词汇精讲
1. miss
Miss作为动词需要我们掌握以下含义：
1)作动词,意为“想念,思念”。
例：
I’ll miss you when you go to Canada.
你到了加拿大以后,我一定会想你。
2) miss作动词还有“未击中,未抓住”的意思。
例：
I tried to hit the ball but I missed.
我努力地想击中球,但却未成功。
3) miss还可意为“未赶上,错过”,是动词。
例：
I missed the football match on TV last night.
我错过了昨天晚上电视中的足球赛。
拓展：
Miss作动词表示“错过”时后接动词的-ing形式。
例：
I don’t want to miss seeing that film on television tonight.
我不想错过今晚在电视上看那部影片的机会。
2. either
本次在中考中经常出现，需要同学们在各类句子中认清含义：
1) either作副词,意为“也不”,用在否定句句尾，一般会用逗号隔开。
例：
He can’t play the violin. I can’t, either.
他不会拉小提琴,我也不会。
2) either 做代词表示“(两者中)任意一个”。
例：
There are many trees on either side of the street.
在街道的每一边都有很多树。
3)either…or…为连词短语,连接两个相同的句子成分,意为“要么……要么……;或者……或者……;不是……就是……”。
例：
He either stays at home or visits friends on the weekend.
在周末,他要么待在家里,要么拜访朋友。
They will come either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
他们不是明天来,就是后天来。
注意：
either…or…连接两个主语时,谓语动词的形式与紧靠谓语的那个主语的形式保持一致,即遵循就近原则。
例：
Either I or he is busy today.
今天不是我忙,就是他忙。
3. try
try作动词,意为“尝试,努力”。主要需要同学认清其含义所对应的搭配：
1)try to do sth. 意为“努力/尽力去做某事”,其否定形式为try not to do sth.。
例：
Try not to be late again.
尽量别再迟到了。
Try to get here in two hours.　
尽量在两小时之内到达。
2)try doing sth. 意为“试着做某事”,强调尝试做某事。
例：
You should try eating more vegetables.
你应当试着多吃点蔬菜。
3)try one’s best to do sth. 意为“尽某人最大努力做某事”，用法与try to do相同。
例：
We should try our best to finish the work on time.
我们应该尽最大努力准时完成这项工作。
4. remember
Remember做动词，意为 “记得,记住,记起”，需要注意后面搭配不同，含义也不尽相同。
1) remember doing sth表示“记得做过某事”。表示这件事做了，现在想起来了。
例：
I remembered closing the window when I left.
我记得我离开时关上了窗户。
Jack remembered putting her homework into his bag yesterday.
Jack记得昨天把作业放进他的包里了。
2) remember to do sth表示“记得去做某事”。表示这件事还没做用来提醒某人。
例：
Please remember to bring some bread home.
请记得带一些面包回家。
He remembers to buy a pen after school.
他记得放学后去买一根钢笔。
拓展：forget与remember有相同的搭配：
Forget，动词意为“忘记，忘拿”，其后也能加to do和doing表不同含义：
1) forget doing 表示“忘记做过某事”, 指代之前做过的一件事因为某些原因现在忘记了。
例：
He forgot opening the window.
他忘记开过窗户了。 (窗户已经打开)
I forgot making him breakfast.
我忘记给他做过早饭了。(已经做完早饭)
2) forget to do 表示 “忘记去做某事”，指代某件事还没来得及做就忘记了。
例：
He forgot to bring homework to school yesterday.
昨天他忘记带作业去学校了。 (没带作业)
He always forgets to close the door after he leaves the room.
他离开房间后总是忘记关上门。 (门未关)
5. when & while辨析
1)When与while在一般情况下意义相同，表示“在…时候”，这个含义大部分情况下可以换用。
例：
She was a player when she was ten.
=She was a player while she was ten.
当他十岁时是一名运动员。
He plays basketball when he is free.
=He plays basketball while he is free.
他空闲时打篮球。
2) while还可以表“同时”，在这时while前后的句子时间一致(时态不一定一致)，且while后常用进行时be doing。
例：
He cleaned the room while I was washing my clothes.
他在我正在洗衣服的同时打扫了房间。
I was washing my clothes when he cleaned the room.
他在打扫房间时我正在洗衣服。
3) while还可以做连词，表转折，可以与but互换。
例：
He was very shy at school while I am not.
=He was very shy at school but I am not.
她在学校很害羞但我不是。
6. make
make常见含义为动词“制造,制作”, 但是在初中使用阶段另外一个含义也同样常用, 意为动词 “使/让...”, 用法上可参照语文的使动词。
目前在中考前常见的用法有：
1) make+人/物+do
使/让...做某事
2) make++人/物+形容词
使/让......怎么样
3) make+A+B
把A变成B
例：
My mother made me do housework today.
我妈妈昨天让我做家务。
This good news made her happy all day.
这个好消息让她开心了一整天。
Two years` hardworking made this man a good teacher.
