1. entrance, entry

两词都有“入口;进入”之意。entrance不具体指门或大门,而笼统地指入口处。可和of连用,表示“入口”属于该物的组成部分;也可和to连用,表示通往“某处”的途径。使用时,应依句意的着眼点进行选择。该词强调“进入”的行为,如入门、入场、参战等。entrance还指某人的到来、或容许某人入内。entry可具体指入口,包括门、大门、门厅、门廊等。entry指进入组织或指进入的权力,其后多接介词into;也有准许入内的意思,但语气更为庄重。

a. We cant go along that road because the sign says “No ____”.

b. This did a good deal of damage to the ____ of the building.

c. The ____ to the hall is on your right.

d. The thieves had forced an ____ into the building.

答案:a. Entry b. entrance c. entrance d. entry

2. be known as, be known for, be known to, be known by

be known as意为“作为……知名,被称作是,大家公认为,叫作”,后接身份名词;be known for意为“因……而出名,因……而众所周知”,for表示原因;be known to意为“为……所知,……所熟知”,介词后的名词或代词表示为“谁”所知;be known by意为“凭……而知”,by表示手段或标准,作“通过,按照”解。

a. One can ____ his words and deeds.

b. He ____ the police as a thief.

c. Before liberation, this village ____ its extreme poverty.

d. He ____ a fair judge.

答案:a. be known by b. is known to c. was known for d. is known as

3. deal in, deal with, do with

deal in意为“做买卖,卖某物,经营某物”,后接经营或买卖的商品,一般不用被动语态。deal with和do with都可作“处理”解,deal with常和疑问词how连用;do with中的do为及物动词,要带宾语,故常和疑问词what连用。另外,deal with还有“和……做买卖;对付,和……打交道;涉及,论述,关于(主要指书籍、文章或演讲的内容)”等意思。

a. We dont know what to ____ waste things.

b. Such people are difficult ____.

c. Do you ____ Tom, a greedy merchant?

d. They ____ hardware but not software.

答案及解析:a. do with b. to deal with c. deal with d. deal in

4. aim at, aim for

两者的后面均可接名词、代词或动名词,都表示“目的是,旨在”的意义,一般可换用。不同的是,aim at还有“瞄准,对准”的意义,后既可跟表目的的名词,又可跟射击的目标。be aimed at是aim at的被动语态。aim for强调最终目的。总之,at强调“目标”,for强调最终目的。

a. The visit ____ expanding relation between the two countries.

b. What she ____ is to win a scholarship.

c. We ____ the completion of the task by the end of the year.

d. The hunter ____ ____ the lion and fired, but missed it.

答案及解析:a. was amed at b. is aiming at c. aim for d. aimed at

5. insist that, insist on, stick to, persist in

四者都有“坚持”之意。insist后接that从句有两种用法:一是表示“坚持说,坚决认为(主张)”,从句用陈述语气;二是表示“坚决要,坚决要求”,从句用虚拟语气,即谓语用should+动词原形,should可省略。
