同、近義詞辨析
1．likely, possible 與probable
（1）三者均表可能性，但意思有別。possible指客觀上有可能性，但往往含有希望很小的意味；probable比possible可能性稍大，有“較為可能、大概”，指有實際依據；likely是從外表跡象判斷有可能發生的事。 eg：
It’s possible, though not probable, that he will come tomorrow. 他明天可能來，但也不一定準來。
She is likely to ring me tonight. 今晚她很可能給我來電話。
（2）possible 不能用人做主語。possible 常用于下列句型：
It is possible to do sth. It is possible for sb. to do sth.
It is possible that … eg:
Is it possible to say so?可能這樣說嗎？
It is possible for me to do it. 我可能做那件事。
（3）probable 也不能用人做主語。一般只用于下面句型中：
It is probable that … eg:
It is probable that he will come. 他很可能要來。
（4）likely 既可用人作主語，也可用物做主語。通可用于“It is likely that …”句型中。 eg:
He is likely to come. = It is likely that he will come. 他可能要來。但不能說：It is likely for him to come.
（5）impossible, improbable, unlikely 用法與上述類似。
2．catch, grasp, seize 與snatch
catch是普通用語，用“設法抓住，捉住”的意思； grasp表示牢牢地“抓住”；seize指“突然用力抓住使不逃脫”；snatch 表示迅速的拉扯動作、出其不意地“抓取”。 eg:
The police caught the thief as he ran. 小偷逃跑時被警察抓住了。
He grasped his gun and rushed out. 他抓起槍就沖了出去。
He seized the gun from the enemy soldier. 他從敵人士兵手中奪過了槍。
The thief snatched her handbag and ran off. 小偷搶走了她的手提包就跑了。
知識點補充
1．Whatever great achievements the future may have in store for China, it is likely that many of them will be born in northwestern Beijing. 無論中國將來會有什么樣的成就，其中許多可能就誕生在北京的西北部。
（1）in store 就要到來，必將發生 eg:
Who knows what the future has in store for us? 誰知道我們將來注定如何？
（2）in store 也有儲存著，備用的意思 eg:
The runner kept some energy in store for spurting at the end. 那名賽跑的人為最后沖刺貯存精力。
2． Zhongguancun was set up as a special economic zone in the late 1990s and quickly became the leader of China’s hi-tech industry. 在20世界90年代末中關村作為高新科技特區被創立并迅速成為中國高科技工業的先鋒。
（1）set up-establish 建立 eg:
The government has set up a working party to look into the problem. 政府成立工作組調查此問題。
（2）in the late 1990s 又可寫成in the late 1990’s 二十世紀九十年代末
in the early 1980s 二十世紀八十年代初
（3）hi-tech= high technology 高科技，高技術
3． When I got my master’s degree, I wanted to return home but couldn’t find a company where I could use what I had learnt. 當我獲得碩士學位時，我想回到家鄉，可是我沒能找到學有所用的公司。
（1）本句是一個復合句。When I got my master’s degree 為時間狀語從句，修飾主句謂語動詞wanted。wanted和couldn’t find為并列謂語動詞，由并列連詞but連接。where I could use what I had learnt為定語從句，修飾先行詞company。what I had learnt 為賓語從句。
（2）a master’s degree 碩士學位 a doctor’s degree 博士學位a bachelor’s degree 學士學位
又如：Master of Arts 文學碩士 Doctor of Law 法學博士Bachelor of Science 理學學士
4．I will never forget how happy I was when I set foot in China again and was back with my friends and family. 我永遠不會忘記當再次踏上中國土地和我的朋友及親人團聚時，那種感覺有多幸福。
（1）本句是復合句。How happy I was …為賓語從句。when I set foot in China again and was back with … 為時間狀語從句。
（2）set foot in/on 進入，踏進 eg:
She said she wouldn’t set foot in the room until it had been properly cleaned.
她說直到這屋子收拾好了她才住進去。
No man has ever set foot on that deserted island. 沒有人曾光顧過那個荒蕪的島。
5． “Relying on science, technology, and knowledge to increase economic power”- makes it clear that science and business can and must work together to build the future. “依靠科學，技術，知識發展經常”，它闡明了科學和商業能夠且必須結合在一起共創未來。
（1）此句為復合句。it為形式賓語，代表that引導的賓語從句。
（2）rely on/upon信賴，依賴 eg: He can always be relied upon or help. 他的幫助是永遠可依賴的。
You may rely on my early arrival. 你放心好了，我會早到的。
（3）make…clear 表明，講清楚 eg:
Have I made myself clear? 我講清楚了嗎？
They wanted to make it clear that they did an important and necessary job. 他們想說明他們做著一項重要且必要的工作。
6． …but we are excited about all the new technology and great ideas that are coming to life in Zhongguanzun. 但是我們為所有這些在中關村富有活力的新技術和卓越的想法而感到激動。
（1）that are coming to life in Zhongguancun 為定語從句，修飾先行詞ideas。
（2）come to life 蘇醒；恢復生氣 eg:
We all thought he was drowned, but after an hour’s artificial respiration he came back to life.
