no one,nobody与none的用法区别
1、no one=nobody,两者均只能指人不指物,其后通常不接of短语,作主语时谓语用单数;而none 既可指人也可指物,其后通常接of短语,用作主语时,若指不可数名词,谓语只能用单数,若指可数名词,则谓语可用单数(较正式)也可用复数(用于非正式文体):
No one [Nobody] likes it. 没人喜欢它。
None of the food was left. 一点食物都没留下。
None of the books is [are] interesting. 没有一本书有趣。
2、none 往往暗示有一定的范围(这种范围通常就表现在其后的of短语上),而 no one 或 nobody 则不暗示这种范围(同时也不接表范围的of短语)。比较:
"Did any of your friends come to see you?" "None." "你的朋友当中有谁来看过你吗?" "一个也没来。"(None为None of my friends之略)
"Did anyone come to see you?""No one." "有人来看过你吗?""谁也没来。"
3、none 有时暗示一种数量,即指数量上"一个也没有",而 no one 或 nobody 则往往表示一种全面否定,即指"谁都没有",所以在回答 how many 或 how much 的提问时,通常用 none,而在回答 who 的提问时,通常用 no one 或 nobody.
-ed形容词和-ing形容词的用法区别
原则上说,由-ed分词转化来的形容词表被动含义,由-ing分词转化来的形容词表主动含义:
a broken heart 破碎的心(=a heart that has been broken)
an interesting book 有趣的书(=a book which interests readers)
falling leaves 下落的树叶(=leaves that are falling)
Everyone was moved by the moving story. 大家都被这个感人的故事感动了。
You may be worried if you have worrying problem. 假若你有一个令人担忧的问题,你可能感到担忧。
关于-ed形容词和-ing形容词的用法,有的人认为-ed形容词只用于人,-ing形容词只用于物,此说法尽管对读者来说记忆方便,而且在许多情况下也是可行的,但由于说得太绝对,在许多情况下却是不可靠的。
如-ing 形容词用于人的情况就比比皆是:假若你的老师说话幽默、讲课生动,那么不仅他的课非常interesting,而且你会说他是一个 interesting man(有趣的人)。比较:
I'm interested in interesting people. 我对有趣的人感兴趣。
He was worried about his worrying son. 他为他令人担忧的儿子感到担忧。
He was annoyed with the annoying person. 他对这个讨厌的人很生气。
另一方面,-ed 形容词用于指物的情况也不少见。比较并体会:
a frightened look 害怕的表情(指带有这种"表情"的人感到害怕)
a frightening look 吓人的表情(指这种"表情"令人害怕)
an excited talk 心情激动的谈话(指"谈话"的人心情激动)
an exciting talk 令人激动的谈话(指听"谈话"的人心情激动)
「注」并不是所有-ed 形容词都表被动,有的-ed可能表示完成或其他意义:
fallen leaves 落叶,an escaped prisoner 逃犯,a learned professor 博学的教授,an aged man 老人。
neither…nor…的用法
neither…nor…,其意为"既不…也不…"、"…和…都不":
I have neither time nor money. 我既无时间又无钱。
I neither smoke nor drink. 我既不抽烟也不喝酒。
He neither knows nor cares what happened. 他对所发生的事不闻不问。
This is neither my fault nor yours. 这既不怪我,也不怪你。
「注」通常应连接两个相同性质的句子成分,但有时后一成分可能省略与前一成分相同的词。若连接两个成分作主语,其谓语通常与靠近的主语保持一致:Mary neither likes maths nor (likes) history. 玛丽既不喜欢数学也不喜欢历史。
Neither Jim and Jack was at home. 吉姆和杰克都不在家。
但在非正式文体中也可一律用复数:Neither Jim and Jack were at home. 吉姆和杰克都不在家。
have been to和have gone to的区别
两者均可后接地点,前者表示去过某地,通常可与表示次数的状语连用;后者表示到某地去了,强调说话的当时去某地的人不在场。如:
1. have been to 用例:
He has been to Paris three times. 他去过巴黎三次。 They have been to the zoo. 他们到动物园去了。
The children have gone to play in the park. 孩子们到公园玩耍去。
2. have gone to 用例:
He has gone to Paris. 他去巴黎了。 Everyone has gone home. 大家都回家去了。
He has gone to see her uncle. 他去看他叔了。She has gone to the cinema with her boyfriend. 她与男朋友看电影去了。
It seems that / as if ...用法举例辨析
此句型实质上是"主+系+表"结构。其中it是人称代词,并无实意,指的是某种情况,seems为系动词,that / as if 引导表语从句。
一、It seems that …表示"看起来……"。
强调根据一定的事实所得出的一种接近于实际情况的判断,可以说表示事实。(可以转换成"名词或代词 + seem +动词不定式"句型,其意不变,如果动词不定式为to be + 形容词时,to be往往省略。)
It seems that it is more difficult for women to get to the top of the company. 妇女似乎更难提升到公司的最高职位。
It seems that no one knows what has happened in the park. (No one seems to know what has happened in the park.) 似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。
It seems to me that he has known everything. (He seems to have known everything) 在我看来他似乎什么事都知道了。
