典例剖析

1. Mr. Wang made up his mind to devote all he could ____ his oral English before going abroad. A. improve

B. to improve

C. improving

D. to improving 【分析】此题中包含固定短语devote…to，其中to 为介词，后面应接定名词。动词devote后接的宾语为all，all又为先行词，后又包含一个定语从句：he could (do)。此题很容易误以为could后应接动词原形，而易选为A。答案为D。

2. Everything he ____ away from him before he returned to his hometown. A. took

B. had been taken

C. had had been taken

D. had taken 【分析】此题应该首先把句子结构分析清楚。句中Everything既作句子的主语，又作先行词，后接定语从句(that) he had，而had been taken 是过去完成时的被动态作句子的谓语。此题的意思为“在他返回家乡之前，他所有的一切都被拿走了”。故选C。

3. Before he went abroad, he spent as much time as he ____ English. A. could learning

B. learned

C. to learn

D. could learn 【分析】此题中包含句型结构spend … (in) doing sth., 其中题中spent的宾语为much time , much time作为先行词，后又接定语从句he could (spend)。故选A。

1. —What do you think of his English? —Excellent. He _______ speak very well.

A. do

B. doesn't

C. does

D. 不填

II. as well as 用法

1）as well as 常用来连接两个并列的成分，意思是“和，不仅……而且”。

注意：as well as 强调的是前一项，后一项只是顺便提及。因此连接并列主语时，谓语动词与前一项一致；而用not only ...but also...连接时，强调的是but also，因此谓语动词与后一项一致。如：

She called on you as well as me．

她不但拜访了我，也拜访了你。

Your wife as well as you is friendly to me. 不仅你而且你的妻子也对我很友好。

比较：Not only you but also your wife is friendly to me. Electric energy can be changed into light energy as well as into sound energy. 电能既可以被转变成声能，又可以被转变成光能。

2）as...as 是同级比较的结构，所以，as well as 也表示“同……一样好”。如：

You look as well as you did ten years ago. 你的身体看起来还和十年前一样好。

He plays the guitar as well as you. 他的吉他弹得和你一样好。

He speaks Spanish as well as English.

他说西班牙语像说英语一样好

比较：

He can speak Spanish as well as English.

他会说西班牙语，也会说英语.

D. as well as；is

3. Mrs Black writes ____ ，if not better than，her husband.

A. as well as

B. so well

C. so well as

D. as well

III．compare的用法

1) 表示“把……与……比较”，通常用compare…with…，但在现代英语中，也可用compare… to…，或者用compare…and…。如：

If you compare his work with [and] hers, you’ll find hers is much better.

要是把他俩的工作比较一下，就会发现她的好得多。

Having compared the new dictionary with [to, and] the old one, he found the new one more helpful.

将新旧词典比较之后，他发现新词典更有用。

2) 表示“把……比作……”，通常用compare…to…，一般不用compare…with…。如：

Shakespeare compared the world to a stage.

莎士比亚把世界比作舞台。

The poet compares the woman he loves to a rose.

诗人把他所爱的女人比作玫瑰。

3) 在compared to [with]（与……相比）这一习语中，用to或with已没什么区别。如：

Compared with [to] him, I’m just a beginner.

和他相比，我只是一个初学者。

Compared to [with] many women, she was very fortunate.

和许多女人相比，她算是很幸运的了。

4) 用作不及物动词时，其后习惯上只接with，多与情态动词can连用，表示“比得上”“能与……比美”，但一般用于否定句或疑问句中。如：

Nothing can compare with wool for warmth.

没有比羊毛更暖和的东西了。

Life in a town can’t compare with life in the country.

乡村的生活比城镇的生活好得多。

无被动语态,意思为"证明是;结果是;事实说明"，可用于以下句型:

1) prove+形容词

The handbook proved most useful. 这本手册证明很有用。

The medicine proved satisfactory. 结果证明这药疗效令人满意。

2) prove+名词

She proved a very strict teacher. 结果证明她是一位非常严格的老师。

4) prove+动词不定式

典例剖析

1. ______ in thought, he almost ran into the car in front of him.

A. Losing

B. Having lost

C. Lost

D. To lose 【分析】此题为省略句。Lost in thought 相当于Because he was lost in thought。短语be lost in 表状态，表示“陷入……”。故选C。

2.The research is so designed that once ____ nothing can be done to change it. A. begins

B. having begun

C. beginning

D. begun 【分析】此题也为省略句。连词once后省略了主语the search，从句“once

B. Put on

C. Putting on

D. Because of putting on 【分析】.此题也是一个省略回答，完整的回答是：Putting on weight made the woman so upset。

A Last year, I had a great trip to Hearst Castle at San Simeon in California. Hearst Castle was

built by William Randolph Hearst between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million—about $277 million today.

I spent all day looking around, but a day wasn't enough time to see everything. There was so much to see. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is much bigger than the other three, which were used for guests. Many of these guests were Hollywood film stars, and they often came to Hearst's parties.

At Hearst Castle, there are 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms and 19 sitting rooms. There are also beautiful gardens, a garage for 25 large cars and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”—it was a pity we couldn't go swimming!

I found the tour very helpful. The guide told me that Hearst, at the age of ten, toured Europe with his mother, looking at paintings and castles. He never forgot this tour and decided that he wanted his house to look like a castle.

Hearst died in 1951, and his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. It is now a museum.

But mainly they are used to show video games.

A Play is the important business of childhood, and more and more research in recent years has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From infancy (婴儿期), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with them often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.

In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated (低估). A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds (界线). Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. By the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years old — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, and they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 1. According to the passage, when a child grows up ______. A. he should be given fewer toys B. he should choose his own toys C. he should be given different toys D. he should be given more and more toys 2. Who have the best chance to grow up successfully?

A. Those who grow up all by themselves. B. Those who are given a lot of toys to play with. C. Those who have playmates to share the toys they have. D. Those who are given a lot of toys, talked to and played with. 3. According to the passage, a child is very curious when he is ______. A. two years old B. four years old C. six years old D. eight years old 4. The passage is mainly about ______. A. the importance of schooling B. the role of play in a child’s development

C. the choice of toys for youths D. the importance of pre-school education
