（三）易错点讲解
命题角度1 形容词、副词的位置以及易混淆的形容词的用法
1.( 典型例题 ) This __ girls are Linda’s cousin.
A. pretty little Spanish B. Spanish little pretty
C. Spanish pretty little D. little pretty Spanish
[考场错解] D
[专家把脉] 本题考查考生多个形容词作定语时的位置关系。参见下文的规律总结。
[对症下药] A
2.(典型例题) to take adventure course will certainly learn a lot useful skills.
A. Brave enough students B. Enough brave students C. Students brave enough D. Students enough brave
[考场错解] A
[专家把脉] 考生本题容易出错的地方是:通常单个形容词作定语要前置，所以常常误选丸英语中有些形容词作定语时要后置，如:大多数以字母a开头的形容词；形容词修饰不定代词时等。本题中，enough作副词修饰形容词或副词通常要后置。又因为students作句子的主语，要放在句子的开头，修饰它的形容词放在其后。故答案为C。
[对症下药] C
3.(典型例题 ) students are required to take part in the boat race.
A. Ten strong young Chinese B. Ten Chinese strong young C. Chinese ten young strong D. Young strong ten Chinese
[考场错解] B
[专家把脉] 本题容易受汉语习惯的影响从而导致误选。解答的关键是弄懂其排列顺序问题。可参见下文的“规律总结”。
[对症下药] A
总结：
1.英语中某些副词短语的意义和用法很重要。 这类短语常见的还有: more than， no more than， too much， much too， by far， more than， more… than， no less than， not less than 等，在平常练习中要加以注意。
2.意义相近的形容词和副词的用法要加以注意: hard， hardly; deep， deeply; high， highly; dead，deadly; most， mostly; fair， fairly; quite， fairly， rather; almost， nearly; such 等。
3.多个形容词同时一个名词时，多用下列顺序:性质 大小 形状 新旧 颜色，有时也要看与名词的密切关系，越密切越靠近名词。多个词同时作前置定语时的一般排列规律是:代词性定语 冠词／指／物主／所有格 数词(先序后基) 形容词 国籍／材料／用途形容词或名词或动名词 被修饰的名词。例如:a charming small round old brown French oak writing table.
训练：
1 Excuse me, but can I borrow your pencil- box?
A. blue cheap plastic B. cheap blue plastic C. plastic blue cheap D. plastic cheap blue
答案: B
解析:最近的是材料，最远的是一般性描绘形容词cheap。
2 Mr. Evans is wise than smart. Few people can solve such a problem.
A. no less B. no more C. less D. more
答案: D
解析:more…than…与其说……不如说……。
3 Whoever has sense knows that smoking is harmftd to people’s health.
A. normal B. general C. ordinary D. common
答案: D
解析:根据语境，“拥有一般常识的人”，用common 来表示“普通的，平常的”。
命题角度2 形容词、副词的比较级结构；形容词、副词前面使用冠词的情况以及倍数的表达方法
1.(典型例题)David has won the first prize in singing; he is still very excited now and feels __ desire to go to bed.
A. the most B. more C. worse D. the least
[考场错解] A或C
[专家把脉] 解答本题首先要理解语境。David刚刚获奖，还很兴奋，那么睡觉的欲望当然是很少了。the least表示“最少的”的意思。
[对症下药] D
2.(典型例题) Mary kept weighing herself to see how much__ she was getting.
A. heavier B. heavy C. the heavier D. the heaviest
[考场错解] B
[专家把脉] 本题最容易出错的地方是考生难以理解句意中暗含的比较，常常会误选D.囚此，读懂题干是关键。在此基础上就不难理解玛丽所做的目的是“看看 (比以前)重了多少”。
[对症下药] A
3.(典型例题) The house rent is expensive. I’ve got about half the space I had at home and I paying here.
A. as three times much B. as much three times C. much as three times D. three times as much
[考场错解] A
[专家把脉] 在表达倍数时，比较级的修饰词要放在 as...as结构之前。同时本题又是一个省略句，这都是错误的根源。具体用法参见下文的“规律总结”。
[对症下药] D
总结：
1.形容词和副词比较级和最高级前的冠词用法:形容词最高级前须加the，副词最高级前都可以。做表语的形容词前如果没有比较范围和比较对象也可省去the，比较级在特指意义时须加the，泛指时可数单数须加a／an.Most 原级形容词的结构中，前面用不定冠词a，an或无冠词时，并非是最高级意思，most意思为“very(非常)”。
2.形容词比较级的倍数表达方式:比较级修饰词 as adj.／adV.十as和比较级修饰词 as many／much n. as.在“as...as”结构中，第一个as是副词，修饰形容词或副词，强调程度。当某些副词如so,as,too,how等用来修饰名词前的形容词时；不定冠词放在该形容词之后，名词之前。后一个as引导比较状语从句。表示倍数的三个句 型是:
(1)… times as 形容词原级 as…例如:
This table is three times as big as that one.
