Recently, we have learned about the population of the world.
最近,我们已经了解了世界的人口。
population “人口”,看作一个整体,做主语谓语用单数。
如:The world’s population is getting larger and larger.
世界人口变得越来越多。
人口“多”用large ;“少”用 small.
如:哪个国家的人口最多/少?
Which country has the largest / smallest population
Language points
表示“某地” 有多少人口时,一般说:
(1)某地+has a population of …
(2)The population of +某地+is…
如:西乡有40万人口。
Xixiang has a population of 400 thousand.
=_______________________________________.
表示“人口有多少 ”,用what提问;常用结构是:
What is/was the population of+地点?
如:北京有多少人口?_______ the population of Beijing
The population of Xixiang is 400 thousand
What is
—________ the population of China
—1.4 billion. Everyone knows China has the ________
population in the world.
A. What are;most B. What is;largest
C. How many are;most D. How many are;largest
【解析】——中国人口多少?——14亿。每个人都知道中国有世界上最多的人口。询问人口多少,用what, 不用how many。表示人口多少时,用large或small来修饰。
B
典例
2. Have you ever been abroad, Danny
你曾经出过国吗,丹尼?
be abroad意为“在国外”,go abroad意为“出国”。abroad 是表示地点的副词,其前一般不加介词to。如:
My father is abroad now. 我爸爸现在在国外。
He has been to every continent except Antarctica.
She has gone to visit her.
have / has been to sp. 到过某地,已回
have / has gone to sp. 去了某地,未回
have / has been in sp. 一段时间待在某地
他去过美国三次。He America three times.
他已经去了加拿大。He Canada.
我已经在伦敦待了两年了。 I London for two years.
has been to
has gone to
have been in
遇到四个地点副词去掉 to,这四个地点副词是:
here, there, home, abroad
Mary isn't here. She has gone home. 玛丽不在这里,她回家了。
I have been abroad twice. 我去过两次国外了。
Have you ever been there?你去过那里吗?
注意:
—It seems that you have learnt a lot about Chengdu.
—Of course. I _______ here for ten years.
A. have been in B. have been
C. have come D. came to
【解析】考查现在完成时。句意:——似乎你很了解成都。
——当然!我已经来这里十年了。here 为副词前不加介词in故排除选项A; for ten years “长达十年”应用现在完成时态的延续性动词表达,排除C和D。故选B。
B
典例
3. I speak a little Chinese. 我讲一点儿汉语。
(1) a little修饰不可数名词, 意为“有一点儿;有一些”,表示肯定的含义。如:
Don't worry. There is a little time left. 不要担心。还有点儿时间。
(2) a little 可修饰形容词、副词及比较级, 相当于a bit。如:
I felt a little tired after walking so far.
走了这么远之后,我觉得有点儿累。
(1) few用来修饰可数名词,表示否定意义,意为“没有;几乎没有”。
如:He is new here. He has few friends here. 他是新来的。他在这儿没有朋友。
(2) a few也用来修饰可数名词,但它表示肯定意义, 意为“有几个;有一些”。如:There are a few apples in the basket. 篮子里有一些苹果。
(3) little用来修饰不可数名词,little表示否定意义,意为“没有;几乎没有”。 如:There is little water in the bottle. 瓶子里几乎没有水了。
(4) a little也用来修饰不可数名词,但是它表示肯定意义, 意为“有一点儿”。 如:I can speak a little French now with his help.
在他的帮助下, 现在我会讲点儿法语了。
辨析:few; a few; little; a little
4. He has been to every continent except Antarctica.
除了南极洲,他去过每一个州。
except,besides 和but 辨析
except “除了”,宾语被排除在句子表述的事情之外,
表示从总数中减去或例外。
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。
but 表示“除……外”,可与except互换,只是but只能用在no,none,all,nobody,anywhere,everything,everyone以及who, what, where 之后。
拓展
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。
如果介词except之前含有动词do(包括do的各种形式),则except后面可接动词原形。
A pig doesn’t do anything except eat and sleep.
猪除了吃和睡别的什么也不干。
魔法
记忆
— Alice, would you like to go hiking with us
— What a pity! I am free every day ________ today.
A. for B. except
C. besides D. among
考查介词的辨析。句意:——艾丽丝,你想和我们一起去远足吗?——真遗憾!我每天有空就今天没空。for为了;except除了,不包括;besides此外,还有;among在……之间。根据句意可知是不包括今天,用except。故选B。
B
典例
5. I can’t wait to go! 我迫不及待地想去(旅游)。
can’t wait to do sth 意思是“迫不及待去做某事”,若是后面接名词或者代词,可以用can’t wait for sth。
The children can’t wait to open the gifts.
孩子们迫不及待地打开礼物。
The children can’t wait for the gifts to open.
孩子们迫不及待地打开礼物。
【拓展】类似的结构:
can’t help doing sth 意思是“情不自禁去做什么”。

他情不自禁地唱起歌来。
