英语:Units 13-14 重难点解释(旧人教高一下)第2页

Somebody is/are likely to do something

It is very likely that she will ring me tonight.

今晚她很可能给我打电话。

She is very likely to ring me tonight.

It isn't likely to rain tomorrow.

明天不大可能下雨。

Note: 许多同学认为以-ly结尾的是副词,其实这是一个误区。如果一个形容词后加-ly,那么常常是一个副词,但是如果在名词后加上-ly,那往往是一个形容词。

例如:

lovely, friendly, manly, comradely 等都是名词加上-ly后变成的形容词。

那个骗子擅长骗人。

3.examine的用法小结:

(1)examine 作及物动词,意思是"检查;细看"。例如:

  All the machines will be examined.

  所有机器都将检查一遍。

"Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass."

"昨天,消防队员们仔细地检查了地面,但未能找到任何碎玻璃。"

(2)examine还有"对...进行考试"的意思,此时常在表示测试科目名词前加介词in或on。

例如:

  He examined the boys in English.

  他考孩子们的英语。

  The teacher will examine the class on everything they have learnt this year.

  教师要考学生今年学过的所有知识。

(3)examine还可以表示"询问;查问;对...进行审查"。例如:

  He was examined by the police.

  他被警察查问。

(4)同义词:test vt. 测试 quiz:n. 测验
