【词汇精讲】
1. whatever pron. 无论什么,不管什么;任何事物
whatever意为“无论什么,不管什么;”常用来引导从句,尤其是让步状语从句。
Whatever I suggest, he always disagrees. 无论我提议什么,他总是反对。
Whatever happens. We’ll meet here tonight. 无论发生什么事,我们今晚都要在这里见面。
在中考中,whatever与no matter what的区别是常考点
no matter what 只能引导状语从句,但whatever既可引导状语从句(=no matter what),还可引导名词性从句(=anything that)。
无论他做什么都是对的。
正:Whatever he did was right.
误:No matter what he did was right.
无论你说什么,我都不会相信你。
正:Whatever you say, I won't believe you.
正:No matter what you say, I won't believe you.
whatever与whichever的区别:whatever意为“无论什么;凡是……的事物”; whichever意为“无论哪个;无论哪些”。此外,whichever后也可以接一个名词,当然,在一定的语境中,与whichever连用的名词有时可以省略。如:
I’ll do whatever you ask me to do. 你叫我做什么,我就做什么。
You should wear whichever dress suits you best. 什么衣服最适合你穿,你就应该穿什么。
_____________ you do, work hard at it and try your best.
A. What B. Whatever C. How D. However
答案:B
思路分析:根据句意“无论你做什么,都要尽最大努力做好它。”Whatever引导让步状语从句,意为“无论什么”。可知选B。
2. support v. 帮助,援助;支持
support意为“支持,资助,援助”,常用结构:support sb. in sth.意为“在(某方面)支持某人做某事”。
I’ll try my best to support you in the work. 我将在工作中全力支持你。
support n. 帮助,支持
give support to sb.给某人提供帮助
in support of支持,证明 (作状语)
Her family and friends have given her lots of support. 她的家人和朋友给了她许多帮助。
根据语境及所给汉语提示写出句中所缺单词。
They have __________(援助)some children in the poor area.
答案:supported
思路分析:根据句意“他们已经援助了一些贫困地区的孩子”,应该用现在完成时,因此填supported。
3. encourage v. 鼓励
encourage意为“鼓励”是及物动词,后可直接跟人,courage是其名词形式。常见结构:encourage sb. to do sth. 鼓励某人做某事。
My father encourages me to play the guitar. 我父亲鼓励我弹吉他。
This kind of contest encourages people in China to speak English. 这种比赛激励着中国人说英语。
encourage sb. to do sth. 鼓励某人做某事
根据汉语提示写出所缺的单词。
Her English teacher’s words have____________(激励)her a whole life.
答案:encouraged
思路分析:考查encourage的写法。句意:她的英语老师的话激励了她一生。由题干可知该句时态为现在完成时,故答案为encouraged。
4. continue v. 持续,继续做
continue意为“持续,继续做”,是及物动词,后可直接跟名词或动名词。
He continued the boring work day after day.
他日复一日地做着乏味的工作。
continue doing sth.(使)继续,(使)延续
He continued writing his diaries until he died.
他长期坚持写日记,直到去世。
根据汉语提示填空。
Are you going to_________(继续)doing homework after dinner?
答案:continue
思路分析:continue doing sth.(使)继续,(使)延续,根据句意“你晚饭后将要继续做家庭作业吗?”因此填continue。
5. as a matter of 事实上,其实
as a matter of fact实际上,其实,相当于in fact。
I haven’t been here long. As a matter of fact, I just got off the plane yesterday morning.
我到这里没多久。实际上,我昨天早上刚下飞机。
—Was he in a bad mood? 他心情不好吗?
—No, as a matter of fact, he seemed quite cheerful. 不,实际上,他看起来非常高兴。

A. As a result B. In a word C. As a matter of fact D. In the end
答案:C
思路分析:杰克看上去很虚弱,实际上他很健康。
6. get used to(doing) sth 习惯于做某事
get used to(doing)sth.意为“习惯于做某事”,可用于现在、过去、将来等多种时态,get可用be / become等来代替。
He will get(has gotten) used to getting up early.他将会(已经)习惯于早起。
get used to(doing) sth.与used to do sth.的区别是常考点。
used to do sth. “过去总做某事(现在不做了)”,只用于过去时态。used to的否定式可为used not to,也可为didn’t use to。疑问式也有两种:Did… use to? 或Used… to? 如:
He used to be a quiet boy. 他过去是个安静的男孩。(现在不这样了)
Did he use to be a quiet boy? / Used he to be a quiet boy?
他过去是个安静的男孩吗?
be used to do sth.“被用于做某事”,不定式表示目的,可用于多种时态。如:
Wood is used to make paper. 木材被用来造纸。
be/get/become used to( doing) sth.中to是介词,而used to do sth.中的to接动词原形,构成动词不定式。
He_______ to school by bike, but now he________ to school on foot.
A. used to going; gets used to go B. used to go; gets used to go
C. used to go; gets used to going D. gets used to going; used to go
答案:C
思路分析:used to do sth.意为“过去总是做某事”;be/get used to doing sth.意为“习惯于做某事”,根据句意“他过去经常骑自行车去上学,但是现在习惯于步行去上学。”故选C。
7. pick sb. up (开车)接人
pick sb. up意为“(开车)接人”,当后接人称代词时,人称代词必须放在pick和up中间。
I’ll pick you up at five. 我五点钟开车接你。
当pick up后接人称代词时,人称代词的位置是常见考点。
pick up还可以表示“拿起,举起,提起。”的意思,如:
She picked up the book on the floor. 她捡起地上的书。
—Could you please_________ my friend at the station?
—Sorry, my car is broken.
call up B. pick up C. look after D. cheer on
答案:B
思路分析:pick sb. up意为“开车接某人”,根据句意“请你在车站接我的朋友好吗?”故选B。
