注意:like, enjoy, be fond of, love 都有“喜爱”、“喜欢”的意思,但在用法上和喜爱的程度上有所不同。like是一般用语,用得最广泛,后面的宾语可以是名词、不定式或动词-ing形式。enjoy 喜爱的程度比like稍强一点,后面只可以跟名词或-ing形式,而不跟不定式。Love在这三个词中表达喜爱的程度最大,语气最强,感彩最强烈,有“热爱”之意,后面的宾语可以是名词、不定式或动词-ing形式。be fond of(=like very much),在喜 爱的程度上比like强,但比love弱,后面只可以跟名词或-ing形式。

.句型难点解析
1.“So + be/have/助动词/情态动词+主词”的结构。此结构中的语序是倒装的,“So”代替上句中的某个成分。如果上面一句是否定句,则使用“Neither/Nor+be/have/助动词/情态动词+主语”的结构。
例如 He’s tired,and so am I.(=I’ m also tired.)
You can swim,and so can I.(=I can also swim.)
She has had supper,and so can I.(=I’ve had lunch,too.)
Tom speaks English,and so does his sister.(=His sister speaks English,too.)
2.“So +主语+be/have/助动词/情态动词”结构中的主谓是正常语序,so相当于indeed,certainly,表示说话人对前面或对方所说情况的肯定、赞同或证实,语气较强,意思是“确实如此”。例如
A:It was cold yesterday.昨天很冷。B:So it was.的确如此。(=Yes,it was.)
A:You seem to like sports. B:So I do.(=Yes,I do.)
A:It will be fine tomorrow.B:So it will.(=Yes ,it will.)
3.“主语+do/does/did + so”结构指的是按上句的要求做了。此句型中do so代替上文中要求做的事,以免重复。
My Chinese teacher told me to hand in my composition on time and I did so.(=I handed in
my composition on time.) 语文老师叫我按时交作文, 我照办了。
4.So it is with…或 It is the same with…句型表示 “……(的情况)也是如此。”当前面的句子中有几种不同形式的谓语时,要表示相同情况,必须使用本句型,不能使用so 引起的倒装句。
She doesn’t play the piano, but she likes singing. So it is with my sister.

The Mountain in Labor山震
A MOUNTAIN was once greatly agitated. Loud groans and noises were heard, and crowds of people came from all parts to see what was the matter. While they were assembled in anxious expectation of some terrible calamity, out came a Mouse.
Don't make much ado about nothing.
有一次,一座大山发生了大震动,震动发出的声音就像大声的呻吟和喧闹。许多人云集 在山下观看,不知发生了什么事。当他们焦急地聚集在那里,担心看到什么不祥之兆时,仅 看见从山里跑出一只老鼠。

The Ass, the Fox, and the Lion驴子、狐狸与狮子
THE ASS and the Fox, having entered into partnership together for their mutual protection, went out into the forest to hunt. They had not proceeded far when they met a Lion. The Fox, seeing imminent danger, approached the Lion and promised to contrive for him the capture of the Ass if the Lion would pledge his word not to harm the Fox. Then, upon assuring the Ass that he would not be injured, the Fox led him to a deep pit and arranged that he should fall into it. The Lion, seeing that the Ass was secured, immediately clutched the Fox, and attacked the Ass at his leisure.
驴子与狐狸俩合伙去打猎。他们突然遇见了狮子,狐狸见大事不妙,立即跑到狮子面 前,许诺把驴子交给他,只要自己免于危险。狮子答应可以,狐狸便引诱驴子掉进了一个陷 阱里。狮子见驴子已不能再逃跑,便立即先抓住狐狸吃了,然后再去吃驴子。
这是说,那些出卖朋友,背叛友谊的人也得不到好下场。

现在进行时表将来的动作

(2)现在进行时表示将来与表示正在进行的动作的区别在于:前者通常用瞬间动词(有时一些常用动词也可以这样用如:do)如:go, come, start, return, get, arrive等。而后者通常是持续性动词。

One day he met a friend, a Fuller, and entreated him to come and live with him, saying that they should be far better neighbors and that their housekeeping expenses would be lessened. The Fuller replied, "The arrangement is impossible as far as I am concerned, for whatever I should whiten, you would immediately blacken again with your charcoal."

