关于被动语态
1. 某些表示状态的及物动词，如：have , own , possess , lack , want , fit ,
suit , become , last , cost , fail , escape , hold等。例如：

The reason escaped me .
注意：have作为“有”讲时不能用于被动语态，作为行为动词时也不用于被动语态。
I have just had a letter from my sister .
2. 当宾语是反身代词或相互代词时，不能用于被动语态。例如：
I cut myself when I was cutting meat .
We should help each other .
3. 当宾语是身体的某一部分或器官时，不能用于被动语态。例如：
He shook his head . He laid his hand on the table .
4. 当宾语是表示地点处所的名词时，不能用于被动语态。例如：
She left Shanghai yesterday .
We entered the room one by one .
但是，jump和reach后的地点和处所宾语可在被动语态中作主语。例如：
The fence was jumped by the horse .
The top of the mountain was reached at 4:00 pm .
5. 当宾语是同源宾语时，不能用于被动语态。例如：
He died a heroic death .
She smiled her charming smile .
常考点before
我觉得before 这个词的用法让很多学生都感到棘手，通过试题评讲，我从中收集了不少关于before的例句，在此我给同学们作个总结：
1. 之前
Tom’s father had died before he came back.
在汤姆回来之前，他父亲就已经死了。
2. 之后（才）
It will be many years before the chemicals start to escape from the containers
. （SEFCIIIA）
要过很多年之后，这些化学物品才开始从容器中流出来。
3. 不等……就
Someone called me up in the middle of the night , but he hung before I could
answer the phone. （NMET 2000）
半夜有人给我打电话，但还没等我去接，对方就挂断了。
在以上这些意思中，我着重讲讲第2个意思：
一. 在时态上
主句的时态可以是将来时，也可以是过去时，但从句的时态，要么是一般现在时，要么是一般过去时，根据具体情况而定。
It will be 2 years before we graduate from the middle school.
两年之后，我们才中学毕业。
It was long before he began to do his homework.
过了很长时间，他才开始做作业。
二. 在句式上
主句不仅有肯定式，也可有否定式。肯定结构意义为：过多久才，需要多久才；否定结构意义为：不久就……
It was long before they finished their task.
过了很长时间，他们才完成任务。
It wasn’t long before the people took up their arms.
不久，人民就开始拿起了武器。
三. 在用词上
在句型“…long before ”中，long也可换成hours , day , weeks
, some time 等。
It will be hours before he arrives.
要过好几个小时他才会到。
It will be 2 weeks before we meet again.
两个星期后我们还会再次见面。
It will be some time before we know the full result.
还要过一些时间我们才能知道全部结果。
四. 在句型对比上（important）
before 的这一用法与since等词用法很容易混淆，值得注意。
1. It has been 5 years _B _____ my
sister returned from abroad.
2. It is 5 years ago ___C__ my sister returned from abroad.
3. It was the years 1990 __D_____ my sister returned from abroad.
4. It will be 5 years ____A___ my sister returns from abroad.
A. before B. since C. that D. when
1. 我姐姐回国已有五年了。（B）
2. 我姐姐是在五年前回国的。（C）
这是一个强调句型，如果还原的话应该是：
My sister returned from abroad 5 years ago.
本句就是针对5 years ago 进行强调而得来的。
3. 我姐姐于1990年回国。（D）时间状语从句
本句中“it”指时间。再如：
It was 5 o’clock when he came back.（It was at 5 o’clock that he
came back）
4. 要过五年我姐姐才回国。（A）
关于书面表达
1. 细心审题
审题，即考生动笔前通过仔细阅读试题，明确目的要求。书面表达题可能是以汉语提示为信息，也可能是以一组画面为信息，还有可能是以英语短文为信息，无论是以何种方式提供信息，只要细心审题，考生理解命题意图和所要表达的内容，一般不会存在太大的问题，因为书面表达题仅是简易的英语写作，要求并不太高，但这并不是说，审题就不重要了。通过审题可以达到：（1）明确体裁。书面表达虽然重在内容，但格式也不能忽视。如NMET’99书面表达，回信中的开头语和结束语者都是基本要点，不可遗漏。（2）确定内容。弄清题目设置的情景或提供的要点，便能紧扣题意，定什么不写什么，做到心中有数，避免随心所欲，文不对题。（3）确定人称。弄清命题者要求考生用什么人称。历年书面表达题都对人称提出要求。如NMET’97、’98书面表达评分标准就明确规定：“凡不以第一人称口吻表述者，从原得分中扣除7分。”但历年高考都有考生在没有确定人称的情况下匆匆动笔，结果白白丢分。（4）确定时态语态。时态语态的准确运用，亦是判断书面表达好坏的一条重要标准。一般说来，说明文、议论文多用一般现在时，记日记多用一般过去时，记叙文多用一般过去时和过去进行时。通过审题，明确体裁，知道事情发生的时间，对确定时态起着关键作用。
2. 理顺要点
根据考纲要求，漏写或没写清要点均要失分。理顺要点，是防止多写、漏写、乱写，保证内容完整的行之有效的办法，有的书面表达要点并非按事件发生顺序提供，考生须通过严密的构思加以条理化，最好在写作前将试题中的要点用笔标出，然后按事件先后或各要点之间的内在联系排列好。如果是看图作文，则要依次观察每幅图画，再将每幅画的含意加以连贯，构思出文章的整体框架。有的抽象事物，如心理活动很难通过图画直观地表达出来，这就要求考生仔细观察细节，从人物的衣着、外部表情入手，分析其心理活动，挖掘其内涵因素，使心理描写符合事情发展的逻辑。理顺要点，既可保证不遗漏所要表达的信息，又可使表达的内容条理清楚，否则写出的文章就有可能语无伦次，颠三倒四。
3. 组织句子
将理顺的要点逐句表达出来，这是书面表达的关键的一步。完成这个步骤要注意：（1）书面表达重在达意，不要简单直译，而要用自己最有把握的短语或句型将意思完整表达出来，切忌使用冷僻词语，切忌用汉语句型去套用英语，乃至写出大量汉式英语。（2）如果碰上汉语提示中一时找不着相对应的英语词语或句型，不要轻易放弃，要开动脑筋，学会用内容相近的句子来表达。（3）尽可能写结构简单的句子，少用自己尚无把握的复合句。（4）选择正确的人称、时态、语态，注意冠词、单复数、大小写、标题等。上述几点在组织句子时若能高度重视，则错误便可大大减少。
4. 串句成篇
这个过程就是将写好的句子连贯地组织起来，形成短文。串句成篇，绝不是将一句话一句话简单地排在一起，要注意上下句的逻辑关系，必要时使用一些表示并列、递进、让步、转折、因果等意义的关联词语。有的书面表达还可以分段，但段与段之间要过渡自然。若词数少于题目要求，可适当增加一些与内容相关的句子；若词数多于题目要求，也可考虑将能够合并的句子合并起来。
5. 检查修改
文章草稿写成后，默读一至两遍，检查修改，看文章是否对题，格式是否正确，内容是否完整，文句有无语病，行文是否连贯，拼写是否错误，词数是否恰当。有的书面表达题要求考生自拟标题，考生这时要注意不要丢掉标题，还要注意标题首字母的大写（标题中实词则大写首字母，虚启则不必大写）；如命题者不要求考生自拟标题的则不必拟标题，以免画蛇添足。经过检查修改后，再认真誊写，力求卷面整洁。这样经过周密思考、按步骤写出来的文章，比起毫无计划、信手拈来的文章质量肯定要好得多。
总之，书面表达题是英语高考试题中的一道大题，它又是考生通过短期训练能够迅速提高水平的一道题，很值得考生在这道题上下点功夫

