新概念英语第二册第13课课文详解及语法解析

新概念英语第二册第13课课文详解及语法解析 课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.The Greenwood Boys are a group of pop singers. “绿林少年”是一个流行歌曲演唱团。 (1)group的含义是“组”、“群”、“群体”、“团体”。通常用 a group of表示一群或一个团体： On my way home, I met a group of students. 我在回家的路上遇见了一群学生。 You can see a group of islands in the middle of the lake. 你能够看到湖的中央有一群岛屿。 (2)pop是popular的缩写形式，主要用于口语，意为“通俗的”、“流行的”、“大众的”： Do you like pop songs/ music? 你喜欢流行歌曲/音乐吗? 2.At present, they are visiting all parts of the country. 当前他们正在全国各地巡回演出。 (1)时间状语at present意义与now相同，意为“当前”、“现在”，是个固定短语： The doctor is very busy at present. Come here tomorrow morning. 医生现在非常忙。你明天上午来吧。

(2)all在这里的意思是“各种的”、“各个”，与它通常的意思(“所有的”或“一切的”)稍有不同： You can find all kinds of shoes in this store. 在这家商店你能够见到各种各样的鞋。 3.As usual, the police will have a difficult time. 同往常一样，警察的日子将不好过。 (1)usual的含义为“通常的”、“平常的”、“惯常的”，as usual是固定短语，可译为“像平常一样”、“照例”： On that day, he was late for work as usual. 那天，他像平常一样，上班又迟到了。 (2)difficult 在这里能够解释为“难对付的”、“费劲的”，指麻烦比较多。 4.They will be trying to keep order. 他们将设法维持秩序。 order常用的意义是“次序”、“顺序”。在这句话中它的含义是“治安”、“秩序”，一般用于 keep order(维持秩序)，public order(治安)等短语中。 5.It is always the same on these occasions. 每逢这种场合，情况都是这样。 当用occasion表示在某个/些场合时，它与介词on连用： John has met Mary on three different occasions. 约翰曾在3个不同的场合见过玛丽。 语法 Grammar in use

新概念英语第二册课后练习题答案详解(第14课)新概念英语第二册课后习题Lesson 14 1. b 根据课文第3行I stopped and he asked me for a lift, 只有b. he wanted a free ride in the car 最符合课文内容，而其他3个选择都与课文内容不符合。 2. c 根据课文最后一句话，能够判断c. They each thought the other was French 是准确答案。 a. neither of them spoke French 虽然符合课文内容，但作者并不知道搭车人也不讲法语。 b., d. 都与课文内容不符合。 3. a 本句是一般过去时形式的疑问句，需要选准确的动词形式。 B. drove 不符合语法，因为已经有助动词did 提问了，就不应该用过去式形式;c. driven 和d. driving 也不符合语法; 只有a. drive最符合语法规则。 4. c 只有c. just after 能够替换前一句中的as soon as. 而其他3个选择都与as soon as 意思不同。 5. d 只有d. said (说)最符合题目意思.a. spoke(讲某种语言,同……说话，后面应有to),b. talked(谈话，谈论)，c. told(讲述，告诉)这3个词的词意思都不符合题目意思和习惯用法。

6. b a. many 很多, c. plenty of 充足的,都不用来修饰某种语言. b. much 很多,和 d. a little 都可用在某种语言前面,但 a little 不能用在否定句中,不可说 I don't know a little French. 所以选b. 7. c 只有c. both didn't speak 语法准确，而其他3个选择都有语 法错误，所以我们只能选c. 8. b 前一句中的短语on the way 是“在路上”的意思，只有b. during the writer’s journey(在作者旅途中)同这个短语意思最接近，而另外3个选择都与它的意思不同。 9. c 本句需要选出与前句中的waved to (向……招手)意思相同的词。 a. saluted(向……致意/致敬)词意思不够接近; b. greeted(问候，向……打招呼)意思也不对; d. nodded(点头)表示同意或打招呼，意思也差得远; 只有c. signaled(用手势等动作向……示意)意思同waved to 相同，所以选c. 10. b 本句是要进一步说明前一句的含义He asked for a lift(他提出要搭车)。他的身份应该是什么? A. tramp(徒步旅行者)意思不够准确，因为徒步旅行不应该搭车; c. passenger(乘客，旅客)是坐火车、汽车、飞机的，也不应搭车;d. foreigner(外国人)更不符合题目意思;
