词汇精讲
1. more than
(1)more than意为“超过,多于”,相当于over。例如:
She is more than 20 years old. 她已经二十多岁了。
(2)more than还可意为“不仅”,与no more than“仅仅”相对。例如:
She is more than a teacher. She is also a friend. 她不仅仅是一位老师,还是一位朋友。
(3)more…than…意为“比……多”。例如:
There are more green apples than red apples on the tree. 树上的青苹果比红苹果多。
(4)more than的反义词为less than,意为“不到……;少于……”。例如:
My home is less than three miles from here. 我家离这里不到三英里远。
2. millions of
基数词million表示具体的数目“百万”时,其本身用单数形式,将数词直接加在它的前面,其后不加s,也不带介词of。当表示一个笼统的概念“数以百万的”时,常用复数形式,而且和介词of连用,修饰名词。它和hundred; thousand; billion等词的用法相同。例如:
There are 5 thousand people in the town. 镇上有5千口人。
There are 7 million books in the library. 那个图书馆里有七百万本书。
We need to plant millions of trees. 我们需要种数百万棵树。
3. cross
(1)cross 作动词, 意为“横过,越过”,指从表面上横过。
例如:
They cross the river every day. 他们每天都要过河。
Cross the road, you will see the store. 过了马路,你就会看到那个商店。
(2)cross 作名词,意为“十字架,十字形饰物;画十字的动作。
例如:
Jesus died on the cross. 耶稣死在十字架上。
He made a cross over his head. 他在他头上画了一个十字。
【拓展】across和cross的区别
这两个词都是“横越, 横跨,横穿”的意思,但是cross是动词可以单独作谓语;但是across是介词,需要和动词一起构成谓语。
例如:They cross the street to go to school every day.
他们每天横过马路去上学。
They walk across the street to go to school every day.
他们每天步行横过马路去上学。
4. die
die是动词,意为“死亡”,是短暂性动作,常用于过去时中,过去式为died。例如:
Plants and people will die without water. 没有水,植物和人都会死。
His father died two years ago. 他的父亲两年前去世的。

(2)although只能作连词,但though既可以作连词,也可以作副词。 常用搭配: as though 好像 even though即使 【注意】 although和though不能和but连用,二者只能用其一。
6. alone&lonely
alone既可作形容词,也可作副词,表示“单独一人,无人相伴”,陈述客观事实。lonely只能作形容词,表示“孤独的,寂寞的”,带有强烈的感彩;此外,还可表示“荒凉的,偏僻的”,常作定语。例如:
He is alone. 他孤身一人。
Though the old man is alone, he doesn’t feel lonely.
虽然那位老人是一个人,但他并不感到寂寞。
My grandfather used to live in a lonely village.
我爷爷过去住在一个偏僻的小村庄里。
