誘思：實例點撥
【例1】(廣東模擬) john is very lazy.he falls________ behind in his studies.
a.very b.more c.far d.still
提示:fall behind表示“落后于”，表達程度時要用far修飾。
答案:c
講評:此處考查程度副詞far的用法，“遠遠地”。
【例2】(江蘇模擬) unlike watching tv,reading is highly active process(過程) ________it requires attention as well as memory and imagination.
a.until b.but c.unless d.for
提示:“a highly active process”與“it requires attention as well as memory and imagination”之間有一定的因果關系，所以應該用for。
答案:d
講評:此處考查for用作連詞表示原因的用法。