It seems to me that Mr. White will not come again. 依我看,怀特先生不会再来了。
It seems that she is happy. 她似乎很高兴。
It seems that he likes his new job. 他看起来很喜欢他的新工作。
It seems that they don't like the idea. 他们似乎不喜欢这个主意。
It seems that he is lying.看来他在撒谎。
二、It seems as if ...也表示"看起来……,似乎……"。
使用该句型表示可能:若从句表示的是很可能实现的事情,从句谓语用陈述语气;若从句表示的是与事实相反的假设或实现的可能性很小的事情时,则从句谓语要用虚拟语气。
1、从句的谓语动词常用虚拟语气来表示所设想的事情不真实或不可能发生/存在。
It seems as if she had read this novel.看来她好像看过这本小说。
It seems as if it were autumn. 现在仿佛是秋天似的。
It seems as if it were spring already. 似乎春天已经来了。
It seems as if he knew everything. 好像他什么都知道似的。
It seems as if she had been to England. 好像她到过英国似的。
It seems as if they had never seen each other before. 仿佛他们以前从未见过面。
It seems as if he were in a dream.看来他像是在做梦。
It seemed as if the good man were trying to teach us all he knew at this last lesson.这个好心人仿佛要在最后这一堂课上把他的全部知识教给我们。
2、如果可能性很大则用陈述语气,或者句中的情况可能发生或可能被设想为真实,则仍然用陈述语气。
It seems as if our team is going to win.看来我们队要胜了。
It seems as if he has learned by heart a speech written by someone else.看来他像是背了一篇由别人写的演讲稿。
It seems as if he has been at the scene of the crime似乎他好像在犯罪现场。
It seems as if it is going to rain. (It seems to rain) 看来天要下雨了。
It seems that she is ill. 她似乎病了。
It seems that it is going to rain. 仿佛天要下雨。
It seems as if Ken will win the race. 看上去肯好像能赢。
It seems as if our team is going to win. 看来我们队要胜了。
3、as if还可用于其它动词之后或省略句中。
(as if引导的从句是"主语+系动词"结构,可省略主语和系动词,只剩下名词、不定式、形容词(短语)、介词短语或分词。)
She looks as if she were ten years younger. 她看起来好像年轻了十岁。
You look as if you didn't care. 你看上去好像并不在乎。
He talks as if he knew where she was. 他说话的样子,好像他知道她在哪里似的。
He talks about Rome as if he had been there before. 他说起罗马来好像他以前去过罗马似的。
The girl listened as if she had been turned to stone. 那女孩倾听着,一动也不动,像已经变成了石头似的。
He opened his mouth as if he would say something. 他张开嘴好像要说什么。

九、陷阱题分析
1. How beautifully she sings!I have never heard_____voice.
A. a better B. a best C. the better D. the best
「陷阱」容易误选 D,认为最高级前要用定冠词。
「分析」其实此题最佳答案为A.该句可视为 I have never heard a better voice than her voice 之省略,全句句意为"她唱得多好啊!我从未听过她这么好的声音"。
请再看以下类似的实例:He is fine,never better. 他很好,比以往任何时候都好。
This bird is really lovely. I've never seen a finer one. 这只鸟真可爱,我从未见过这样好看的鸟。
比较以下试题,情形也大致相同:
(1)"I've never found a better job." -----"______"
A. I don't think so B. Too bad C. Congratulations D. Don't worry
答案选 C.I've never found a better job 可视为 I've never found a better job than this job 之省略,句意为"我从来没有找到比这份工作更好的工作",即"这是我所找到的最好的工作"。
(2)"What do you think of the service here?" ----"Oh,______ . We couldn't have found a better place."
A. too bad B. sorryC. wonderful D. impossible
答案选C.We couldn't have found a better place 可视为 We couldn't have found a better place than this place,其意为"我们不可能找到一个比这儿更好的地方",即"这是我们所能找到的最好的地方"。
(3) Boris has brains. In fact, I doubt whether anyone in the class has______IQ. A. a highB. a higher C. the higher D. the highest
答案选B.句意为"……我怀疑班上有没有哪个人比他智商更高",即"我认为他可能是班上智商最高的"。
(4) How cold it is!
----We've never had______this winter.
A. the colder day B. a cold day C. the coldest dayD. a colder day
答案选D.句意为"今年冬天我们还从未遇上过这样冷的日子"。
2. Professor White has written some short stories,but he is______known for his plays.
A. the best B. moreC. better D. the most
「陷阱」容易误选 D.