我們都以為他淹死了，但經過一小時的人工呼吸后，他又蘇醒了。
When I told the students the good news, they all came to life.
當我告訴學生們這個好消息時，他們都活躍起來了。
典型病句診斷
1． 病句：Yufang has come to China for three years.
診斷：Yufang has been in China for three years.
點撥：come為終止性動詞，用于現在完成時時態，不能與表一段時間的狀語連用。
2． 病句：Where has he gone is to be found out.
診斷：Where he has gone is to be found out.
點撥：主語從句應用陳述句語序。
3． 病句：When I got my master’s degree, I wanted to return back to China.
診斷：When I got my master’s degree, I wanted to return to China.
點撥：return意思是“come back”，不與back連用。
4． 病句：I would rather you tell me the truth.
診斷：I would rather you told me the truth.
點撥：would rather 后面帶的賓語從句表示一種愿望，動詞要用過去式來表示虛擬語氣。
5． 病句：The old man stays very health.
診斷：The old man stays very healthy.
點撥：stay為系動詞，意為“保持（狀態）”，后用形容詞作表語。
6． 病句：Great changes have been taken place in China.
診斷：Great changes have taken place in China.
點撥：take place “發生，舉行”，不用被動語態。
7． 病句：This lesson is more easier than that one.
診斷：This lesson is much easier than that one.
點撥：形容詞比較級前不可用more, 而可以用much, even, still, a great deal, a lot, far等加強語氣。
8． 病句：All the answers are not correct. I can’t find one correct answer.
診斷：None of the answers are correct. I can’t find one correct answer.

9． 病句：I don’t like the way which you speak to me.

典型例題精析
<1>Chinese arts have won the ________ of a lot of people outside China.
A.enjoyment B.appreciation
C.entertainment D.reputation
解析：enjoyment意為“快樂，高興”；appreciation意為“欣賞”；entertainment意為“招待，對待”；reputation意為“名譽，名聲”，根據句意來看選B項。答案：B
<2>The environmentalists said wild goats, ________ on the vast grasslands was a good phenomenon of the better environment.
A.escape B.absence
C.attendance D.appearance
解析：該題也是一個詞匯辨析題，同時也考查構詞法知識。escape意為“逃跑，避免”，absence意為“缺席”，attendance意為“到場、出席，護理、照料”，這三個詞都與句意不相符，只有appearance“出現”符合題意。答案：D
<3>Mr. Smith used to smoke ________ but he has given it up now.
A.seriously B.heavily
C.badly D.hardly
解析：該題考查詞義辨析、動詞搭配和構詞法知識。從詞義上看，hardly為頻度副詞，要放在謂語動詞的前面，首先應將D選項排除掉。另外三個詞均為方式副詞，雖然都可以置于不及物動詞之后，但含義搭配各不相同。只有heavily習慣上與 “drink, smoke, rain, snow” 等動詞搭配。故B為正確選項。答案：B
思路開拓
1.(2004年高考全國卷Ⅰ)Sarah, hurry up. I’m afraid you can’t have time to before the party.
A.get changed B.get change C.get changing D.get to change
解析：本題考查get的用法。題意是“薩拉，快點吧!恐怕在宴會前你沒時間換衣服”。get可用作系動詞，后接過去分詞，表示被動語態，如：get lost“迷路”，get dressed“穿上衣服”，get injured“受傷”，get paid“領取工資”等。此處get changed意為“換衣服”。答案為A。又如本單元課文中的一句話：The centre itself got started in the early 1980s, when Chen Chunxian, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, opened a private research and development institute.答案：A
2.(2004年高考湖南卷)I work in a business almost everyone is waiting for a great chance.
A.how B.which C.where D.that
解析：本題考查定語從句。題意是“我在一家公司上班，在這里幾乎每個人都在等待著飛黃騰達的機會”。句中almost everyone is waiting for a great chance是一個定語從句，修飾前面的先行詞business。由句子的結構可知，business在定語從句中應是作地點狀語，即almost everyone is waiting for a great chance in the business，故引導詞要用關系副詞where。答案為C。又如本單元課文中的一句話：I want to return home but couldn’t find a company where I could use what I had learnt.答案：C
3.(2004年高考北京卷)Now that she is out of a job, Lucy going back to school, but she hasn’t decided yet.
A.had considered B.has been considering
C.considered D.is going to consider
解析：本題考查動詞的時態區別。從題干中的is和hasn’t decided兩個動作來看，句子用的是現在時態，根據時態一致原則，可先排除A、C兩項。題意是“露西失業了，她一直在考慮回去上學，但還沒有最終決定”。可知應用現在完成進行時，表示一段時間以來一直在做某事。故答案為B。又如本單元課文中的一句話：Since the early 1990s, China has been enjoying a boom in scientific and technology development. 答案：B
4.(2004年上海春招)Suddenly, a tall man driving a golden carriage the girl and took her away, into the woods.
