    confident作"自信的、有自信心的"解,主要指具有对自己的价值深信不疑,或不自觉地肯定自己无论做什么都会成功,不受怀疑、犹豫及恐惧的干扰,特别是强调乐观的态度。如:
    Our English teacher wants us to feel confident about asking questions when we don't understand.
    我们的英语老师要我们遇到不懂的问题就大胆提问。
    At first, the girls had felt a bit nervous, but then they became more and more confident.

    6. You are generous. 你慷慨大方。
    generous常常译成"慷慨的、大方的、慷慨给予的"。当人们要表示乐于奉献自己的力量或金钱,肯定为别人着想和宽容他人;或者指大份的饭菜或数量很大的奉献物品的意思时,通常用这词。如:
    She gave me a generous present on my birthday. 我生日那天,她给了一份丰厚的礼物。
    It was generous of him to pay for the meal for us. 他为我们付了饭钱,真是大方。
    7. You like to buy your friends nice gifts. 你乐意为朋友购买精美的礼物。
    buy作动词时,后面常接双宾语,即有buy sb. sth.或buy sth. for sb.的用法。如:
    He bought me a new coat. 他给我买了件新外套。
    What are you going to buy for your teachers?  你打算给你们的老师买什么?
    除了buy外,在英语中,还有一些动词后面带有两个宾语。其中一个宾语是直接宾语,另一

是间接宾语,我们把它称为双宾语现象。双宾语里有些位置基本是固定的,teach, ask就属这种情况。如:He taught us English. May I ask you some questions? 有些位置可前可后,但要在两个宾语之间加介词。如在give, pass, lend, show, bring等词后加to;在ask, buy, draw, get, make等词后加for。如:
    Please give me the pen.=Please give the pen to me.
    Can you pass him the ruler?=Can you pass the ruler to him?

    They drew us a good picture.=They drew a good picture for us.
    Please get me a pen.=Please get a pen for me.
    如直接宾语是代词,则无论间接宾语是名词还是代词都应将直接宾语放在动词之后。如:
    Would you please give it to me?你把它给我,好吗?(不能说Would you please give me it.)
    I will buy it for you.我就给你买。(不能说I will buy you it.)
    8. You are a modest person. 你是一个很谦虚的人。

    All of the villagers there live in modest cottages.
    那里所有的村民都住在朴实无华的村舍里。
    9. You worry too much at times. 你有时过于小心。

    参考答案
    1. 选C。also主要是"也"的意思,只用在肯定句中。其余三个词都有"别的"意义。Other后面要接修饰对象,如"What other things do you want(你还需要别的什么东西吗)?只有else跟在疑问代词、疑问副词和不定代词后面。
    2. 选C。本题主要考查对"(to) be + adj + enough to do…"句型的运用。enough要放在被修饰对象的之后。
    3. 选B。在It is/was + adj + of/for sb. to do ……这一句型中,表示客观情况的形容词后面用for sb.,表示主观感情或态度的形容词后面用of sb.。
    4. 选A。这是有关主谓一致问题的试题。前面句中的主语"Half of the class"是复数形式,所以应该在A项和C项中选择。后面的主语"The left"是表示前面句中"the work"余下部分,是不可数名词,因此,排除C项。

    5. 选C。本题是个连词选择题。从句中所表达的意思看,雷锋"was always ready to help others",说明他无论何时何地,以助人为乐为荣,这就需要选引导让步状语连词,所以A项和B项就先行排除。而句中所用动词went,要求用引导地点让步状语的从属连词。
    6. 选B。这是人们在口头经常用来向别人表示致谢的口语。在kind后接介词of you后接动词不定式。
    7. 选A。动词keep后应接动名词,全句的后半句是个从句,需用动词不定式作定语,而difficult暗示要用动词try。
    8. 选C。keep用作连系动词时,后面跟形容词,所以,先排除C项和D项。修饰动词"said to me"要用副词,故D项不符合题意。
    9. 选C。根据题意,河太宽,对swimmers来说,"swim across"有困难,而too……to结构有否定的意义。在too……to结构中,当出现主语是后面动词不定式的逻辑宾语的现象时,如果动词不定式中的动词是不及物动词,要用小品词(介词)过渡。
    10. 选C。当enough作为副词修饰形容词时,要放在修饰的后面。根据句意,是嫌衬衫贵而没有买。
    11. 选A。open是瞬间动词,不能和完成时态连用。open作形容词,be open表示状态"开着的"。
    12. 选D。mind后接doing sth.,所以A项首先排除。B项与题意明显不符。"Better not"与"But don't do it now"的语气不符。
    13. 选A。stop to do sth.是"停下来去做某事",stop doing sth.是"停止做某事",句意是"因为校长有电话,所以他停止和我交谈",故排除B和D。say是"说话",talk是"谈话,交谈"。
    14. 选A。首先以前学过"ask sb. to do sth."或"ask sb. not to sth."的词组。而try to do sth.的否定形式是"try not to do sth."。
    15. 选B。这是一个全面考查"说"的试题。解这个题可以从中间的空先入手,讲什么语言要用"speak",这样就排除了A项和D项。Say后面接"sth.",而tell后接"sb."。
    16. 选C。本题是主要考查两项内容。一是good和well的区别。根据句意,是"我"身体恢复了,可以回学校上课。Well能够用于表示"身体好",而good是表示"人品好"。所以A项和D项不在此列。其次,是考查关于"(to) be + adj + enough to do…"。
    17. 选A。这是一道与生活内容有关的试题。在大型商场、超市,人们经常可以看到选项中的几个符号。Push表示"推",entrance表示"入口",pull表示"拉"。根据题意,是要选表示出口的符号。exit表示"出口"。
    18. 选A。这是一道多元思路题。英语作为交流工具,理应学以致用。本题取自中学学习课程数学方程式内容,使英语更贴近学生的学习
