【对接高考】
(2010·湖北高考)Had she ________ her promise, she would have made it to Yale University.
A．looked up to B．lived up to
C．kept up with D．come up with
【解析】句意：如果她履行了诺言，她就已经上耶鲁大学了。根据句意live up to one's promise(履行诺言)符合题意，因此选择B项。look up to 仰望，尊重；keep up with 赶上，与……保持同步；come up with 想到，提出(主意、观点等)，这三项均不合句意。
【答案】 B
用上面短语的适当形式填空
①Mozart is dead but his music ________.
②My grandfather ________ both world wars.
③We should work hard and try to ________ our parents' expectations.
④The brave girl is learning to ________ her disability.
【答案】①lives on②lived through③live up to④live with
2．However，it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago.(教材P2)
然而，很可能至少在15000年前美洲土著人就生活在加利福尼亚了。
本句中it为形式主语，真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。句中的likely为形容词，意为“可能的”，常用于It is likely that...“有可能……”或sb.be likely to do sth.“某人有可能做某事”句型中。
It isn't likely that I should accept such an offer as that.
我接受像那样的帮助是不可能的。
She is not likely to come next month.
她下月很可能不来。
①likely常指从表面迹象来判断有可能，作“可能的”的意思解释时常用作表
语形容词，主要句法结构有：sb./sth.＋be＋likely＋to do sth.；It is likely＋
that-clause。
likely用作定语形容词时常意为“似乎合适的、有希望的”。
②possible表示客观上的可能性，possible常构成的结构有：It is possible(for sb.)to do sth.；It is possible＋that-clause。possible作定语时，有时解释为“合适的”。
③probable表示“可能发生或实现的”，比possible的可能性大。常构成的句型有：sth. is probable；It is probable＋that-clause。
【对接高考】
(2010·陕西高考) Studies show that people are more ________ to suffer from back problems if they always sit before computer screens for long hours.
A．likely B．possible C．probable D．sure
【解析】likely作表语时，主语既可以是人，也可以是物或it，而possible，probable作表语时，主语一般不能是人。所以可排除B、C。sb. be sure to do sth. 某人一定会做某事，在语气上太绝对，不符合句意，可排除。
【答案】 A
完成句子
①很可能今晚她给我打电话。
________________ she'll ring me tonight.
②汤姆有可能知道这个秘密。
Tom ______________________ this secret.
【答案】①It's very likely that/It is probable that
②is likely to know
3．by means of 用……办法；借助
Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait in the Arctic to America by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. (教材P2) 科学家们认为这些迁居者通过一座史前时代曾经存在的大陆桥穿越北极地区的白令海峡到达美洲。
I escaped by means of a secret tunnel.
我通过一条秘密通道逃跑了。
by this means用这种方法
by all means 一定，务必
by no means一点也不，决不(用于句首句子需倒装)
by any means 无论如何
Try by all means to save the dying.
一定要尽力抢救那个垂危的病人。
This is by no means the first time you have been late.
这绝不是你第一次迟到了。
For local people, this is not by any means bad news.
对于当地人，这无论如何也不是什么坏消息。
【提示】means作“方式，方法”时单复数同形。若是all means作主语，谓语动词用复数形式；若是every/a means作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。
【一言辨异】All possible means have been tried，but not every means works.
所有可能的方法都尝试过了，但并不是每一种方法都奏效。
【对接高考】
(2011·浙江高考)—Can I come and have a look at your new house?
—Yes，________！
A．with pleasure B．I like it C．I quite agree D．by all means
【解析】句意：——我可以来看看你的新房子吗？——可以，你一定要来。A项：非常乐意；B项：我喜欢；C项：我同意；D项：无论如何，一定，务必。
【答案】 D
用上面短语的适当形式填空
①He entered the room ________ the tree near the window.

