重点
1. litter n. 垃圾 v. 乱扔
（1）litter作名词相当于rubbish，是不可数名词。
There is some litter in the park. 公园里有一些垃圾。
【易混辨析】
litter和rubbish都可指＂垃圾＂，用作不可数名词，但含义不同。
litter
指＂（在公共场所乱扔的）废弃物（尤指废纸等杂物）＂。
Pick up your litter after a picnic. 野餐后将废弃物收拾好。
rubbish
指＂（不再想要或不需要的）废弃物或垃圾＂。

（2）litter作动词用意为＂乱扔＂。

【答案】D
2. cut down 削减；砍倒
cut down意为＂减少＂；是＂动词+副词＂结构的短语，其后接的宾语为名词时，宾语可位于down的前面或后面，为代词时，只能位于down前面。
Car owners were asked to cut down travel. 车主们被要求减少出行。
Trees are helpful to us. Don’t cut them down. 树对于我们有益处，不要砍伐它们。

【答案】B
3. cost v. & n. 花费
cost作动词时，常用于Sth cost(s) sb some money.这一句式中。作名词时，意为＂花费，价钱＂。

In 1989 the price of coffee fell so low that in many countries it did not even cover the cost of production.
1989年咖啡的价格跌得那么低，以致在许多国家还抵不上其生产成本。
【易混辨析】 take / spend / cost /pay
take，spend，cost，pay的用法都可以表示＂花费＂，但用法却不尽相同。
（1）spend的主语必须是人，常用于以下结构：
①spend time / money on sth 在……上花费时间（金钱）
②spend time / money (in) doing sth 花费时间（金钱）做某事
③spend money for sth 花钱买……
（2）cost的主语是物或某种活动，还可以表示＂值＂，常见用法如下：
①sth costs (sb) ＋金钱 某物花了（某人）多少钱
②(doing) sth costs (sb)＋时间 某物（做某事）花了（某人）多少时间
温馨提示：cost的过去式及过去分词都是cost，并且不能用于被动语态。
（3）take后面常跟双宾语，常见用法有以下几种：
①It takes sb＋时间＋to do sth 做某事花了某人多少时间
②doing sth takes sb＋时间 做某事花了某人多少时间
（4）pay的基本用法是：
①pay (sb) money for sth 付钱（给某人）买…… ②pay for sth 付……的钱
③pay for sb 替某人付钱 ④pay sb 付钱给某人
⑤pay money back 还钱
【巧学妙记】
＂花费＂用法口诀
花费四词各家聚，认准人物谁主语；
in，on就跟spend去，for在pay后不客气；
cost物前人后移，It takes... to do在一起。
—What a nice coat! How much did you ____________ for it?
—It ____________ me two hundred yuan.
A. pay；cost B. pay；paid C. cost；pay D. cost；cost

【解析】句意：——多么漂亮的一件外套啊！你多少钱买的？——它花了我200元钱。pay for意为＂支付，为某物付钱＂；sth cost sb money则意为＂某物花了某人多少钱＂，根据句意可知选A。
4. not only ...but also... 不但……而且……
not only ...but also... 意为＂不但……而且……＂，其中also可以省略。not only...but also...是并列连词词组，可连接相同的句子成分或并列成分。连接并列主语时，句子的谓语动词应与but also后的主语的人称和数保持一致。
She not only plays tennis, but also plays badminton. 她不但打网球，而且还打羽毛球。
Not only Jim but also I am going to visit the Summer Palace. 吉姆还有我都打算去参观颐和园。

②either...or...意为＂或者……或者……，不是……就是……＂，可连接并列主语、谓语、表语或宾语等。当其连接并列主语时，谓语动词要和最近的主语保持人称和数的一致。

—I agree with you.
A. not；but B. not only；but also C. neither；nor D. either；or
【答案】B
neither... nor...意为＂既不……也不……＂；either...or...意为＂或者……或者……＂。由句意可知选B。
5. take part in 参加
take part in中的in为介词，后接名词、代词或动词的-ing形式。
I want to take part in your party。 我想参加你的聚会。
【易混辨析】 take part in/join/join in/attend

It was a great pleasure for the family to move to a house with a very big garden. Betty and Tony could climb up trees, grow flowers and even play badminton. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract more birds.
Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window. Betty went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neck seemed to be broken. ＂It must have flown into the window.＂ Tony said when his sister Betty called him to have a look. ＂Ah, yes, look here. You can see the mark where it hit the window. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck on the window. ＂
＂Poor thing!＂Betty said.
During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. ＂Why would they fly to the windows?＂ They wondered. Finally they knew the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn’t see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(倒影) of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window.
＂Something has to be done to save the birds.＂ the parents decided.
At first, the family tried keeping curtains(窗帘) across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk. They made six hawks —— one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. They looked pretty and did not keep out much light. When the birds saw the hawks, they would fly away.
After that, there were no more dead birds. The family were much happier.

After he got home, he told his sons to manage the shops instead of him and he went to look for the island, without telling anybody about it. At last he reached the island and saw some one-eyed children.He was so happy that he rushed towards the youngest one and carried him on his back. But he didn’t know the danger was coming to him.