两年的努力让这个男人成为了一个优秀的老师。
语法精讲——过去进行时
过去进行时表示过去某一时刻正在发生或进行的动作，基本结构为was/were+doing，其否定形式为was/were + not + doing；一般疑问句只需把was/were+doing 中was或were放于句首。标志词有at this time yesterday, at that time或以when+一般过去时等。
需要注意的是过去进行时was/were doing与一般过去时的比较：
1) 一般过去时用动词的过去式(动ed/did)来表示。表示的是过去一件影响不大或者没有影响的事情，且正因为影响不大或没有影响，其给的过去时间很模糊，也就是表达过去某件事做过或存在即可。
例
I bought a cake at the shop yesterday.
我昨天在商店买了一个蛋糕。
He went to school last week.
他上周去上学了。
Jack took a trip to Beijing last year.
Jack去年去北京旅行了。
2) 过去进行时用进行时的过去形式was/were doing来表示。表达的是过去某个时刻正在做某事，其中重点要突出过去的一个确切时间，因此过去进行时was/were doing所给的过去时间会很精确.
例：
He was sleeping at 2 pm last night.
他昨天晚上两点正在睡觉。
She was doing her homework at the time of yesterday.
她昨天的这个时间正在写作业。
Jack was doing the dishes at that time.
Jack在那时正在清洗餐具。
He was playing games when his mother came in.
他妈妈进门那一刻他正在玩游戏。

句型精讲
1. With no light outside, it felt like midnight.
外面没有光亮，感觉就像半夜一样。
此句中介词with表示一种伴随的状况，同时还包含着某种因果关系，表示“因某种状况的存在而导致.....”，因此可译作“由于;因为”等。
例:
With my parents away, I'm the king of the house.
我爸妈不在，我可是家中的“王”了!
I can't work with all that noise going on.
由于那噪音响着，我无法工作。
2. Ben's dad ... while his mom was making sure the flashlights and radio were working.
本的爸爸......同时他妈妈在确认手电筒和收音机都能正常使用。
1) 此句中的连词while的意思是“ 当...的时候; ....同时”， while 还可以表示“而;然而;但(是)"之意，用来说明或强调两种事情或情形的不同。
例:
Tom is active and outgoing while his sister Rosa is shy and quiet.
汤姆活跃外向，而他的妹妹罗莎却羞怯腼腆。
2) make sure的意思是“确认;查明;核实;确保;设法保证”，其后可接句子，或接介词of及宾语，用来引入需要确认的内容。
例:
Could you make sure what time he's arriving I would like to go and meet him at the airport.
你确认一下他几点到达好吗 我想去机场接他。
Make sure you turn off the TV before you leave the house.
在你离开屋子前确认关闭了电视。
3)此句中的work表示机器、器官等的“运作;运转”，这是动词work的一种基本用法。
例:
My watch is waterproof- that means it would work fine even if it's in water.
我的手表是防水的，这就是说即便在水里它也会正常运转。
My brain isn't working well now.
这会儿我的脑子不好使。
3. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King was killed.
这一天，马丁·路德·金博士遇害了。
1)马丁.路德.金( Martin Luther King, Jr. 1929~1968)是世界知名的美国民权运动领袖。在20世纪50~60年代，他为改善美国黑人的社会权利及地位做了大量的工作。作为黑人领袖，他贏得了美国各阶层人民的尊重和爱戴，为世界所关注，1964年荣获“诺贝尔和平奖”。
2 ) was killed的意思是“ 被杀害”，表达的是被动关系。语法上将这种语言现象称作“被动语态”，我们将在九年级正式学习这一语法项目。
4. ... most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. ....
绝大多数美国人都记得纽约世贸中心被恐怖分子摧毁时他们在做什么。
1)纽约世贸中心
世界贸易中心( World Trade Center)简称“世贸中心”，是一个由两座并立的塔式摩天楼(被称作“双子塔”)、四座办公楼和一座旅馆组成的建筑群，主体于1973年建成使用，曾以世界最高的双子塔闻名于世，是美国纽约的地标之一。2001年9月11日，世贸中心被恐怖分子用所劫持的民航班机撞击摧毁，这就是举世震惊的“9. 11事件”。
2)此句中was taken down也是被动语态，意思是“ 被摧毁”。其中take down表示将建筑物或高的物体“拆掉;拆除;拆卸”，此处根据上下文可翻译成“摧毁;毁掉”。
例:
They`re talking about how to take that wall down.
他们在讨论如何拆除那堵墙。
5. She remembers working in her office near the two towers.
她记得当时(自己)正在距两座塔楼不远的办公室工作。
1) towers在句子中指的是世贸中心的双子塔。
2) remember (someone) doing something是一种固定搭配，表示“记得(某人)曾经做过某事”，其中remember可表示“记得;回忆起;想起;记住”等意思。
例:
I don't remember seeing him anywhere.
我不记得在什么地方见过他。
He remembered meeting her at a party once.
他回想起曾在一次聚会上见过她。

Saturday, June 16th
In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.
