在这次撞车事故受伤的6个人中，只有2个人活了下来。 Few buildings in Beichuan County survived the big earthquake on May 12.
在5月12日的大地震中，北川县残留的建筑物寥寥无几。 常用结构： survive on sth.
靠……生存（意思等同于live on sth.） survive sb. (by...)比……活得长 survive sth. 幸免于；从……中挺过来
【联想拓展】 survival n. ［U］幸存；［C］残存物
survivor n.生还者，幸存者 用法点拨： survive本身已表示“幸存；幸免于”，因此后面不需要加in或from等介词。当survive作及物动词，意为“比……多活多长时间”时，用“A+ survive+ B+ by+ 时间”表示。
【即学即练】 完成句子 ①她丈夫去世后她又活了10年。
She ______ her husband
ten years. ②The old couple ______ ______ ______ （从战争中幸存下来）.(原创) ③In the terrible accident, there were no ______ （幸存者）.(原创) 答案:①survived;by

vt. 设计；计划；构思 I like the design of that rug. 我喜欢那块地毯的图案。 A new highway between the two cities is being designed.
这两个城市之间的一条新高速公路正在设计中。 用法点拨: design作为名词,如果表达“设计”时一般用作不可数名词,如果表达“设计式样”时一般用作可数名词;作及物动词时,后面直接跟宾语。 常用结构： by design=on purpose
有意地，故意地 be designed to do...
目的是做……；被打算做…… be designed for...
为……而打算／设计 【即学即练】 完成句子 ①你觉得他是偶尔如此，还是故意的？

③这些房子是专门为老年人而设计的。

答案:①by design/on purpose
②is designed to
③designed for 单项填空 ④I like the television programme ______ educate not merely entertain.
A. designed to
B. designed for
C. is designed to
D. is designed for 解析：选A。be designed to do为固定搭配，表示“目的是”。designed to...在句中为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词programme。B、D两项中的for为介词,后面需接v.-ing形式或名词,故排除。
3. worth adj.值得的; 相当于……的价值
n.价值; 作用 The new car costs a lot of money, but it’s worth much.
买这辆新汽车花了很多钱, 但确实物有所值。 The thieves stole one million pounds’worth of jewellery.
窃贼偷走了价值100万英镑的珠宝。 用法点拨: worth除了可以用在it’s worth + n./doing sth.的句型中,后面还可以跟表示价值的名词,若后面跟非谓语动词时,要跟v.-ing，而不可以跟动词不定式,并且用v.-ing的主动形式表示被动概念。 【联想拓展】 be worth+n.
当名词为金钱时，表示“……值……钱” be worth doing
……某事值得被做 be worthy of+n.
当名词为抽象名词时,表示 “……值得……” be worthy to be/of being done

值得某人去做某事 【即学即练】 完成句子 这本书值得读。 ①The book is worth reading.=The book is ______ ______ ______ read. =It is ______ ______ the book. 答案:worthy to be; worthwhile reading 【速记名片】 一石二鸟之句 This movie is well worth seeing,but it is not worthy of being seen/to be seen twice.
这部电影值得看但是不值得看两遍。 【即学即练】 单项填空 ②This book is worthy of ______ twice.
A. reading B. read
C. having read
D. being read 解析：选D。 be worthy 后可以用to be done或of being done结构，而worth后用动名词的主动形式表示被动概念。 ③He is well skilled ______ playing the piano, so his music is worth ______.
A. with; listening
B. with; listening to
C. in; listening
D. in; listening to
解析：选D。be skilled in/at跟名词或动名词,意为“在……方面有能力的”。worth意为“值得”,后跟动名词的主动形式表被动概念。在句中,music作listen to的逻辑宾语,而listen为不及物动词,to不可省略。 4. wonder n.［C］ 奇迹；奇观；［U］惊奇；惊讶
v. 想知道；对……感到惊奇 The Great Wall is one of the seven wonders in the world. 长城是世界七大奇迹之一。 She always wondered how she could operate the new machine. 她想知道她怎么才能操作这台新机器。 用法点拨： wonder作“奇迹；奇观”讲时为可数名词，作“惊奇,惊叹”讲时为不可数名词。 常用结构： It be a wonder (that)...
奇怪的是…… （It be）no/little/small wonder (that...)
难怪……；……并不奇怪 【即学即练】 完成句子 ①你吃的那么多，难怪你睡不着。
______ ______ ______ you can’t sleep when you eat so much.
②我很想知道他是谁，来自哪里，为什么来。

