中例题解析
10) C错。改为to the one.
11) C错。应用the other,因为此处表示两者之中的另一个,Art Tatum为人的名字,他只有两只眼睛,故提到“另一只”时应用the other.
六、 “few”和“little”两者分别为“many”和“much”的反义词,表示“少,很少”的意思,有否定含义,即等于“几乎没有”,如若表示肯定的含义,则应在little和few前加不定冠词“a”,即变为“a few”和“a little”
12) Because they are generally [A] taken simply to obtain a recognizable [B] and relatively clear [C] image, most nonprefessional photographs demand few [D] equipment.
例题解析
12) D错。应改用little,因为equipment为不可数名词,故其修饰语应用little,few后面只接可数复数名词。
七、 “a great deal (of)” (大量)只作为限定语修饰不可数名词或在句中指代不可数名词作主语或宾语
13) of giftgiving, barter, buying and selling goes on among the Narvjos.
[A] A great deal [B] A great many [C] Much greater [D] Many
例题解析
13) A为正确答案。空白后为不可数名词“giftgiving, barter, buying”,“[B] A great amny”和“[D] Many”修饰可数名词,而“[C] Much greater”本身是形容词,空档后不应有“of”, 所以填“[A] A great deal of”。
八、“nothing but”表示“只不过,就是,只有”
He is nothing but a singer. 他只不过是个唱歌的。
Nothing but a miracle can save us. 只有奇迹才能救我们。
九、“anything but” 表示“根本不,并不”
She is anything but beautiful. 她并不美。
John is anything but a liar. 约翰决不是个骗子。
十、“something of” 表示“略有”
He has seen something of life. 他略有阅历。
I’m something of a cook. 我略懂烹饪。
(试比较)
He is not much of a scholar. 他算不上个很好(高明)的学者。
十一、“none other than”表示“就是”
The new arrival was none other than the President. 刚到的那人就是总统本人。
我们要注意none other than 与 other than 的区别,后者表示“与……不同”
I do not wish him other than he is. 我不希望他改变现状。
The truth is quite other than what we think. 事实与我们所想的不一样。
十二、“none”有时可作副词,表示“一点也不”
We did the work none too well. 我们活干得一点也不好。
十三、nowhere可用以成语:be nowhere一无所得,一事无成;get nowhere一事无成,nowhere near离……很远。
十四、有些不定代词同时也是形容词,或有其他的含义
He is all attention, and she is all eyes. 他十分留意,她也注意力集中。
Everybody who is anybody (somebody) at all will be at the dance.
[句中的“anybody(somebody)”在此当“大人物,重要人物”讲。]
