请老师帮忙分析一下四个备选答案,再将句子翻译一下好吗?谢谢!
rectify 表示“改正”

prolong 表示“延长,拉长,拖长”
He prolonged his visit by two weeks. 他延长访问两个星期。
minimize 表示“把...减至最低数量或程度”

furnish 表示“供应,提供”

句子的意思是“阅读仅用材料的知识提供了观点,正是那种观点使我们阅读的材料变成了我们自己的看法”。
“claim”“assert”,“affirm”,“allege”的区别是什么?
assert v.指不管事实如何,主观自信地宣称,或者清楚有力地坚持某个情况为事实。
She asserted that she was innocent .她宣称自己是无辜的。
allege v.在无真凭实据的情况下宣称、断定。
The suspect alleged that he had not been in the neighborhood at the time of the crime.嫌疑犯声称案发时他不在现场。
allege可以和assert是同义词,可以换用。
这四个词均可表示态度肯定地表示某种意见或陈述某种事实,但是claim是一般用词,多指根据法律等规定提出的要求,要求他人承认自己的权益,或是在面对置疑、不同意见甚至反对意见的时候声称某事的真实,affirm是正式用词,通常指在法庭、出示证言等场合,指根据事实肯定地宣称或说明某事属实,强调信念坚定,不可动摇;但是assert指不管事实如何,主观自信地宣称、辩护,或者清楚有力地坚持某个情况为事实。allege则在无真凭实据的情况下宣称、断定,如allegedly就带有传闻;据说的意义。
I claimed the coat that the teacher found.我认领了老师找到的外套。
He affirmed his love for her.他发誓爱她。
She asserted that she was innocent .她宣称自己是无辜的。
The newspaper alleges that the man was murdered but they have given no proof.报纸宣称那人是被谋杀的,但是他们没有任何证据。
appeal to violence和resort to violence哪个对,为什么?
appeal to 表示“恳求;呼吁;求助于”,通常表示好的方面
resort to 表示“求助于”,通常为不好的事物。所以后者接violence 更合适。