学aadb点途点广c30c限学技上优4e9e网方点cfca2f8a件-公升法462e4feb13138041科有元688bf3562961径司是软东4f16法慧
「分析」此题首先不宜选 B 或 D,因为 well known 的比较级和最高级通常是better known 和 best known,有时也可以是more well known 和 most well known, 但通常不能是 more known 和 most known.至于是选 A 还是 C,这就要看语境。由于句中涉及的只有 stories 和 plays 两个对象,故应选比较级C答案。
3. You are______careful than your brother. You two can't do the work that needs care and skill.
A. not more B. no more C. not lessD. no less
「陷阱」容易误选 A.
「分析」要做对此题,首先要正确理解以下结构的含义:not more……than=不如……
no more……than=和……一样不(否定两者)
not less……than=不如……不(即指不如 less 后形容词的反面)
no less……than=和……一样(肯定两者)
比较以下各句的意思:You are more careful than he is. 你比他仔细。
You are not more careful than he is. 你不如他仔细。
You are no more careful than he is. 你和他一样不仔细。
You are less careful than he is. 你不如他仔细(你比他粗心)。
You are not less careful than he is. 你比他仔细(你不如他粗心)。
You are no less careful than he is. 你和他一样仔细。
通过以上分析,再结合句子语境,可知此题最佳答案为 B.
4."Oh, how fat he is!""But I think he ist______han fat."
A. shortB. shorter C. more shortD. shortest
「陷阱」容易误选 B.认为 short 为单音节形容词,故用-er 构成比较级。
「分析」其实正确答案应是C.要弄清此问题,得先从比较句型的两种不同类型说起。
(1)异类同质比较。即指两个不同的人或事物(异类)在同一方面(同质)进行比较。如:My room is smaller than yours. 我的房间比你的小。
Our country is more powerful than theirs. 我们的国家比他们的国家更强大。
(2) 同类异质比较。即指同一个人或事物(同类)在两个不同的方面(异质)进行比较,这类句子常译为"(更多的)是……,而不是" "与其……不如……"等。如:He was more lucky than clever. 他是靠运气而不是靠聪明。
She was more surprised than angry. 她感到更多的是惊讶而不是生气。
This is more a war movie than a western. 这更应当说是一部战争片,而不是西部片。
按英语习惯,在进行同类异质比较时,只能用more 构成比较级,不能用-er 形式,即使是单音节词也是如此。

「答案与解析」
1. B.it can't be worse 在此相当于 It's the worst thing I ever knew.
2. C.句意为"我的算术比琼差,但我的历史比她强"。注意句中的转折连词 but 及其后的 better.
3. A.We couldn't have picked a worst day 与 It is the worst day we've picked 同义。
4. A.a better 为 a better one 之省略。注意,a better one (一个更好的)是与前文"我知道这不是一个很适合的词"相呼应的。
5. A.若选 B 或 C 均不合事实;若选 D,不合语法,因为 few 后要接可数名词的复数形式。
6. B.从句意看,空格处应填比较级 bigger,因此排除A 和 C.选项 B 与 D 的区别是,一个用了不定冠词,一个用了定冠词,两者的区别是,不定冠词表泛指,定冠词表特指。
7. D.由于是将有考试与没有考试作比较,所以应用比较级,不用最高级,由此排除 A 和 C.选项 B 的错误在于用了 more happier 这样的双重比较级(即 more 后不能再加比较级)。
8. A.由关键词 No 可知,此处的意思是"不可能比这更差的(worse)了"。
9. C.more 不可修饰比较级,排除 B 和 D.greater……than others 表示的是最高级意义,故后面用最高级。
10. D.只有表示实际距离的远,才可用 farther(此时也可用 further),否则就用 further.further education 进修; late 迟的;later 后来;lately=recently 近来;latest 最新的。
11. C.still/even/much less 更不用说,更何况。
12. D."the+比较级,the+比较级"意为"越……就越……"。
13. C.两者比较用比较级,表示"比……";同级比较用 as……as 或 not as/so……as.句意为"那家商店的电脑将比这家商店的便宜,但不如这家商店的好。"
14. D.no better than =as badly as,意为"一样不好"。
15. A.此题考查比较级的用法。Mary 是想知道她比以往称起来重了多少,故用比较级。"how much+比较级"意为"比以前(重、高、远……)多少"。
16. A.本题关键是对not in the least 的理解,它的意思是"一点也不好",故可知道天气很糟糕。not 与比较级连用,事实上相当于一个最高级的用法。后句的意思是:一年之中再也碰不到比这更糟糕的天气了。
17. A.根据 How stupid!I fear there's no hope for him 可知说话人对 Jim 新工作表现的评价是负面的,故选 A.no better than 表示"与……一样的不好,与……一样的差"之意。句意是:他做新工作与以前工作一样差。他太笨了,我担心他没什么希望了。
18. A.I've never seen a finer one 的实际意思是 This is the finest one I've ever seen.
19. C.因为 more than 与形容词连用,意为"非常"。
20. B.从 Yes 可知,说话者对中国运动员的表现是持肯定态度的。couldn't……better 指好得不能再好,就是最好的意思。注意:这种 can 的否定式与比较级连用在听力里面也时常出现。
