二、考點精析與拓展
1. advise; suggest
advise 與suggest 都可作“建議”講，二者用法有同有異。
(1)相同點
表示建議做某事，advise與suggest都可采用下列三種句型:
① + 名詞
② + 動名詞
③ + that從句（從句中常用should加動詞原形，should可以省略。）
eg. He advised/ suggested an early start.
He advised/ suggested (our) starting early.
He advised/ suggested that we (should) start early.
(注：只要是用從句表示建議該做的事，從句中就可用“should+動詞原形”，should可以省略。)上面的第三句可轉化為：
It was suggested that we (should) start early.
What he suggested was that we(should) start early.
His suggestion was that we (should) start early.
(2)不同點
①advise后可以跟人稱代詞作賓語，而suggest后不可以跟人稱代詞作賓語。故可以說：
advise sb. to do sth.; advise sb. against (doing) sth.; advise sb. on/ about sth.; suggest(to sb.)that...
前三種結構中不可將advise改為suggest，如：
他建議我們去參觀博物館。
[正]He advised us to go to visit the museum.
[誤]He suggested us to go to visit the museum.
[誤]He suggested us that we go to visit the museum.
②suggest還有“暗示、表明、說、指出（一個事實）”的意思。此時從句中用陳述語氣，不用虛擬語氣。如：
The smile on his face suggested that he was pleased.
Having examined carefully, the doctor suggested that the patient was seriously ill.(句中suggest陳述了一個事實，故用陳述語氣。)比較：
Having examined carefully, the doctor suggested that the Patient be
operated on at once.(句中suggest表示建議該做某事，從句中用should加動詞原形，should在從句中省略。)
2. except; besides; except for+名詞/except that+句子用法區別。
except 相當于but,表示“除了……以外（不包括在內）”，常與all, nobody,everything,everybody, nowhere等表示整體概念的詞連用。besides相當于apart from，表示“除……以外（尚有）”之義。except for.../except that ...表示“除了……”之意，引述一個相反的原因或細節，因而部分地修正了句中的主要意思。如：Your article is well written except for some grammar mistakes.你的文章寫得好，只是有幾處語法錯誤。
3． in future;in the future; for the future
in future意思是“從今以后”。例如：
In future,be careful with your pronunciation.今后要注意你的發音。
Such a bad habit must be got rid of in future.今后成長須改掉這樣的壞習慣。
in the furture意思是“將來、今后的日期”，但 不一定就是從今立即開始，而是將來的時間。例如：
No one can know what will happen in the future.沒有人知道將來會發生什么事。
My sister wants to be actress in the future.我妹妹將來想當演員。
for the future的意思是“就未來而論、今后”，作“今后”解時可與in future替換使用。例如：
What are your plans for the future when you grow up? 你長大以后對你的未來有什么打算？
For the future, we’ll have to depend on ourselves.今后我們得依靠自己。
4．diet; food
兩者都可作“食物”解。diet指的是習慣上吃的食物或規定要吃的食物，特指維持健康的定量或定質的食物，如病人的療養飲食。food是一般用語。凡能吃喝的具有營養的東西都可稱food.例如：
The Chinese diet is considered to be the healthiest in the world。中國的飲食被認是世界上最健康的飲食。
Proper diet and exercise are both important to health.適當的飲食和鍛煉對健康都很重要。
He is on a special diet to lose weight.他服用特別飲食以減肥。
The doctor put him on a liquid diet after operation.手術之后醫生規定他吃流食。
They eat different kinds of food which change into energy.他們吃的各種各樣的食物都轉化成能量。
His food includes eggs, vegetables, fruit and some soft drinks.他的食物包括雞蛋、蔬菜、水果和一些軟飲料。
5. exmination; exam; test; quiz
examination通常只指正式的“考試”，如期末考試、入學考試等。exam是examination的縮寫，常用于口語，多為學生使用。test為“小考”成“考查”,quiz為“測驗”,特指事先無準備，隨時進行的測驗，也可指（廣播節目中的）一般知識測驗、問答比賽、猜謎等。例如：
He did very well in the entrance examination. 他在入學考試中成績很好。
There’s going to be a physics test this afternoon.今天下午將進行物理考試。
The teacher gave us a five-minute quiz.老師對我們進行了一次五分鐘的小測驗。

三、經典名題導解
題1 （NMET 2002）
Boris has brain. In fact, I doubt whether anyone in the class has _______ IQ.
A. a high B. a higher C. the higher D. the highest
分析：B。higher是形容詞比較級修飾IQ，在此表示“……班上沒有人有更高的智商”，因此是泛指，前面加不定冠詞。
題2 (上海 1996)
I suggest you ________by taking this medicine.
A. to lose weight B. will lose weight
C. lose weight D. are losing weight
分析：C。suggest 后是賓語從句，從句主語you與lose之間省略了 should.
題3 （NMET 1998）
Nobody noticed the thief slip into the house because the lights happened to __________.
A. be put up B.give in C. be turned on D. go out
分析：put up 舉起、搭起、張貼等；give in 投降、屈服；turn on 開、旋開（電燈、自來水等）。go out 為不及物動詞詞組，指“（燈、火等）熄滅”。答案為D。 gone out
When the firemen got there ,the fire had been put out.
救火員到時，火已經熄滅了（撲滅了）。
題4 （NMET 2000春）

題5 (NMET 2000)
I don’t think I’ll need any money but I’ll bring some ______.
A. at last B. in case C. one again D. in time
分析:B。A、B、C、D四個短語意義各不相同，A“最后”；C“再一次”；D“及時”；B“以防；萬一”。從句意來看，應選in case,因為句子暗示“帶一些錢以防（備用）”之意，相當于：I’ll bring some in case I need money.
