1.关于make
(1)make当“做、制造”解时,可跟双宾语,间接宾语用for 引导。如:
He’ll make me a kite.=He’ll make a kite for me.他将给我制作一个风筝。
(2)make通常与一些表示动作的名词连用。如:
① make a
study/trip/promise/movement/statement/dive/request/change/fire/demand/
speech/report/face/plan/success/living/difference
②make an
explanation/experiment/excuse/effect/apology…to sb
③ make
preparations/progress/room…for sb
④ make one’s
way/bread tea coffee/up one’s mind/no answer
(3)make作使役动词时,表示 “使……做某事、使……成为“,可跟复合结构,其中的宾补可以是:
①形容词:They are trying
to make our country beautiful.他们在努力使我们的国家变得美丽。
②名词:I would make you
king over the earth.我会使你灰飞烟灭地球之王。
③过去分词:What made him so
frightened?什么使他如此害怕?
④省去to 的不定式:The boy made faces just to make the other students laugh.这个男孩做鬼脸只是为了使其他孩子发笑。
注意:make在被动语态中一定要接带to的不定式。如:
No one is ever made to be hero.没有天生的英雄。
[典例1]The regulations
were made_____ children after the
accidents.
A. protect
B. to protect C.
protecting
D. to be protected
解析 B 在句中因为make用的是被动语态,故其后一定要接带to的不定式,作主语补足语。
⑤构成:make it +adj. +to
do sth./that-clause使(做)某事成为……。
[典例2]The manager,
______it clear to us that he didn’t agree with us ,left the meeting room.(2005·江西卷)
A. who has made B. having
made
C. made
D. making
解析 B 关于make用法的考查。根据句子结构分析可以判断,主句为:The manager left
the meeting room.,中间的部分为分词短语作状语,且动作发生在主句left动作之前,而又并非现在完成时,故排除A。现在分词的完成式先于主句的谓语动词而发生,故选B。
(4)make作“制造、组成”时构成的词组,常使用被动语态。
①成品+be made of +原料(看得出原料)
②成品+be made from+原料(难看或看不出原料)
③原料+be made into+成品
④成品+be made by+执行者\制造者
⑤成品+be made in+地点
⑥物体\组织+be made up of +若干成份
[典例3] The old
cottage can be______ temporary(临时的)houses.
A. made into
B. made of
C. made by
D. made in
解析A 此句句意为:这栋旧别墅可以改装成临时住宅。被动词组be made into符合句意。
(5)make构成的两个常用词组:
①make up(for)弥补,虚构,缝制,化妆,整理等。如:make up jokes编笑话;make up
a poem/a story/a song编诗歌/故事/歌曲。再如:
They hurried on to make up for lost time.
他们加速进行以补回失去的时间。
The boy made up a story; it was not true.
男孩儿编了个故事,这故事不是真的。
She made up her face to look prettier.
她化了妆以便看上去更漂亮些。
[典例4]Everybody in
the village likes Jack because he is good at telling and
______jokes.(2005·江苏卷)
A. turning up B. putting up
C. making up D. showing
up
解析C 动词搭配与辨析。turn up 找到,发现,出现;put up 举起,抬起,进行;show up揭露,露出,露面。而make up jokes为“编笑话”,与句意吻合。
②make
full/good/the best use of 充分利用。如:
We must make the best use of the fine weather.我们必须充分利用这好天气。
Let’s make use of this opportunity to practice our spoken English.让我们好好地利用这个机会来练习英语口语。
