2019屆高考英語常用詞匯辨析
he spoke as though(as if)he had been here before.他說話的口氣好像他以前來過這里。
it looks as if(as though)it is going to rain.看起來好像要下雨。
even though(=even if),意為“即使”,引導讓步狀語從句。though也引導讓步狀語從句,意為“雖然”;even though有退一步設想的意味,與though不同。though引導的句子所說的是事實,even though引導的句子所說的則不一定是事實。例如:
he will not tell the secret even though(even if)he knows it.即使他知道這個秘密,他也不肯說出來。
he will not tell the secret though he knows it.他雖然知道這個秘密,但他不會說出來。
at the beginning;in the beginning at the beginning 在……初;在……開始的時候。常與of連用。例如: students usually have a study plan at the beginning of term. 學生們在開學初制定學習計劃。 in the beginning 相當于at first,表示“起初、開始”時,含“起初是這種情況,而后來卻不是這種情況”之意,不與of連用。例如: in the beginning,some of us took no interest in physics. 起初我們有些人對物理不感興趣。

beset 指"圍攻", 即從各個方向攻擊, 如:
