2019学年度外研版选修七Modue5 Ethnic CulturePeriod2Language points 单元学案

单元重要词语

【词条1】diverse

【课文原句】home to 25 ethnic minorities, most diverse region of China (Page 57)

【点拨】形容词diverse在句中用作定语,表示"各不相同的；多种多样的",该词着重指形形色色,强调的是相互之间的不同。同义词为varied。如:

There are diverse subjects in this famous university.

【拓展】由diverse可拓展出:

① diversify为动词,意思是"使多元化,使多样化；使开始多种经营"。如:

　That factory is trying to diversify its products to sell in different markets.

② diversity为名词,意思是"多种多样,多样性"。如:

　Mary has a diversity of interests: she likes sports, photography, traveling, and making radio sets.

【词条2】adjust

【课文原句】My eyes had to adjust to the darkness in-side. (Page 67)

【点拨】adjust在句中为不及物动词,表示"调整,适应",常和介词to搭配。adjust 还常用于adjust oneself to 结构中,意思是"使自己适应......"。如:

Adjusting to the tropical area was more difficult than they had expected.

He has adjusted himself to the school life.

【辨析】adapt, adjust, suit, fit

看下面的四个句子,斜体部分都含有"适应、适合"的意思。你能指出它们的不同吗?

You should adapt yourself to the new environment.

You can't see through the telescope until it is adjusted to your eyes.

No dish suits all tastes.

The shoes fit me well.

点睛:

adapt指人或物在原有情况下作某些改变以适应新的环境或不同的条件,强调改变的目的和重要性。

adjust与adapt含义很接近,但ad-just所改变的幅度要小一些,侧重过程,主要用于调整角度、高度、光点等。

suit多指"合乎要求、口味、性格、情况"。

fit含义广,指人或物适合或适应某一目的或用途。
