疑难追踪

1

Make a list of the things that consume energy in your home, school, or any other places you can think of.

P33

难句解读

列举一些如家、学校等你能想到的消耗能源的地方。

常用短语make a list of是“列清单”的意思。consume为及物动词,是“消费;消耗;耗尽;吃完”之意。此外,consume还可作“烧毁;毁灭”讲。

例如

Make a list of 10 things which you like doing most?

写一张清单,列出10件你最喜欢做的事情。

I must make a list of things to buy.

我得列个购物清单。

她把大部分时间都花在读书上。

The fire quickly consumed the wooden hut.

火焰很快地吞噬了那所小木屋。

The small village was consumed with flood.

那个小村庄被洪水吞噬了。

难点深究

consume的名词形式为consumer,是“消费者;顾客”之意;consuming为形容词,是“令人着迷的;重要的;强烈的”的意思。

例如:

消费者的需求/权利

Consumers are encouraged to complain about faulty goods.

An energy source is “renewable” when supplies of it never run out and “non renewable”when one day they will run out.

P34

难句解读

我们称用之不竭的资源为“可更新能源”,称最终会枯竭的资源为“不可更新能源”。

run out是“用尽,没有了”之意,为不及物动词短语,无被动形式。

例如

Time is running out for the trapped miners.

被困矿工的时间不多了。

The petrol is running out.

汽油快用光了。

难点深究

run out,run out of的区别:

run out作不及物动词使用,表示become used up(被用完了)的被动含义。其主语通常是时间、金钱、食物等无生命名词;run out of 是三词组成的短语动词,作及物动词用,须接宾语,表示use up(用完)的主动含义,主语只能是人,可用被动形式。

例如:

Their gas is running out.

他们的汽油快用完了。(Their gas has been run out.则是错的)

Her money has ran out.

她的钱很快就用完了。

They has run out of gas./Their gas has been run out of.

increase在此为名词,是“增加,增长”之意;此外,当increase作不及物动词时,是“增长,增加,提高”之意;当increase是及物动词时,作“使增长,提高,增加”讲。例如

这个国家的人口增长了5%。

Our coal output has increased to 6 million tons this year.

我们今年煤炭产量增长到了600万吨。

He increased the size of his company year by year.

他逐年扩大了他的公司规模。

compared to在此为过去分词短语作状语,是“比起……来;与……比较起来”之意,与compared with意义相同。

例如

At present,compared to/with developing countries,developed countries have made more greenhouse gases.

目前,比起发展中国家来,发达国家排放的温室气体更多。

Generally speaking, compared to/with boys girls learn English well.

一般来说,比起男孩子来,女孩子们英语学得更好。

人们常把孩子比作花朵。

Please don’t compare China with Taiwan,because it is only one province of China.

请别把中国和台湾进行比较,因为它仅仅是中国的一个省份。

increase by与increase to的用法区别:

increase by 倍数或百分数,表示“增加了……倍或百分之几”;increase to 具体增长的数字,表示“增加到了……”。

例如:

The rate of inflation increased by 1.5%.

通货膨胀率增长了1.5%。

P34

难句解读

毫无疑问,地球正在变暖.全球变暖是人为的,而不是随意的自然现象。

本句中前两个that分别引导两个并列的同位语从句,在从句中不但当成分,不可省掉。第三个that是强调句型it is…that…,被强调部分human activity是句子的主语。doubt“疑问;疑惑”,为名词,后接由that或whether/if 引导的同位语从句,that从句一般用于否定句或疑问句中;而whether/if从句一般用于肯定句中。doubt作动词用时亦如此。

例如
