二、考点精析与拓展
1. search;search for; look for
(1)search指“搜查某地或搜身”，其宾语可以是房屋、人身、衣袋等名词。如：
They searched their homes without any reason.他们毫无理由地搜查了他们的家。
They searched him but found nothing.他们搜了他的身，但没有找到什么。
(2)search for 则指“搜寻、搜索某人或物”。如：
They searched for him everywhere.他们到处搜寻他。
The police searched the wood for the lost child.警察在树林里寻找走失的孩子。
试比较：They searched his clothes.他们搜查了他的衣服。（看是否藏有东西）
They searched for his clothes.他们在搜寻他的衣服。（要找到衣服）
另外，search也可用做名词，in search of “寻找、寻求”是个常见短语。如：
The boys went in search of something to eat.孩子们去找东西吃。
(3)look for意为“寻找”，同search for意义大体相同。但search for 意味较强，用很大注意力搜寻。而look for则较为通俗，常用于日常用语。如:
I looked for my missing pen everywhere.我到处找我丢失的那支笔。
2. be certain…; be sure
be uncertain about意思是“对……不确定（没把握）”
uncertain的词根是certain,意思是“确信的，有把握的”，常用于以下结构：
(1)be certain(sure) to do sth.“肯定会做……”（表示某事将要发生）。如：
He is certain(sure) to come next Sunday.
(2)be certain(sure) of/ about sth.“确信、有把握”（表示某个人的思想状态）。如：
We are certain/ sure of victory.
(3)名词从句作主语时，一般多用certain.
It is certain that he will come.
3. “喜欢”的表示方法
英语中，表示“喜欢”的动词或词组有若干个，它们的语气强弱不同，有重有轻，意思也不完全一样，下面分别举例说明：
(1)love 意为“热爱”，指引起深厚的、强烈的感情的爱，并有一种依附意，语气最重。如：
His mother,whom he loved deeply,died when he was only a small boy.他深深爱戴着他的母亲，当他小的时候，她与世长辞了。
I love doing comedies .我喜欢演喜剧。
(2)be fond of 表示“喜欢” “热爱”，也表示对某人或某事有感情，语气次于“love”。如：
Ants are fond of sweet food.蚂蚁喜欢吃甜食。
I’m fond of this child.我喜欢这个小孩。
(3)care for意为“喜欢、对……有兴趣”。如：
The girl cares much for new clothes.这个女孩很喜欢新衣服。
They do not care very greatly for art.他们对艺术不是很感兴趣。
(4)like意为“喜欢”，指不反感，但不引起强烈的感情和迫切的愿意，反义词为dislike.如：
Do you like reading?你喜欢阅读吗？
I like to read in bed.我喜欢在床上看书。
(5)enjoy意为“欣赏”“喜欢”，具有满足感，如：
I enjoy foreign music.我喜欢外国音乐。
Most students enjoy asking questions in English.大部分学生喜欢用英语问问题。
(6)go in for“喜欢（做某类事）、有某种习惯或做法”。如：
What sports do you go in for?你喜欢哪些体育运动？
We don’t go in for that sort of thing.我们不喜欢那种事情。
4. 用不定式或动名词意义不同
(1) 有些动词+动词不定式或动名词，意思上没有区别。如：begin,start,like,love,prefer,hate,continue等。
Do you like playing(to play) chess?你喜欢下棋吗？
I prefer making(to make) an outline before I make a speech.我喜欢讲话之前先拟一个提纲。
但有时这些动词后用动名词表示一般倾向，用不定式表示特定的一次动作。如：
I like reading novels, but don’t like to read this novel.我喜欢看小说，但不喜欢看这一本小说。
(2)有些动词后 + 动词不定式或动名词意义不同。
①remember to do something记住做某事（动作未发生）
remember doing something记得做过某事（动作已发生），如：
I must remember to close the window when I have the room.我必须记住在我离开房间时把窗户关上。
I remember closing the window when I left the room.我记得离开房间时我已关上了窗户。
②forget to do something忘记做某事
forget doing something已做过某事但忘记了，如：
Don’t forget to turn off the light.不要忘了关灯。

③regret to do something对要做的事感到遗憾
regret doing something对做过的事后悔，如：
I regret to tell you that you failed in the exam.我遗憾地告诉你考试没有及格。

④try to do sth.尽力/设法做某事

⑤mean to do something打算做某事
mean doing something意味着，如：
What do you mean to do with it?你打算怎样对付它呢？
My words don’t mean hurting you.我的话并不意味着伤害你。
⑥stop to do something停下原来做的事，开始做另一件事
stop doing something停止正在做的事，如：
He stopped to talk with the teacher.他停下来和老师谈话。
He stopped talking with the teacher.他停止了和老师的谈话。
⑦go on to do something做完某事改做其他事（或在做某事过程中停了一段时间后继续做该事）
