1.本单元第49课对话中多次出现了“No,it's not him.”这个句子。

【问】这个句子中的him为什么不用he呢?

【答】人称代词作表语,在非正式英语中(特别是日常会话中)人们已习惯于用其宾格(如me,him等),这种用法很常见。如:-Who is knocking at the door?谁在敲门?-It's me.是我。-Who said that?是谁说的?-I think it was him.我想是他说的。

2.Such was Albert Einstein,a simple man and the 20th century's greatest scientist.爱因斯坦就是这样的人,一个纯朴的人,一位20世纪最伟大的科学家。

【问】请解释句中such的意思和用法。

【答】句中such是代词,用以指代前文所说的情况,意为“这样的人(事)”,它在该句中作表语,such作表语时通常提到句首,形成主谓倒装结构,其谓语动词的数应由such指代的情况而定。如:鶶uch is life.人生就是这样。鶶uch were his words.这就是他讲的话。

3.As a result,it appeared to scientists on earth that the stars had moved.因此,在地球上的科学家看来,恒星好像是移动了。

【问】appear作“好像,似乎”解时,有哪些用法呢?

【答】appear作“好像,似乎”解时,常指人从外表上所得到的印象。有时暗含实质上并非如此的意思,作此意解时,其后可跟不定式、形容词或that从句,接从句时常用it作形式主语,而把真正的主语放到句子后面去。例如:鶫e appears to have many friends.他似乎有很多朋友。鶺hy does she appear so sad?她为何显得如此悲伤?鶬t appears that he won't come tonight.看来他今晚不会来了。鶬t appears to me that they are right.我似乎觉得他们是正确的。

4.教材:That fits the puzzle!

考点:fit的用法。

考例:This straw hat ____ me.(MET'83)

A.doesn't fit for B.isn't fit鶦.doesn't fit D.fits to

透视:此题答案为C。fit表示“合适”,既可作形容词,也可作动词。如果作动词,通常表示衣、帽、鞋等物的大些⒊叽纭⑿巫吹确矫娴摹昂鲜省薄H纾篢his jacket fits you well.你穿这茄克衫很合适。如作形容词,通常用于be fit for /to do结构中。如:He is fit for a doctor /to be a doctor.他适合当医生。

延伸:与suit的区别。suit也表示“适合”之意,但它常用来指衣着、款式、颜色等方面的“合适”或“中……之意”。如:鶷hat color doesn't suit her。那种颜色不适合她。

再看下题:-This jacket doesn't ____ me.Do you have a larger size?

-Yes,but the color is different.Does it _______ you?鶤.fit;suit B.suit;fit C.fit;fit D.suit;suit(答案:A)

5.教材:Besides his work in physics,he spent a lot of time...

考点:besides /except /except for /except that的区别。

考例1:Does John know any other foreign language ____ French?(MET'89)

A.except B.but C.besides D.beside

透视:except表示“除了……之外”(不包括在内),相当于but,常与any,no one,nobody,everything,everyone,nowhere等表整体概念的词连用,从这个整体范围中除去不适应的一部分。如:Allexcept Li Ming have seen the film.而besides表示“除了……之外”(尚有)之意,暗示词有other,more,else等。很明显上题答案应为C。

考例2:The suit fitted him well ____ the color was a little bright.(2000年上海

A.except for B.except that鶦.except when D.besides透视:except for +名词/except that +从句表示引述一个相反的细节或原因,因而部分地修正了句子的主要意思,常译成“只不过”。上题答案为B。句意为:那套西服很合他的身,只不过颜色有点亮。

延伸:①except虽然相当于but,但exceptfor≠but for。but for意为“要不是”。如:鶥ut for me,he would have died yesterday.②except和but虽为介词,后常接动名词或名词。但在下面的句型中接不定式:have no choice but /except to do(不得不……)。如:Then it has no choice but to lie down.
