, health care plans are needed in all big cities to prevent _________ spread of AIDS.
A. the;不填 B. the; the C. a; a D. 不填; the
【答案解析】答案为B。the World Health Organization是专有名词;spread后面加了定语of AIDS,应该用定冠词the。
4. 序数词和形容词最高级前通常用定冠词,但序数词表示“另一个,再一次”等意义时,要用不定冠词。如:
【高考真题】
Of all reasons for my decision to become a university professor, my father’s advice was ______ most important one.
A. the; a B.不填; a C.不填; the D. the; the
【答案解析】答案为D。 reasons后面有定语修饰,所以用the;第二个空修饰的是形容词的最高级,应该用the。
5. 比较级前加定冠词the,指“两者中较……的一个”,还可以构成句型The more…, the more…“越……,就越……”。但是比较级前加不定冠词时,往往表示一个最高级的概念。如:
【高考真题】
Your story is perfect; I’ve never heard _______ before.
A. the better one B. the best one C. a better one D. a good one
【答案解析】答案是C。该题中用比较级形式表达了最高级的概念,原句可改写为Your story is perfect; this is the best one I’ve heard。
6. 在一些固定结构中,有些带不定冠词,如as a result, have/live a … life, in a hurry, in a word, have a good time, take a bus等;有些带定冠词,如at the same time, on the whole, in the end, on the other hand等;有些需用零冠词,如by bus, at home, on foot, heart disease, face to face等。关于这一点,同学们必须分类加强记忆。如:
【高考真题】
If you go by ______ train, you can have quite a comfortable journey, but make sure you get ______ fast one.
A. the; the B. 不填;a C. the; a D. 不填;不填
【答案解析】答案是B。by train为固定搭配,不加任何冠词;第二个空为泛指,应填a。
