2020屆高考英語一輪復習精品學案――重點詞語辨析900例
例808：ann’s article was well written except for some spelling mistakes.
（不同類物相比，即只不過有些拼寫錯。）
例809：ann is a good student except that she is sometimes careless.
（跟從句，即只不過有時粗心。）
例810：the old lady often takes a walk except when it is raining. （跟從句，即下雨時不散步。）
but：除……外，沒有。與except同義，但只用于who，all，no one，nobody，nothing，everyone或everything等代詞后。例如：
例811：who but carl would do that?（除了卡爾，誰還愿意做那件事？）
例812：they had no choice but to give in. （他們只好屈服。）
例813：he does everything but cook. （他什么都行，就是不會做飯。此處的but前面有行為動詞do，其后的動詞應不帶to。）
besides：作介詞，意為“除……外，還有”；作副詞，意為“況且，再說”。例如：
例814：all the students went besides their teachers.
例815：it’s getting dark; besides, it’s going to rain.
including / included：包括。注意它們不是介詞，including是動詞include的ing形式，included則是形容詞。例如：
例816：all the students went, including li hua / li hua included.
（后者是獨立主格，相當于and li hua was included。）
8.for the first time / the first time / the time
for the first time: 在句中作狀語；the first time和the time在句中起著連詞的作用。如：
例817：they were invited to the palace ball for the first time in their life.
例818：it was for the first time that he made such a mistake. （強調句型）
例819：it is the first time (that) he has made such a mistake.
例820：the first time i met him, he was feeding his sheep.
（此處語法意義上可以用the last time 或 the next time替換)
例821：the time the bell rang, all the pupils rushed out.
此處語法意義上可以用as soon as, the moment, the minute, the instant, instantly, immediately等替換；還可以用hardly … when, scarcely … when, no sooner ... than等倒裝結構來表達。如：
例822：hardly had the bell rang when all the pupils rushed out.
（鈴聲一響，所有的學生都沖了出去。）
9.in all / at all / after all / above all / for all / first of all
in all：總計(=in total)。at all：根本，全然（用于加強語氣）。after all：畢竟。above all：首要（相當于the most important of all）。for all：盡管。first of all：首先。例如：
例823：first of all, i’d like to share the good news with you. for all the difficulties, we’ve managed to finish forty items in all. but we still have to work harder, and above all, we shall value every possible minute. after all, we have only ten days to go. we have no time to waste at all! （首先，我想和大家一起分享好消息：盡管存在種種困難，我們還是設法完成了總共四十個項目。然而，我們還得更加努力，最重要是要珍惜每分每秒，畢竟我們的期限只剩十天，我們的時間實在浪費不起啊！）