go on doing something继续做一直做的事（中间未停顿），如：
He went on to show us how to do it in a different way.他接着又教我们用另一种方法做这件事。
He went on talking as if nothing had happened.他若无其事地继续讲下去。
⑧can’t help(to)do something不能帮助做某事。
Can’t help doing something禁不住要做某事，如：
I couldn’t help(to)finish your homework.我不能帮你完成作业。
When the mother saw her lost son, she couldn’t help crying.当母亲看到她失而复得的儿子时，情不自禁地哭起来。
⑨另，consider sb.to be/to have done把……看做；认为，consider后为不定式的，复合结构时，to be可省略。
consider doing something考虑做某事，如：
We consider Lincoln(to be) a great man.我们都认为林肯是个伟人。
I consider him to have passed the exam. 我认为他已通过考试。
⑩另，be afraid to do something不敢做某事
be afraid of doing something害怕做某事，如：
They are afraid to tell me the truth.他们不敢告诉我真相。
The students are afraid of breaking glass.学生们害怕打碎杯子。
5. as;which引导定语从句异同
as, which 都能引导限制性或非限制性的定语从句。
(1)在引导限制性定语从句时；
①which从句修饰的先行词是名词（词组），which可与that换用，作宾语时可省去。如：
Then grow some tomatoes in one box which has plant food in the soil and some in another box which doesn’t.
But the studios(which)he started are still busy today,producing
more and more interesting films.
②as从句的先行词是the same/such或被the same/such修饰；as可作主、宾、表语，一律不可省略。如：
Many of the sports were the same as they are now.（as作表语）
He uses the same map as I (use).他和我用的是同一份地图。（as作宾语）
Such as beautiful park as is being built was designed by two young engineers.正在建造的如此漂亮的公园是由两个年轻的工程师设计的。（as作主语）
The printed newspaper was not such as the chief editor had expected. 印好的报纸并非如主编原来所期望的那样。（as作宾语）
(2)在引导非限制性定语从句时，as,which都可作主、宾、表语，都不可省去。
①which从句补充说明先行词的用途、性质、状态、特征等。如：
At present,the biggest nature park for milu deer in China is in the Nanhaizi Milu Park,which is about 20 kilometres south of Beijing.(位置)
China Daily has plenty of advertisements, which help to cut
the costs of making the newspaper.(用途)
One of Charile Chaplin’s most famous films was“The Gold Rush”,which was made in 1925.(时间)
Now, however,the maters of this great lake,which is also the
World’s deepest(over 1,740 metres),have been dirtied by waste
from a chemical factory.(特征)
②which从句还可表示说话人的看法，也可对主句作意义上的补充；which=and it/ this/ that/ they;which代表的是先行词、主句或主句的一部分；which从句只能放在先行词或主句后。如：
He said she could speak 4 foreign languages, which(=and it)is not true.他说她会四门外语，这是不可能的。（说话人看法，which代表宾语从句部分）
比较：He said she could speak 4 foreign languages, which(=and that)surprised every one of us.他说她会四门外语，这使我们每个人都很惊讶。（补充主句，which 代表主句）
③as也可代表先行词、主句或主句一部分。但as有“正如”的意义，其从句可放在主句前或后，如：
The Nanjing Changjiang River Bridge,as we all know, was compl-
eted in 1969.我们都知道南京长江大桥，它建成于一九六九年。（as代表先行词）
To shut your eyes to facts, as many of you do, is foolish.(如)你们许多人（所做的那样）对事实视而不见是愚蠢的。（as代表主语部分）
6. would like; should like
(1)两个短语均指“想要……”，与want同义，但would(should)like的语气较want婉转或客气。
(2)would like 可用于各种人称；而should like则主要用于第一人称。例如：
He would(不用should)like to be a doctor.他希望当大夫。
We would(不用should)like to hear your views about it.我们想听听你对这个问题的看法。
(3)在疑问句中常用would like,而不用should like。例如：
What would you like for breakfast?你早饭想吃什么？
(4)这两个短语常常简略为’d like,后面可接名词、代词或动词不定式，不接动名词。例如：
Would you like to leave a message?你要不要留话？
误：Would you like leaving a message?
