Test Four

定语从句中关系代词that的用法

1)在既指人又指事物的两个或两个以上的先行词后面。例如:

They are talking about the people and countries that they had visited. 2)在限制性定语从句中有形容词最高级的先行词后面。例如: He is the best student that I have ever met.

3)在以“It is...”,“It was...”等开头的强调句中,和相应的疑问句中。如: What is it that he wants? 4)在only, all, little的后面 This is all that I know.

5)在no, every, some和any等词后面,也包括在它们的复合词在内。如: There is no person that is always in the right. Is there anything that I can do for you? 近义词辨析

beautiful, goodlooking, handsome, lovely, pretty 这组词均含有“美丽”、“漂亮”、“可爱”的意思。

Beautiful指能不仅给人带来感官上的快乐,而且通过感官产生思想和灵魂的愉悦,在同类词中层次最高。 She was even more beautiful than I had remembered.她比我记忆中的她更漂亮了。 Good looking 不如handsome, pretty意思强烈,指一般的“好看”或“悦目”。

That goodlooking young man visited the house once or twice a week.那个长相不错的年轻人一星期光顾一两次。

handsome 通常是一种客观的不带感情色彩的评价。一个人如被形容为handsome,是指此人外貌符合观察者的要求,但不激发更深层的感受。

He looked very handsome in his dark suit.他穿深色西装显得非常英俊。

lovely比感官的快乐更进一步,是强调纯粹情感上的愉悦,指觉得某人或某物“可爱”。 Mary has two lovely daughters.玛丽有两个可爱的女儿。

pretty也是“漂亮、可爱”的意思。很少形容大而有影响力的事物,多形容事物不以其优秀、完美而以小巧、优雅、精致见长,使人容易接受并喜爱。

Her boyfriend believes that she is the prettiest girl in the town.她男朋友觉得她是镇上最漂亮的女孩。
