Step 8 重点词汇
1．how的用法
(1)how是疑问副词，意为“如何，怎样，用什么手段”。本句为how引导的特殊疑问句，用以询问交通工具。如：
—How do you get to school every day？——你每天怎么去上学？
—I get to school on foot every day.——我每天步行到学校。
get在句中为不及物动词，意为“到达”，常与to连用，但是表示目的地的词是副词here，there，home等时，则不需要用介词to。如：
They'll get to Beijing at six tonight.他们会于今晚六点抵达北京。
I'll get there on time.我会准时到那里的。
(2)How long does it take...？乘坐……要花多长时间？
how long有以下两个主要意思：
①表示多长时间，主要用来对一段时间(如three days，four weeks等)提问。如：
—How long does he stay here？——他在这儿待了多久？
—About two weeks.——大约两个星期。
—How long does it take to get to London from here？——从这里到伦敦要多长时间？
—At least ten hours.——至少要10个小时。
②表示某东西有多长。如：
—How long is the river？——这条河有多长？
—About 500 km.——大约500千米。
(3)How far is it from...to...？从……到……有多远？
How far主要用来询问从某地到某地的距离。如：
—How far is it from your home to school？——从你家到学校有多远？
—About three kilometers.——大约三公里。
2．get to
get to意为“到达”，后面加地点，若地点为副词here，there，home等则不加to。
【拓展】(1)arrive意为“到达”，是不及物动词，后面跟地点时需加介词in，at。in＋大地方，at＋小地方。
They arrived in Beijing yesterday.他们昨天到达北京。
He is arriving at school soon.他很快就到学校了。
(2)reach是及物动词，后面直接跟宾语。
They reached Beijing yesterday.他们昨天到达北京。
3．It takes sb. some time to do sth.
意为“花费某人多长时间做某事”。
【拓展】“花费”：spend some time/money on sth./(in) doing sth.；pay some money for sth.；cost主语为物。
It took me an hour to clean the room.＝I spent an hour cleaning the room.我花了一小时时间打扫房间。
The book costs him 10 yuan.＝He paid 10 yuan for the book.＝He spent 10 yuan on/buying the book.这本书花了他十元钱。

(2)it is easy to get to school是个it作形式主语的句子，真正的主语是后面的不定式，本句也可说成to get to school is easy。如：