(5)在省略回答中，would like to 中的to 不可省略，只省略to后面的词语（但be 除外）。例如：
①—Would you like to join us tonigh?
—Oh, I’d like to (join you),but I have a friend to see off at the station.
② —Would you like to be a singer?
—Yes,I’d like to be (a singer).
7. shape;form; figure
这组名词都有“形状”的意思。
shape 着重指人或物等的比较具体的整个外形，不太正式；form指有实体结构和看得见的某种特殊形状或是抽象的形式；figure指物时，侧重指轮廊，指人时，着重指姿态。如：
Coins may be of different sizes,weights, shapes, and of diff-
erent metals. 硬币可能大小、轻重、形状不同，铸造的金属也可能不一样。
The shape of Italy is like a leg.意大利国的形状像一条腿。
Change these sentences into the Present Perfect Passive,putting the verbs into the correct forms.用动词的正确形式将下面的句子变成现在完成时的被动语态 。
Ice,snow and steam are forms of water.冰、雪、蒸气是水的几种形态。
You can see the tall stone figures and visit the temples of the gods.你可以看到那些高大的石雕像，参观那些神殿。
这组名词也可当动词用，shape意为“使什么东西具有某种具体的外
形”，常有“塑造”等具体意义；form指通过协商、组织等形成某种习惯、计划或组织等，一般相当于“形成”;figure通常指象征某事物。
8.be of…结构小结
(1)be of + 表示年龄（age）、大小（size）、颜色（color）、重量（weight）、高度（height）、价格（price）、意见（opinion）、形状（shape）、种类（kind）和方法（way）等名词，说明主语的特征，of表示“具有”之意，有时可省去。例如：
They are both of middle height.他俩都是中等个儿。
When I was of your age, I was a teacher.当我是你这个年龄时，我当老师了。
These flowers are of different colors.这些花朵颜色不同。
Tom is of a different way of thinking.汤姆的思维方式与别人不同。
注意：此结构中，如果of后面的名词前有不定冠词a/an，则a/an=the same.例如：
The two boys are of an/the same age.这两个男孩同龄。
These bottles are of a/the same size.这些瓶子大小一样。
(2)be of + 物质名词，表示主语是由某材料制成或某成分构成，相当于be made of, be built of或be made up of等。例如：
The necklace is(made)of glass.这项链是玻璃制的。
The bridge is (built)of stone.这桥是由石头构筑的。
Our class is (made up)of over 50 students. 我班有50多个学生。
(3)be of + 抽象名词（如value, importance,use, help等），of表示“具有、具备”等意思，of不能省，这一结构相当于be+该抽象名词相应的形容词。例如：
They are of great help/ very helpful to learners of English.他们对英语学习者来说是很有帮助的。
In fact, sports and games can be of great value/very valuable.事实上体育运动是很有价值的。
The book is of no use/useless to us.这书对我们无用。
It is of great importance/very important to study English.学习英语很重要。
因此，根据上述(1),(2)点可以看出，课文句中第一个be of 结构表示“具有”，第二个be of(承前省去be)表示“由……制成的”。全句汉语意思为：“硬币的大小、重量、形状可能各不相同，并由不同的金属制成。”
9. whatever用法小结
whatever 是一种用法较特殊的代词，兼有连接词和关系词的作用，主要有以下三种用法：
(1)引导主语从句和宾语从句，意思是“凡是……的事物(=anything that)”.
