二、帮你解疑
1.make做使役动词时的句式
make做使役动词时,意为“使(某人/某事物)成为/变为/变成/变得”,其搭配是make+sb. /sth.(宾语)+do/adj./pp/prep.phrase/n.(做补语)。即主要有下列几种结构:
(1)make+sb. /sth.+do,表示“让某人做某事”,句中make做“使(做某事)”或“使之成为”解,后跟不带to的不定式做宾语补足语。例如:
The boss made them work all night.
老板让他们通宵工作。
All they need is something to make them feel better at that moment.
他们所需要的只是某种使他们当时感到舒服的东西。
注意:上述例句如果改用被动语态,则不定式符号to不能省略。
(2)make+sb. /sth.+adj.。此结构中,make意为“使……,致使……,后接形容词做宾语补足语,用来修饰人或事物的性质或所处的状态。例如:
The smell of cooking makes me hungry.
做饭的味道让我感到肚子饿。
The news made her happy.这消息使她很高兴。
She made it clear that she objected to the proposal.
她明确表示反对此提案。
(3)make+sb. /sth.+pp。例如:
Such a long lecture would make the audience tired.
这么冗长的讲话会使听众感到疲乏。
(4)make+sb. /sth.+prep.phrase表示“使……处于某种状态”。例如:
He asked us to make ourselves at home.
他要我们不要拘束。
(5)make+sb. /sth.+n.表示“使……成为……”。例如:
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
只工作不娱乐使杰克脑子极为迟钝。(只工作不玩耍,聪明的孩子也变傻。)
2.ever的用法
ever用做副词,意为“曾经,以前,无论何时,总是”等。其用法比较灵活,现归纳如下:
(1)用于一般疑问句中,意为“曾经”“这以前”,汉语中一般不译出。例如:
Don't you ever get tired?难道你从来不累吗?
Have you ever been to Beijing?你去过北京吗?
(2)用于否定句中,意为“无论何时都不……,至今不曾……”。例如:
Nothing ever happens in the lonely village.
这个偏僻的小村子至今未出过事。
I have not ever/never been there alone.
我从未单独去过那里。
注意:ever虽可与not连用,但通常用never代替。
(3)用于条件句中,意为“曾经”“有机会”。例如:
If you ever come to Beijing,please let me know.
如果有机会来北京,请告诉我。
If you ever have any problems,please call me.
你若有任何问题,请给我打电话。
(4)与比较级连用,意为“以前,以往,任何时候”。例如:
It is raining harder than ever.
雨下得比以前更大了。
3.as well as的用法
as well as是英语中常用的连接词,意为“既……也”“不仅……而且”,常连接两个并列成分,具体用法如下:
(1)连接并列的单词或短语。例如:
It is unpleasant in summer as well as in winter.
夏天不好过,冬天也不好过。
(2)连接两个谓语动词,此时前后时态应保持一致。例如:
He publishes as well as prints his own books.
他的书是他自己印刷出版的。
(3)如果as well as前面是动词不定式,那么其后的动词也是不定式,但to要省略。例如:
You cannot expect her to do the housework as well as look after the children.你不能期望她既照顾孩子又做家务。
(4)连接并列主语,此时谓语动词和第一个主语一致。例如:
Helen as well as I is eager to see the performance.
海伦和我一样急于要看演出。
(5)as well as连接的人称代词既可以是主格,也可以是宾格,但句意不同。例如:
They have invited you as well as me.
他们邀请了我,也邀请了你。(you和me都做invited的宾语)
They have invited you as well as I.
他们和我一样都邀请了你。(they和I都做invited的主语)
(6)as well as用于肯定结构和否定结构中,其意义不同。as well as和not搭配使用,as well as位于not前时,两者均否定;位于not后时,否定前者,肯定后者。例如:
George,as well as his brother,has gone abroad.
乔治和他弟弟一样都出国了。
George hasn't gone abroad as well as his brother.
乔治并没有和他弟弟一样出国去。(他弟弟一人出国)
George,as well as his brother,hasn't gone abroad.
乔治和他弟弟都没有出国。(弟弟两人都没出国)
4.as if的用法
(1)as if意为“好像”,在本句中引导的是方式状语从句。例如:
The child talked to us as if he were a grown up.
那孩子跟我们谈起话来,像个成年人似的。
(2)as if后的从句用的是虚拟语气。当说话人认为句子所述的是不真实的或极少有可能发生或存在的情况时,从句中通常要使用虚拟语气。从句虚拟语气动词时态的形式如下:
①如果从句表示与现在事实相反,谓语动词用一般过去时。例如:
You look as if you didn't care.
你看上去好像并不在乎。
②从句表示与过去事实相反,谓语动词用“had+过去分词”。例如:
He talked about Rome as if he had been there before.
他说起罗马来好像他以前去过那里似的。
③从句表示与将来事实相反,谓语动词用“would/could/might+动词原形”。例如:
He opened his mouth as if he would say something.
他张开嘴好像要说什么。
It looks as if it might snow.看来好像要下雪了。
(3)as if还可用于省略句中。如果as if引导的从句是“主语+系动词”结构,可省略主语和系动词,这样as if后就只剩下名词、不定式、形容词(短语)、介词短语或分词。例如:
He acts as if(he was)a fool.他做事像个傻子。
Tom raised his hand as if(he was going)to say something.汤姆举起手好像要说什么。
She looks as if(she was)asleep.
她看上去好像睡着了。

A.as B.unless
C.even if D.as if

答案:D
5.more than...不仅仅……;不只……;多于……
该句型置于名词、形容词、副词、动词及从句之前。如:
Mr.Robert is more than our teacher.He is our friend.
罗伯特先生不只是我们的老师,他还是我们的朋友。
Her performance was more than good;it was perfect.
她的表演非常好,可以说是完美的。
There were more than 100 people at the party.

The consequence was much more than he imagined.

提示:more than one+单数可数名词“不只一人/物”(作主语时,谓语动词要用单数)。如:
More than one person is going to lose his job.
失业的人会不只一个。
(1)more...than...与其……倒不如……如:

与其说他是老师,不如说他是学者。
(2)more+多音节的形容词或副词+than...比……更加……如:
The book was more interesing than I had expected.

他穷得只剩下10美元了。
(4)not more than 不超过;至多。相当于at most。如:
He said he had not more than ten dollars.

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice,people seem to say,but not important.Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment,but certainly not an education priority(优先).This view is shortsighted.In fact,music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are.Because music is an expression of the beings who create it,it reflects their thinking and values,as well as the social environment it came from.Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way.Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason:No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.They are ways we human beings“talk”to each other.They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears,our curiosities,our hungers,our discoveries,our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others.When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music,we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.The arts do.Music is an important way we express human suffering,celebration,the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