(2)… times 性质名词 of … 例如:
This table is three times bigger than that one.
3.比较级前可以用 even, still,a bit /little,much, a lot, far, by far, no, any等修饰，表示程度。最高级前可以有序数词，by far, nearly, almost, by no means, not really ,not quite, nothing like等来修饰。例如:
—Is your father any better? 你父亲好些了吗？
—Yes,much better.是的，好多了。
I’d like to buy the second most expensive laptop.
4.形容词副词比较的对象应该相同但不能相互包容。常用以下结构形式:
比较级 than any other 单数名词；比较级 than anyone else；比较级 than any of the other 复数名词。
例如:
China is larger than any other country in Asia /all the other countries in Asia.
The weather here is colder than that of Huanggang.
The computers made in our factory are better than those in your factory,
训练
1 You’d better go and buy some tomatoes for the dinner party, for you see, there are _ _ tomatoes left in the basket than I imagined.
A. far more B. far fewer C. many more D. many fewer
答案: B
解析:far修饰比较级。
2 — Are you satisfied with his work?
— Well, I’m afraid it couldn’t be __ .
A. any better B. the best C. any worse D. the worst
答案: C
解析:否定词和比较级连用相当于最高级。
3 Exercise is _ _ any other to lose unwanted weight.
A. so useful a way B. as a useful way C. as useful a way D. such a useful way
答案: C
二、反身代词
（一）反身代词用法讲解
1、反身代词的构成
反身代词又称自身代词，有人称和数的变化。其中，第一、二人称的反身代词由“形容词性物主代词 后缀-self（单数）/ - selves（复数）”构成，第三人称的反身代词由“人称代词的宾格 后缀-self（单数）/ - selves（复数）”构成。
【家庭成员】
人称
第一人称
第二人称
第三人称
单数
myself
yourself
himself herself itself
复数
ourselves
yourselves
themselves
2、反身代词的用法
① She called herself Xiao Zhang. 她自称小张。
② We can look after ourselves well. 我们会照顾好自己的。
③ The poor boy in the story is myself. 故事里的那个可怜的男孩就是我自己
④ They finished the work themselves. 他们独自完成了工作。
⑤ Did you see Mr. Wang himself? 你见过 王先生本人吗？
【规律总结】
反身代词可以作动词或介词的宾语，如例句①②；可以作表语，如例句③；可以作主语或宾语的同位语，用于加强语气，意为“亲自，本人”，如例句④⑤。
★一些常用的固定搭配
look after oneself / take care of oneself 照顾自己
teach oneself sth. / learn sth. by oneself 自学
enjoy oneself 玩得高兴，过得愉快
help oneself to sth. 请自用……（随便吃/喝些……）
hurt oneself摔伤自己
say to oneself 自言自语
（二）易错点讲解
① 反身代词不能单独做主语，但可以做主语的同位语，起强调作用。例如：
我自己能完成作业。（误）Myself can finish my homework.
（正）I myself can finish my homework.
② 反身代词表示“某人自己”，不能表示“某人自己的东西”，因为它没有所有格的形式。表达“某人自己的（东西）”时，须要用one’s own. 例如：
我用我自己的蜡笔画画。（误）I’m drawing with myself crayons.
（正）I’m drawing with my own crayons.
【趁热打铁】用合适的反身代词填空。
1. Danny, can you do it by __________?
2. Lily is old enough to look after ________ now.
3. Please help _________ to the food, Jenny and Brian.
4. They are enjoying ___________ in the park now.
5. I want to go shopping. I want to buy _________ a T-shirt.
Keys:1. yourself 2. herself 3. yourselves 4. themselves 5. myself
三、祈使句
（一）祈使句用法讲解
祈使句指的是表示命令、请求、建议或劝告的句子。其主语you常省略，谓语动词用原形，句末用感叹号或句号，读降调。
1. 肯定的祈使句
（1）动词原形 其他
Stand up, please. = Please stand up. 请起立。
（2）Be n./adj.
Be a good boy! 要做一个好孩子! Be careful! = Look out! = Take care! 小心 / 当心！
（3）Let 宾语 动词原形 其它成分
Let me help you. 让我来帮你。 Let’s go to school together. 咱们一起上学去吧。
2. 否定的祈使句
(1) Don't 动词原形
Don't stand up. 别站起来。
Don't be careless. 别粗心。
Don't let them play with fire. 别让他们玩火。
(2) Let型的否定式有两种:“Don't let 宾语 动词原形 其它成分”和“Let 宾语
not 动词原形 其它成分”。
Don't let him go. / Let him not go. 别让他走。
Let them not play with fire. 别让他们玩火。
(3) no开头,用来表示禁止性的祈使句。
No smoking! 禁止吸烟!No fishing! 禁止钓鱼!
