[句型归纳]

[考点l]Maybe it is time for the rest of society to accept

me as I am and get used to the fact that while I may not

be able to walk, there are many other great things I can

do. 或许现在是让社会上其他人接受我的现状并习惯

我虽不能走路，但我仍可做很多的事实的时候了。

本句要注意used to的用法。它的搭配及用法是：used

to do"过去常做某事”，暗示现在已不再如此；be used to

do意为“被用来做某事” be / get used to doing 意为

“已习惯了做某事”。例如：

I used to live here. 我过去住这儿。(现在不再住这儿)

A watcb is used to tell us time. 手表是用来看时间的。

I'm used to getting up and going to bed early. 我习惯于

早起早睡。

与would的用法比较：

① wonld与used to都可用来表示过去经常性或习惯性

　 的动作，常常可以换用。例如：

　 When we were boys we used to / would go swimming

　 every summer. 小时候，每到夏天我们都要去游泳。

② would 与 used to 都不能用来表示动作发生的具体频

　 度或具体的一段时间。

③ used to 可指过去的状态或情况，would则不能。例

　 如：

　 School children used to know the story of how Abra-

　 ham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he'd

　 overcharged a customer. (不能用would)过去，学校

　 的孩子们都知道亚伯拉罕·林肯是怎样步行5英里

　 去退还多收顾客的1便士的故事。

④ would 表示反复发生的动作。如果某一动作没有反

　 复性，就不能用would。只能用used to。例如：

　 And ftom that day on, as soon as the table was

　 cleared and the dishes were gone, Mother would dis-

　 appear into her sewing room to practice. 从那天起，只

　 要碗盘撤掉、饭桌一清理干净，妈妈就马上躲进做针

　 线活的房间练习起来。(具有反复性)

⑤ used to 表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作或状态现在

　 已经结束，would 则表示有可能再发生。例如：

　 People used to believe that the earth was flat. 过去，

　 人们总以为地球是扁平的。(现在已不再这样认为)

　 He would go to the park as soon as he was free. 过

　 去，他一有空就去公园。(现在有可能再去)

[考例l]Mother ____ us stories when we were

young.

　　 A. was used to teIl　　 B. is used to teIJing

　　 C. used to tell　　 D. used to telling

[考查目标]本题考查含有 used 短语的用法。

[答案与解析]C　 选项A表示“被用来做某事”；选项B

表示“已习惯于做某事”；选项c表示“过去常做”；选项

D搭配不对。该题应意为“过去常做某事”，要用used

to do sth句型。

[考点2]They not only learn how to assist disabled peo-

pie。but also learn the importance Of cooperating to reach

their goals in life. 他们不仅学会了怎样帮助残疾人，还

知道了在生活中若想实现目标。合作是非常重要的。

not only…but also是连词，可以连接主语、谓语、宾语、

状语等。要注意的是，当它连接两个句子的时候，not

only放在句首时后面的句子要用倒装。

[考例2](2004上海) ____ snacks and drinks, but

they also brought cards for entertainment when they

had a picnic in the forest.

　　 A. Not only they brought

　　 B. Not only did they bring

　　 C. Not only brought they

[考查目标]本题考查not only...but also连接两个句子

且not only居句首时后面的句子要用倒装，而且是部分

倒装。

[考点3]She was telling lIS about her sick mother when

she suddenly broke into tears. 她正在向我们讲述她生病

的母亲，讲着讲着她突然哭了。

本句中，when是并列连词，表示“就在这时”。

family in a wildlife park ____ she was bitten on the

leg by a lion.

　　 A. when　 B. while　 C. since　 D. once

[考查目标] 本题考查考生对状语从句与并列句的运用

能力与辨别能力。

[答案与解析]A　 本句的重点是要抓住“was / were

doing sth when + 一般过去时态”这一结构，表达的含义

为“正在干某事的时候突然……”。

[考点4]Now that we are developing new technology at

such a high pace, the true challenge is to find new ways

of using it. 既然我们已经在以这么快的速度发展新技

术。那么真正的挑战就是找到新的方法去利用这些新

技术。

本句要注意now that的用法。now that表示“既然”、

“由于”。引导原因状语从句，比较口语化，在口语中，还

可省去that。例如：

Now that you have grown up, you must stop this child-

ish behavior. 既然已经长大，你就必须停止这种幼稚行

为。

Now that you have grown up, you should not rely on

your parents. 既然已经长大，你就不应该再依靠父母。

[考例4](NMET 1999) ____ you've got a chance,

you might as well make full use of it.

　　 A. Now that　　 B. After

　　 C. Although　　 D. As soon as

[考查目标] 本题考查连词的用法。

[答案与解析]A　 引导不同类型的状语从句，则要根据

全句的意思选择适当的连词。选项A中的now that表

示“既然”，用于引导原因状语从句；选项B中的 after

表示“在……之后”，用于引导时间状语从句；选项C中

的although表示“虽然”，用于引导让步状语从句；选项

D中的as soon as表示“一……就……”，用于引导时间

状语从句。本题意为“既然你已经有了机会，就应该充

分利用”。
