備戰(zhàn)2020中考英語總復(fù)習(xí)資料
cost
[誤] i cost ten dollars for the book.
[正] i spent ten dollars on the book.
[誤] i cost two hours to do my homework.
[正] it took me two hours to do my homework.
[析] cost, spend. take都可以作"花費"講,但用法不同。cost的用法是"something+cost+somebody+時間或金錢",如:the book cost me ten dollars. spend的用法是"somebody+spend+時間+(in)doing something",如:i spent two hours (in) writing this book. 或"somebody+spend+金錢+on something",如:i spend two dollars on this book. 而take的用法則要用邏輯主語it:"it+takes+somebody+時間+to do something", 如:it took me an hour to clean the classroom.
country
[誤] you can find cows in a country.
[正] you can find cows in the country.
[析] country即可作"國家"講,也可作"農(nóng)村"講。當作"農(nóng)村"講時,一定要加定冠詞,而且只有單數(shù)形式。例如:
[誤] farmers live in the countries.
[正] farmers live in the country.
[析] 但作為"國家"講時則可有單、復(fù)數(shù)形式,例如:japan is an asian country. japan, china, and india are asian countries.另外,country一般指的是地理概念上的國家,如:new zealand is an agricultural country. 而nation多指民族組成的國家,如:the chinese nation(中華民族)。state多側(cè)重于政權(quán)方面的區(qū)域、國家范圍,如:the state farm(國營農(nóng)場)。
cross
[誤] there are traffic lights at the cross.
[正] there are traffic lights at the crossing.
[析] cross作為名詞講時是十字架、十字形的東西,如:red cross(紅十字會)。
[誤] the little boy is going to across the street.
[正] the little boy is going to cross the street.
[析] across是副詞或介詞,但不能作動詞用。
cross pass
cross是指橫過某地,如:he crossed the square. 而pass則強調(diào)從某物體旁經(jīng)過,如:i mailed some letters when i passed the post office.
crowd
[誤] the room soon was crowded by people.
[正] the room soon was crowded with people.
[析] crowded在這句話中應(yīng)作為形容詞,所以這句話不是被動語態(tài)而是系表結(jié)構(gòu),如:the room was crowded with books.
cup
[誤] a silver glass was given to the winner.
[正] a silver cup was given to the winner.
[誤] my mother was looking for the whisky cup.
[正] my mother was looking for the whisky glass.
[析] glass一般指由玻璃制成的器皿,而cup多指用陶瓷或金屬制成的杯子,且cup尤其用在獎杯上。喝酒多用的是玻璃制成的杯子,如我們講i drink a glass of wine at supper. 而不講i drink a cup of wine at supper.
d
dance
[誤] we'll invite you and your wife to a dance party.
[正] we'll invite you and your wife to a dancing party.
[正] we'll invite you and your wife to a dance.
