四、考点精讲
一、核心词汇
1．perhaps adv.
[考点点拨] perhaps意为“可能”，常位于句首，在句子中作状语，和maybe用法相同，但maybe多用于口语中。用perhaps或maybe时句子中肯定已经有谓语动词。如：
Perhaps/Maybe the weather will get -better.
天气可能会变得好一些。
Perhaps/Maybe Millie is in the school library now.
米莉现在也许在学校图书馆。
情态动词can，could，may，might意为“可能”，此时句子中必须还有其他动词。can用于表示客观的（理论上的）可能性，并不一定会发生；表示具体某件事可能发生时，用could，may或might，三者的语气依次递减。如：
This could/may／might be done by Jim
这件事有可能是吉姆干的。
2．choice n．
[考点点拨] choice选择
make a choice做选择
have no choice but to do sth．别无选择只能做某事
choose（vt．）选择choose—chose—chosen
choose sb．to do sth. 选择某人做某事
sb，is chosen to do sth．某人被选中做某事
- Oh, my God! We have missed the early bus. What shall we do?
哦，我的天啊！我们错过了早班车。我们该怎么办呢？
—I'm afraid we have no choice but to wait.
恐怕我们除了等待别无选择。
I'd like to choose you to be the host.
我愿意选你当主持人。
3．hardly adv．
[考点点拨]hardly意为“几乎不”，不是hard的副词形式，hard既可以作形容词，也可以作副词。hardly是否定词，因此反意疑问句的后一部分要用肯定结构，some要改为any。如：
They can hardly have time to have breakfast now.
他们现在几乎没时间吃早饭。
He can hardly understand it, can he?
他几乎不能明白，是吗？
There is hardly any water in the glass.
杯子里几乎没有水了。
4．doubt vt．
[考点点拨]doubt用作及物动词，可接名词、代词、动名词、带疑问词的动词不定式或从句作宾语。在肯定句中，一般后面接if／whether 引导的从句；在否定句中一般接that引导的从句。如：
I doubt if／whether he has passed the exam.
我怀疑他是否通过了考试。
I don't doubt that she is telling the truth
我不怀疑她说的是事实。
doubt还可以用作可数名词或不可数名词。如：
There is no doubt that we will be successful.
毫无疑问我们将会成功。
二、核心句型
1. The noise almost drives me mad.
噪音几乎使我受不了。
[考点点拨] drive sb. mad使人受不了，其中drive意为“驱使”，指迫使某人处于某种状态或做某事。如：
I believe your questions will drive me crazy.
我相信你的问题将会使我精神错乱。
Those children are driving me to despair.
那些孩子让我都快绝望了。
2.I often doubt whether it is worth spending so much time on homework
我常常怀疑花费这么多时间做家庭作业是否值得。
[考点点拨] be worth doing值得做……
I don)t think this book is worth reading.
我认为这本书不值得看。
These stamps are worth collecting.
这些邮票值得收集。
(1) be worth+名词／代词。如：
This watch is worth 100, 000 yuan,
这块手表值10万元。
(2) worth习惯上不用very修饰，而是用well修饰。如：
This film is well worth watching.
这部电影很值得一看。
(3)在be worth doing结构中，主语是worth后面动名词的逻辑宾语，因此不及物动词后的介词不能省略。如：
这首乐曲值得一听。
误：This piece of music is worth listening.
正：This piece of music is worth listening to.
三、重点语法
1．由特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句
特殊疑问句充当宾语从句时，引导词就用原来的特殊疑闻词，无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，宾语从句都必须用陈述句语序。根据特殊疑问词在从句中所作的不同成分，可分为以下几种情况?
(1)连接词在宾语从句中作主语时，常见的连接词有：
who．what和which等。如：
Do you know which is the nearest planet to the Earth?
你知道哪颗行星距离地球最近吗？
(2)连接词在宾语从句中作宾语、状语或表语时，常见的连接词有：w ho( m)，what，when和how等。如：
We wondered who(m) her brother was waiting for.
我们想知道她的弟弟在等谁。
(3)连接词加名词在宾语从句中作宾语或表语，其中连接词作名词的定语。常见的连接词有：whose，what，which，how many和how much等。如：
Please tell me how many students there are in your class．
请告诉我你们班上有多少名学生。
注意：“What's wrong…?./What's the matter…?／What's the trouble…？”充当宾语从句时语序不变；特殊疑问句中的特殊疑问词作主语时，语序不变。如：
I don't know. What's wrong with you?（合并为一句）
I don't know what's wrong with you
He asked，“What's the matter with you?”（改为间接引语）
He asked what was the matter with me.
2．提出建议
我们可以Why not…．Why don't you…，What/How about…，Let's…和Shall we…礼貌地提出建议。注意各自的用法：
“Why not?”可以独立成句，也可以跟动词原形，意为“为什么不(……)呢？”。
“Why don't you+动词原形？”意为“你为什么不……呢?”。
“What/How about+名词／代词／动名词？”意为“……怎么样？”。
“Let's+动词原形！”意为“咱们……吧！”。
“Shall we+动词原形？”意为“我们……好吗？”。如：
Why not have a break?
为什么不休息一下呢？
Why don't you have a break?
你为什么不休息一下呢？
What/How about this sweater?
这件毛衣怎么样？
What，／How about walking home together after school?
放学后一起步行回家怎么样？
Let's go home together!
咱们一起回家吧！
Shall we have a party next week?
我们下周举办一场聚会好吗？
perhaps也可以用来表示建议。如：
Perhaps you should get there on time.
也许你应该按时到那儿。
