b)affect是动词,effect是名词,不可相混。affect多指不好的影响,如:

iii. miss和lost的区别是,前者只表示“不见”,后者有“遗失,不易找到”的含义。如:

二. 语法详释
【要点归纳】被动语态
英语语态有两种:主动语态和被动语态。
(一)被动语态主要用于以下几种情况:
1. 动作的承受者是谈话和中心,强调或突出动作承受者的作用时。
(1) Li Ming was elected chairman of the meeting.
(2) Electricity is widely used in our everyday life.
(3) English and Japanese are taught in our school.
2. 只知道动作的承受者,不知道动作的发出者时。
(1) A note was passed up to the speaker.
(2) Machines are put into action.
(3) Paper was first made in China.
3. 为了某种缘故(如礼貌,婉转,修辞上的需要),不愿说出动作发出者是谁时。
(1) You are expected to finish it in time.
(2) It’s hoped that you’ll have a chance to visit China again.
(3) You are cordially invited to a party to be given at the club at 2 p.m. June 25.
(二)具有双宾语的句子被动语态的改法
具有双宾语的句子改为被动语态时可以把两个宾语中的任何一个作为主语。但一般把代表人的宾语改为主语。
1. He gave me a new dictionary.
(1) I was given a new dictionary.
(2) A new dictionary was given to me.
2. Grandma Li told the children an interesting story.
(1) The children were told an interesting story.
(2) An interesting story was told to the children.
(三)某些动词短语的作用相当于一个及物动词,改为被动时不能丢掉后面的介词。
1. They take good care of the children.
→The children are taken good care of.
2. The students will put on a new play at the party.
→A new play will be put on at the party.
(四)在动词make, have, let, see, hear, watch, notice后,如有动词不定式作宾补时,须将不定式中的to省去。但改为被动语态时,to不能省。
1. The boss made the workers work long hours before liberation.
→The workers were made to work long hours before liberation.
2. They often watch us play ball.
→We are often watched to play ball.
(五)被动语态与过去分词作表语的区别。
1. 被动语态表示动作,过去分词作表语表示状态。
2. 被动语态中若动作已经发生要用过去时态,而过去分词作表语表示一般的情况经常可以用一般现在时。
3. 在被动语态中,如果要表明动作是谁发出的可用by短语来表示。过去分词作表语则可跟不同的介词短语。
注意下列几组句子中被动语态与过去分词作表语的不同之处。
(1) The window was broken by a little boy.
The window is broken now.
(2) We were all moved by her story.
Hearing her story, we are all moved.
(3) The children were quickly dressed and taken for a walk in the garden.
The children were well dressed.
(4) I was praised by the teacher for what I had done.
The teacher was satisfied with what I had done.
【高考焦点】
1. Cleaning women in big cities usually get __________ by the hour . NMET1998
A. pay B. paying C. paid D. to pay
解析 :本题中get 相当于助动词be ,后面加过去分词构成被动语态,过去分词含有被动的作用,A项视为名词,表示工资应该说 get one’s pay , B,D干扰不大,容易排除。故选C。
2.When a pencil is partly in a glass of water , it looks as if it _______ . NMET1995
A. breaks B. has broken C. were broken D. had been broken
解析 :as if引导的从句往往用虚拟语气,在这种情况下,用一般过去时表示“现在好象” ;用过去完成时表示 “过去曾经好象 ”;用过去将来时表示 “将来好象 ”。题中 as if 引导的表语从句显然是表示“现在好象是…… ”。故选C .

【重点词语辨析】
instead ,instead of的区别
instead是副词只能单独使用,可位于句首,也可位于句末。用于句首,通常对上句含有否定意义。Instead 引出相反情况。用于句末,常用于两个各自独立的句子,他虽然表示代替的含义,但也常译为“而” “反之” “相反”。有时干脆不译。例 :

Instead of 是介词短语,可接名词,代词,v-ing形式 。 instead of 的前后一般表示一正一反,即肯定一面和否定的一面,常译为“代替” “而不” “不是”“反而”等 。例:
I’ll go instead of you.
When water freezes, it becomes larger in volume instead of smaller.
common ,ordinary的区别
common主要含义是“常见的” ,“普通的” ,“不足为奇的”,有时引申为“平凡”的意思。例:
Smith is a very common name in England.
Common也有“公共的”,“共有的”之意
Parks in a town are common property.
In common 中的 common是名词,(和。。。。。。)有共同之处。例 :
They have a lot in common.
in common with 和。。。。。。一样(作状语)。例:

The professor’s house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite wild and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I fought my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.
I was glad that I had found him, In twenty minutes he put me right on all the points that had puzzled me. As I got ready to leave, I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening, I see.”
“No, I’m not,” he said. “But even so, I love this garden. It’s as I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”
“It could be made lovely. It seems a pity to let all this ground to go to waste. But perhaps you don’t see it that way?”
“I don’t. I lived here when I was c child, and I had more than enough of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby, you see. Unfortunately, he wasn’t fit enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us-with a spade(铁锨)and a fork-year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade(flat, long leaf)of life was an enemy to be rooted out by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”
“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”
“I disliked it. That’s putting it mildly (describe something less strongly). Then, of course, I didn’t understand the effect it had. It used to worry me. It appeared in my dreams a mistake here, something not quite straight there, the enemy showing its head in a place I was supposed to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”
“And now it’s yours, you’re just letting it go to …”.
“Ruin?” he said. “No, I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like watching it grow in its own way. I make no demands on it. I never interfere with(干扰)it, and it never interferes with me. It has freedom at last, and so have I.”
“But the path is overgrown. It’s inconvenient for you, isn’t it?”
“That’s part of my pleasure,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”

If the salinity of ocean waters is examined, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes of changes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction(减少) of water from the ocean by means of evaporation(蒸发)-change from liquid water to water vapor (like gas). In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salts stay behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white crystals(晶体)of salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we can get and use.
The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted (稀释)so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal areas where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff.
Normally, in tropical regions where the sun is very strong the ocean salinity is somewhat higher that it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.
A third process by which salinity may vary is connected with the formation and melting(融化)of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, some materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease salinity of the surrounding water.
In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper part of the oceans of the world.
6. According to the passage, the ocean generally has more salt in ______.
A. coastal areas B. tropical areas C. rainy areas D. cold areas
7. All of the following are processes that decrease salinity except ______.
A. evaporation B. precipitation C. runoff D. melting
8. About the salinity of a body of water, we can infer from the passage that _______.
A. ocean salinity has little effect on sea life
B. the temperature is the most important factor
C. how quickly the water moves is directly related to the amount of salt
D. various factors (因素)combined to cause variation in the salt content of water
9. Which of the following is a result of the formation of ocean ice?
A. The salt in the water decreases.
B. The water becomes less dense.
C. The water beneath forms a deeper layer in the ocean.
D. The surrounding water sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
10. What does the word “salinity” mean in the passage? It means “_______”.
A. the composition of salt waters B. the bodies of water of the world
C. the various changes in water D. the degree of being salt

Dear Kate,
Thank you for your letter. I’m so sorry about last weekend. Let me explain what happened.
We were on our way to the station and were crossing the road when my mother was knocked down by a taxi. She was badly hurt so we took her to hospital. I waited at the hospital and tried to phone my father. (He was out so I kept trying and finally managed to tell him the news.) We spent the rest of the weekend at the hospital. I didn’t have Janice’s telephone number, so I couldn’t ring her. I should have rung your parents and left a message, but I didn’t think of it. I’m very sorry. I apologize for causing you so much worry. (Fortunately, my mother is a little better now.)
Love/Best wishes/Yours,
( Name )
