(be / stand / lie ) far (away) from… eg.

1 ） . Do you live far away from our school?

2 ） . Some of us come from far away to attend

this school .

除这个短语之外， 我们还要注意 a city not far from Beijing 在句中是作 Shijiazhuang 这个词的同位语的。他们所指的是同一个事物。

作同位语的几种形式：1.My deskmate Tom is a nice guy. ( Tom 这个名词，作 deskmate 的同位语）2. My job ， to teach English ， is amazing . (to teach English 是 job 的同位语 )3. They all / both enjoy reading a lot . 4. The news that we won 47 gold medals excited u

s a lot .5. His suggestion that more measures should be ta

ken to protect the earth from further pollution proves (to be) true .

6.There is no doubt that we’ll make it if we don’t stop struggling .

7.The teacher wants to have a talk with you two.

2. write down…= set down… 写下… 记下 ...

3. Every room has a computer with a special screen , almost as big as a cinema screen.

同级比较句型： 1 ） . 若表示双方的程度一样时，用 as + adj / adv( 原级 ) + as … 结构 eg. Our school is as good as Li Kang’s.

He is as handsome as his father.

He works as hard as his classmates.

2). 若表示双方的程度不同时， 用 not … so / as + adj / adv + as… 结构 eg. I’m not so tall as most of you.

I’m not as tall as most of you.

We can’t speak English as fluently as the natives .

3). 倍数表达三结构：A: 倍数 + as + adj / adv （原形） + as… 翻译下面的例句： 1. 这个高中是我以前初中的两倍大。 2. 我们班的女生是男生的三倍。 3. 我们将不得不学习过去三年所学单词的 三倍多。 size lengthB: 倍数 +the depth + of… weight height

eg.

1. The earth is 49 times the size of the moon.

2. The passage is 3 times the length of the one

we learned yesterday.

C: 倍数 + adj / adv ( 比较级 ) + than…

eg.

1. Draw a line 3 times longer than that one .

2. He has mastered twice more words than

she has .

4. … a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen.

关系？ 巩固练习： 1 ） .I’d like to borrow a book ___ by JK.Rowling. （写） I’d like to borrow a book _____ by JK.Rowling. （用定语从句完成第二个句子） 2 ） .The words __ on the computer appear on the scree

n. （写） The words ____on the computer appear on the screen. （用定语从句完成第二个句子） 3 ） . He is the lady ___ （命名） Shen. He is the lady _____ Shen. （用定语从句完成 第二个句子）

ch. The notes ___ （记） in class will help us much.6 ） . The girl ___ （介绍） to us looks friendly. The girl _____ （介绍） to us looks friendly.

结论： 若动词短语与所修饰的名词之间存在被动关系时， 动

词需要用过去分词的形式，且放在名词的后面，作名词的定语。定语部分还可以用定语从句的形式来代替。

5.Her teaching method is nothing like that of the teachers at my

Junior High school . 1 ） . be / look nothing like… not at all like / totally different from … 根本不像… 完全不像 …eg. Though they’re twins ， he looks nothing like his twin brother. mine.2 ） . not at all ， not nearly 根本没有… 完全不… eg. I had nothing like enough money to pay for a bicycle. She had nothing like enough courage to say “no”.

that 常用来代替前面提到过的抽象名词， 如：人口，故土面积， 天气，方法，风

格等。 eg.

1 ） The weather here is hotter than that of

Shandong province.

2 ） The population of China is much

larger than that of any other country

on earth.

3 ） Ms Shen’s teaching mothod / style is

different from that of my former

et-together. 2). “ What fun ! ” she said with a laugh. 3). It’s not fun going to a party alone . 4). What do you think of a trip to the countrysi

de? Sounds like fun !

关于 fun 的惯用表达法：1 ） . Have fun ! Enjoy yourself! 尽情玩儿吧！2 ） do… for fun. 为好玩而做… do … just for the fun of it .eg. I attend the dancing class just for the fun of it . 3 ） make fun of sb/sth .eg. Never make fun of disabled people .偶尔， fun 也作形容词，例如： we do this in a fun way. She’s really fun to be with.

7. I don’t think I will be bored in …

这个句子中， 我们要注意两点： A : 否定前移： think / believe / suppose / expect 等词后面的

宾语从句如果是否定句， 要将 not 提前，形成对这些词的否定。

eg. We don’t think you’re wrong.

I can’t believe he passed the test easily..

若是反意问句，要注意： eg. 1).I don’t believe they have finished their work ， ______________ ? 2). You don’t suppose I’ve ever made many silly mistakes ， ___________ ? 3). They didn’t expect we had won 47 medals ， _____________ ? 4). We don’t think you made it by yourself ， _______________ ?

结论 :主句主语是第一人称时，反意问句部分决于从句；主句主语是第二，三人称时，反意问句部分决于主句。

do you

B : be / feel / get / become bored .
