We are likely to make mistakes when learning English.(形容词)
It is likely that we will make mistakes when we learn English.(形容词)We’ll likely make mistakes when we study English.(副词)
likely既可用在sb.is likely to do sth.句型中,也可用在It is likely that...句型中。probable / probably也能表达同样的意思,但用法上需注意:probable只能用在It is probable that...的句型中,而不能说sb.is probable to do sth.所以,下面的句子就是错误的表达:
We are probable to make mistakes when we learn English.9.frown on皱眉; 对⋯⋯表示不满
The father frowned on his son’s behavior.父亲不满他儿子的行为。

The questions put forward at the meeting are of vital importance.会上提出的那些问题极其重要。
vital 如果用在It is + adj.+ that...句型中,从句需要用虚拟语气,即that引导的从句中的谓语动词应当使用should+v.,其中should可以省略。常见的同类形容词还有:important(重要的),essential(紧要的),necessary(必需的),urgent(紧迫的),appropriate(合理的),crucial(关键的)等
It is important that everyone(should)come.重要的是每个人都要来。
It is necessary that he(should)return the dictionary immediately.他必须立即归还那本词典。

only one of 与one of意思不同。only one of 表示“只有这一个,唯一的一个”的意思,定语从句谓语动词要用单数形式,而one of 则表示“⋯⋯之一”的意思,定语从句谓语动词要用复数形式。
Mary is the only one of the girls who wins the prize.玛丽是唯一一个获奖的女孩。Mary is one of the girls who win the prize.玛丽是获奖的女孩子中的一个。在第一个例句中,关系代词who修饰的先行词为the only one of the girls, 表示“唯一的一 个女孩”,定语从句的谓语是单数动词wins,而在第二个例句中,who修饰的先行词为the girls, 所以谓语是win。
favor支持,有利于
常与名词、代词或动名词连用
The court’s decision favored the plaintiff.法庭的判决有利于原告。
Personally, I favor traveling at night when roads are quiet.从我个人来讲,我支持在晚上旅行,那时街道安静。

All the children were involved in the school play.所有的孩子都参加了学校排练的戏剧。
7.The participants were grouped in pairs and asked to role-play a situation in which they both worked at an art gallery.(Para.5)in which相当于where,表示地点,用来引导定语从句。
I will remember the city in which(where)I worked.我将记住我曾经工作过的城市。Keep it in the place in which(where)you can see it.把它放在你看得见的地方。
8.score记分, 得分
He scored 80 points in the examination.他考试得了80分。
Will you score for us when we play?我们打球时你给我们记分好吗?
9.However, the results suggest women aren’t more memorable because people spend more time looking at them.(Para.8)suggest表明,暗示
suggest建议,从句要用虚拟语气
That girl’s sun-tanned face suggests excellent health.那个姑娘被太阳晒黑了的脸表明她身体非常健康。
He suggested that the meeting(should)be postponed.他建议会议延期。
10.not...because...可以构成语义模糊的句子,在特定的上下文中,主句中的not往往用来否定原因状语从句,也就是说,它可用来表示“⋯⋯不是因为⋯⋯”的意思。例如:
He was not great because he was physically strong.他的伟大并不是因为他身体强壮。
She did not buy the dress because it was cheaper.她买那件衣服并不是因为它便宜。

hope;well构成的复合词;祈使句;not only…but also;so…that;the more…the more Teaching procedure ◆ Language Focus 1.Every college student hopes to live a happy college life.(Para.1)
hope是常用动词,意为“希望”。hope通常有三个常用结构,分别是:hope to do sth., hope for sth.和hope that „。例如:
1)
He hopes to become a manager some day.他希望有一天能当经理。
2)I hope for a better job.我希望能找到比较好的工作。
3)We all hope that he will succeed this time.我们都希望这次他能成功。2.Get well-organized(Para.2)

3.Make a daily schedule of all your activities.(Para.2)