“情态动词＋完成时”是历年高考的热点，在做此类练习时，既需要掌握这一结构的基本用法，又应该仔细体会题干所提供的语言信息，准确理解语言环境和说话人的含义，尤其要注意题干中时态给予的暗示。为了便于同学们学习，现将这种结构的主要用法归纳如下：
1. must have done 表示对已经发生的事情的推测，意为“一定，想必”。这种结构一般只用于肯定句，其否定形式是can’t （couldn’t）have done ，表示“不可能，肯定不会”。例如：
He didn’t hear the phone . He must have been asleep.
他没有听到电话响，他肯定是已经睡着了。
He must have been to Shanghai.
他一定去过上海。
They can’t have gone out , because the light is on .
他们不可能出去，因为灯亮着。
2. can（could）have done表示对过去的时间内可能发生的事情的猜测，can have done 一般只用于否定句和疑问句。could have done 还可以用于肯定句，常用来表示本来可能完成而实际未完成的动作。例如：
He can’t have finished the work so soon.
这项工作他不可能完成得这样快。
We could have walked to the station , it was so near .
我们本来是可以走到车站去的，路很近。
3. may（might）have done 表示对已经发生的事情的不太肯定的推测，意为“可能已经，或许已经”。例如：
If we had taken the other road , we might have arrived earlier.
如果我们选择另一条路，我们可能会到得早一些。
He might have given you more help , he was very busy .
他本来是可以给你更多帮助的，尽管他很忙。
4. needn’t have done 指实际上做了本来不必要做的事，意为“本来不必”。例如：
There was plenty of time . She needn’t have hurried.
时间很充裕，她本不必匆忙。
You needn’t have told him the news.
他本来不必把这个消息告诉他。
5. should （ought to ）have done 指本该做而实际未做的事，意为“本来应该”。其否定式shouldn’t（oughtn’t）have done 则表示某种行为不该发生但却发生了。例如：
You should have started earlier , but you didn’t.
你本应该早一点出发，但是你没有。
You ought to have helped him （but you didn’t ）. 你本应该帮助他。
We shouldn’t have waited for her because she never came.
我们本不应该等她，因为她根本不会来。
倒装句分为全部倒装和部分倒装。全部倒装即把谓语提到主语之前，部分倒装即把谓语动词中一部分提到主语之前。究其原由，一是语法需要，二是修辞需要。但在实际应用中，特别是在复合句中，学生常常分不清楚是在主句中倒装，还是在从句中倒装。下面就中学英语中的这种现象加以列举。
（一）在主句中倒装
1. not only…but also…连接两个对等成分时
Not only was everything he had taken away from him, but also his German
citizenship.
Not only should we not be afraid of difficulties, but we should overcome them.
2. so…that… 结构中，强调so 所修饰的词时，句子倒装
So loudly did he speak that every one of the class could hear him.
So shallow is the lake that no fish can live in it .
3. hardly (scarcely) …when…,no sooner…than…结构中，强调否定意义的词时
Hardly had I reached the bus stop when the bus started.
No sooner had he arrived home than he was asked to start on another journey.
4. not until位于句首时

sth.。

8. out of “without”之意
