初一至初三全程英語知識點總結及練習1
② i found nobody around.我發現周圍沒有一個人。
ⅲ. round “環繞……周圍、循環地”表一種活動的狀況。如：
① the earth moves round the sun.地球繞著太陽轉。
② a wheel goes round. 輪子旋轉著。
[注]：這兩個詞現在可以通用，只是around 多用于美國，round多用于英國。
§44 arrive/ reach/ get to
ⅰ. arrive, reach, get to 均有“到達”之意，意義基本相同，但arrive(in)/(at) 與reach, 是正式用語，get to 是通俗用詞，常用于口語。
ⅱ. arrive 是不及物動詞，表到達什么地點時，后面應接前置詞in或at, 一般說，到達一個大地方常用in, 到達較小的地方常用at, 但這不絕對的。（與地點副詞連用時當然不用任何前置詞）如：
① he arrived in beijing yesterday.
② when he arrived at the stop, the bus had left.
ⅲ. reach 是及物動詞，后面直接跟表地點的名詞。如：
when does the train reach london?
ⅳ. get to 只是較口語化。接地點副詞時不用to. 如：
① he got to the shop at 5:00 o’clock this afternoon.
② when i got there, the film had been on for 5 minutes.
§45 article/ essay/ composition
ⅰ. article “文章、論文”通常指記敘文或論文。如：
① the article explains how the machine works. 這篇文章說明了這部機器怎樣開動的道理。
② there is an article on education in the paper. 報紙上有一篇論教育的文章。
ⅱ. essay “文章、論文”通常指文學上散文、隨筆、雜文等；也指學術性論文。如：
① we shall read lu xun’s essays . 我們將讀魯迅的雜文。
② can you write an essay in english? 你能用英文寫一篇論文嗎？
ⅲ. composition “寫作、作文”。 尤指學習語文者為練習寫作而做的作文。如：
① he is learning composition. 他在學習寫作。
② the students were required to write a composition in english. 要學生寫一篇英語作文。
§46 as soon as/ as early as/ as quickly as
ⅰ. 這三個詞都有“盡快、盡早”之意。
ⅱ. as soon as 側重于“極短時間內”。還表示“一……就……”之意，引導狀語從句。如：
① i’ll return it as soon as i can.我將盡快地把它還給你。
ⅲ. as early as 側重于一天中的早晨或在限定的時間內再早點，以便能達到預期的目的。如：
① you should arrive there as early as you can. 你應盡早到達那里。
ⅳ. as quickly as 表做某事的速度非常之快或動作非常之敏捷。如：
① please read the text as quickly as you can. 請把課文盡快讀一遍。
§47 as soon as/ hardly…when/ no sooner…than
ⅰ. 三者在意義上基本相同，都有“一……就……”，“剛……就……”，但它們各有其特點。
ⅱ. as soon as 最為普通，位置靈活，可在主句前，也可在其后。且可用作多種時態。如：
① as soon as i went in , kate let out a cry of surprise. 我一進去，凱特就驚訝地叫了一聲。
② i’ll tell him as soon as he comes back.
