(2)talk 是不及物动词,着重强调两个人之间的相互说话,常见词组有:

talk of 谈到
talk to sb与某人谈话
She is talking with Mark in French.她正跟马克用法语交谈。

(3)say 一般作及物动词,强调说话的内容。如:
What did you say just now?你刚刚说了什么?

(4)tell常作及物动词,表示“讲述,告诉”,后面常跟随双宾语,即tell sb.sth..还可用在tell of sb./sth.中。如:

He often tells of his sister.他经常谈到他的姐姐。
12.occur, happen, take place 的区别
都表示发生,都是不及物动词,不能用于被动语态中,也不能把过去分词用来作形容词。
1)happen往往还有“偶然”或“未能预见”的意思。
eg.
I didn’t buy it, because it happened that I had no money on me.
我没买那东西,因为当时碰巧身上没带钱。
2)occur有时按计划使某些事或结果“发生”,有时强调“呈现”于人的知觉、心脑。
eg.
It didn’t seem to have occurred to him that the masses, once mobilized, could work greater wonders than any individual could dream of .
他仿佛没有想到群众一旦动员起来,可以做出任何人所梦想不到的奇迹。
3)take place可指事件“发生”,但更常用表示“举行”。
eg. The meeting took place in the great auditorium. 会议在大礼堂里举行。
13.carry, bring, take, fetch, get的区别
1)carry指随身携带,不特别表示带到什么地方,而携带的方式是提、扛、背、抬等。
eg. He was carrying a wooden box on his shoulder.
他肩膀上扛着一个木箱。
2)bring指从别处把东西拿来,其后可跟双宾语、直接宾语,也可以是抽象名词。
eg. Please bring me a new pencil.
请给我拿支新铅笔来。
3)take指把东西从说话人这儿带到别处去,同bring方向正好相反。
eg. The monkey took the tiger to a big river.
猴子把老虎带到大河边。
4)fetch和get意思差不多,指去别处拿来,等于go and bring, 表示一往一返。get常用于口语。
eg. Let’s fetch some water. 咱们去打点水来。
14.laugh, smile的区别
1) laugh指一般的笑,或出声大笑。
eg. He laughed loudly when he heard what I said.
他听见我说的话之后,放声大笑。
2)smile 指无声地“微笑”。
eg. We can see from far that our guests are smiling and waving at us.
从远处我们可以看见我们的客人在向我们微笑,在向我们挥手。
15.almost, nearly 的区别
1)almost = very nearly都表示“几乎,差不多”,常可通用。
eg.
It’s almost / nearly two o’clock, 差不多两点了。
He fell off a tree and almost / nearly died. 他从树上摔下,险些丧命。
解析 从实际事实角度讲,almost比nearly的“差距”更小。从说话人的心理角度讲,nearly暗含“仍有差距”,almost暗含“似无差别”比如上面的例句。第一句用almost 比nearly反映出实际时间更接近two o’clock, 但用almost时反映出说话人的心理活动是“还差一点才到整两点”。若用nearly则心理活动是“可以说已到整两点”。第二句也是这样。用almost的心理活动是“仍活着”,用nearly是“快死了”。可以看出心理角度的不同决定着对二者的选用。
2)almost和nearly可以互换的场合。
I.在肯定句中。
eg.
I’m almost / nearly 90 years old. 我差不多快90岁了。
She fell and almost / nearly broke her neck. 我跌倒了,颈骨险些骨折。
II.修饰all, every, always等时。
eg. I almost / nearly always go to bed at eleven.
我差不多总是11点钟上床睡觉。
III.在行为动词的否定式前。
eg. He almost / nearly didn’t hear what I said.
他几乎未听见我讲了些什么。
3)只能使用almost 的场合。
I.修饰no, none, never, any 以及no 和any的合成词。
eg.
I have almost nothing to do today.
我今天几乎什么都没做。
This word is to be found in almost any dictionary.
这个词几乎在任何一本词典中都能查到。
This is almost none left. 几乎没有人走。
II.修饰表示感觉或心境的动词和形容词。
eg.
You could almost imagine you were on Switzerland. 你几乎可以设想你在瑞士。
I almost think you’re right. 我还不完全相信你是对的。
III.修饰move than和too.
eg.
That’s almost too much.那简直太过分了。
注意:谓语动词不是行为动词时,almost不与not 连用。
4)只能用nearly的场合,被very, not, pretty所修饰时。
eg.
I’m not nearly ready. 我还没有准备好。
I know pretty nearly all the secrets of her married life.
她的婚姻生活的秘密我几乎全部知道。
注意:not nearly = far from, much less than. 差得远,远远不够。
eg.
There’s not nearly enough money for a new car.
买一部新车的钱,还差得很远。
I.表示快要做什么事,但后来“没有做”或“避开不做时”。
eg. We nearly called to see you last Saturday.
我们上星期六差点来看你。
16.common与ordinary
1)common意为“普通的,一般的,平常的”,是指符合或具有同类的人或事物所共有的特征。例如:common sense 常识,a common mistake 一般的错误,common people老百姓,common knowledge人所共知的事。
eg. Heart disease is one of the commonest causes of death. 心脏病是最常见的死因之一。
2)ordinary 在意思上与common很接近,也有“平常的”“普遍的”之意。但其着重点与common不同,common着重于共性,而ordinary则侧重于平常,具有并无非常或独特之处之意。例如:an ordinary teacher 一个普通教师,不能说成a common teacher.
eg. Our chemistry teacher is an ordinary little man with thick glasses.
我们的化学老师是一个相貌平常的,戴深度眼镜的小个子男人。
17.each other与one another 的区别
each other和one another是两组相互代词,一般说来,each other 用于两个人或两个事物之间,但这种区别在现代英语中已不明显。
eg.You and I know each other very well。
你我相互都很了解。
All the children here are fond of one another。
这里所有的孩子相互都很喜欢。
注意:each other有时可分开使用,这时each可以用作主语。
eg.Each tries to do better than the other in their work.
每个人在工作中都尽力比别人做得更好。
重点难点聚焦
一、动名词在句中作主语
Collecting stamps will cost you a lot of money.集邮将花费你很多钱。
Driving a car isn’t as comfortable as traveling by train.
开车旅行不如乘火车旅行舒服。
1. it作形式主语,当动名词短语在句中作主语时,为了保持句子平衡,我们用it作为形式主语,而将真正的主语放在句末。
It’s dangerous playing in the street.在街上玩是危险的。
It’s no good arguing with him.与他争论是没有好处的。
必背句型:
It’s no use doing…= It’s of no use / It’s useless + to do sth.
It’s no good doing…
It’s a waste of …doing sth..
It’s very difficult doing sth..
It’s nice doing sth.
注:能用动名词作主语的句子比较少一些,主要用于no good, no use, useless, senseless, dangerous,waste等词作表语的句子。
2.在下列句型中只能用动名词作主语。
There is no+v-ing(…是不可能的)
=It is impossible to do sth.
=No one can …(or we can not…)
There is no joking about such matters.这种事开不得玩笑。
There is no getting in touch with him和他取得联系是不可能的。
注:动名词短语在句中作主语时,谓语动词要用单数。
二、 动名词在句中作表语
动名词在句中作表语时一般表示抽象的习惯性的动作,表语和主语常常可以互换。
My job is teaching English.(Teaching English is my job.)我的工作是教英语。
三、 动名词在句中作宾语
They have finished doing their homework.他们已经做完作业了。
Nothing can stop us from realizing the four modernizations in our country.

