初三人教版高頻考點解讀(Unit 18)

作者:杜倩

【考點一】 It was ______ cold ______ everything______.

A. so; that; freeze B. so; that; froze

C. such; that; freeze D. such; that; freezed

【思路解析】此題考查such和so的用法區別及freeze的過去式的問題。so修飾形容詞和副詞,而such修飾名詞,由形容詞cold可知前邊應用so修飾,排除C和D。主句的時態爲一般過去時,that引導的結果狀語從句在此也應爲一般過去時,freeze的過去式是froze,故該題答案爲B。

【知識拓展】(1) freeze做不及物動詞時意爲"be changed into ice",即"結冰;凍結"之意。另外該詞還有"酷寒;凍僵"之意。其過去式和過去分詞分別爲froze,frozen。如:

Salt water freezes at a temperature lower than fresh water.鹽水冰點溫度比清水冰點溫度低。

It must be the wind that makes it so cold. I'm freezing.一定是這場風把天氣颳得這麼冷,我凍得要命。

He hardly froze while waiting for the bus during the snowstorm.他在暴風雪裏等公共汽車時幾乎凍死。

(2)當freeze爲及物動詞時,意思是"使結冰;使凝固",後面可直接跟名詞做賓語。如:

The north wind has frozen the water in the pool in the garden.北風使花園裏的池水結冰了。

be frozen to death表示"凍死"。如:

He is nearly frozen to death, and he needs a hot drink.他幾乎要凍死,他需要一杯熱飲料。

【考點二】 He has made ______ in his work.

A. a good progress B. good progresses

C. good progress D. good a progress

【思路解析】此題考查名詞progress的用法。progress爲"進步"之意,是不可數名詞。所以該題答案爲C。句子意思是"他在工作上取得很大進步。"

【知識拓展】英語中常用make progress + 介詞短語,表示"在......方面取得(......的)進步"。如:

John did not make much progress at school.約翰在學業上進步不大。

He has made great progress in learning how to write.他在學習寫作上有了很大的進步。

【考點三】 在下列選項中選擇一個與劃線部分意思相同或相近的答案。

If we won this match, we would be the top.

A. we would be the last B. we would be the best

C. we would be the worst D. we would lose all games

【思路解析】原句的意思是"如果我們贏了這場比賽,我們將成爲冠軍"。A選項意思是"我們將是最後一位",B的意思是"我們將是最好的",C表示"我們將是最差的",而D則是"我們將輸掉所有的比賽"之意。因此該題答案是B。

【知識拓展】 (1)top是名詞,意思是"the highest point or part"即"頂點;最高部分",反義詞爲bottom(底部)。如:the top of a mountain (a tree,a house),山 (樹,房)頂。另外top還有"上端;上部;最高點;最高地位"之意。如:the top of the page,"書頁的上端",at the top of one's voice,"以最高嗓門",the top of a class,"班上名列前茅者"。如:

In 1924, Mallory and a team of British climbers tried to get to the top of Mount Qomolangma. 1924年,馬洛裏和一支英國登山隊試圖登上珠穆朗瑪峯頂端。

Father Christmas lands on each top of the house, and climbs down into the chimney. 聖誕老人降臨到每家的房頂上,爬到煙囪裏。

(2)top還可以作形容詞,意爲"頂點的;最高的"。如:

The runner set off at top speed.賽跑者以最大速度出發。
