1. 【句型回顾】—How often do you watch TV?—Twice a week. ——你多久看一次电视? ——一个星期两次。
【解析】how long, how soon, how far, how often的区别:
how long意为“多长”,一般意为“多长时间,多长的长度”;how soon意为“还有多长时间”,用于将来时中对将来的时间提问。
how far表示“多远、多长”,主要用于对距离的提问。抽象意义可表示 “(某事或某物进展)到什么范围或程度”;how often意为“多久”,但这里的多久指的是时间频率。其回答多用频度副词always, often, never或 twice a week, three times a day等。例:
—How often do you play the piano? —Once a week.
—How long did you stay here? —For two hours.
【典型例题】1)— __________do you usually exercise?
—I usually exercise every morning.
A. How far B. How long C. How often
2)—__________do you visit your grandmother in the countryside?
—Once a month.
A. How far B. How long C. How soon D. How often
【答案剖析】1)C. every morning为频度副词,应用how often提问。
2)D. once a month为频度副词, 表示“一个月一次”,所以选D.
2. 【句型回顾】The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week. 另外10%的人每周至少使用三到四次。
【解析】ten percent 百分之十, percent后不加s。例:85 percent 百分之八十五。
least是little的最高级,它的比较级是less; at least表示“至少”。
other, others, the other, the others, another的区别:
other可作形容词或代词,作形容词时,意思是“别的,其他的”;作代词时,泛指“其他的(人或物)”;others是other的复数形式,泛指“另外几个,其余的”,在句中可作主语、宾语。
the other指“两个人或物中的另一个”,此时的other作代词。the other后可加单数名词,也可加复数名词,此时的other作形容词。the others意思是“其他东西,其余的人”,特指某一范围内的“其他的(人或物)”,是the other的复数形式,the others = the other + 复数名词;another既可作形容词,也可作代词,泛指同类事物中的三者或三者以上的“另一个”,只能代替或修饰单数可数名词。例:
He has two daughters. One is a nurse, the other is a worker.
I don’t like this one. Please show me another.
Do you have any other question(s)?
【典型例题】The school offers two courses on computer technology. One is for beginners and __________is for those who already have some basic knowledge.
