9.形容词
形容词(Adjective)是用来描写或修饰名词或代词，说明人或事物的归属性质、状态、大小或数量的词。
1）形容词在句中的作用：
A．做定语, 常放在名词前。如：They are comfortable trainers.
I heard the terrible noise last night.
B．表语, 常放在系动词之后。如：I was alone in the house. The news sounds exciting.
2)A．形容词的原级: 形容词的原级形式与形容词本身形式相同,用来描述人余人、事与
事之间在某方面的相同或不同。as+adj.+as的意思是“和……一样”；not
as/so+adj.+as 是它的否定形式, 意思是“不如……”。
He is as clever as his father. 他和他的父亲一样聪明。
You are not as active as your sister. 你不如你的妹妹活跃。
B．形容词的比较级和最高级:
大多数形容词的比较级和最高级采用在词尾加-er和-est的形式，或在单词前加
This storybook is cheaper than that fashion magazine.
He is much taller than his best friend.
形容词最高级的用法: 表示三者或三者以上人或事物的比较the+最高级+比较范围She is the most beautiful girl in the model team.
This is the best film that I have ever seen.
10. I like learning how to cook and sew. 我喜欢学习怎样做饭和怎样做缝纫。
有些动词之后可以接疑问词how, what, when, where, which, who再加动词不定式(why没有这种用法)。这类动词常用的有ask, decide, discover, find out, forget, know, learn, remember, see, show sb., think, understand, want to know, wonder。如:
The young man knows how to look after his grandfather.
I was shown how to solve the puzzle. We can’t decide where to have a picnic.
I wonder when to visit the house to the elderly.
11. Reading week is always too short because we want to read all our friends’
books as well. 阅读周总是太短。因为我们也想要读我们所有朋友的书。
as well 相当于too，是副词短语，一般放在句末。如：
Sandy is able to dance. She is able to sing as well. Simon is an actor and a director as well.
12. I meet my fiends and we always have a great time talking to each other.
我和朋友们相聚聊天，过得很愉快。
have a great time = enjoy oneself=have fun “过的愉快,玩得开心”
Last month we had a school trip and we had a great time hiking in the hills.
13. It means someone (who/whom)you admire very much.
意思是某个你很崇拜的人。
You admire very much 是定语从句。someone 是先行词，关系代词who/whom 在从句中作admire的宾语，所以可以被省略了。
14．两者之间的比较和两者以上的比较:
1) more 是many 和much 的比较级，可以与可数名词复数或不可数名词连用，如：more…
than…
He knows more skills than other workers.
The adviser offered us more advice than he had done before.
2) most 是many 和much 的最高级: most…最多的
She has the most stamps in her class. We spend the most time on Maths.
3) few 的比较级是fewer 最高级是fewest，用于修饰可数名词
My friend has fewer football stickers than me. Tom has the fewest oranges of the three.
4) little 的比较级是less最高级是least, 用于修饰不可数名词
We try to spend less money than the other team. The bottle with the least water is Kitty’s.
15．like 和alike
1) like 表示“像”,可以作介词,也可以作连词。它的位置往往在句子的中间,在名词或名词
性从句之前。如：
This coat is like that one. You are like a teacher.
The man in the picture looks like Mr. Wang. You should do it like what you said.
2) alike 是形容词，一般只作表语，用于系动词之后
The two songs sound alike. My boots and Sandy’s are alike.
还可以作副词，如：Teachers must treat all the students alike.
Great minds think alike. 英雄所见略同。
16．The number of 和a number of
the number of …(…的数量)作主语时，谓语用单数；a number of…(大量…)修饰复数名词,谓语一般用复数。如：The number of the cranes is becoming less. 鹤的数量在减少。
A number of monkeys are jumping happily. 许多猴子高兴地跳着。
17．She has to stay in the hospital for a month. 她不得不住院一个月。
have to 和must 都表示必须，have to 往往是客观外界情况造成“不得不”，must 表示说话人主观上认为“应该” “有必要”。如：It is late now. We have to leave, or we’ll be late.
I must finish my task this afternoon.
18. Kitty’s teacher Mr. Wu invited me to join in their school trip.
Kitty的老师吴老师邀请我参加他们的学校旅行。
1) invite somebody. to do something. 的意思是“邀请某人做某事”；invite somebody. to
something的意思是“邀请某人…”。
The artist invited us to visit the gallery. He was invited to dinner by the headmaster.
2)join作及物动词，是“参加”一群人的活动，或“加入”某个组织成为其中一员。

He’ll join us in the painting.
19. The trip from Kitty’s school took about two hours by coach.
从Kitty的学校出发的行程乘长途车花了大约2小时。
1) take 表示“花费, 消耗”,此时主语一般是物。常用于“It +takes/took/will take somebody
to do something.”中。如：The long journey took us half a year.
It took us half a year to take the long journey.
2) 乘坐交通工具用by+交通工具。如:
by coach / car / bus / tram / boat / ship (sea) / train / plane (air)
20. It is made of metal and really tall. 它由金属制成，而且真的很高。
1) be made of 由…制成, 所制成的产品能看出原材料。

