5.Some ancient sites have already been damaged by tourists andvillagers are worried that part of their history will be lost.

Hundreds of houses in the area were damaged by the storm. 數(shù)以百計(jì)的房屋毀于這場(chǎng)暴雨。
The accident did a lot of damage to his car.
這次車(chē)禍?zhǔn)顾能?chē)受到了很大損壞。
damage作名詞時(shí),常為不可數(shù)名詞,一般用形容詞great, much, serious, a great deal of來(lái)修飾;表示輕微損壞,用slight。
damages意為“對(duì)損害的賠償、損害賠償費(fèi)”。

墨菲因?yàn)樵诠ぷ髦袉适в冶鬯韵蚬椭鱾兯饕迦f(wàn)美元的賠償費(fèi)。

Millions of pounds worth of damage ____ by a storm which swept across the north of England last night.
A. has been caused
B. had been caused
C. will be caused
D. will have been caused
解析:A 因時(shí)間是last night,可判斷句中的時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)為宜,而不能用將來(lái)時(shí)和過(guò)去完成時(shí),故排除B、C和D。再看A選項(xiàng),damage作為不可數(shù)名詞,謂語(yǔ)應(yīng)為單數(shù),事件發(fā)生于昨夜,其后果現(xiàn)在仍存在,對(duì)現(xiàn)在還有影響,所以A是最佳選項(xiàng)。
6.So far, more than 200,000 bricks have been returned, but two million such bricks are needed for the repairs.
1)so far“迄今為止”,在句中作狀語(yǔ),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)。

in (good) repair 處于完好狀態(tài);
in bad repair年久失修;
out of repair 壞了(不能使用了);
under repair正在修理
3)辨析:as far as和so far as
as far as“到……為止(指實(shí)際距離)”,用來(lái)表示“遠(yuǎn)”的程度;或者指“直到……程度(借喻),就……而言”。這種結(jié)構(gòu)中第二個(gè)as可以是介詞,后跟名詞;也可以是連詞,連接一個(gè)狀語(yǔ)從句。
He walked as far as the village where I lived.
他一直走到我住的那個(gè)村莊。(后接名詞)
The golden rice fields extend as far as the eyes can see. 金黃色的稻田一望無(wú)際(一直延伸到眼睛看得到的地方)。(as后接從句the eyes can see)
I will help you as far as I can.
我將盡力幫助你。
So/As far as I know, he can speak only English. 就我所知,他只會(huì)講英語(yǔ)。
值得注意的是,as far as表示同級(jí)比較時(shí),可用于肯定句及否定句中。但so far as不可用于肯定句。在“直到……程度”的借喻說(shuō)法中,現(xiàn)多用so far as。類(lèi)似的結(jié)構(gòu)很多,如:as much as, as many as, as long as等。
He spends as much as $1,000 a year on books.
他每年的購(gòu)書(shū)費(fèi)高達(dá)1000美元。