答案:①It’s no wonder
②wonder 单项填空 ③—He is always the first to come and the last to leave.
—______is no wonder he always takes the first place in class.
A. It
B. There
C. That
D. This
解析：选A。It is no wonder （that...）意为“难怪……”符合语境。
5. doubt n. 怀疑;疑惑
vt.怀疑;不信 I don’t doubt that he is honest. 我不怀疑他是诚实的。
We doubt if he is honest. 我们怀疑他是否诚实。
用法点拨： doubt作为名词，如果表达“困惑”的事情，用作可数名词；如果表达“在某事上的困惑，”一般用作不可数名词。作为动词，在否定句和疑问句中，后接that引导的从句；在肯定句中，后接whether/if引导的从句。 常用结构： in doubt 怀疑；拿不定主意 no/without/beyond doubt 无疑地；必定；当然 there is no doubt that... 毫无疑问……（that从句为同位语从句，表示no doubt的实际内容，同位语从句亦可由whether引导） 【即学即练】 完成句子 ①他肯定不是有意要伤害你的。
______ ______he didn’t mean to hurt you.
②当你对这个问题没有把握时，请教一下老师。
When______ ______
about the question, you’d better ask the teacher.
答案:①No doubt
②in doubt 单项填空 ③There is no doubt ______ he will be asked to speak again next year.
A. that
B. whether
C. what
D. how 解析：选A。doubt 后的同位语从句的引导词有这样的规律：如果doubt前有否定词，从句用that引导；如果doubt前没有否定词，则用疑问代词、副词或whether引导。
6. in search of寻找 I looked everywhere in search of my lost pen.
我四处寻找我丢失的钢笔。 用法点拨：in search of短语中，如果search前有物主代词或者其他成分修饰时，我们经常用in one’s search for的形式。in search of 与search for 后直接跟所寻找的对象或目标。
【易混辨析】 search/search for/search...for/in search of search表示“搜索；搜寻；调查”。search sb.意为“搜某人身”；search sp.意为“在某地搜查”（意图找到某东西）。 search for意为“寻找”，指搜寻某个特定的目标，相当于look for。 search...for意为“搜查某人或某地以寻找某物”。 in search of介词短语，意为“寻找”，后接寻找的目标或对象。 【即学即练】 完成句子 ①警察搜索那栋房屋，寻找被偷的宝石。
The police ______ the house ______ the stolen jewel.
②他们在门口搜查了那个士兵。
They ______ the guard at the gate. ③警察到处搜捕他。最终他被抓住了，现在警察正在对他进行搜身。

②searched
③searched for；searching ④searched 单项填空 ⑤They were walking around the town ______ a place for the party.
A. in search of
B. search
C. searching of
D. searched for 解析：选A。in search of为介词短语，意为“寻找”，符合句意。B、D两项动词形式不对；无C项search of 此种搭配。 7. belong to 属于 Who does this watch belong to?这块表是谁的？ 用法点拨:belong to不用于进行时态和被动语态中。to 为介词,其后接代词,名词类短语及从句,表示所归属的对象。belong可以用于除to以外的其他介词或副词前面,表示“应处在（某处）;适合在某处”。 The book belongs on that shelf.
这本书应是放在那个架子上的。 【联想拓展】 belong vi.属于;应在(某处);适应
belongings n.财产,所有物;动产 She lost all her belongings in the earthquake.
她在地震中失去了所有的财产。 I don’t really feel I belong here. 我感觉我并不适合在这个地方。 【即学即练】 单项填空

A. belonging
B. belonged
C. belonging to
D. belonged to
解析：选C。belong to 此处作定语，无被动语态和进行时态，必须和to连用构成及物动词 短语。
8. Frederick William Ⅰ, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. (P1) 普鲁士国王威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。 情态动词+have done表示对过去发生的事情的推测、批评、反悔等。 Mr Smith can’t have gone to Beijing, for I saw him just now.
史密斯先生不可能去北京了，我刚才还见过他。 There is no light in the room, can they have gone out?
屋里没亮灯，他们可能出去了吗？ 【联想拓展】 couldn’t have done，意为“过去不可能做了某事”，表示对过去已发生的事情较有把握的否定推测。 must have done表示对过去发生事情的肯定推测，意为一定做过某事，只用于肯定句中。
may/might have done表示对过去发生的情况的推测，意为“也许……”，一般用于肯定句或否定句中，不用于疑问句中。might则表示语气更加不肯定。 should/ought to have done
本该做某事而实际上没做 shouldn’t have done
本不该做某事而实际上却做了 need have done
本来有必要做某事，但事实上没有做 Needn’t have done
本来不需要做某事实际上却做了 would have done
本来会……(表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气中)
【即学即练】 单项填空 ①His brother met him at the Grand Theatre yesterday afternoon, so he ______ have attended your lecture.
A. couldn’t
B. needn’t
C. mustn’t
D. shouldn’t 解析：选A。由“His brother met him at the Grand Theatre yesterday afternoon”可推知,当时他不在课堂上,不可能听了你的课。couldn’t have done意为“不可能做了某事”,符合句意。 ②—Your mother was really anxious about you.
—I know. I ______ home without a word.
A. mustn’t leave
B. shouldn’t have left
C. couldn’t have left
D. needn’t leave 解析：选B。由“Your mother was really anxious about you”和“I know”可知，“我”是在为自己未打招呼就离家而自责。shouldn’t have done意为“某种行为不该发生却发生了”，符合句意。
9. He/She only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. (P5) 他/她关心的只是目击者是否提供了真实的信息，这些信息必须是事实而不是个人观点或看法。 rather than意为“而不是”，连接两个并列成分，这两个并列成分的形式应该一致。rather than连接两个主语时，其后面谓语动词的单复数形式应遵循就前原则。类似用法的词汇、短语还有：as well as，together with，except，but，like，with，besides，including等。
I think Tom, rather than you, is to blame.
我认为该受责备的是汤姆，而不是你。 Professor Smith, together with his assistants, is doing the research day and night.
