belong to 意为“属于”, to是介词, 后接名词(短语)或代词(用宾格形式)作宾语。它一般不用于进行时态和被动语态。 如: What group does he belong to? This book belongs to me.
Lions and tigers belong to the cat family.
4
此外，belong to sb. 通常可以和名词性物主代词或名词所有格(一般是’s 所有格)互相转换。 如：

3. I attended a concert yesterday so it might still be in the music hall. attend vt. 出席；参加
attend是正式用语，侧重指参加会议、婚礼、典礼，去上课、上学、听报告等。

take part in 指参加会议或群众性活动, 着重说明主语参加该项活动并在活动中发挥作用。
e.g. We’ll take part in the sports meeting/club. take an active part in 积极参加…… attend 正式用语
vt. 指参加会议, 婚礼, 葬礼, 典礼; 去上课, 上学, 听报告等。 句子主语只是去听, 去看, 自己不一定起积极作用。 e.g. I attended a night school. 我上夜校。 4. Do you have anything valuable in your schoolbag?
句中的anything valuable意为“一些贵重的东西”，形容词valuable修饰不定代词anything要后置。当形容词修饰不定代词(something, anything, nothing等)时，形容词应放在不定代词的后面。 单项选择。
1) I’ve been so bored for a long time. I hope to have __(A)__ to do. A. exciting anything B. nothing exciting C. something interesting D. good something
2) —Have you read today’s newspaper? —No, I haven’t. Is there ___(B)____ in it? A. something important B. anything special C. new anything
5. I think somebody must have picked it up.
must在此处表示推测, 意为“一定”。英语中当情态动词后接have done时, 表达对过去的事情进行推测, 故must have done something表示“过去一定做过了”这样的意思。
e.g. He’s playing outside. He ___________________(finish) his homework. 6. I’ll call them now to check if anybody has it. anybody pron. 任何人
6
常用于否定句或疑问句中; 当用于肯定句中时, 相当于any person, 意为“任何 人”。
e.g. I will not tell anybody the secret. Is there anybody in the office? Anybody could do it! IX. Summary 情态动词 用法 表示很有把握的推测，意must 为“一定”，只用于肯定句。 The light is out. He must be sleeping. 例句 表示不太有把握的推测，The pen could / might be Joe’s. I could 和might 意为“可能”。 saw it on his desk just now. 表示很有把握的否定推can’t 测，意为“不可能”。 The girl here can’t be Helen.

2. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. 构成：不定代词+形容词 (定语后置) e.g. 一些重要的事情something important
一些形容词，只要在单词前面加上一个固定前缀，就能构成原词的反义词。这样的前缀被称为“否定前缀”。
un- 表示否定 usual 通常的 unusual 不平常的 happy 快乐的 unhappy 不快乐的 常见的形容词否定前缀in-, im-, dis- 等。
前缀 例词 in⁃ dependent → independent, correct → incorrect, expensive → inexpensive, ... im⁃ possible → impossible, patient → impatient, polite → impolite, ... dis- 【注意】
advantage → disadvantage agreement → disagreement,… 一、并不是所有的形容词都可以加否定前缀构成反义词，如beautiful, nice, open等很多形容词就不能加否定前缀。

express v. 表达，表示 expression n. 表达 ，表示，表情
e.g. It expresses my love for the novel. 这表达了我对这部小说的热爱。 an expression of support 表示支持
2. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. receive v. 接受；收到
e.g. Yesterday I received his gift, but I didn’t accept it so I returned it to him. 昨天我收到了他的礼物，但是我没有接受并且退回去了。 辨析：receive 和 accept
从含义上说，receive只表示“收到”这一客观事实；而accept则多了一层主观上“接受”的意味。如：
I’ve received a present from Jeff, but I’m not going to accept it.
从搭配上说，在表示“接受教育(education)、受到欢迎(welcome)、得到支持
(support)、接待客人(guest)”等时，通常用receive，而accept无此用法。如： Project Hope has helped lots of poor children receive good education. 用receive或accept的适当形式填空。
1) Laura __________ some flowers yesterday, but she didn’t know if she should ________ them.
2) Dick __________ lots of support from his parents.
3) Every year the hotel ________ guests from all over the world. 3. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. medical adj. 医疗的；医学的 medicine n. 药

4. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. prevent v. 防止; 预防; 阻止; 阻挠, 后面可跟名词或代词。如：
29
We should do something to prevent pollution / it.
也可用于prevent sb. (from) doing sth.结构, 意为“阻止某人做某事”，其中
from可以省略。
同样的表达还有stop sb. (from) doing sth.和keep sb. from doing sth.。如： We must do something to prevent the news (from) spreading.=We must do something to stop the news (from) spreading.=We must do something to keep the news from spreading. 完成句子，每空一词。
1) 春天我们应该做什么来预防流感？
What should we do ___ _______ the flu in spring? 2) 我们必须采取有效措施遏制交通事故的增长。
We must take effective measures to prevent traffic accidents _______ __________________.
(2014 山东烟台) 5. The large stones were put together in a certain way.
in a certain way表示“以某种方式”，其中certain表示 “某一；某个；某些”的
意思，用于名词之前。
e.g. The doctor is only at this hospital on certain days. 那位医生只有在某些日子才在这所医院。
6. As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body. 此句中的feel是感官动词，其后可接宾语和不带to的动词不定式充当的宾语
补足语，其用法与see, hear, watch等词一样。 e.g. We felt the house shake. 我们感到房子在晃动。 Ⅵ. Summary run after 追逐；追赶
