Read the passage again. Complete the sentences with
words from the passage.2c
1. For many students, it is easy to get to school.
对于许多学生来说,上学很容易。
1) many adj.& pron. 许多
表示“多”的意思,可用many, much, a lot of, lots of
等。但是many, much常用于否定句和疑问句,而a lot
of等则常用于肯定句。例如:
I haven’t seen many English films. 多数英文电影我没看
过。(many修饰可数名词复数,表许多)
There is much water in the bottle.
瓶子里有许多水。(much修饰不可数名词,表量或程
度。)
The boy had a lot of pocket money.
这男孩有许多零花钱。
You have lots of time to finish the work.
你有充裕的时间来完成这项工作。
注:lots of=a lot of 后面接可数名词和不可数名词均可,
接可数名词时谓语用复数,接不可数名词时,谓语用单数。
2) It is + adj. (for sb.) to do sth.
(对某人来说)干某事是……
It is interesting for me to play computer games.
对我来说玩电脑游戏很有趣。
2. There is a very big river between their school and the village.
在他们的学校和乡村之间有一条大河。
between… and… 在……和……之间
例如:Can you tell me the difference between Lucy and Lily?
你能告诉我露西和莉莉之间的不同吗?
3. There is no bridge and the river runs too quickly for boats.
(河上)完全没有桥梁,而且河水湍急,不宜小船摆渡。
1) 此句是英语否定结构的一种。当no 用于构成否定句,
主要用于名词之前,强调否定其后的名词,表现“完全
不;根本没有。”例如:
There are no computers in that small mountain village.
在那个小山村里根本就没有电脑。
There is no milk in the fridge.
冰箱里没有牛奶。
2) run 表示“跑,奔;液体的流动”,在不同语境中分
别有不同的用法和含义。例如:
I run back to my room and get my bag.
我奔回房间拿自己的提包。
The river runs into the sea.
这条河流入大海。
I have a bad headache and my nose runs a lot. 我头痛得
很厉害,而且我的鼻涕很多。
4. One 11-year-old boy, Liangliang, crosses the river every
school day.
亮亮,一个11岁男孩,每天过河上学。
1)11-year-old 构成一个复合形容词,修饰名词boy。
请注意其中的year之后没有复数词尾-s。这一构词结构
较为常见。例如:
a four-day trip 一个四天的旅行
a 30-page book 一本30页的书
a three-room house 一个三间屋的房子
2)cross 作动词用,“穿过,越过”的意思。主要表示
在物体表面上横穿。如横过马路、过桥、过河等,
与go across同义。例如:
Be careful when you cross the street.
过马路时要小心。
辨析 cross, across与through
(1) across是介词,有“横跨,横穿,穿越”之意。 例如:
The Great Green Wall is across the northwest of China.
绿色长城横跨中国西北。
(2) through是介词,“在……之中,透过”的意思,主要
表示从物体内部穿过。如穿过森林、隧洞等。例如:
The two friends were walking through the forest.
这两个朋友正沿着森林走。
5. But he is not afraid. 但是他不害怕。
afraid adj. 害怕的;畏惧的
Are you afraid of snakes?
你怕蛇吗?
Children feel afraid when they are at home alone.
孩子独自自己在家, 感到害怕。
I’m afraid to speak in front of other people.
我害怕在其他人面前发言。
be afraid to do sth. 害怕做某事

afraid of v -ing 怕做某事
注意:1. afraid是表语形容词
2. I am afraid有时指I am sorry。
I'm afraid we can't come.
很抱歉,我们不能来。
6. He’s like a father to me.
对于我来说,他像一个父亲。
like prep. 像
The baby is like his mother.
