【點撥】 在復合句中修飾某一名詞或代詞的從句叫定語從句,定語所修飾的詞叫先行詞。當先行詞是指人的名詞時,引導定語從句的關(guān)系代詞一般要用who;當先行詞是指物的名詞,關(guān)系代詞要用that。
2. What does it remind you of? 它使你想起了什么?
【點撥】 remind是及物動詞,意為“提醒、使記起”,一般用remind sb. of sth. (使某人想起某事),或remind sb. to do sth. (提醒某人做某事)。例如:
The film reminded him of what he had seen in China. 這個電影使他想起了在中國所看到的一切。
3. I prefer classical music to pop music. 我喜歡古典音樂而不喜歡通俗音樂。
【點撥】 prefer意為“更喜歡……”,prefer ... to ...結(jié)構(gòu)表示“喜歡……勝過……”,兩個詞后面可接名詞或動詞-ing形式。例如:
I prefer the town to the country. 我喜歡城鎮(zhèn)而不喜歡鄉(xiāng)下。
I prefer walking to recycling. 我喜歡步行勝過騎自行車。
4. I hope to see Niagara Falls some day. 我希望有一天去看看尼亞加拉瀑布。

【點撥】 1) hope用作及物動詞時,意為“希望、盼望”,后面可接動詞不定式或從句作賓語,不可接動詞不定式作賓語補足語(hope sb. to do sth.)。例如:
I hope that he will come tomorrow. 我希望他明天來。(不可說:I hope him to come tomorrow.)
2) provide意為“提供、供給”,常用句式為:provide sb. with sth. = provide sth. for sb. 向某人提供某物。例如:

His father provides food and clothes for their family. 他的父親供給家里的衣食。
5. For your next vacation, why not consider visiting Paris? 為什么不考慮下一個假期去巴黎觀光?

7. I take after my mother. 我像我媽媽。
【點撥】 take after意為“長得像”,與look like的意思相同,一般情況下可以互換使用;但look like多指外貌,take after多指言行。例如:
Mary takes after / looks like her mother. 瑪麗像她媽媽。
8. I think it was invented in 1876. 我想它是在1876年發(fā)明的。
【點撥】 一般過去時的被動語態(tài)的構(gòu)成為“was / were +動詞的過去分詞”。例如:

9. Its used for scooping really cold ice cream. 它是用來鏟起非常冷的冰淇淋的。
【點撥】 be used for意為“用于……”,表示某物是用來干某事的,即某物的用途,后面常跟動詞-ing形式。例如:

10. The potato chips were invented by mistake. 薯片是由于偶然的錯誤而發(fā)明出來的。
【點撥】 by mistake的意思是“錯誤地”,是一個介詞短語,在句中一般充當狀語。例如:

11. ... and the number of foreign players in Americas NBA (National Basketball Association) has increased. ……美國NBA中的外國的運動員的數(shù)量增長了。
【點撥】 a number of 與the number of后面都可接復數(shù)名詞,a number of意為“很多……”,作主語時謂語動詞要用復數(shù)形式;the number of意為“……的數(shù)量”,作主語時謂語動詞要用單數(shù)形式。例如:

12. And by the time I got up, my brother had already gotten in the shower. 我起床時,我哥哥已經(jīng)在洗澡了。

By the time I got home, the rain had stopped. 當我到家時,雨已經(jīng)停了。
13. I only just made it to my class. 我剛好趕上上課。

14. He asked her to marry him. She was thrilled, because she really wanted to get married. 他讓她嫁給他。她非常激動,因為她確實想結(jié)婚。

The girl married a teacher. 那個姑娘嫁給了一個教師。
He wanted to marry his daughter to a rich man. 他想把他的女兒嫁給一個有錢人。
get / be married意為“結(jié)婚”,但與表示一段的時間狀語連用時,要用be married。例如:

They have been married for five years. 他們結(jié)婚已五年了。