Whatever I have is yours.我所有的东西就是你的。(主语从句)
Go to stamp sales and buy whatever you can afford.到邮票销售处去把你能买得起的邮票都买下来。（宾语从句）
She would tell him whatever news she got.她会把所听到的任何消息都告诉他。（宾语从句）
Talk to me about whatever is troubling you.把任何使你烦恼的事都对我谈谈。（介词宾语从句）
whatever在这类从句中可作主语、宾语、定语等。
(2)引导状语从句，多表示让步，意思是“不管什么、无论怎样”。如：
Don’t change your plans, whatever happens.无论怎样，你都别改变计划。
Whatever I am, it’s useful to know foreign languages.无论我做什么工作，懂外语总是有用的。
So don’t lose heart, whatever you do。因此无论你做什么，都不要丧失信心。
Whatever the old man was like, most of his scientific work was sound.无论那位老人怎么样，他大部分的科研工作是好的。
You have to go on,whatever difficulties you meet.无论你遇到什么困难，你都必须干下去。
Whatever在这类从句中可作主语、表语、宾语、介词宾语、定语等。
这类句中的某些成分还可以省略。如：
The country is always beautiful whatever the season(is).无论哪个季节，这个国家总是很美。
10.感叹句表达方式
感叹句表示说话时的惊讶、喜悦、赞赏和愤怒等情绪。大多数感叹句是由what和how引导，其句型结构为“What(或How)+感叹部分+主语+谓语！”。也有少量其他形式的感叹句，现一并归纳如下：
(1)What 引导的感叹句
What 用做定语，修饰名词，其引导的感叹句句型结构为：
①What+a(an)+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！如：
What an orphan he is!他是个多么可怜的孤儿啊！
②What+a (an)+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！如：
What a beautiful voice she has!她的声音多美啊！
③What+形容词+可数名词复数+主语+谓语！如：
What kind doctors they are!他们是多好的医生啊！
④What+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语！如：
What good news it is!
(2)How 引起的感叹句
How 用做状语，修饰形容词、副词和动词，其引导的感叹句句型结构为：
①How+形容词+主语+谓语！
How clever you are!
②How+副词+主语+谓语！
How well she dances!
③How +形容词+a(an)+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！如：
How good a student he is!
④How+主语+谓语！如：
How the teachers worked!教师们工作多么努力啊！
⑤How+many(few)+可数名词的复数+主语+谓语！如：
How many books you have read!
⑥How much(little)+不可数名词+主语+谓语！如：
How little money the coat cost!
(3)“What+a(an)+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！”句型可转换为“How+形容词+a(an)+可数名词单数+主语+谓语！”句型。如；
What a clever boy he is!
How clever a boy he is!
(4)感叹句常将主语和谓语动词省略，以“What+名词！”或“How+形容词！”的形式构成。如：
What a fine student!
What mountains!
How wonderful!
How brave!
(5)其他形式的感叹句
有时候，可不用what和how来表示感叹，而用陈述句、疑问句、祈使句，甚至一个词或词组来表示感叹。如：
She is such a nice girl!她是一个多好的姑娘啊！（陈述句）
Who do you think you are!你算老几！（疑问句）
“Stop the train! Stop the train!”(祈使句)
Wonderful!(一个词)
Happy New Year!(词组)
三、精典名题导解
题1 （NMET 1995）
When a pencil is partly in a glass of water, it looks as if it _______.
A. breaks B. has broken C. were broken D. had been broken
分析：C。因句意表达的是“铅笔部分放于水中”所出现的状态，即“看上去像折掉了一样”，所以空白处应用虚拟语气。
题2 （NMET 1997）
The two strangers talked as if they _______ friends for years.
A. should be B. would be C. have been D. had been
分析：D。从talked一词可知是过去情况的虚拟形式。
题3 The sun is the centre of the universe, __________ we all know.
A. for B. as C. that D. what
分析：B。as可以引导非限制性定语从句，经常与know连用，as代替前面一句话，即，先行词是一句话。
题4 He paid the boy washing ten windows, most of _________ hadn’t been cleaned for at least a year.
A. these B. those C. that D. which
分析：D。从句中的逗号可以判断，横线上缺少一个关系代词引导定语从句，that不能作介词宾语。
题5 （NMET 2000）
These wild flowers are so special that I would do__________I can to save them.
A. whatever B. that C. which D. whichever
分析：A。句中I can后省略了do.即应为I can do to save them, do后没有宾语，所以应用whatever,意为“任何事情、不论什么”。
题6 (上海 2002)
There’s a feeling in me_________We’ll never know what a UFO is—not ever.
A. that B. which C. of which D. what
分析：A。that的先行词是a feeling in me ,是一个定语从句。
题7 It’s no use _______the small matters again.
A. discuss about B. to discuss
C. discussing D. having a discussion
分析：C。It’s not use doing sth…做某事没有用。
题8 Very few can_______ the difference between the two words.
