【语言点汇总】

语言点：

1，a writer and lecturer 是指一个人，因此lecturer前不加冠词a

如：Jay chuo, a singer and actor, is very popular among young people.

既是歌手又是演员的周杰伦很受年轻人的欢迎。

2, thanks for 幸亏，由于

thank(sb)for sth. 因某事而感激(某人)

其他同义词组有：be thankful to sb. for sth/be grately to sb. for sth./show an appreciation of sth.等。比较：thanks to 意为“幸亏，由于”，相对于because of.

如：A, Thanks so much for looking after my children.非常感谢你照顾我的孩子们。

B, Thanks for your timely help, we managed to finish the task successfully.

幸亏有你及时帮助，我们才成功地完成了任务。

3，it’s up to sb. (to do sth.)应由某人负责/决定做某事

如A, An Indian or a Chinese meal? It’s up to you.

吃印度菜还是中国菜？由你决定。

B, It’s up to us to help those in need.我们有责任帮助那些有困难的人。

C, John’s father said to him that it was up to himself to decide the date for his tenth birthday party.约翰的父亲对他说，由他自己来确定他十岁生日聚会的日期。

4，regardless of意为“不顾，不管”。

如：A, He repeated the same experiment regrdless of several failures.

尽管已失败过多次，他仍然重复做着这个试验。

B, Regardless of his father’s objections, he went to play football.

他不顾父亲的反对，还是去踢足球了。

5, too much emphasis on sth. 意为：“过于强调或重视某事”。

常用词组：put/lay/place emphasis on sth强调或重视某事

如：Some schools put lay/place emphasis on language study.

有些学校非常重视语言学习。

6, seldom是含有否定意义的副词。seldom和其他含有否定意义的副词，如 little, never,, rarely, hardly等，位于句首时，引起部分倒装。

如：Rarely did he realize how much he cared about money and fame.

他几乎没有意识到自己的多么在乎名利。

7, happen to do---意为“碰巧---”

如：I happened to be out for a walk when she called me last night.

8, ridiculous adj. 荒谬的，可笑的

如：A, Who made this ridiculous rule? 这条荒唐的规则是谁定的？

B, That fat woman looked ridiculous in her tight golden dress.

那位胖妇人穿着金色的紧身礼服，显得滑稽可笑。

9，endure v. 忍受，容忍

词组： endure to do/ doing 忍受做某事

词义辨析：endure/ stand/ bear/ tolerate

endure语气强，属于正式用语，突出折磨或不愉快的长期性。

stand属非正式用语。用在多用语口语，与bear大致相同，常以否定形式出现，如用在肯定句则用bear,显示“不屈不饶”或“经受得起”。

tolerate语气最弱，所容忍的对象一般并不直接给主语带来痛苦。

如：A, They have endured many hardships. 他们忍受了许多艰难困苦。

B, I can’t bear/stand the heat. 太热了，我真受不了。

C, We shouldn’t tolerate such obvious violations of discipline.

我们不应该容忍这种明显破坏纪律的行为。

10, free to do something 意为“随心所欲(做某事)”。

如：Nowadays in most universities students are free to choose their favourite courses.

现在大多数大学中的学生可以自由地选择他们所喜爱的课程。

11, as if意为“好像”，在look, seem等系动词后引导表语从句。句中划线部分中as if引导的表语从句用的是虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反。

如：He talks as if he knew where she had gone.他说话的样子好像知道她去哪里了。

12, 句型：“There is no point in doing---做---是没有意义的”

如：There is no point in reasoning with him about such things.

和他理论这样的事情是没用的。

13, Judge---from/by---根据---来判断---

如：A, Don’t judge a book by its cover. 不要从封面来判断一本书的好坏。

B, Judging by his strange behaviour, he was greatly shocked by this news.

从他奇怪的行为来看，这个消息对他们打击很大。

14, issues n. 争端，问题，版次，发行

最近一期的《时代周刊》在城市的各个地方都能买到。

B, The people all over the world are fixing their eyes on the country’s nuclear issue. 全世界人的目光都集中在这个国家的核问题上。

如; A, The new regulations will be of great benefit to us all.