The Father and His Sons
A FATHER had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves , you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
父亲与争吵的儿子们
有个父亲的儿子们常常互相争斗不休。他多次语重心长地劝说他们,尽管他苦口婆心, 仍无济于事。他认为应该用事实来教育他们,便叫儿子们去拿一捆木棒来。木棒拿来后,他 先把整捆木棒交给他们,叫他们折断。儿子们一个个竭尽了全力都无法将它折断。随后他解 开了那捆木棒,给他们每人一根。他们都毫不费力地将木棒折为两段。这时,父亲说:“孩 子们,你们要像木棒一样,团结一致,齐心协力,就不会被敌人征服;可你们互相争斗不 休,便很容易被敌人打垮。”
这故事说明,团结就是不可征服的力量,而内讧却只能耗损自己。

1. Before she could move , she heard a great noise, which grew to a terrible roar.她还没来得及跑,就听到一个巨大的声音逐渐变成可怕的轰鸣声。
1)Before引导的状语从句常常意为“在......之前”或“还没来得及”。

Before they reached the house,a new great wave came,sweeping down the trees,and

①跟动词原形表示对现在事情的猜测;
②跟be doing表示对正在发生事情的猜测;3)跟have done表示对已经发生的事情的猜测。Helen is Lucy’s good friend. She must know Lucy’s e-mail.

定语从句
1、定义:在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句。被定语从句所修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。定语从句一般放在先行词的后面。引导定语从句的词有关系代词that, which, who ( 宾格whom,所有格whose)和关系副词where, when,关系代词或关系副词放在先行词和定语从句之间,起联系作用,同时又作定语从句的一个成份。例如:
The man who lives next to us sells vegetables. 住在我的隔壁的人是卖菜的。 在该句中the man 是先行词,who 是关系代词,引导定语从句who lives next to us.在定语从句中,who 作主语。
2、由关系代词who, whom, which, that引导的限定性定语从句。
1)如果先行词是人,则用关系代词who/that; 如果先行词是物,则用关系代词which/that。
2)关系代词who, whom, which, that既起联系作用,引导定语从句,使之同它句中的某个名词/代词发生关系,同时又充当定语从句的一个成份。(如作从句中的主语或宾语)。当它们在从句中作宾语时,常可以省略。 The boy(who/whom/that)we saw yesterday was John's brother.我们昨天见到的那个男孩是约翰的兄弟。
说明:关系代词whom用来指人,是宾格,常用在书面语中作定语从句的宾语。在口语和非正式文体中,常用who/that来代替whom或省略。
3)当关系代词that或which修饰事物,作介词宾语时,如果介词位于关系代词之前,则用which(不能省)而不用that。

A. which B. when C. so that D. as if
8. She found her calculator ________ she lost it.
A. where B. when C. in which D. that
答案与解析:
一、
1. which 应为who 或that, 因为这个定语从句所修饰的先行词是 the lady, 不是物。
2. which 应改为where或在 lived后加in, 用where等于in which, 而live为不及物动词。
3. very 应改为so,因为这里是 so…that结构。
4. all 应改为both,因 all只能用来指三者或三者以上的事物或人。
5. was应改为 were。定语从句中关系代词作主语,谓语动词的单复数应与先行词一致,因此which此处指 “The watches”, 故应用复数形式的谓语动词。
二、
1. A 本题先行词the mountain village指的是物,且在从句中作visit的宾语,故用which。
2. C 在定语从句中, 作定语的关系代词应用whose, whose既可指人, 也可指物。
3. B 本句中先行词the date在定语从句中是作时间状语的,故应选when。
4. D 从关键词in fact,可看出前后两个句子形成一种对比,表示的意思是:她认为我在讲她女儿,而实际上我在讲我的女儿。
5. D 本题考查并列句和定语从句的区别。在两个句子中,有but, and, or, so等作并列连词,它们连接两个分句构成并列句。
6. B 因tell sb. of/ about sth“向某人讲述某事”,本题考查“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句。
7. C 本题考查状语从句中关联词的使用,从句意上看,此处应是表示目的的状语从句。
8. A 此题考查连接副词引起一个地点状语从句的用法。注意不能选C。此题没有先行词,只能是一个状语从句。

I would rather have one barleycorn than all the jewels in the world."