3)Doing exercise every day.You will keep fit this way.每天锻炼一下。这样你会保持身体强健。
4.Arrange your notes and assignments by topic or date, so you can easily find information.这里的so是连词,它可以用来连接两个并列的句子,而第二句通常是表示由第一句产生的结果。例如:
1)I heard a knock at the door, so I got up and walked to the door.我听到有人敲门,所以我起身向门口走去。
5.If you have an assignment that requires a lot of work, put it at the top of your list.that requires a lot of work是定语从句,修饰assignment,其中关系代词that是作定语从句中
大学英语-高职高专1(专科)的主语。定语从句通常置于它所要修饰的词后面,从意义上来说,它是对其所要修饰的名词(短语)进行限定和说明。例如:
1)This is the shirt that costs 200 dollars.这是一件价值200美元的衬衣。
6.Doing some sort of physical activity for thirty minutes three times a week will greatly lower your stress level.(Para.4)
Doing „ week是动名词短语作主语。动名词(短语)可以在句中作主语,例如: 1)Seeing is believing.眼见为实。
7.Also, it is important for you to eat regularly.(Para.6)
这里的it是形式主语,而真正的主语是动词不定式to eat regularly。动词不定式可以在句中作主语,不过它通常置于句尾,而用it置于句首充当形式主语。例如:
1)It is important for us to learn English well.对于我们来说,学好英语很重要。
8.Talking to others will not only help you feel better, but also help you find more ways to deal with problems.(Para.7)
not only „ but also „ 是常用句型,表示“不仅„„而且„„”的意思,其中的also可以省略。例如:
1)He is not only an actor but also a college teacher.他不仅是演员还是个大学教师。
9.Give yourself talks: “I can do this.I will not stress over this.”
(Para.8)
give 是一个可以带双宾语的动词,其中一个是直接宾语,另一个则是间接宾语。give也可以作为普通动词使用。例如:
1)The teacher gave students some books.老师给了学生几本书。
(students是间接宾语,some books是直接宾语)此句也可以改写为:Give talks to yourself.10.Taking the time to relax will give you so much energy that you can live a much better college life.(Para.9)
so„that是常用句型,表示 “太„„以至于”的意思。例如: 1)She was then so excited that she could not help bursting into tears.她当时激动地禁不住热泪盈眶。●Extra Reading ◆ Language Focus 1.Everything seemed new and interesting to me.(Para.1)
seem是半系动词,所以后面跟形容词作其表语。例如:
1)The questions seem easy.这些问题似乎不难。
2.To be frank, I liked Mrs.Zhang’s class most because she could speak English very fluently, and I benefited a lot from her teaching.(Para.2)
to be frank是动词不定式短语作状语,表示“坦率地说”的意思。例如:
1)To be frank, I didn’t believe you at the beginning.坦率地说,我一开始是不相信你的。
and „ teaching是一个并列句,其中benefit from是固定词组,也可是benefit by,表示“从„„中获益”的意思。例如:
1)I have benefited from your help.我已经从你的帮助中获益了。
大学英语-高职高专1(专科)
3.On weekends, I would climb the mountains or go to the beach with my classmates by bicycle.(Para.2)

1)I would get up very early when I stayed there.我在那儿逗留期间,常常很早就起床了。
4. During our first summer vacation, we took part in military training, which lasted for three weeks.(Para.3)
which„weeks是非限制性定语从句,which是关系代词,其修饰的先行词是military training。在非限制性定语从句中,表示事物的关系代词只能是which,而不可以使用that。例如:
1)She sent me the book as a gift, which I have kept for many years.她把书作为礼物送给了我,这本书我已经保存多年了。
5.As I remembered, the more we starved at lunchtime, the more crowded it was in the dining hall.(Para.4)
该句中the more „ the more „ 是一个特殊的形容词或副词比较级结构,表示“越„„越„„”的意思。使用该结构时,应当特别注意以下几个要点:
1)该结构中more前的两个定冠词the缺一不可。例如:
错误:The more he talked, more she disliked him.正确:The more he talked, the more she disliked him.他话说得越多,她就越不喜欢他。
2)该结构中应当使用两个并列的比较级,不可以只使用一个比较级。例如:
错误:The more preparation you do now, the
many chances you will have.正确:The more preparation you do now, the
more chances you will have.你准备得越多,你的机会就越多。
6.When we were about to graduate, we held quite a lot of parties on campus and off campus.(Para.4)
be about to do sth.是一常用结构,在该句中表示“将要”的意思。例如:
1)We were about to hold a meeting to discuss about his suggestion.我们将开会讨论他的建议。
7.Now five years have passed, but college life is still fresh in my mind and I still cherish those good old days at college.(Para.5)
这里的at college不是表示“在大学里”,而是表示“上大学期间”。注意,这里的college前面没有任何冠词。试比较:
1)He had a wonderful time at the college.他在大学里度过了一段美好的时光。
2)He learned a lot at college.他在上大学期间学到了很多东西。
8.I miss my classmates very much, and I dream that all of our classmates can meet again at our college some day.(Para.5)

3.But it can bring about physical illness if it goes on for too long, such as in response to life’s daily challenges and changes.(Para.2)
这里的if是连接词,它可以用来引导条件状语从句。例如: 1)What would Diana think of him if he failed?

1)He feels bad.他感到很难受。
5.What may be stressful is different for each person.(Para.5)
这里What may be stressful是由疑问词what引导的主语从句。当所要表达的意思含有―疑问‖的概念时,用相应的疑问词。注意,此时的―疑问‖并不是一个疑问句,故不要使用疑问语序而要用陈述语序。例如:

这里your child leaving or returning home是动名词的复合结构。当动名词前加上一个名词或代词的所有格形式,这个名词或代词的所有格形式就是动名词的逻辑主语。例如: 1)The teacher’s praising the boy made all the other boys happy.老师表扬了这孩子,这使得所有的孩子都很高兴。

1)It’s very good for us to learn English.对我们来说,学英语很有好处。
9.The next step is to choose a way to deal with your stress.(Para.21)句中to choose a way是不定式短语用作表语;to deal with your stress是不定式短语作定语,修饰way。不定式短语可作定语。例如:
1)I have got a chair to sit on.我拿到一个可以坐的椅子。
10.Prepare to the best of your ability for events you know may be stressful, like a job interview.(Para.24)
大学英语-高职高专1(专科)
prepare for是动词短语,表示―为……做好准备‖的意思。例如:

2)This investment program will lead to the creation of hundreds of new jobs.这项投资将创造成百上千的新的工作机会。
8.So analysts say that those very forces that brought the opportunities for young people also brought levels of stress.(Para.4)