21. There are over a hundred places of interest from all over the world.

1）places of interest 的意思为“名胜”。如：Tiger Hill is one of the places of interest in Suzhou.
2）over= more than的意思是“超过”。如：There are more than fifty students in our class.
22. Daniel taught himself how to make a home page. 丹尼尔自学如何做主页。
1) teach oneself to do something. /how to do something.的意思是“自学(如何)作某事”，而
teach oneself somehting的意思是“自学…”。如：
She can sing well, but she taught herself.
Though his father is old, he is teaching himself how to use computers.
2）how to make a home page 是疑问词+不定式, 在句中作宾语。如：
Can you tell me how to get to the post office? She knows where to buy this CD.
They have to decide when to start charity walk.
23. 并列连词: and, but, or的用法
1) and 用来连接语法作用相同的词，表示“和”。如：
He can speak Chinese and French. (表并列, 连接两个名词)
They shook hands and began to talk at once. (表顺序, 连接两个短语)
His mother cleans the house and he plays the piano. (连接两个句子) 2）but 表示转折,意思“但是, 然而, 却”,可用来连接有对立或对照性的词短语和句子。
如：He is energetic but strange.
They have three envelopes but on stamps.
He works hard every day, but it seems to have no improvement.
3）or 意思是“或者, 还是” 表示二者选择其一。如：Is it green or blue?
Simon or Daniel can work it out. You can stay at home or go out for a trip.
注意：or连接两个主语时,谓语动词的单复数由or后面的主语决定，即“就近原则”。
Either you or she went to the park yesterday. You or I am right.
24. 反身代词
反身代词:是表示“自己; 本身; 亲自”的意思的词。反身代词表示动作发出者将动作反射到自己身上，即句子的主语和宾语指的是同一对象。
其基本形式：第一人称: myself, ourselves
第二人称: yourself, yourselves
第三人称: himself, herself, itself; themselves
如：My aunt is teaching herself a new language.

I can finish it myself. (亲自, 本人)

典型例题
1. I have to pay __________ usual for the coat because the discount is over.
A. as much twice
B. much twice
C. twice as much as
D. times two
解析：答案选C。
句子意思是：由于降价结束了我不得不付了比平时多的钱买这件大衣。选项中没有比较级，但是能找到原级比较的结构“as+形容词原级+as”的形式，这里“twice as much as”表示“和两倍一样多”。例如：The water in this bottle is as much as that in the glass.三倍那样多“three times as much as”其他选项不能表达正确的意思，故选C。
2. Sue works faster than _______ girls in the office.
A. any other
B. any
C. another
D. others
解析：答案选A。
首先可以排除any，如果用any girls表示任何女孩，其中包括Sue在内，但是我们不能和自己本身相比较，所以不能选A。Another 表示“又一，再一”，一般用于修饰单数名词，如：another girl。如：could you please show me another pair of jeans. Other 通常与any，some 等连用，表示“另外一些”。如：Do you have any other books on this subject？others是代词，用于代替other+名词，例如：Some students are reading while other students are playing chess.= Some students are reading while others are playing chess. 故选A。
3. Don’t ______ to others like tha t. You should ________ politely.
A. say; speak
B. say; talk
C. talk; speak
D. speak; tell
解析：答案选C。
say, speak, talk, tell都可以理解为“说”，但它们的用法有些不同之处。Say一般是一个及物动词，后面跟的是说话的内容。例如：He said that he was good at sport. He said, “I was good at sport.” speak侧重于演讲，讲某一种语言，或讲话的方式，如：He is able to speak in public for hours. He can speak French. The lady spoke softly to the child. tell意思是告诉，也用于讲故事等，如，The teacher told me the interesting news. He is kind enough to tell the children stories. Talk经常跟说话的对象talk to/with somebody。所以第一个空应选talk, 第二个空选speak。故选C。
4. She isn’t quite tall, so I don’t think she can sit _______ the classroom.
A. in front of
B. at the back of
C. at the front of
D. behind
解析：答案选C。
in front of意思是“在……的前面（外面）”，如：There is a tree in front of the house. Behind 意思与in front of相对。如：There is a yard behind my house.。At the back of 和at the front of 都表示在室内，根据句子意思她很高判断，她不能坐在教室的前面。故选C。
5. We hope the foreign student can _______ our trip to the World Park.
A. take part
B. join in
C. take place
D. joins
解析：答案选B。
表示参加的短语有“take part in”和“join in”, 用于表示参加某种活动。Join表示加入某一组织或成为某一组织的成员。Take place是“发生”。句意是参加我们的旅行，而且情态动词后用动词原形，所以不能选D。A选项少了一个介词in。故选B。
6. I couldn’t _______ any interesting book on the bookshelf.
A. look at
B. discover
C. find
D. find out
解析：答案选C。
look at 意思是“看”,不合题意，可以先排除。Discover发现以前早就存在而未被被人们所知的事物。Find out 通过调查，或努力查明事实。在这里只有find表示的是look for的结果可以用于表示发现一本有趣的书，所以选C。
7. The meeting hall isn’t _________ to hold so many people.
A. bigger enough
B. enough big
C. very big enough
D. big enough
解析：答案选B。
根据句意会议大厅不够大，无法容纳那么多人。这一个结构中要使用形容词原级，所以A 不正确。Enough修饰形容词要后置adj + enough，所以只能选C, D之一。并且如果使用了enough就不再使用very, quite, rather等表示程度的词了。故选B。
8. Everyone must learn to look after ________.
A. himself
B. themselves
C. yourself
D. herself
解析：答案选B。
本题主要考察复合不定代词的用法。Everyone, everybody, nobody等作主语时, 后面的代词常用第三人称复数形式。所以使用themselves。又如: Nobody would like themselves to be laughed at. 和Everyone believes themselves。故选B。
9. Doing more exercise and eating ______ food can help you stay ______.
A. healthy; healthy
B. healthily; health
C. health; healthy
D.health; health
解析：答案选D。
health是名词“健康”, healthy是形容词“健康的”，healthily是副词“健康地”，第一个空后的food是名词，我们用形容词修饰名词：healthy food。第二个空的前面是连系动词stay后面应该使用形容词充当它的表语，是stay healthy。故选D。
10. I ______ much time _____ my homework yesterday.
A. took; to do
B. cost; doing
C. spent; to do
D. spent; doing
解析：答案选D。
take, cost, spend三个词都可表示“花费”。take一般只用于表示花费时间，而且使用形式主语句型“It takes / took somebody some time to do something.”。例如: It took me half an hour to draw the picture。Cost 常用于表示花费金钱，此时要用物作主语，如: The trainers cost me three hundred yuan。Spend 既可表示花时间又可表示花钱。通常是“spend some time/some money on something.或spend some time/some money (in) doing something.”。故选D。

