I can’t look after six children at my age—it’s too much.
我这个年纪照顾不了6个孩子——太多了。[剑桥高阶]【轻巧辨析】
too much/much too
(1)too much的中心词是much，too用于加强much的程度，所以too much的
用法与much一致，可修饰动词、不可数名词，也可单独使用，表达不可
数概念。
You have offered me too much.
你给我的太多了。
(2)much too的中心词是too，much用来加强too的程度，所以much too的
用法同too一致，修饰形容词、副词的原级。

我买不起这台收音机，因为太贵了。即景活用⑩Allen had to call a taxi because the box was_____to carry all the way home.
A．much too heavy B．too much heavy
C．heavy too much D．too heavy much
解析：句意：“Allen不得不叫出租车，因为箱子太重了，她搬不回家。”
考查“too heavy to...”结构，用much(副词)修饰加强语气，故答案是A。
答案：A重 要 句 型But in China，the idea of the dragon may have come from the alligator—a
shy animal which lives in rivers，but which is usually only seen when
there is plenty of water—a good sign for agriculture.但是在中国，有关龙
的传说是来自钝鳄吻——一种生活在水中的害羞的动物，通常水足够多的
时候才能看见，而水多又是农业的好兆头。情态动词＋have＋done是历年高考的重点和难点之一，现将其用法总结归
纳如下：
(1)might/may＋have＋done
表示对过去发生的动作或存在的状态进行不肯定的推测，即说话人认为过
去某事发生的可能性或某状态存在的可能性一般。可用于肯定句(意思是
“可能已经”)和否定句(意思是“可能没有”)；might的语气没有may那么
肯定。如：
She may have read the book.她可能已经看过这本书了。
He might not have got your letter.他或许没有收到你的来信。
(2)can/could＋have＋过去分词
表示对过去某种行为或存在的状态的怀疑或不肯定推测。can常用于否定
句(意思是“不可能已经”)和疑问句；could除用于否定句及疑问句外，
还可用于肯定句(意思是“那时可能；本来可以”)。如：Don’t worry—they could have just forgotten to phone.
别担心——他们很可能只是忘了打电话。
He cannot have been to that town.他根本不可能去过那座城市。
(3)need＋have＋过去分词
常用于否定句，表示过去做了不必做或不需要做的事情或过去做某事纯属
多余，含有“根本不必；本来不必”之意，也可用于疑问句。如：
You needn’t have told them that.你没有必要告诉他们那个。
Need they have done it last week？他们上周做这事有必要吗？
(4)should/ought to＋have＋过去分词
肯定式表示“过去本应做某事(但没做)”；否定式表示“过去不该做某事
(但做了)”。含有不满或责备之意。如：
You’re right.I should have thought of that.
你说得对。我本来应当想到那一点的。
She ought to have been more careful.她本该更小心些。(5)would＋have＋过去分词
表示过去本来要做某事却因某种原因未做，通常用来说明某种情况，但
不像用should或ought to那样含有责备之意。如：
I would have written to you earlier but I have been ill.
我本来要早点给你写信的，但我生病了。即景活用?Nobody knows how people first came to these islands.They_____
from South America on rafts.
A．much have sailed B．might have sailed
C．would have sailed D．should have sailed
解析：句意：“没人知道人们最初是怎么来到这些海岛的，他们也许
是乘木筏从南美洲过来的。”用于对过去事实的猜测“may/might have
done”，故答案是B。

答案：B教材原文对照Perhaps too much fighting caused the dinosaurs to die out. (P56)阅读理解常见误区　主观臆断，忽视逻辑
做阅读理解时需通过上下文的逻辑关系，揣测作者的真正意图，切忌以惯性思维思考，忽视了文中的逻辑关系。 【典例1】
Is Brian a criminal(罪犯)？Not at all.He is an air courier.And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to paris.Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important package and papers to foreign countries.
Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day.Often，the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company.It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an
air courier，but it is quick. Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers.The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year.
However，air-courier travel isn’t for everyone.But if you have very little money，it can be flexible(灵活的)about your travel plans，and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week，it can be a great way to take a vacation！
(2009·陕西卷)
53.An air courier is a person who ________.
A.manages a business company in foreign countries
B.organizes international flights for tourists
C.travels around the world with cheap tickets
D.delivers papers and packages to foreign countries
答案：D 点拨：本题的解题线索一目了然，根据文中的“Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important package and papers to foreign countries.”可判断出an air courier是将文件包裹送往国外的人。
误区警示：受习惯思维的影响，考生看到“air”一词，很容易不假思索地联想到与飞行相关的内容，因此将注意力集中在B、C两项上，而且文中明确指出从事这种职业的人所付出的票费很低廉，并且可以乘坐飞机周游世界，是一种绝佳的度假方式，这就更让考生相信自己的选择没有漏洞。殊不知，把这种主观臆断与文章内容相结合的肤浅做法正好使考生掉进了命题人设置的圈套。 【典例2】 I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying，and some people on the buswere turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
... (2009·北京卷)
57.Upon leaving for America the author felt .
A.confused B．excited C.worried D．amazed
答案：B 点拨：文中提到作者哭泣是去美国之前所发生的事情，而此处问的是在去美国的那一刻作者的内心感受。文章没有直接表明作者当时十分兴奋，可是第二段中提到作者与朋友和亲戚道别时几乎没有哭，而是在思考将要看到的所有陌生而又神奇的地方，由此可推测出作者当时感到无比兴奋。
误区警示：按照常理，从祖国到另外一个陌生的国度时往往会一时难以适应，充满疑惑和彷徨，所以A项的干扰性很强；第一段中提到作者听到不久要去美国的消息后禁不住哭了起来，因为从此以后再也听不到学生广播节目了，假如考生根据这一部分内容进行判断，很容易误选C项；如果只注意第二段中的“the strange and magical places”，则易误选D项，误选的原因就是惯性思维在作祟，或者只根据某一处细节匆忙确定答案而忽视了段落之间的逻辑关系。
