在英语中,see,look,watch,notice都有“看”的意思,要注意他们的区别。
see意为“看到”,表示视觉器官有意识或无意识地看到物体,强调“看到”的结果。 look意为“看”,表示有意识地观看,强调“看”的动作。 watch意为“观看,注视”,指以较大的注意力观看。
notice意为“看到,注意到”,指有意识的注意,含有从不注意到注意的变化的意义。例如: What can you see in the picture?在图画中你能看到什么? Look! How happily they are playing!看!他们玩得多高兴啊! He?s watched TV for over two hours.他看了两个多小时的电视。 He noticed a purse lying on the road.他注意到地上有个钱包。
13. Shoot/ shoot at shoot是及物动词,意思是“射中,射死”,宾语多为人或动物等。而shoot at是一个动词词组,意为“向……射击”,至于射中或射死与否不得而知。如:
The man shot five birds in the forest.那个人在森林里射死(中)了五只鸟。The hunter shot at the bear.猎人朝熊射击了。They shot at the she-wolf, but didn't shoot her.他们向那只母狼射击,但是没有射中/死。
14. escape/ run away
(1)escape作“逃跑”、“逃脱”或“逃避”讲时,往往会有成功之意。如:The old man escaped death.那个老人死里逃生。The thief escaped from prison.那个小偷越狱了。
(2)run away作“逃跑”、“跑走”讲时,往往强调动作。如:Don't let him run away.别让他跑了。
口语中escape和run away可以互用。
15. so that..../ so... that....
(1) so that....为了,以便 。引导一个目的状语从句,从句中往往有情态动词。也可引导一个结果状语从句。如:
I left at 5:00 so that I could catch the early bus. Speak loudly, so that they can hear what you say.
He didn't study English so that he lost a chance to work in a foreign company. (2) so... that....既可引导一个结果状语从句,也可引导一个目的状语从句。

1. (2004年济宁市中考试题)
He wanted to know ______________.
A. whether he speaks at the meeting B. when the meeting would start B. what he?s going to do at the meeting D. where would the meeting be held
【解析】答案:B。该题考查的是宾语从句的语序和时态。因为主句的时态是一般过去时,所以从句应用过去将来时,这就排除了A和B。宾语从句的时态应该是陈述句的语序,所以只有B是对的。
2. (2004年烟台市中考试题)
---Why didn?t you go to the movie yesterday? ---Because I ___________ it before.
A. had watched B. have seen C. have watched D. had seen
【解析】答案:D。该题考查的是动词的搭配以及现在完成时和过去完成时的用法区别。看电影习惯商用see a movie, 又因为说的昨天以前发生的事情,应该用过去完成时。只有D正确。
3. (2004年重庆市中考试题)
---Did you win the football game?---Bad luck. Our team __________ in the final one. A. won B. beat C. was won D. was beaten
【解析】答案:D。该题考查的是动词搭配和动词的语态。动词win通常和比赛一类的词连用,不与人或队连用,因此可以排除A和C。beat是个及物动词,既然我们的运气不好,就是输了,应该用被动语态。 4. (2004年广州市中考试题)
---Who is the man ________ was talking to our English teacher? ---Oh! It?s Mr Baker, our maths teacher.
A. he B. that C. whom D. which
【解析】答案:B。该题考查的是引导定语从句关系代词的选择。由于先行词是人,可以排除A和D。而该词在定语从句中作主语,只有B合适
