【摘要】词海茫茫,高考7000个词汇如何复习?抓不住重点? 话说单词应该放在句子中记忆,才能事半功倍,小编精心整理了100个句子,此乃精华中的精华,帮你抓住重点,做到有的放矢。

◆ raise; keep; support; feed 这四个词都有“抚养”、“养家”、“赡养”的意思,但也有区别。

◇ raise意为“抚养(指人);饲养(指动物或禽畜)”之意。如:

He raised the children himself;his wife died years ago.

他的妻子多年以前就去世了,他一手把孩子拉扯大。

He raised those goats from new-born kids.那些羊从小羊羔时就是他喂养的。

◇ keep表示“养活(指人);饲养(指动物或禽畜)”。如:

John has his wife and six children to keep(support).约翰要养活妻子和六个孩子。

They kept some hens and pigs.他们养了一些鸡和猪。

◇ support意为“养活”,不用于饲养动物。如:

She supports her old mother.她赡养老母亲。

He has a large family to support.他要养活一大家子。

◇ feed意为“喂?养 ;饲养;以……为食”。如:

Have you fed the baby/cow yet?婴儿/牛喂了吗?

She fed meat to her dog. =She fed her dog with/on meat.她用肉喂狗。

Foxes feed on small animals.狐狸以小动物为食。

◆ rather than/would rather(…than)

◇ rather than是连词,前后两端所连的词性是一致的,通常译为“而不是”或“与其说是……不如说是”,有时可用短语介词instead of替代。例如:

He was writing a letter rather than=(instead of)reading the newspaper.他那时正在写信而不在看报纸。

John should go rather than=(instead of)Jean.应该去的是约翰,而不是简。

These shoes are comfortable rather than pretty.这些鞋子谈不上漂亮,但穿起来倒很舒服。

Evans is a doctor rather than a teacher.与其说埃文斯是个老师,不如说是个医生。

◇ would rather表示选择或主观上的愿望,其中的would亦可理解为had。它表示“宁愿、宁可”的意思。如果要把取舍的双方都表达出来,则应该用would(or:had)rather…than,表示“宁愿……也不……”的意思。例如:

My aunt invited me to the film, but I said I'd rather go on a picnic with the girls.

我的姑妈邀请我去看电影,可是我说我倒愿意跟女孩子们一起去野餐。

I am sure they would(or:had)rather die than give up.我深信他们一定会宁死不屈。

◆ refer to; refer…to ◇ refer to意为①“谈及”,“提到”;②“查阅”,“参考”。如:

You are the very person I referred to just now.你正是我刚才所指的人。

Please refer to the map of the city when you first drive here. 当你第一次在这儿驾驶时,请参看市政地图。

◇ refer…to意为①“把……提交给”,“把……归功于”②“让……处理/查找”,可用于被动语态。如:

The dispute was referred to the United Nations.争端被提交联合国解决。

He referred me to the notes.他建议我参看一下注释。

We referred our great development to the correct leadership of the Party.

我们把我们所取得的巨大发展归功于党的正确领导。

◆ reply;answer

◇ 二者均可表示“回答”,可作名词和动词。answer 为一般用语,主要用于对问题、指责等的回答;reply的用法较正式,多用于对问题作出解释、辩论或陈述性回答。二者作名词时都指“……的答案或答复”,均与 to 连用。例如:

Answer this question.回答这个问题。

I asked her the reason, but she didn’t reply. 我问她为什么,她却不回答。

I received no reply / answer to my request. 我的要求没有收到任何答复。

◇ answer 后面可直接跟宾语,而reply 跟宾语时须与 to 连用;answer 可表示对电话、敲门等作出的“应答”,reply 则不能。例如:

You must reply to/answer this letter right away. 你应当马上回复这封信。

Who answered the telephone? 谁接的电话?

◇ 如果是指练习题的“答案”,一般用 answer。例如:

The answer to 6×10 is 60. 6乘以10 的答案是60。
