5.Some ancient sites have already been damaged by tourists andvillagers are worried that part of their history will be lost.
辨析: damage, destroy, ruin

Hundreds of houses in the area were damaged by the storm. 数以百计的房屋毁于这场暴雨。
The accident did a lot of damage to his car.
这次车祸使他的车受到了很大损坏。
damage作名词时,常为不可数名词,一般用形容词great, much, serious, a great deal of来修饰;表示轻微损坏,用slight。
damages意为“对损害的赔偿、损害赔偿费”。
Murphy claimed $50,000 damages from his employers for the loss of his right arm while at work.

考点对接
Millions of pounds worth of damage ____ by a storm which swept across the north of England last night.
A. has been caused
B. had been caused
C. will be caused
D. will have been caused
解析:A 因时间是last night,可判断句中的时态应用一般过去时为宜,而不能用将来时和过去完成时,故排除B、C和D。再看A选项,damage作为不可数名词,谓语应为单数,事件发生于昨夜,其后果现在仍存在,对现在还有影响,所以A是最佳选项。
6.So far, more than 200,000 bricks have been returned, but two million such bricks are needed for the repairs.
1)so far“迄今为止”,在句中作状语,谓语动词要用现在完成时态。
So far he has done very well at school.
迄今为止,他在学校的表现相当不错。
I have so far only seen a small part of the park.
到现在为止,我只看到了这个公园的一小部分。
2)repair用作名词时,常用复数形式。
do/carry out repairs to a damaged car
修理受损的汽车。

学校建筑物的修理在夏季进行。
以下短语中repair不用复数
in (good) repair 处于完好状态;
in bad repair年久失修;
out of repair 坏了(不能使用了);
under repair正在修理
3)辨析:as far as和so far as
as far as“到……为止(指实际距离)”,用来表示“远”的程度;或者指“直到……程度(借喻),就……而言”。这种结构中第二个as可以是介词,后跟名词;也可以是连词,连接一个状语从句。
He walked as far as the village where I lived.
他一直走到我住的那个村庄。(后接名词)
The golden rice fields extend as far as the eyes can see. 金黄色的稻田一望无际(一直延伸到眼睛看得到的地方)。(as后接从句the eyes can see)
I will help you as far as I can.
我将尽力帮助你。
So/As far as I know, he can speak only English. 就我所知,他只会讲英语。
值得注意的是,as far as表示同级比较时,可用于肯定句及否定句中。但so far as不可用于肯定句。在“直到……程度”的借喻说法中,现多用so far as。类似的结构很多,如:as much as, as many as, as long as等。
He spends as much as $1,000 a year on books.
他每年的购书费高达1000美元。
He stayed there as long as 3 weeks.
