Unit 9考点透视与点拨
1. New functions are being added to the phones.(Reading)
[考点] add...to...意为“把……添加到……”;add to意为“增添,增加”;add up to意为“总计共达”。
[考例] The engine of the ship was out of order and the bad weather _______ the helplessness of the crew at sea.(上海2003)
A. added to B. resulted from
C. turned out D. made up
[点拨] result from意为“由……造成, 因……而产生”;turn out意为“关掉(电灯或煤气); 结果是”;make up意为“编造; 构成”。根据题意,“发动机出了问题”,“恶劣天气”当然是“增添了出海船员的无助”,故选A。
2. She says that her cellphone helps her do whatever she wants to do and still stay in touch with her parents and friends.(Reading)
[考点] whatever既可引导名词性从句(主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句),也可引导让步状语从句。引导让步状语从句时,其相当于no matter what。whatever可在从句中作主语、宾语、表语等成分。本句中whatever引导宾语从句,并在从句中作动词do的宾语。
[考例] These wild flowers are so special I would do _____ I can to save them.(北京2000春)
A. whatever B. that
C. which D. whichever
[点拨]选A。题中whatever I can (do)为名词性从句作动词do的宾语。题意为“这些野花如此的特别,我将尽力救活它们”。
3. In this school, the students still learn about all the wonders of the world - science, art...(Integrating Skills)
[考点] wonder作名词意为“惊异, 奇事, 奇物; 奇迹; 奇观; 奇才”。(It’s)no wonder (that...)意为“难怪……”。
[考例]
- Brad was Jane’s brother!
- _______ he reminded me so
much of Jane!(浙江2004)
A. No doubt B. Above all
C. No wonder D. Of course
[点拨] 由语境可知, 只有C项符合句意。
