we'll discuss the use of the articles tomorrow.明天我們將討論冠詞的用法。
11 as (so) far as; as (so) long as
as（so）far as的意思是“就……而言（所知）”，as (so) far as sth.is concerned是其中一種具體用法，意為“就某事而言”；as (so) long as意為“只要”，引導條件狀語從句。如：
as far as i know, more than 10 million laid-off workers have found their new jobs.
就我所知，一千多萬下崗工人已經(jīng)找到了新的工作。
there is nothing that we can’t do so / as long as we keep on trying to do it.
只要我們不斷地努力去做，就沒有什么事干不成。
as far as the tourism of china is concerned, there is a long way to go.
就中國的旅游業(yè)而言，需要做的工作還很多。
12 asleep/sleeping 二者都是形容詞。asleep僅用作表語，不能作定語，表示“睡著，熟睡”的意思；而sleeping一般只能用作定語，放在名詞前，表示“睡眠中的，休止的”意思。
如：我們不能說：an asleep baby，但可以說：a sleeping baby（一個熟睡的嬰兒）。
再如：he was asleep with his head on his arms.他頭枕著手臂在熟睡。
asleeping dog正在熟睡的狗 sleeping car臥車 sleeping bag睡袋
13 assert，affirm，maintain assert宣稱、斷言，常指某人主觀自信，堅持己見，有時不顧客觀事實而斷言下結(jié)論。 affirm指以事實為依據(jù)，深信不疑地肯定某種觀點或看法。 maintain指在相反的證據(jù)或論點面前，重申原來的某種觀點、立場。
a.despite all the policeman’s questions the suspect ＿＿＿ that he had been at home all evening.
b.it is nonsense to ＿＿＿ that smoking does not damage people’s health.
c.throughout his prison sentence dunn has always ＿＿＿ his innocence.
answers：a. affirmed b. assert c. maintained
14 as though；even though；though as though（＝as if），意為“好像；似乎”，引導方式狀語從句或表語從句。如：
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(shè)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。
15 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。