Excuse my being late,please.=Excuse me for being late.请原谅我来迟了
Heavy rain prevented my visiting him yesterday.=Heavy rain prevented me from visiting him yesterday.昨天,大雨阻止了我拜访他。
2.在介词后面作宾词,动名词常跟在一些固定词组后作宾语。
(1)add to加上,be afraid of 怕(产生某种后果),be ashamed of为……感到羞愧,be busy(in)doing sth.忙于做某事,be clever at在……方面聪明,be engaged in从事于,be fond of喜欢,be good at擅长,be interested in对……感兴趣,be proud of为……而骄傲,be successful in在……方面成功,be sick of对……感到恶心,be sentenced to宣判,be tired of厌烦,come to谈到,depend on依靠,dream of梦想,devote…to…把……贡献,excuse…for…为……而原谅,feel like愿意 ,get to开始,hear of 听说insist on坚持,know of对……了解,keep…from…阻止……做……,persist in坚持 ,set about 动手去做, spend…on在……花费,spend…(in)doing sth.花……做某事, stop…from…阻止……做……,stick to坚持,succeed in在……取得成功,thank…for… 为……而感谢……,think of 想到.
注:insist on 表示对要求、看法、意见或主张的“坚持”;stick to 表示对“愿望、原则、决定、诺言、意见、理想或某种理论的坚持不渝;persist in 表示对某种活动坚持不懈或对某种信念固执不改。
表示“阻止某人做某事”的几个短语中stop,prevent 后的from可以省略,而keep后的from不能省,因为keep sb. doing sth. 表示”使某人一直做某事”.
(2)在下面句型中也常用动名词.
There is no use/ need /harm/ hurry +in doing sth
There be/We have fun /some difficulty/some trouble/problem/pleasure/a good time/a hard time +in doing sth.
例如:

四、分词在句中作表语
在系动词be,become,feel,get,grow,keep,look,remain,seem,sound,appear等后面的现在分词作表语时,一般表示主动或表示主语的性质和特征。含有“令人……”之意,多数情况下主语为物:
The first impressions are most lasting.最初的印象历时最久。
This piece of news is encouraging.这条消息鼓舞人心。
作表语的分词大部分是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的,而且这类分词实际上已基本形容词化。常见的有以下分词:
amusing,astonishing,boring,disappointing,discouraging,encouraging,exciting,interesting,missing,promising,puzzling,shocking,surprising,striking等。
The novel is very interesting and we are all interested in it.
这本小说很有趣,我们对它都很感兴趣。
These colours are pleasing.这些色彩令人愉快。
作表语的现在分词和进行时态中的现在分词的区别。
在系表结构中,现在分词表示主语的特性,be 为系动词,可以换作其他的系动词。而在进行进态中,现在分词表示主语正在进行的动作,在句中与助动词be一起构成谓语,此结构中的助动词be不能换成其他的助动词。
The news is moving.这消息令人感动。
(moving为表语,说明主语的特性)
His heroic deeds are moving us.他的英雄事迹正在感动着我们。(moving为现在分词,与助动词are构成谓语)

典型例题
【例1】________the meeting himself gave them a great deal of encouragement.
A .The president will attend B. The president to attend
C. The president attended D. The president’s attending
精析 The president’s attending the meeting himself是现在分词的复合结构,在句中作主语。
答案 D
【例2】-Have a nice weekend.
-Thank you._________
A.See you later. B. What about you?
C.The same to you . D.Thank you all the same.
精析 对于别人的祝愿有两种应答方式:
(1) 若可以互致祝愿常说The same to you.也可以说And you,too.译为“同样祝你…”。
(2)有些祝愿不能互致,只能用Thank you.来应答。(如:Happy birthday.一般情况下问者与答者不大可能是同一天生日。)故改题C为最佳选项。A、B、D项语境不妥,其中D项用于回答请求别人帮助未成功时的礼貌应答;B项用于询问对方或别人的情况或提建议。
答案 C