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices, factory or school every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier and reach home later in the evening.
One advantage(好处) of living outside London is that the houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent(租). With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can rest away from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer
evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and other jobs which are nee ded in a garden. Then when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things. For them happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live outside London. An occasional(偶尔) walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s() visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
( ) 4. What kind of people like to live outside the city?
A. People who work in London.
B. People who like cinemas, theatres and beautiful shops.
C. People who have a lot of money.
D. People who love the city life.
( ) 5. One can ______ in London with the same money for buying a little house with a garden in the country.
A. rent a small flat with a garden
B. rent a small flat without a garden
C. get a small flat with a garden
D. get a small flat without a garden ( ) 6. When the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one ____ has shared the secret of Nature.
A. who works in they city
B. who lives in the country
C. who has spend time working in the garden
D. who is a farmer.

Many years ago there were airships in the sky. Airships were large balloons. They were full of gas to keep them in the air, but the gas was dangerous and burned quickly.
One of the largest airships was called the Hindenburg. This was a German airship. It was 245 metres long and it carried more than 100 people. It could move through the sky at 120 kilometres an hour. Its journey across the Atlantic took a week. The Hindenburg had 16 bags of gas inside it. When the airship was on the ground these bags were empty. When the pilot of the airship wanted to leave the ground, he filled the bags with gas.
For four months in 1935 the Hindenburg flew every week between Germany and America. Most of the passengers were rich people. They liked the Hindenburg because although the journey cost a lot of money, it was very comfortable. On 6 May, 1935 when the Hindenburg was landing in America, it caught fire and crashed. The people on the ground could do nothing to help the passengers in the airship. 34 people died. 97 people jumped to the ground and lived.
For many years after the Hindenburg crash everyone stopped using airships. They thought they were too dangerous. Nowadays, however, there are new gases that do not burn quickly. Some people think that there will soon be many airships in the sky again because they are much cleaner and quieter than planes.

It can be dangerous to travel by sea. Ships sometimes sink far away from land. When this happens, the sailors have to get into small boats. If another ship does not come and help them and they do not have enough food or water, they may die.
Most people believe we must not drink sea water. They believe that if we do, we shall be very ill because of all the salt in the water. A doctor called Alain Bombard did not believe this. He thought that people could stay alive by drinking sea water and eating small fish, animals, and plants from the sea. On 19 October 1953, he set out in a small boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean. He did not take any food or water with him.
Every day Dr. Bombard drank just a little sea water. He also caught fish and they had water in them. He took small plants from the sea, which gave him more food.
Dr. Bombard became hot, tired and quite ill, but after 65 days at sea he was still alive. He traveled 2750 miles from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, and on 24 December 1953 he reached Barbados.
He lost 20 kilos, but he showed that people could live on sea water and animals and plant in the sea.
( ) 4. What is this story mainly about?
A. Drinking sea water.