A. speak B. say C. tell D. talk
分析：C。四个选项在词意上有区别。speak(讲)和say(说)均为不及物动词；tell(告诉)为及物动词；talk(谈话)为不及物动词。tell和can或can’t 连用，表示“分辨”。

阅读下短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中选出一个最佳选项。
All kinds of people come in to have their shoes shined. Most folks are friendly. But this man was different.
“How much do you make a week, boy?” he asked me. I felt he was 36 at me.
He kept giving a sharp 37 around every now and then. All the time I kept 38 where I\'d seen his face. Suddenly I knew. I’d seen his 39 in the post many times. He was the big robber: 40 by the police in three states!
“You know,”he was saying, “it\'s imagination people lack. You\'ll never get 41 as a shoeshine boy. ”
I kept brushing away on his shoes as 42 as I could. The sooner I finished, the better. He said, “When I was sixteen, I had 43 $ 2,500 of my own. ”
That reminded me of something. Was it $ 2,500 or $ 5,000 or $ 25,000? I wasn\'t
44 . I knew a big reward was 45 for him.
But what could I do about it? 46 him with a can of shoe polish? A man his 47 could grind (碾碎) me into the floor. If only someone would come in !
He kept talking away. “Along with 48 , it takes courage. The courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoestring. ”

Japanese people, who never miss a chance to be photographed, were lining up to get their pictures on a postage stamp. Vanity (虚荣) stamps with personal photographs went on sale for the first time in Japan as part of an international postage stamp exhibition. The customer’s photo is taken with a digital camera and then printed on stamp sheets, a process that takes about five minutes. Sold in a sheet of 10 stamps for $ 8.80, little more than the cost of lunch in Tokyo, each stamp printed a different scene from a traditional painting along with the photo.
The stamps can be used normally to mail a letter, and postal officials hope they will help encourage interest in letter-writing in the Internet age. “Certainly e-mail is a useful method of communication, but letters are fun in a different way, “said Hatsumi Shimizu, an official in the Post Ministry. “We want to show young people that letters can be fun too. “
While similar stamp sheets appeared in Australia in 1999 and are now sold in some 12 nations and territories, Japan’s fondness for commemorative photos is likely to make them especially popular here. Indeed, officials had prepared 1,000 sheets but they were sold out in less than 30 minutes. Although the stamps are currently only available as a special service during the exhibition, postal a regular basis in the future.

Women work harder than men at university and get better degrees as a result, according to a study carried out at Burnel University.
The research, which tracked 200 students over four years, found that women consistently outperformed men in further education even though they had started their courses with almost the same A-level results.
An analysis of the department% results showed that while 65 per cent of female graduates were awarded, only 35 per cent of males did that well.
Girls are known to outperform boys at school, but this research shows the trend continues at university.
Fiona Smith, the senior lecturer at Brunel who led the study, said: “The survey proved a previously held opinion that the educational sex gap is purely a middle wrong school phenomenon. ”
It also makes the unfairness for working women in terms of pay. Women work. harder at school, harder at university and do better in both, yet still receive less pay.
The survey found that female students were harder working, less likely to miss lectures and more likely to believe their marks reflected their ability than their male competitors. Female students were also more likely to seek and receive support from teachers.
On the contrary, men were more likely than women to miss lectures due to
“laziness” and to believe that playing sport was an important part of university life.
Different from the popular argument that women\'s success is due to the increased emphasis on coursework, female geographers at Brunel did better in exams than in coursework, the research found.
The study, based on 180 questionnaires and interviews with more than 70 students, concluded that males underachieved because they felt working hard was not “macho”.
Dr Smith said: \"Most women feel that getting good grades is the most important part of university life. They believe they need to work harder in order to be able to compete in the male-controlled environment they will face at work: good grades are viewed as an “insurance policy” for success. Men, on the other hand, feel that it\'s not “macho” to work hard. They tend to put going out and playing sport higher than
coursework.

When the world was a simpler place, the rich were fat, the poor were thin, and right-thinking people worried about how to feed the hungry. Now, in much of the world, the rich are thin, the poor are fat, and right-thinking people are worrying about fatness.
Evolution (进化) is mostly to blame. It has designed mankind to deal with lack, not plenty. People are perfectly fit to store energy in good years to see them through lean ones. But when bad times never come, they are stuck with that energy, stored around their expanding bellies (腹部).
Thanks to rising agricultural productivity, lean years are rarer all over the globe. According to the UN, the number of people short of food fell from&n
