知识点：
1． 形容词，副词的比较等级考查热点透视：
a.表示A与B在程度上相同时， “as+形容词或副词的原级+as”结构。表示A不如B时，可用“not as/so+形容词或副词的原级+as”结构。
b.表示A比B在程度上“更…..”时，可用“形容词或副词的比较级+than”结构
c.表示三者或三者以上的比较，其中一个在程度上“最…..”时，常用“the+形容词或副词的最高级”结构，后面可带“of/in的短语”来说明比较的范围。（注意：副词的最高级在句中常省略“the”.）
d.在形容词或副词的比较级前，可以用“a little, even, far, much,still”的等词语来修饰，以加强语气。
e.表示“越来越….”时，常用“形容词或副词的比较级+and+形容词或副词的比较级”结构，但要注意，对于多音节和部分双音节形容词，副词而言，若要表达此意时，要用“more and more+形容词或副词的原级“结构。
f.在表示“其中最….之一“的含义时，常使用 “one of+the+形容词最高级形式+名词复数”结构，其中的定冠词the不可以省略。
g.如果强调“两者中比较…的（一个）”的意思时，可使用“the+形容词比较级+其它”结构。
h.表示“越….越….”, 可使用“the+形容词或副词的比较级，the+形容词或副词的比较级”结构。
2． 几个相似的“It句型”
A.It’s +adj.+ that从句：在该句型中，it代替that从句，形容词用来说明that从句内容的性质。如，It’s polite that you always give seats to the elderly on the bus.
B.It’s +adj.+to do sth.在该句型中，it代替to do sth的内容，形容词用来说明to do sth的性质。如，It’s useful to remember lots of words before the exams.
C.It’s +adj.+for sb. to do sth.在该句型中，it代替to do sth的内容，形容词用来强调to do sth就sb而言的性质（常见的形容词有possible, important, necessary, difficult）
D.It’s +adj.+of sb. to do sth.在该句型中，it代替to do sth.的内容，形容词用来强调of后所接宾语本身的性质（常见的形容词有kind, rude, clever, foolish, polite）.
3.一般将来时
a)般将来时的构成：由助动词shall或will加动词原形构成，shall用于第一人称。在口语中，will在名词或代词后常简略为’ll， will not常简略为won’t。这个时态的肯定，否定和疑问结构可表示如下：
肯定句 否定句 疑问句
I (We)shall(will) go.
You(He, She, They) will go. I(We)shall(will) not go.
You(He, She, They)will not go. Shall I(we) go?
Will you (he, she, they) go?
用”be going to +动词原形”也可表示将来时，表示将要发生的事，打算或决定要做的事。
I think it is going to snow.我看要下雪。
b)一般将来时的用法：1）表示将要发生的动作或情况；2） 不以人的意志为转移，肯定要发生的事情。
The day after tomorrow will be National Day.后天是国庆日。
4. in/after:in是指以现在时间为起点的“在一段时间以后”。也可以表示“在将来多少时间之内”，句子中的谓语动词要用一般将来时态；after常指以过去时间为起点的“一段时间之后”，所以它与过去时态连用。当after指某个特定的未来时刻或日期之后，或指以将来某一时间为起点的若干时间之后时，它可以与将来时态连用。
5.more, less, fewer的用法区别：more为many, much的比较级，意为“更多”，可修饰可数与不可数名词。Less是little的比较级，意为“更好，较少”，修饰不可数名词。Fewer是few的比较级，意为“更少”，修饰可数名词复数。
【注意】few, little表示否定“几乎没有”。a few, a little表示肯定“一点，几个”。如，
Because he often stays at home, he has few friends. He is poor, so he has little money.
6.there be与have的区别：1）含义不同。there be表示的是“某地（时）有某人（物）”，强调“存在关系”。Have则表示“某人（物）所有”，强调“所属关系”。如，
There is a bus in your factory.（公共汽车不一定属于我们厂所有）
Our factory has a bus.（公共汽车属于我们厂所有）
2）句型不同。there be句型为“There be +某人（物）+某时（地）”；have 句型为“某人（物）+have(has)+某物（人）。如There isn’t a cat under the chair. She doesn’t have two brothers.
3)当表示某物的构成和组成部分时，用there be和have 均可。如，
Our school has sixty classes.= There are sixty classes in our school.我们学校有60个班。
【注意】there be句型中有两个或多个并列主语时，须根据就近原则，be与最靠近的主语在数上保持一致。如，There are two eggs and a cup of milk on the table.
