2018年高考英语复习笔记
1. i find idioms and useful expressions hard to learn. 我发现习语和有用表达很难学。
注意这种结构find + n. + adj. + to do，如：i find this piece of music nice to listen to. 我发现这支乐曲很好听。 he found his cousin difficult to get along with. 他发现他的堂兄很难相处。
2. he made such rapid progress that before long he began to write articles in english for an american newspaper. 他进步很快，不久就开始用英语给美国一家报纸撰稿。when he wrote one of his great works, the civil war in france, he had mastered the language so well that he was able to write the book in english. 当他撰写他的一部巨著《法兰西内战》时，他已经熟练掌握英语，能用英语写这部书了。
such…that…和下面一句so…that…一样都是表达“如此…以至于”的意思，都用来引导结果状语从句。区别在于such后接名词，而so后是接形容词或副词。如：he is such a clever boy that we all like him. 或he is so clever that we all like him. 他是那么聪明，我们都喜欢他。又如：the milu deer are such lovely animals that people do their best to protect them. 麋鹿是如此可爱的动物，人们尽一切努力来保护它们。 it was such fine weather that he wanted to go out for a walk. 天这么好，他很想出去散散步。
1. how are you getting on with your english lessons? 你的英语课学得怎么样了？
how are you getting on/along ( with your studies / work / business, etc.)?是一个常用的交际用语，用来询问对方的生活情况或健康状况，如：how are you getting on with your studies? 你学习怎样？答语常说：i’m getting on well /nicely /badly. thank you . 又如：at first he didn’t get on so well with his biology experiment. 开始时，他的生物实验进展并不顺利。注：get on with sb. 与某人相处：how are you getting on with your friends? 你同朋友们相处得怎样？
2. often the little words have meanings of their own. 这些小词常常都有自己本身的意思。
词组of one’s own “属于自己的(belonging to oneself and no one else)”，如：he’d like a car of his own. 他喜欢有辆自己的车。do you have a mind of your own? 你自己有主见吗？
3. the woodcutter was standing next to a fallen tree, with lots of small pieces of wood in front of him. 伐木工人正站在一棵倒下的树旁，他的前面有很多小片的木头。
过去分词可作定语，如：fallen leaves 落叶、developed countries 发达国家、boiled water 开水、written exercises 书面作业等。注意介词with的复合结构with + 名词 + 介词短语，在句中作方式状语，如：she returned from shopping, with a new hat on her head. 她买东西回来了，头上带着一顶帽子。the girl stood there with a lot of toys around her. 女孩站在那里，四周都是玩具。
4. when he was still a young man, he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons. 当他还在青年时代，就由于政治原因被迫离开了祖国。
