Learning Tip
Theatre is a form of art that presents a story to a live audience in a specific place. The performers may communicate with the audience through gesture,speech,song,music or dance.
information / nf 'me n/n.信息; 消息
news 和information 辨析
news“消息;新闻”,主要侧重于“新”。它是指事件等发生后不久的消息。尤其指广播、电视、报刊等新闻媒介所报道的“消息”和“新闻”,是不可数名词。
1
eg:Let's start an exchange of information.
让我们开始交换信息吧。
Language points
eg:There is a piece of interesting news in the newspaper.
报上有一则有趣的新闻。
information作“消息;情报”讲时,指通过观察、学习、阅读、调查和交谈所获得的消息、情报乃至资料和知识等。它侧重于内容,是不可数名词。
典例
They got much ________ from the Internet.
A.photo B.idea
C.message D.information
【点拨】这道题主要是考查名词的用法。句意:他们从因特网上得到了很多信息。题干中的much修饰不可数名词,而photo,idea,message 都为可数名词,只有information为不可数名词。故选D。
D
be interested in对……感兴趣
【易错点】
辨析interesting与interested
2
eg:When he was ten,he was interested in science. 当他十岁时,他就对科学感兴趣。
interesting 是形容词,意思为“有趣的”。作表语时,通常修饰物;作定语时,既可修饰人,又可修饰物。 This is an interesting book.这是一本有趣的书。
interested 是形容词,意思为“感兴趣的”,主语通常是人,且多用于be interested in结构中。 The children are interested in the cartoon.孩子们对这部卡通片感兴趣。
Tom is interested in the interesting book. 汤姆对那本有趣的书感兴趣。
典例
I have ________ to tell you. Maybe you will be ________ in it.
A.interesting something; interested
B.something interesting; interesting
C.something interesting; interested
D.interesting something; interesting
【点拨】形容词修饰不定代词时,应该放在不定代词后面;be interested in是固定结构,意思是“对……感兴趣”。因此答案选择C项。
C
开门见山法:本句开门见山地指出主题是谈论电影和戏剧,是全文的中心句,也与标题呼应,起到统领全篇的作用。
3
raise/re z/ v. 举起;提高;饲养;养育
4
eg: He raised his arms above his head.
他把手臂举过了头顶。
His father must raise a family of ten.
他父亲必须养活一家十口。
单词 用法
raise “举起,抬起”,说明主语发出的动作是要作用于其他事物的,用作及物动词。
rise “上升,升起”,说明主语自身向较高的位置移动,用作不及物动词。
lift “举起,抬高”,是及物动词,强调用体力把某物提到一定的高度。
【易错点】
辨析raise,rise与lift
eg:Smoke rose from the chimney.
烟从烟囱里升起。
He raised his hand to greet.
他举手致意。
He lifted the book off the floor and put it on the table.
他把那本书从地板上拿起,并把它放在桌子上。
典例
Wow! Danny ________ a little dinosaur.
A.raises B.rises
C.arises D.realizes
【点拨】考查动词的辨析。采用逻辑推理法。raise饲养,提高;rise升起;arise发生;realize实现。句意:哇!丹尼养了一只小恐龙。故选A。
A
else/els/ adj. &adv.别的,其他的
5
eg:Don't do anything else silly.别再干蠢事了。
else常和不定代词连用,且放在不定代词之后。
eg:Would you like anything else
你还要别的东西吗?
Do you want to see anybody else
你还想见别的人吗?
else 也常常放在疑问词之后。
eg:Where else can you get a ruler
你还能在其他什么地方弄到一把尺子吗?
When else can we meet
我们还能在别的什么时候见面吗?
辨析else与other
else表示“其他的,别的”,通常用在疑问代词who,what和疑问副词where,when及不定代词something,anything,nothing等的后面。 Would you like something else to drink?你还想喝些什么吗?
other表示“其他的”,通常用在名词的前面作定语。 I don't like other books.
我不喜欢其他的书。
Do you have any other questions?你还有别的问题吗?
典例
—Would you like ________ to drink
—Yes,I'd like a cup of coffee.
A.something else B.else something
C.anything else D.else anything
【点拨】else修饰不定代词时应放在不定代词后面,故先排除B、D项。something常用于肯定句中,anything常用于否定句和疑问句中,但在表示希望得到对方的肯定回答时,用something。故此题应选A。
A
To do good research,you need to...
为了做好调查,你们需要……
6
To do good research为动词不定式短语在句中作目的状语。
eg:We arrived at the station early to catch the bus.
为了赶上公共汽车,我们早早地就到车站了。
sb. need(s) to do sth. 表示“某人需要做某事”。
eg:You need to arrive there on time.
你需要准时到达那里。
sth. need(s) doing …表示“某物需要(被)……”。
eg:There is something wrong with my bike. It needs repairing.

典例
—What else should we pay attention to ________
building the bridge
—The change of the weather, I think. (江苏淮安)
A.finish B.finished
C.to finish D.finishing
【点拨】这道题考查的是非谓语动词。问句句意为:为了完成建造这座桥,我们还应该注意什么?在这里to finish building the bridge为目的状语,故选C。
C
the answer to……… 的答案
7
eg:Do you know the answer to the question
你知道这个问题的答案吗?
类似的短语有:
the key to...……的钥匙 the way to…到……的路
the train to…开往……的火车 a visit to…对……的访问
the note to… ……的注释 the ticket to...……的票
eg:Have you found the key to the door 你找到门的钥匙了吗?
Can you tell me the way to the park 你能告诉我去公园的路吗?
典例
—Excuse me. Could you tell me the way __________ the
nearest supermarket
—Go down the street and turn left. Then you'll see it.(云南)
A.to B.of C.in D.at
【点拨】问句句意:打扰一下,你能告诉我去最近的超市的路吗?“去最近的超市的路”应该用the way to the nearest supermarket。故选A。
A
divide /d 'va d/ vt. & vi. 分; 划分;使分离; (使)产生分歧
8
辨析divide与separate
eg: We will be divided up into four groups. 我们将被分成四个小组。

separate 指把原来在一起的人或物分开。常用的短语为:separate...from...把……和……分开。 The Taiwan Straits separates Taiwan from Fujian.台湾海峡把台湾和福建隔开了。
典例
The class is too large. We have to d it into eight groups.
【点拨】have to后跟动词原形。句意:这个班太大了。我们不得不把它分成八组。故应填divide。
ivide
divide…into…意为“把……分成……”,其被动语态为...be divided into...,意为“……被分成……;……被划分为……”。
eg:Let's divide ourselves into two groups. 我们分成两个小组吧。
divide up 意为“分配”。
