誘思：實例點撥
【例1】 （春季北京模擬） after a fire broke out in the lab,a lot of equipment ______.
a.is damaged b.had damaged c.damaged d.was damaged
提示:從主謂關系判斷，該句應使用被動語態，故排除b、c兩項；由于表達是過去的動作，應該使用過去時，故選d項。
答案:d
講評:解考查時態的題時，要注意前后時間的呼應。
【例2】 (全國模擬ⅰ) roses need special care _______they can live through winter.
a.because b.so that c.even if d.as
提示:根據句意判斷，句子的后半部分是目的狀語從句，故選b。
答案:b
【例3】 (全國模擬ⅳ) lizzie was _______to see her friend off at the airport.
a.a little more than sad b.more than a little sad
c.sad more than a little d.a little more sad than
提示:more than修飾形容詞、名詞或動詞時，通常放在被修飾的詞之前，故排除a、c、d三項。more than用于修飾形容詞、名詞或動詞時，要看作習語，意思是“不僅、很、非常”。全句意思是:lizzie在機場為朋友送行時，非常難過。
又如:yao ming has more than just size.(unit 8 p55)姚明不僅僅有身高優勢。
答案:b
講評:“more than+數詞+名詞”時，more than的意思是“超過”，等于“over+數詞+名詞”。
