初中英语 重点短语(Module 1 Unit 2 Numbers (2))
知识梳理:
【短语学习】
1. at first 首先
【用法】
意思是“起初;开始”,它主要用于强调前后对照,暗示接下去的动作与前面的动作不同甚至相反,因此常有 but, afterwards, soon, at last 等相呼应。at first=first of all。
【例句】
At first I didn’t want to go, but I soon changed my mind.
我开始不想去,但我很快就改变了主意。
The work was hard at first, but I got used to it. 起初这活儿很累,不过后来我习惯了。
At first we used hand tools. Later we had machines. 开始我们用手工工具,后来我们有了机器。

2. the number of ……的数量
【用法】
the number of 表示“……的数量”,跟复数名词连用作主语时,谓语动词要用单数。 The number of the students in our class is 50. 我们班学生的数量是50人。
a number of 表示“许多”相当于many,修饰可数名词复数,number前可用large, small等修饰,以表程度。谓语动词用复数。 A number of students are planting trees on the hill. 许多学生在山上植树。

Let me count. The number of the students ________________ 400.
A. are; is B. is; are C. are; are D. is; is
答案:A
思路分析:考查主谓一致,a number of +复数名词在句中作主语,谓语动词用复数;the nubmer of +复数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数,故选A。
3. so that 以便
【用法】
so that 与so...that 的区别。
so that 引导目的状语从句,表示“以便;为了”,从句中常使用can/could/may/might/will/would等情态动词或助动词。 The little boy saved every coin so that he could buy his mother a present on Mother’s Day. 这个小男孩攒下每个钱币以便能在母亲节给他母亲买个礼物。
so...that so+形容词/副词+that, 引导结果状语从句,意思是“如此……以至于”。 When the football fans saw
Beckham, they were so excited that they cried out.
当球迷看到贝克汉姆时,他们如此激动,以至于尖叫起来。
【考题链接】

A. too; to B. so; that C. enough; to D. such; that
答案:B
思路分析:too...to 意为“太……而不能”与句意不符,enough 修饰形容词应放其后,such应修饰名词,故选B。
4. develop into 发展成为
【用法】
developing 意思是“发展中的”,developed意思是“发达的”,development为名词。
【拓展】
develop into 与develop from的区别
develop into 意为“发展为……” Seeds develop into plants.

lead意思是“引导;领(路)”,lead ...into “带领……进入”, lead to “导致;通向”。
