1．Although we may not realize it, when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not just by words．我們同別人談話時，并不僅限于用言語讓人明白自己的意思，對于這一點我們可能并沒有意識到。

(1) realize作“意識到；了解到”解，后接名詞或賓語從句。它還可作“實現”解。

He came to realize that he was wrong．他終于認識到自己錯了。

I didn’t realize that until he told me．直到他告訴我，我才意識到那一點。

Today our hope has been realized at last．今天我們的希望終于實現了。

注意：realize的主語一般是人，否則用被動語態，但不用進行時態。

賓補用過去分詞。如：

All is not gold that glitters（＝Not all is gold that glitters．）．發光的并非都是金子。

Not every man can do it well．并非每個人都能把這件事做好。

英語中表示全部否定時，常用no, none, nobody, nothing, neither, never等。如：

Step 2. Unit 3 同義詞（組）辨析

1．meet；meet with

meet可作“遇見”、“迎接”解。meet with表示“遇見”、“碰到”時，常含有“偶爾”的意思（＝come across，come upon）。此外，meet with還可表示“遭遇”或“經歷”的意思。在美國英語中，meet with還可以表示“會見”。

I often meet her on the street．

She said she had to go to the station to meet her uncle．

I have met with this word many times in my reading．

You should not lose heart when you meet with difficulty in learning a foreign language．

The department head met with her in his office．

2．meeting； conference； gathering； party

meeting可以用于兩人或多人，表示偶然的或擬定的，短暫的或持續的聚會。它的用途很廣，可用于日常普通場合，也可用于特殊的或官方的正式場合。如：

The students had a class meeting last Friday．

The summit meeting of the state heads came to an end two days later．

conference指專門性的正式會議，常用于就某個重大問題進行專門研究或交換意見的討論會、協商會等。如：

Many reporters came to attend the press conference．

The annual conference of geologists will be held in Chicago this year．

gathering一般指非正式的集會，常用于群眾性的活動（像聯歡會等）。如：

A public gathering was held in Zhongshan Park on May Day．

party指社交性或娛樂性的集會。如：

Mary and I were invited to Jane’s birthday party the other day．

Mr．Brown gave a dinner party last Thursday．

3．though；although；as

這三個詞都可以表示“雖然”、“盡管”。though和although引導讓步狀語從句時，常可互換，只是although的語氣更強一些。如：

Though／Although it was late，the farmers kept on harvesting the crops by the lights of the tractors．

此外，though可以用于省略句，although很少這樣用爐hough引導的從句可以部分倒裝，although引導的從句不用倒裝語序。如：

Though poor, he is always neatly dressed．

Poor though I am, I can afford it．

as表示“雖然”、“盡管”引導讓步狀語從句時，從句要用倒裝語序，將表語、狀語等置于句首。

Tired as he was, he went on working with his workmates．

Child as he is, he knows a lot about the computer．

注意：as引導讓步狀語從句時，若充當表語的名詞位于句首，則該名詞前面不用冠詞。

4．close；closely

close, closely這兩個詞都可以用作副詞，close表示“靠近”、“緊緊地”，closely則表示“緊密地”、“嚴密地”、“密切地”。如：

I went closer, and saw clearly a tall man in the moonlight．

Come close, I want to tell you something important．

The policeman followed the strange man closely．

The scientists got closely in touch with the astronauts.

Step 2. 單元知識點與高考考點透視(Unit3)

1．課本原句：Would you like me to type your composition for you？

考例1）：（NMET 97）I would love ____ to the party last night but I had to work extra hours to finish a report．

A．to go B．to have gone C．going D．having gone

考點點撥：would（should）like（love）的意思是“愿意、希望、想”，后跟名詞、代詞或不定式作賓語，不可以跟V-ing形式，如果表示“希望某人做某事”可以用含動詞不定式的復合賓語，即would（should）like（love） sb．to do sth．。考例1）表示本來想去參加晚會，而實際上沒去，不定式要用完成式形式，故選B。

2．課本原句：Waving one's hand is to say“Goodbye"．

考例2）：（2001上海）In such dry weather，the flowers will have to be watered if they ____ ．

A．have survived（幸存、生還） B．are to survive C．would survive D．will survive

考點點撥：動詞不定式作表語時可以表示目的，如本課中的這一句。另外還可以表示事態發展的趨勢、預期的結果、不幸的命運或預言，如：

1. You must speak out if we are to remain friends．（如果我們還想做朋友的話，你就痛痛快快地把話都說出來。）由于狀語從句的謂語動詞不可以用將來時，考例2）可先排除C、D項，而A項的完成式不符合題意，故選B。

3．課本原句：In France，it is the custom to shake hands with people in the office every morning．

2. 考例3）：（MET 89）Is ____ necessary to complete the design before National Day？

A．this B．that C．it D．he

考點點撥：動詞不定式作主語時，通常用形式主語it代替，而把真正的主語后置，目的是為了避免句子的“頭重腳輕”現象，以保持句子的平衡，本題選C。

4． 課本原句：Although we may not realize it，when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not just by words．

考例4）：（MET 91）The speaker raised his voice but still couldn't make himself ____ ．

A．hear B．to hear C．hearing D．heard

考點點撥：make oneself done結構中的make是使役動詞，跟過去分詞作賓語補足語時，賓語補足語與賓語之間是被動關系，意思是“使自己被……”，如：Would you like to make yourself known？（你能自我介紹一下嗎？）本題選D。句意是：演說者提高了嗓門，可是人們還是聽不到。

5．課本原句：If you touch an English person，you should say "Sorry"．

考例5）：（NMET94）Here's my card．Let's keep in ____ ．

A．touch B．relation C．connection D．friendship

考點點撥：touch作動詞解的意思是“觸摸、接觸、碰到”，作名詞解的意思是“觸摸、接觸、聯系”，短語keep in touch with sb．的意思是“與某人保持聯系”，如表示“與某人取得聯系”則用get in touch with sb．。由考題中的here's my card，可知選A。

6．課本原句：But English people do not like to be too close to one another unless there is a reason．

考例6）：（2001京皖春招）The men will have to wait all day ____ the doctor works faster．

A．if B．unless C．whether D．that

考點點撥：連詞unless的意思是“除非、如果不”，相當于“if．．．not”， unless從句多接肯定式來引導條件狀語從句，當主句用一般將來時態的時候，從句一般要用一般現在時態，考例6）選B。

Dear Tom，

Thanks for your letter．It's interesting to learn your story．Now I'd like to answer your questions．

In China，we have our own way to greet each other when we meet．In your country，friends may say “Hello！”or “Hi！”to each other．In China，people，especially old people love to ask “Have you had your meal？or “Where are you going？ In fact， they really don't want to know whether you have had your meal or not，or where you are going．They just express their care or attention to you by saying so．Of course，you may feel embarrassed to hear these words．But if you stay in China a little longer，you will get used to it．

OK，does my explanation sound reasonable？

Best wishes！

Yours，

Zhu Feng