A.throw away B.send off C.put off D.put out 应该选哪一个,为什么?
attempt 表示“努力,尝试,企图”
I passed my driving test at the third attempt. 我考到第三次才能过了驾驶考试。
effort 表示“努力的尝试,尽力”
The prisoner made on effort to escape. 那个囚犯没有试图越狱。
此句选B为合适,send off=send away ,句子的意思是“由于罢工,工厂被迫解除工人,因为没有部件可供组装”。
请问在would rather 和if only 后应接什么?
would rather的用法
虚拟语气用在would rather后接的宾语从句中。意指某人宁愿让另一个人做某事,其后的宾语从句的谓语动词需用虚拟语气。若表示现在或将来要做某事,从句谓语动词需用一般过去时,表示过去已经做的事,从句谓语动词用过去完成时。
(1)The manager would rather his daughter did not work in the same office.经理宁愿她女儿不与他在同一间办公室工作。
(2)To be frank,I'd rather you were not involved in the case.坦率地说,我希望你不要卷入这件事。
(3)You don't have to be in such a hurry.I would rather you went on business first.你没有必要这么着急,我宁愿你先去上班。
(4)I'd rather you didn't make any comment on the issue for the time being.我倒希望你暂时先不要就此事发表意见。
(5)Frankly speaking ,I'd rather you didn't do anything about it for the time
being.坦白地说,我宁愿你现在对此事什么也不要做。
(6)Wouldn't you rather your child went to bed early?为什么你不愿让你的孩子早点上床呢?
注:①若某人愿自己做某事, would rather后用动词原形
I would rather stay at home today.
② would rather...than...中用动词原形
I would rather stay at home than go out today.
(7)I would just as soon you had returned the book yesterday.我真希望你昨天把这本书还了。
If only用法
① 表示目前较难实现的愿望或与过去事实相反的愿望。表示目前较难实现的愿望时使用
If only Sb+ did/were Sth 或 if only Sb could/would do/be Sth的结构;表示与过去事实相反的愿望时使用if only Sb had done/been Sth 或 if only Sb could have done Sth的结构。
如:Oh, if he could only come
If only you would listen to reason.
If only I could have gone to the movies.
If only you hadn't told Linda what I said.
② if only 还可带一个条件状语从句,该条件句表示一种较难兑现的条件。
如: If only you would help me type my paper this afternoon, I would not have to burn the midnight oil. If only they were here now, we would be able to discuss the issue together.
apt, liable, likely有什么区别?
apt和likely后接不定式时,区别极为细微。
likely指一件事情极可能发生,但不一定发生
apt指一件一定会发生的事情
liable一般和不理想的事情,如:
此外,apt的含义比likely广,另可指“恰当的”、“有能力的”
an apt remark、an apt student、be apt at learning
in the future和in future 有什么区别?
in the future 表示“将来;未来”,强调很久以后。
in future 表示“今后;从今以后”,强调不久之后。
like to do 和like doing 有什么区别?
like to do 通常表示具体的,某一次的行为。
like doing 表示经常的,习惯性的。
同位语从句和定语从句都用that连接时有何区别?
同位语从句的先行词多为fact,news,idea,thought, reply, report, remark,admission,advice, agreement, announcement, argument, assertion, belief, claim, decision,expctation, feeling, hope, impression, information, promise, rule, rumour, saying, sense, statement, threat, view, warning, wish等抽象名词。
在A report that he stole was ultimately sent to the police 一句中,先行词report有歧义:report 如是抽象名词,意谓“报告”,that 从句就是同位语从句;report如指具体事物,意谓“报告书”,that从句则是定语从句。如属前者,全句的意思是“关于他行窃的报告已终于送到警察局”;如属后者,全句的意思则是“他所盗窃的一份报告已终于送到警察局”。
none of 后接单数还是复数?
none 用作主语时,动词有时用复数形式,有时用单数形式,表示“所有...都不”时,动词多用复数形式。
None of us are perfect. 我们都不是完人。
若表示“其中一个也不”时,用单数形式更好。
None of his friends has ever been to Paris. 他的朋友谁也没去过巴黎。
在很多情况下界限并不清楚,因此常常单复两种形式都可以用。
None of the dogs was (were)there. 狗都不在那里。
late, later, latter三词有什么区别呢?
late: “迟,晚”,指时间已晚,也指”已故的”
The train was ten minutes late.列车晚点十分钟。
later : “较迟地,较后地” late的比较级
later edition 较近的版本
latter : 后面的, (两者中)后者的, 较后的, 近来的
Did he walk or swim? The latter seems unlikely.
他是散步还是游泳?后者看来不太可能。
一般强调的是rather than 前面的部分还是后者?
rather与than连用时,其作用相当于连词,通常用于平行结构里。常译为“与其说(后者)……不如说(前者)……”;“不是……而是……”。例如: He ran rather than walked. 他跑着而不是走着。通常强调后面的部分。
_______ your opinions are worth considering, the committee finds it unwise to place too much importance on them.
A) As B) Since C) Provided D) While 正确答案是D,为什么呢?
as 可用来引导时间状语从句、方式状语从句和让步状语从句,分别意为“当……时候,随着……”,“正如”,“虽然,尽管”,该词引导让步状语从句时,从句要位于主句前,而且从句内容要倒装,例如:Successful as he is,he is not proud.他虽然成功了,却不骄傲。provided用来引导条件状语从句,意为“只要”,例如:I will lend you my book provided that you keep it clean.只要不把书搞脏,我会把书借给你.since用来引导时间状语从句和原因状语从句,意为“自从;因为”,例如: He has written once since he left.他自去后曾来过一封信。连词while不但可以引导时间状语从句,而且还可以引导让步状语从句,作“尽管”讲,例如:English and French are living languages while Latin is dead.英语和法语是现在都有人说的语言,而拉丁语现在却没有人说了。
