二、重点单词
【单词学习】
1. celebrate v. 庆祝
【用法】
celebrate可作及物动词,后接名词,celebrate +sth. 意为“庆祝某件事情”,宾语只接“事物”而不接人。也可以用作不及物动词,表示庆祝。名词形式:celebration,意为“庆祝会,庆典,典礼”。
【例句】
Today is his birthday, so we're going to celebrate.
今天是他的生日,所以我们要庆祝一下。
【考题链接】
Tom ___________________ his 24th birthday two days ago.
A. celebrated B. celebration
C. congratulated D. congratulation
答案:A
思路分析:根据句意“两天前,汤姆庆祝了他24岁的生日”可知,此处用动词填空。庆祝某事用celebrate。
2. however adv. 然而;不过
【用法】
however表示转折,尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时。可放在句首、句中或句末,通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开。
【例句】
My room is small. However, it’s comfortable. 我的房间很小,但却很舒服。
【拓展】
1)表示让步:意为“无论如何”“不管怎样”,用来修饰形容词或副词,引导一个让步状语从句。其词序为:however+形容词或副词+主语+谓语。However much he eats, he never gets fat. 不管他吃多少,他永远都不胖。
2)however和but二者都意为“可是,但是”。
but连接两个并列分句,前后两句在总的意义上构成了对比。
I really don't like cheese, but I will try just a little this time. 我实在是不喜欢吃奶酪,但是这次我要尝一点。
however是副词不能直接连接两个分句。
It was raining hard. However, we went out to look for the boy. 雨下得很大,不过我们还是出去寻找那个孩子。
【考题链接】
My name is Robert, _______________most of my friends call me Rob for short.
A. then B. instead C. however D. but
答案:D
思路分析:however意思是“然而”,转折意味没有but强,后有“,”而but没有。
3. wonder v. 好奇;想知道
【用法】
wonder可以用作及物动词,意为“想知道;对……感到怀疑”;也可用作不及物动词,意为“感到惊讶;感到疑惑”,常用结构为wonder at与wonder about,表示“对……感到疑惑;对……感到新奇”。 还可以用作名词,意为“奇迹;奇观”。
【例句】
I wonder who will play in the basketball match. 我想知道这场篮球赛谁会上场。
The Great Wall is one of the seven wonders of the world.
长城是世界上七大奇迹之一。
【考题链接】
I ________________ why Ann is late. Who can tell me?
A. wonder B. say C. think D. tell
答案:A
思路分析:根据句意“谁能告诉我?”可知我想知道安为什么迟到。“想知道”用wonder。
4. past n. 过去;昔日;过去的事情
【用法】
past用作名词,表示“往事或过去的生活经历或事业”,常用作不可数名词;用作形容词,意为“过去的;刚过去的;前任的”;用作介词,表示“(时间、数量等)过;通过,经过”。
【例句】
We know something of his past. 我们对他的经历略知一二。
The children walked past our house. 孩子们走过我们的房子。
【拓展】pass和past的区别:
这两个词初学者容易混淆。它们的主要区别在于pass是动词,而past是介词。如:
After they passed the forest, they came to a river. 他们穿过那片树林后,便来到一条河边。
I go past the post office every day. 我每天都从邮局经过。
【考题链接】
We would like to put the ________________ behind us.
A. passed B. pass C. pasts D. past
答案:D
思路分析:句意“我们想抛开过去。”the后接名词,past用作不可数名词。
5. lively adj. 充满活力的;生动有趣的
【用法】
lively可用作定语、表语和宾语补足语,指人或物。
【例句】
She is a lively girl. 她是一位活泼的姑娘。
【拓展】alive, live, living用法辨析
1)alive意为“活着的”,侧重说明生与死之间的界限,既可指人,也可指物;可用来作表语,后置定语或宾补。
如:No man alive is greater than he. 在活着的人中没有人比他更伟大了。(注:此时alive 含有“在所有活着的……之中”)
He wanted to keep the fish alive. 他想让鱼活着。
2)living意为“活着的”强调说明“尚在人间”,“健在”,可用来指人或物,作定语或表语。如:My first teacher is still living. 我的启蒙老师仍健在。
注意:living 前加上the,表示类别,指“活着的人们”。living 还可用于短语,例如:make a living 谋生。
make a / one's living by + ing 通过干……谋生
3)live “活着的”,通常指物,不指人,常用来作定语放名词的前面。还指“实况转播的”。
例如:a live wire 有电的电线,a live fish 一条活鱼。
【考题链接】
He may be eighty, but he is still _________________.
A. live B. young C. old D. lively
答案:D
思路分析:live通常只作前置定语,且一般用于动物,句意:“他可能已有八十岁,但是仍然充满朝气。”,young/old 不符合句意。