新的规章制度对我们大家都会有好处.

B,The public facilities have benefited the whole town.

这些公共设施使全镇人都受益.

C, Who is most likely to benefit by the new tax law?

如: They keep us supplied with what we need.

他们不断地供应我们所需要的东西.

17, It is suggested that---其中it是形式主语, 真正的主语是that引导的从句, 从句的谓语动词形式为 “ should+ 动词原形” , 否定形式为 “ should not +动词原形”, 其中should 可以省略.

如: It is suggested that he ( should) notfollow a career like his faher’s.

重要的不是你得到了什么而是你付出了什么.

20, to sum up总之, 简言之

如: To sum up, nothing can hold him back once he has made up his mind.

The majority of the world’s population live in cities. Their activities have a large environmental impact.It’s estimated that urban aeras are responsible for 75 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it stands to reason that it’s in cities where solutions to improving people’s relationship with the planet should found.

As the list of megacities grows and more and more people move intoo cities, maybe every city should prioritize three issues: mobility, sustainability and socio-diverisity.

When planners are working on mobility issues, cities usually take priority over cars. Although cars have been in production for only a little more than a century, the space they have seized is extremely large. Cars are the cigarettes of the future.

Our priority in improving urban mobility should be to provide reliable and easy-to-use public transportation. Every mode (subway, bus, taxi, bike, etc.) has to operate ideally and be integrated into a transit network. Car shares and bike shares may also have their role.

When addressing sustainability problems, the key is to avoid wasting energy, time and resources. Some simple ways to get started are within everyone’s reach: Use our cars less and recycle old stuff.

In addition, a city’s layout can make a big difference. A healthy city is an integrated structure of life, work and movement. It requires a design that respects the area’s ecosystem. Fragmenting cities into areas with specialized functions, in contract, makes these spaces and their infrastructure idle during long periods of the day or ‘night.

When we’re working on issues arising from diversity, it’s important to remember that cities must offer hope, not desperation. Cities have long been seen as “melting pots”. A sense of shared identity and the feeling of belonging to a specific place improves the quality of life. A city must provide reference points to which people can relate__rivers, parks, public buildings.

A city’s design must be a collective construct, a shared dream. A city is a setting for people to meet. We must shape its future together. (334字)

One Possible Version:(参考)

With the growing population in cities, three issues should be focused on, namely transportation, long-term development and being diverse. More public transportation except cars should be developed. The key to sustainable developnent is saving energy. People’s sense of belonging to their hometown will be helpful to improve life standard All the above contribute to a sound development of cities.

One Possible Version:(参考)

Should Students Play Jokes On Each Other?

Our students spend a lot of our time in school. So it is important to get along with our classmates. Some naughty students always play tricks on others. But I don’t think it is very good to play tricks on people.

On one hand, some people are easy-going, so when we have a trick on them, they never get angry, but sometimes it might really hurt their pride and make them feel embarrassed, they can not stand being fooled in public, which might sometimes cause serious conflicts and terrible consequences.

Therefore, in order to develop good relationship between classmates, we’d better not play tricks on others in order not to hurt their self-esteem.

I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!

One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone!I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous.

Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year”, Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.

The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs, “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.

From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home, downstairs. My sacks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

Every person has a great deal of love to give. There are many different ways to love someone (or even yourself). Here is a general guide to loving.

Say it. When you say the words “I Love You”, make sure you really mean it, and are willing to do anything for that special person.

___54___ If you love someone, you should understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realise how they could also love you back just as well.

Love unconditionally. Giving unconditional love requires you to love without any expectations. __55___

It seems difficult to only love and not demand anything in return in today’s world where everyone is selfish. But even in this world we see many examples of unconditional love, for example the love a mother gives to her child and the love between two life partners. To love unconditionally, you will have to learn to sacrifice yourself and your desires and also realise that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you. __56__

Realise it can be lost. If you realise that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. ___57__ Don’t make an idol of the person you love. This will place them under unnecessary pressure and will likely result in you losing them.

Never stop loving. Even if you have been hurt before, you should not stop giving love.
