　A. everything B. anything

　C. something D. nothing

　[解析] 答案为A。本题考查部分否定句用法。all， both和every系列词(everyone， everybody， everything等)用于否定句为部分否 定(参见上文)。所以选A。

　例2 单项填空On Children s Day， all the kids often colorful clothes.

　\ A. put on B. wear C. dress D. have

　[解析] 答案为B。根据语境，这里的动词必须表状态，所以A不对;C表状态该用be dressed in，同时dress也不能用clothes作宾语;D项要加上on才表穿着的状态。所以选B。

　例3 　All the rooms are with electric light.A. supplied B. given C. offered D. burnt[解析] 答案为A。根据语境，只能选A，表示所有房间都“装备，配备”了电灯。

　Both you and I are students.(连接两个并列主语)

　Lesson 24

7.Not all the parts of the car will be made in the factory.汽车上的部件不都是由这个厂子制造的。not...all及all...not意思是“并非全部都……”，“并不是所有的……”，表示部分否定。这一结构有时容易被学生误解。再看以下示例:

　Not all English people like fish and chips.不是所有的英国人都喜欢炸鱼和土豆条。All the boys don t like playing computer games.男孩子不一定都喜欢玩电脑游戏。

　如果表示“全不……”，“所有都不……”，则要借助于No， None等否定词。例如:

　No man is born wise.没有人生来聪明。None of the students could understand his English beˉcause of the strong accent.

　由于他太重的口音，所有的学生都听不懂他的英语。请比较以下两句:

　No one can solve this maths problem.没人能解出这道数学题。

　Not every one can solve this maths problem.不是每个人都能解出这道数学题。

6.They will spend almost 100 million yuan on the project.他们将在这个项目上花一亿元。

　spend+时间/金钱+on sth.意思是“在什么上花时间/金钱”。例如:

　I spent half my money on clothes，我把一半钱花在衣服上了。

　He doesn t spend much time on his homework.他不在作业上花很多时间。

　spend还可以用于下面这个句型。即:spend+时间/金钱+(in)doing sth.。例如:

　He spent all day looking for you.他花了一整天找你。

　The day was spent in packing.这一天被用来整理行李。

5.plenty of
