even
【連線高考】同學(xué)們看到這個(gè)單詞,第一反應(yīng)是“甚至,更加”。但高考中也??嫉絜ven的搭配:even if/though (即使,盡管)。例如:—Look at those clouds! —Don't worry. Even if it rains, we'll still have a great time. (2012年北京卷單選)
需要注意的是,even還可表示“平坦的;偶數(shù)的;相等的”,且高考??计涓痹~形式evenly (平坦地;均勻地)。例如:The advanced EP also heats the room evenly. (改良版的EP也能均勻地為房間供暖。) (2013北京卷閱讀理解)
【要點(diǎn)】even ① adv. 甚至,更加 ② adj. 平坦的;偶數(shù)的;相等的
evenly adv. 平坦地;均勻地
even if/though 即使,盡管
board
【連線高考】先來(lái)做一道高考題。
Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to _____ the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the platform. A. check B. carry C. find D. board (2008年山東卷完形)
該題答案為D。你做對(duì)了嗎?Board除了有“木板”的意思外,還有“登(船/機(jī))”“董事會(huì),委員會(huì)”的含義。在上題中,board即為“登(船/機(jī))”之意。再看下題:The school board is made up of parents who have been elected to make decisions about school affairs. (校董事會(huì)由家長(zhǎng)組成,這些家長(zhǎng)被選出來(lái)參與學(xué)校事務(wù)的決議。) (2013年上海卷單選)
【要點(diǎn)】board ① vt. 登(船/機(jī)) ② n. 董事會(huì);委員會(huì) ③ n. 木板
【拓展】aboard prep. 在(船、飛機(jī)等)上
abroad adv. 在國(guó)外
broad adj. 寬的;遼闊的
【巧記】board (木板) →“a-”表狀態(tài)→ aboard (在木板上→在甲板上→在[交通工具]上)
broad (寬的) →“a-”表狀態(tài)→ abroad (在寬的狀態(tài)→在國(guó)外)
reason
【連線高考】看到這個(gè)詞,只知其“原因”這一層意思遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠。來(lái)看下面這道高考題:I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that meant because school had always been easy for me. I read books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I with Professor Jayne.
A. quarreled B. reasoned C. bargained
D. chatted (2008年北京卷完形)
該題正確答案是B。Reason除了作名詞意為“原因”外,還可作動(dòng)詞,意為“與……理論;說(shuō)服;推理”等含義。在上面例子中,很明顯reason意為“與……理論”。
【要點(diǎn)】reason ① n. 原因[C];理由[UC];理性,理智[UC] ② vt. 與……理論;推理;推論
【拓展】reasoning n. 推理,推論
reasonable adj. 講道理的,合情理的;適度的
reasonably adv. 合理地;適當(dāng)?shù)?/p>
suppose
【連線高考】Suppose (vt. 假定;推測(cè);認(rèn)為)在高考閱讀和完形中隨處可見(jiàn)。例如:"We're lost, aren't we?" complained Peter. Paul had to admit that he didn't know where they were. After all, they were a long distance from where they were _____ to be. A. discovered B. encouraged C. persuaded D. supposed (2009年江西卷完形)
該題考查的是suppose的常見(jiàn)搭配be supposed to do (應(yīng)該……)。寫作中可用該短語(yǔ)替換should,以豐富表達(dá)。高考中還會(huì)出現(xiàn)supposing,該單詞意為“假如,如果”。例如:Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other structures float away? (假如我們能夠神奇地關(guān)掉地球引力,樓房和其他建筑物會(huì)飄走嗎?) (2010安徽卷閱讀B)
【要點(diǎn)】suppose vt. 假定;推測(cè);認(rèn)為 be supposed to do 應(yīng)該……
supposing conj. 假如,如果……