There be句型的将来时表达方式:肯定：There will be…否定：There won’t be…一般疑问句：Will there be….? Yes, there will. No, there won’t.
7. be worth doing值得；be worthy of doing, be worthy to do值得
8．Seem的用法：1)seem to do似乎…He seems to think so.2)It seems that看来…It seems that he is lying. 3) seem +adj./n.好象是… He seems ill.
9.would like sth意思为“想要某物“； would like to do意思为”想要做某事“。回答would like句型的一般疑问句时，其肯定回答为 “Yes, please.”;否定回答“No, thanks”或 “I’d like /love to, but….”
10.make sb. do; make +n+adj.; make friends with sb.; make +n./ pron.+n.
11. Such作形容词，意思是“如此的”“这样的”，修饰各种名词。
Such这样的。如It is such bad weather.天气如此恶劣。
Such常和as搭配，表示一种类别。如We enjoy such a voice as hers.我们喜欢象她那样的嗓子。
Such常和表示结果的that从句搭配，表示“如此….以至于…”如
It was such a hot day that we all had to stay at home.
Such…that…和so…that…都可用来引出一个结果状语从句。由于such是形容词，所以that从句前有一个
such修饰的名词；而so 是副词，用以修饰形容词或副词，因此that从句前一般不出现名词。如
They are such kind-hearted teachers that people in the village all respect them.
The exam was so difficult that many students failed to pass it.
a) 如果名词是可数名词的单数形式，such和so的位置不同：
such+a/an+形容词+单数名词
so+形容词+a/an+单数名词
b) 如果名词是不可数名词或名词复数，只可用such,不能用so.:
such+形容词+不可数名词或复数名词
c) 如果被修饰的不可数名词被much, little, 或复数名词被many, few等表示量的形容词修饰时，用so，不用such.
d) 当little表示“年纪小的”时，可用such+little+名词
There were such little children that they couldn’t clean the room.
12. people, person, folks, human: people“人们“全体；person “人”（不分年龄，性别它包括men, women, children.它可做people的单数形式可以说every person但不能说one people. Person指“人们”时着重个体；folks“人们”，指一般人或特殊年龄位置，境遇等特殊级的人；human主要用来区别于其他动物。
13．be able to 为“能，会”，表示能力，在这个意义上与can的意思相同，一般情况下两者可以互换，但can只有现在式和过去式（could）而be able to则用于更多的时态，主要体现在be的变化。两者在用法上有一些差异：can （could）表示主观能力不表示意愿，它的将来时用will be able to而 be able to表示主观意愿强调克服困难做某事。
14．feed-fed-fed. feed sth to sb把…食物给…;feed sb on sth以……为主食喂养某人
15可数名词复数的构成有如下规则：
①一般加-s，如：desk→desks book-books, radio-radios, play-palys, girl-girls, boy-boys, house-houses
② s, x, ch, sh结尾加-es，如：bus→buses, watch→watches , box-boxes, brush-brushes, fox--foxes
③以 f, fe结尾，改f, fe为v，再加-es，如：leaf→leaves , knife-knives, wife-wives,
④以“辅音字母＋y”结尾，改y为i，再加-es，如city→cities , story-stories, family--families
⑤以“辅音字母＋o”结尾，加-es，如：tomato →tomatoes , potato-potatoes; hero--heroes
⑥一般复合名词，只将主体名词变复数，如： boy student→boy students
⑦以 man, woman开头和结尾的复合名词，规则不同： Frenchman→Frenchmen, woman teacher→women teachers
⑧不规则变化： foot→feet, child→children
单、复数同形的情况：sheep→sheep, Chinese→Chinese（中国人） , Japanese-Japanese, fish-fish, deer-deer
只有复数形式的情况： people, clothes, trousers , glasses, gloves, shoes需要背诵的是：第6页的3a

Venice is a city in Italy. Every year thousands of people visit the city.
Why do they go there? Because Venice is a beautiful city. There are no roads in the city so there aren't any cars or buses. There are canals. There is one big canal and 177 small ones . People move up and down the canals by boat .But Venice is sinking . It is going down and the water is going up. In 2040 Venice will be under water. The Adriatic will cover the city.
