中考英語75分。高一上學(xué)期61分，名列全班較低水平，在各科成績中也是最差的，于是高一下期開始努力學(xué)英語。當時的毅力和沖勁現(xiàn)在也佩服，為了惡補英語，開始狂看英語方面的參考書，狂記單詞，最喜歡的記憶方法是在所有課本和筆記本的空白邊上寫下英語單詞和短語，加上中文釋義。這個習(xí)慣一直持續(xù)到大學(xué)。還一度在手掌上寫下單詞，便于隨時隨地記憶。于是高中時期很長一段時間我的手掌經(jīng)常是臟得不成樣子。這樣瘋狂補習(xí)，效果很明顯，高一下學(xué)期成績明顯提高，高二開始全班第一，高二下期到畢業(yè)，我的英語成績在全校是最好的，超過補習(xí)班久經(jīng)沙場的老將。

在高中英語學(xué)習(xí)過程中最令我難忘的是一本叫做《高中英語綜合復(fù)習(xí)指南》，這本書讓我徹底提高了語法知識，積累了基本的詞匯。我學(xué)英語還有一個習(xí)慣――抄知識點。我用筆記本抄下書中自己不明白的要點。

別小看了中學(xué)時學(xué)的例句，現(xiàn)在不一定能正確地寫出來。單詞構(gòu)成句子，句子組成段落，我們的文章就是這樣寫成的。訓(xùn)練造句是一個提高英語知識的好方法。

Lesson One

一、 課文注釋　

1.Before long he had to move on again. 不久，他不得不再遷移。

1) before long的意思是“不久”、“不久以后”（＝Soon, after a short period of time）。又如：I think it’ll fit me quite well before long, Mum. 媽媽，我認為它很快就會合我身的。

Long before 和before long意思不同，前者是“在……以前很久”，即“很久以前”。例如：
I saw this film long before.
We heard of it long before.

2) On在此句中作副詞，意思是“繼續(xù)向前移動”（在此句中作“再遷移”講）類似詞組還有：go on繼續(xù)下去，work on繼續(xù)工作。例如：

The blackboard moved on.
黑板繼續(xù)往前移動
The guns founded still closer now, but Dr. Bethune worked on.
槍聲更近了，但是白求恩大夫仍然努力工作。

、get to、arrive的意義相同，都作到達解。

get to表示“到達”這一意思時，是非正式用語（reach, arrive是正式用語），用于口語中，例如：
When do we get to Shanghai?

Arrive 和get表示“到達”時，如果地點是副詞home, here 或there,就不用介詞in, at或to，例如：
We got home very late last night.
When did you arrive here?

3．He started working hard to improve it

begin和start作“開始”解時，都指開始某一動作，后面可接不定式，也可接動名詞。兩種結(jié)構(gòu)表達的意思相同。
When did you begin/start to learn English?
W hen did you begin/start learning English?

但在下列三種情況下，用前一種結(jié)構(gòu)（即后面接不定式）為好：

1） 當主語是物不是人時：
The ice began/started to melt.
The barometer began/started to fall.

2） 當begin或start用過去進行時態(tài)時：
She is beginning/starting to cook the dinner.
The water is beginning /starting to boil.

3） 當begin或start后面的非謂語動詞指心理狀態(tài)精神活動時：
I began to understand my past mistakes.
She started to wonder who had done it.

另外，當指長期或習(xí)慣性動作時，多用動名詞；指具體的一次性動作時，多不定式。
It started snowing.
When did you start working as a turner in this factory?

4．Such...that引導(dǎo)的從句是結(jié)果狀語從句

such與No one等詞一起修飾名詞時，這些詞就放在such 后面，即：One (no, any, many, all, several, some)＋such+單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)可數(shù)名詞。
One such table is enough.
There is no such word.
All such possibilities must be considered.
I have met many such people.

5. Be sure about/of的意思是“確信”，“有把握”，后面接名詞或動名詞，表示某人對客觀事物有肯定的認識或判斷：

1) can we be sure of his honesty?
2) As we have been practicing regularly, we are sure of winning the game this time.

Have been practicing是現(xiàn)在完成進行時，表過去到現(xiàn)在某一段時間一直進行的動作。
3) I’m sure of his successs.
4) I think he was at 23rd street, but I’m not quite sure about the number.

Be sure +由that 或whether, where, when, what, how等引導(dǎo)的名詞從句，表示某人“確定(肯定)”、“確信”某事的意思，如：
I’m sure (that) I can run faster than you.
They weren’t sure whether they could come or not.
I’m not sure where I left my notebook.

6. Keep doing sth. 和keep on doing sth.

兩者都是繼續(xù)做某事的意思，但后者更強調(diào)重復(fù)性和決心，試比較：
He caught such a bad cold that he kept coughing all morning.
He kept on phoning me, and I really didn’t want to talk to him.
Keep或keep on后面接表示動作的動名詞(不能接不定式)，如working, walking, writing, talking等；一般說來不可接表示靜止的狀態(tài)的動名詞，例如不可以說：He kept on standing.

7. Encourage

vt. ---- give courage or hope to sb.
I was encouraged by his words.
Don’t encourage him in his laziness. 別助長他的懶惰。
My teacher encouraged me to speak English.

8. Follow

vt. ---- come, arrive, go or leave after 跟隨；come next in time or order (表時間、次序)接著、隨著
You go first and I’ll follow you.
Would you follow me?
We followed him out (up the stairs, into the office)
Monday follows Sunday.
The lecture will be followed by discussion.

9. Grasp

vt. Seize firmly with the hands 抓住;understand with mind領(lǐng)會
The policeman grasped the thief by the arm.
I grasped the main points of the speech.
I failed to grasp the meaning of the paragraph.

10. Fail

失敗，常與to連用, 組成fail to do sth.
其名詞形式是 ---- failure