③You must finish the task on time ________.
【答案】①by means of②By no means③by any means

有些国家里能读会写的人并不占大多数。
They have a large majority over the other party at the last election.
在上次选举中他们以悬殊的票数击败了对方。
【提示】a/the majority (of...)表示“(……的)大多数”，修饰可数名词，作主
语时，谓语用复数，修饰不可数名词时，谓语用单数。the majority 单独作主语时，表示泛指多数，谓语单复数均可。
【对接高考】
(2011·湖南高考)One-third of the country ________ covered with trees and the majority of the citizens ________ black people.
A．is；are B．is；is C．are；are D．are; is
【解析】句意：这个国家有三分之一的面积被森林覆盖，并且大多数公民是黑人。“分数词＋of＋名(代)词”作主语，谓语动词的单复数取决于该名(代)词的单复数，所以第一空用is；the majority of 后是the citizens，所以谓语动词用复数，所以第二个空用are。
【答案】 A
完成句子
①他相信支持他的人占多数。
He believes that his supporters __________________.
②大多数人喜欢电脑胜过电视。
__________________ seem to prefer computer to TV.
③多数人赞成这个建议。

5．That_is_why today over 40% of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language.

精美句子 1、善思则能“从无字句处读书”。读沙漠，读出了它坦荡豪放的胸怀；读太阳，读出了它普照万物的无私；读春雨，读出了它润物无声的柔情。读大海，读出了它气势磅礴的豪情。读石灰，读出了它粉身碎骨不变色的清白。 2、幸福幸福是“临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归”的牵挂；幸福是“春种一粒粟，秋收千颗子”的收获. 幸福是“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山”的闲适；幸福是“奇闻共欣赏，疑义相与析”的愉悦。幸福是“随风潜入夜，润物细无声”的奉献；幸福是“夜来风雨声，花落知多少”的恬淡。幸福是“零落成泥碾作尘，只有香如故”的圣洁。幸福是“壮志饥餐胡虏肉，笑谈渴饮匈奴血”的豪壮。幸福是“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”的胸怀。幸福是“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青”的气节。 3、大自然的语言丰富多彩：从秋叶的飘零中，我们读出了季节的变换；从归雁的行列中，我读出了集体的力量；从冰雪的消融中，我们读出了春天的脚步；从穿石的滴水中，我们读出了坚持的可贵；从蜂蜜的浓香中，我们读出了勤劳的甜美。 4、成功与失败种子，如果害怕埋没，那它永远不能发芽。鲜花，如果害怕凋谢，那它永远不能开放。矿石，如果害怕焚烧（熔炉），那它永远不能成钢（炼成金子）。蜡烛，如果害怕熄灭（燃烧），那它永远不能发光。航船，如果害怕风浪，那它永远不能到达彼岸。 5、墙角的花，当你孤芳自赏时，天地便小了。井底的蛙，当你自我欢唱时，视野便窄了。笼中的鸟，当你安于供养时，自由便没了。山中的石！当你背靠群峰时，意志就坚了。水中的萍！当你随波逐流后，根基就没了。空中的鸟！当你展翅蓝天中，宇宙就大了。空中的雁！当你离开队伍时，危险就大了。地下的煤！你燃烧自己后，贡献就大了 6、朋友是什么？ 朋友是快乐日子里的一把吉它，尽情地为你弹奏生活的愉悦；朋友是忧伤日子里的一股春风，轻轻地为你拂去心中的愁云。朋友是成功道路上的一位良师，热情的将你引向阳光的地带；朋友是失败苦闷中的一盏明灯，默默地为你驱赶心灵的阴霾。 7、一粒种子，可以无声无息地在泥土里腐烂掉，也可以长成参天的大树。一块铀块，可以平庸无奇地在石头里沉睡下去，也可以产生惊天动地的力量。一个人，可以碌碌无为地在世上厮混日子，也可以让生命发出耀眼的光芒。 8、青春是一首歌，她拨动着我们年轻的心弦；青春是一团火，她点燃了我们沸腾的热血；青春是一面旗帜，她召唤着我们勇敢前行；青春是一本教科书，她启迪着我们的智慧和心灵。