A.seizing;disappeared B.seized;disappeared
C.seizing;disappearing D.seized;disappearing
解析：本題考查識別句子結構的能力以及非謂語動詞的用法。題意為“突然，一個駕駛著一輛金色馬車的男人搶走了那個女孩，之后消失在那片樹林里”。句子的主語是a tall man；driving a golden carriage是分詞短語作定語；句中的and連接的是謂語動詞seized和took；因為逗號不能起連接作用，故第二個空白處的動詞與前面的seized和took不是并列的謂語動詞，而應是作結果狀語；因為disappear與man是主動關系，故用其現在分詞形式作狀語。答案為D。又如本單元課文中的一句話：In 2001, Chinese scientists announced that they had completed mapping out their part of the international human genome project, proving that Chinese scientists are among the world’s best.答案：D
5.(2003年高考上海卷)The discovery of new evidence led to .
A.the thief having caught B.catching the thief
C.the thief being caught D.the thief to be caught
解析：本題考查動詞短語lead to的用法。lead to意為“導致，引起”，其中to是介詞，后接名詞或動名詞。題意是“新證據的發現導致了那個賊的被捉”。顯然，catch與the thief之間是被動關系，故要用動名詞的被動式。答案為C。又如本單元中的一句話：The programme was started in March 1986 and has led to several breakthroughs in science and technology.答案：C

課文譯文
中關村
不管中國將來會創造出多么偉大的成就，他們很有可能就誕生在北京的西北部。中關村，在北京海淀區，是中國科技的新中心。它是中科院以及北京大學、清華大學等十幾所著名高校的所在地。
中關村在20世紀90年代末的時候才建為一個特別經濟區，但很快就成了中國高新技術工業的領導力量。該中心本身創辦于20世紀80年代初，中科院研究員陳春賢首先在此開辦了一家私人研究發展學院。在接下來的10年里，大約有一百多家科技公司搬到這個地區來，這樣，新的科技中心圍繞著當初的中關村花園發展起來了。他們都有自己的特色，但他們也都有共同點，即:使得中關村成為一個成功典范的創新精神和科學技術。
中關村也擁有一批人數正在逐年增長的海外歸來的學子，他們抓住機會來實現他們的愿望。項余方就是在海外學習工作后歸國的學子之一。中關村實現了利用自己所學為國效力的夢想。
“我在國外求學是因為我想多看一看世界，能和我所研究領域的頂級科學家們一起工作。在國外，我從沒感到很舒適，我想念在中國的一切。獲得碩士學位的時候，我想回國，但苦于找不到一家公司施展我的才學。我在國外工作了幾年，后來我聽說了中關村，我知道它很適合我。”
項余方和幾個在北京的大學同學說了這事，他們安排他回國。他辭去了在外國公司的工作，回到了北京。
“我非常高興，太棒了，就像一個夢想實現了一樣。我能做我想做的并且能為國家作貢獻的事情了，我將永遠不會忘記當我第一腳踏上中國的土地，再次見到我的朋友和家人時我是多么的興奮！”
余方現在已在中國四年了，做得很棒。他住在北京，和兩個朋友以中關村為基地開辦了一家小公司。
中關村不僅對商業，對科學也有積極的影響。現在，中關村大約有八千多家高新技術公司，其中一半以上與IT（信息技術）產業有關。該園里也有中國電腦產業巨頭“聯想”和“方正”以及20多家知名國際公司。中關村的著名格言之一“依靠科學、技術、知識來增強經濟實力”，說明科學和商業能夠并且一定要聯合在一起共建未來。另外一句格言幫我們解釋該園的成功秘訣:“鼓勵創造性工作，接受失敗”。偉大的科學成就都是多年失敗的結晶，多年的嘗試創造以前從未存在的東西。
中關村的科學研究人員都知道，如果他們勇于面對失敗，并且從失敗中學習，他們就能夠達到頂峰。不是所有的公司都能成功的，但他們所代表的創造精神是比金錢都還重要的。正如余方所說:“我們還沒有掙很多錢，但對于中關村所激活的新技術和偉大的想法我們激動不已”。
綜合技能
火熱的成就
中國的歷史充滿了科技方面的偉大成就。自從20世紀90年代以來，中國的科技迅猛發展。中國政府提出“科技興國”戰略；在科技方面已經獲得了許多重大突破。結果是顯而易見的。
空間探索
CSA，中國航天部，已經成功地研發了長征系列火箭。這些火箭很安全，已經用來向太空發射衛星，并且準備發射我們國家第一次載人太空飛行。
探索生命奧秘
中國在利用基因技術提高農業產量方面一直都處于領先位置。最重要的成就之一就是一種能增加產量的水稻。在過去的二十年時間里，中國加入了研究人類身體的國際組織。2001年，中國科學家宣布，他們已經成功地完成了他們那一部分的國際人類基因組測序工程，再一次證明中國科學家是全球最棒的。
電子革命
中國可以說是一眼就愛上了比特。互聯網正在越來越受歡迎，一種新的寬帶互聯網即將問世。中國計算機工程師們研發了神威級超級計算機，運算速度，世界第48位，還研制了第一代人工智能機器人。
