2．He found it hard to get along with the otherboys.他发现很难与其他的孩子相处。

He found it better that he should get up early in the morning.他觉得早上早点起床要好些。
必背：带有形式宾语的常见动词有：consider、believe、feel.make、find、know、resard等。
切记；it不能代替what从句。

6．Such was Albert Einstein.这就是爱因斯坦。
此句为倒装句，句中的such是代词，意思是“这”或“这些”，在句首指代上文所说的情况，注意本句型是倒装句以及谓语动词的单复数。
Such are the results we have got.这些就是我们取得的成果。

表示“愿意、乐意做某事”，相当于be willing or ready to do sth. 。e. g.
I should be well content to do so. 我很愿意这样干。
(2) content还可以作动词用，一般为及物动词，常用content sb. /oneself(with) 这个词组。e. g.
We should never content ourselves with book knowledge only.
我们切不可满足于仅仅有一点书本知识。
(3) content作不可数名词用时，意为“满足”或表示满意的状态。e. g.
Now she began to live in peace and content.
现在她开始生活平静而满足。
习惯搭配
(1)表示“满足于”的意思，除可用to content oneself with这一动词词组外，还可用形容词短语形式to be content with。e. g.

(2) content常作名词，用于to one's heart's content短语中，意为“尽情地”。e . g.

你过去常到那里去，不是吗?
3. It was said that he found in music the peace which was missing in a world full of wars and killings.
据说，他从音乐中找到了在充满战争与屠杀的世界里所失去的和平。
(1)这是一个由引导词it引导的句子，it是形式主语，that从句是真正的主语，在that从句中又有一个主从复合句，其中主句是he found. . . peace，后跟一个由which引导的定语从句，先行词为peace，介词短语in music作状语。
(2)full of是形容词短语(相当于filled with)，作“充满”解释。
(3)missing在这里是形容词，意为“失去的，找不到的”。
4. The difficulty was how he could prove his ideas to other scientists.
困难在于怎样才能向其他科学家证明他的想法。
由连接副词how引导的从句how he could prove his ideas to other scientists是表语从句。
其他连接副词如when, where, why, because等也可以引导表语从句分别用来说明时间、地点、因果等事实。本课最后一句就是很好的例子：
That is why Einstein and his family left Europe for the USA in 1933.
那就是爱因斯坦和他的家人于1933年离开欧洲去美国的原因。
另外，连接代词that, what也可以引导表语从句。

典型例题
【基础题】
★例1_______was the story that happened to my family last year.
A．What B．Allthat C．Such D．All such
导析：此题中that引导的是定语从句，修饰story，如果去掉定语从句，则留下主句--wasthe story。如用what，句末必须用问号，因此应该用such这个代词。答案：C
★例2 Someone is ringing the doorbelL Go and see_________.
A．whoisit B．whoheis C．whois he D．whoitis
导析：对不明身份性别的人使用代词it，所填结构为宾语从句，语序应为疑问词加上正常语序。答案：D
【易错题】
★★例1
--This jacketdoesn't________me.Do you have a larger size?

★★例2 The suit fitted him well__________the color was a little bright.
A．exceptfor B．except that C．except when D.besides

【创新题】
★★例1_________makes mistakes must correct them．
A．No matter who B．Whoever
C．Anyone D．Who
导析：no matter who只用于作从属连词引导让步状语从句。whoever相当于anybody／those who，作名词从句的主语。根据题意：“无论谁犯了错误都必须改正”。答案：B
★★★例2________fashion differs from country to country may refleet the cul-tural differencesfrom one aspect.
A．What B．That C．This D．Which
导析：that引导主语从句时起连接作用，本身无具体含义，位于句首时多不能省略。答案：B
【高考题】

A．what B．which C．when D．that

【阅读分析】
Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed so me birds sitting on the back of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can man age without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustman”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
1. Some birds like to sit on a sheep because .
A. they can eat its parasites
B. they depend on the sheep for existence
C. they enjoy travelling with the sheep
D. they find the position most comfortable
解析 这是一道细节题。答案是A。文中You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want to ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites on sheep. 便是该题的信息。
2. The underlined word “they” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to .
A. birds and parasites B. birds and sheep
C. parasites and sheep D. sheep, birds and parasites
解析 这是一道所指题。划线单词系指鸟和羊，故B为答案。
3. It can be learnt from the text that the coral depends on the plant for .
A. comfort B. light C. food D. oxygen
解析 这是一道判断题。从文中In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustman”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. 一句可以得出结论，D为该题的正确答案。
4. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence
B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily
C. Some pants depend on each other for food
D. Some animals live better together.
解析 该题要求考生找出第二自然段的中心思想。本段通过例举珊瑚来证明动植物为了生存而相互依靠，故A为最佳答案。
