语法补充及强化

as…as…

（1）as+形容词/副词的原级+as… 和……一样……
（2）not as+形容词/副词的原级+as… 和……不一样……；不如……
My parcel is _____________________________. 我的包裹与你的一样重。

= Tom is __________ __________ John. 汤姆比约翰高
【答案】shorter than
（2）Tom is not as careful as Mary. 汤姆不如玛丽认真。
= Tom is than Mary. 汤姆没有玛丽认真。
【答案】less careful

2. 表示倍数。
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲有欧洲的四倍大。

3. as…as的结构有这样两种常见句型：
as much+不可数名词+as
as many+复数可数名词+as
She spread ________________________ Jane usually does. 她在面包上涂得黄油与简通常涂的一样多。
He has learnt ___________________________ his brother (has). 他已学了和他哥哥一样多的英文单词。
【答案】as much butter on her bread as as many English words as

4.在as…as结构中，若形容词作定语修饰单数可数名词，不定冠词a/an应置于形容词和名词之间，不可放在形容词之前。如：
她和你的父亲一样是个好老师。
She is as good as a teacher as your father. (T)
She is as a good teacher as your father. (F)

动名词v-ing
动名词v-ing在句中起名词作用，可作主语、表语和宾语等，其否定形式为not doing。
Playing with fire is dangerous. 玩火是危险的。（作主语）
Her job is teaching. 她的工作是教书。（作表语）
He admitted breaking the window yesterday. 昨天他承认打破窗户了。（作宾语）
其中，作宾语时需要注意以下几点：
（1）admit, dislike, enjoy, feel, finish, give up, imagine, include, keep, mind, miss, practice, put off, can’t help(情不自禁)，can’t stand(无法忍受)，suggest等动词或词组后只能用动词v-ing形式作宾语，不用能不定式。如：
He admitted breaking the window yesterday. 昨天他承认打破窗户了。

（2）forget, go on/continue, remember, stop, try等动词或词组后则可用动词-ing形式或不定式作宾语，但意义上有区别。如：
Let’s go on studying Lesson 6. 让我们继续学第六课。（指前面已学了第六课的一部分内容）
Let’s go on to learn Lesson 6. 让我们接着学第六课。 （指前面只学了前五课）

I remember doing the exercise. 我记得做过练习。
I remember to do the exercise. 我记着要做练习。

I tried not to to go there. 我尽量不去那里。
I tried doing it again. 我试着又干了一次。

He stopped speaking. 他停止了讲话。
He stopped to talk. 他停下里开始讲话。

（3）在love, hate, prefer, like等动词后接动词-ing形式或不定式的意义无多大区别。用动词-ing形式作宾语时常指一般情况，而用不定式作宾语时常指某一具体行为。如：
I like swimming. 我喜欢游泳。 （泛指一般的爱好）
I don’t like to go swimming this afternoon. 今天下午我不想去游泳。（指今天的具体心情）
（4）start, begin在书面语中后多接动词-ing形式，而在口语中后多接不定式。但start和begin在下列情况下一般跟不定式做宾语：
①当主语是物而不是人时；
②当start或begin以-ing形式出现时；当后面作宾语的动词表示感情、思想或意念时。如：
It started to snow. 天开始下雪了。
He is beginning to cook dinner. 他要做晚饭了。
I began to understand what he meant. 我开始懂得他的意思了。

3. 选择疑问句考点：
选择疑问句在语法中近年来很少考查，常见以考either、neither、none、等不定代词考点的形式出现，也常出现在阅读回答问题中。但考生要把一般疑问句和特殊疑问句分清楚，因为一般疑问句使用yes和no回答，而选择疑问句是选择其中的一项回答，或者用either、neither、none等不定代词回答。

4. 反意疑问句考点
反意疑问句最重要的就是要记住“前肯后否，前否后肯”，根据事实回答。
用法 例句
(1)陈述句是I am. . . ，反意疑问句用aren’t I I'm your best friend, aren’t I? 我是你最好的朋友，不是吗？
(2)当陈述部分是there be结构时，反意疑问句部分用there There are many birds in the tree, aren’t there? 树上有许多鸟，不是吗？
(3)当陈述部分的主语是指示代词this，that时，反意疑问句部分的主语用it；主语是these或those时，反意疑问句部分的主语用they ①This is an English car, isn’t it? 这是一辆英国汽车，不是吗？②These are Russian planes, aren’t they? 这些是俄罗斯飞机，不是吗？
(4)当陈述部分含有never/ nothing/none/no one/seldom/ hardly/ few/little等否定副词时，反意疑问句用肯定形式 She has never been abroad, has she? 她从来没有出过国，对吗？
(5)如果陈述部分含有由否定前缀im-，dis-，un-等构成的否定意义的词，则陈述部分作肯定处理，反意疑问句仍用否定形式 Mary is unhappy, isn’t she? 玛丽不高兴，是吗？
(6)陈述句主语是不定代词something/anything/everything/nothing等时，反意疑问句中代词用it Nothing is wrong with the computer, is it? 计算机没什么问题，是不是？

(8)祈使句的反意疑问句①祈使句是肯定形式，其反意疑问句用will you或 won’t you皆可。 ②祈使句是否定形式，其反意疑问句通常只用will you构成。 ③以Let开头的祈使句构成反意疑问句时， Let's用shall we构成反意疑问句，其他均用will you。 ①Be sure to write to us, will/won't you? 一定要给我们写信，好吗？ ②Don't smoke in the meeting room, will you? 请不要在会议室抽烟，好吗？③Let's take a walk after supper, shall we? 晚饭后我们去散步，好吗？ ④Let the boy go first, will you? 让那男孩先走，好吗？

我觉得你下次可以做得更好，是不是？

A. Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案)
The mystery(悬案) stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are famous all over the world.
The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. Through it all, his assistant, Dr Watson, watches with admiration (钦佩). Watson then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards.
This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes!
The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, ‘How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan.’
Watson is too amazed by this to ask Holmes how he knows this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation(观察).
Observation One
Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor.
Observation Two
Watson's face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists (手腕) were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country. As he was a working doctor, this was not a holiday. He must have gone with the army.
Observation Three
At the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan. （372 words）

D. Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）
Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives. （234 words）

A Happy Weekend
I had a happy day last Saturday. I got up early in the morning. After a quick breakfast, I went to visit some good friends. We went to climb a mountain where we sang and played games the whole morning. In the afternoon, we played basketball in our playground. In the evening, we went to see a movie.