3. 祈使句的强调形式，通常在肯定祈使句式前加上助动词Do。
例如：Do shut up! 快住口！
4. 祈使句的回答 祈使句的动作通常是表示将来发生的动作，所以回答祈使句时，一般用
will或won’t。
在回答具有否定意义的祈使句时，要注意两点：
1) 形式一致(即Yes与will保持一致；No与won’t保持一致)
2) 意思相反(即Yes是 “不”的意思；No是 “是”的意思)。
在回答时，要注意分析上下文语境中所提供的条件。
如：--- Don’t go out, please. It’s raining heavily outside. 请不要出去。外面雨下得很大。
---- Yes, I will. I have to meet my brother at the airport. 不行，我得去机场接我弟弟。
（二）易错点讲解
1、放句首时，要注意Don’t后面要用动词原形；
2、当人称后面有标点符号时，要注意是用祈使句还是用三单。
如：Lucy, don’t be late again.
Lucy, a 17-year-old girl, is not late again.
3、祈使句与or的搭配， 如：Hands up, or we’ll shoot.
【趁热打铁】

也可指现在。如：

3. should表推测，暗含很大的可能。如：
It’s 4:30. They should be in New York by now. 现在是四点半，他们应该到达纽约了。
（二）had better用法讲解
1. had better的基本用法特点
其意为“最好”、“应该”，后接动词原形，与情态动词should用法相似，其中的had通常缩略为 ‘d。如：
You’d better get some sleep．你最好去睡一会儿。
We had better go before it rains. 我们最好在下雨前就去。
2. had better如何构成否定式和疑问式
构成否定式时，通常将not置于had better之后(而不是had之后)；而构成疑问式时，则通常将had(而不是had better)置于主语之前。如：
I’d better not disturb him．我最好别去打扰他。
What had we better do? 我们最好怎么办?
【注】在否定疑问句或反意疑问句中可将not与had连用。如：
Hadn’t we better go now? 我们是不是现在就去呢?
3. had better后接进行式
有时后接动词的进行式，表示最好马上做某事如：
I think I’d better be going．我想我最好还是马上走。
You’d better be getting your clothes ready. 你最好马上把衣服准备好。

六、动词不定式的用法
1、动词不定式作宾语
一些动词，如want, decide, hope, ask, agree, choose, learn, plan, need, teach, prepare,等，常接动词不定式作宾语。当动词不定式作宾语时，如果后接宾语补足语，常用it作形式宾语，而把真正的宾语放在宾语补足语之后。应注意有些动词后面可接不定式作宾语，也可接动名词作宾语，但所表达的意义不同。
常见的有：（1）stop to do sth.停止正在做的事，去做另一件事；stop doing sth. .停止正在做的事
（2）go on to do sth. 做完一件事后，继续做另一件事；go on doing sth.继续做同一件事

昨天晚上九点她在做什么？ (介词短语表示时间点)
When I saw him he was decorating his room.
当我看见他的时候他正在装饰房间。 (when从句表示时间点)
3. 在复合句中，如果主要动作和背景动作都是延续的或同时发生的，那么主从句的动词都可用过去进行时。例如：
While he was waiting for the bus, he was reading a newspaper.
他边等车边看报。 (两个动作都是延续的)
He was cleaning his car while I was cooking.
他擦车时我在做饭。(两个动作同时进行)
4、表示在过去即将发生的动作。如：
She asked him whether he was coming back for supper.
5、表示过去的反复性或习惯性的动作，常与副词always,constantly,continually,frequently等连用，常常带有说话人的某种感情色彩。如：
His mother was always working like that.他目前总是那样工作。
6. 通常不能用于过去进行时的动词主要有：agree, be, believe, belong, care, forget, hate, have(拥有), hear, know, like, love, mean, mind, notice, own, remember, seem, suppose, understand, want, wish等。
（四）过去进行时与一般过去时的区别
（1）过去进行时与一般过去时，两者都表示过去发生的动作,但过去进行时表示在过去某一特定的时间点或时间段正在进行的动作,而一般过去时表示在过去时间完成的动作｡例如:
I was typing a letter last night. 昨晚我在打一封信｡(可能没打完)
I typed some letters last night. 我昨晚打了一些信｡(已经打完)
A. 过去进行时却表示动作在持续或未完成，而一般过时往往表示某一动作已经完成。
I was reading the book at that time. (未读完，“读”的片段)
I read the book yesterday. (已读完，表整个“读”)
B、一般过去时表示只做一次动作，而过去进行时却表示动作反复地进行。
She waved to me. 她朝我挥了挥手。
It was raining all night.(优先用was raining ,rained 为持续动词，故也可使用)
He was writing a letter the whole of afternoon. (短暂动词与持续时间连用，表反复，连续发生，不可用一般过去时)
