678(錄取吧)招生信息網(wǎng)的小編整理出高考英語(yǔ)常用詞匯辨析500組具體如下:
A
about around round 作副詞時(shí)都含“四處”、“遍地”的意思。
about 系常用詞, 如:
look about 四處看。
around 具有 about 的基本意思, 因此 look about=look around, 但在下列短語(yǔ)里 around沒(méi)有 about正式, 如: travel around 各處旅行
round 和 around在非正式用法中可以互換, 但一般用 round時(shí)更簡(jiǎn)練。在正式用語(yǔ)中, 一般用 round指“旋轉(zhuǎn)”, 而用 around指“處處”, “到處”, 如:
She turned round at such a noise. 聽到這樣的吵聲, 她回頭看。
I have been looking for it all around. 我到處都找過(guò)了。
另外, 英國(guó)人用 round的地方, 美國(guó)人傾向于用 around, 如:
[英] Winter comes round.[美] Winter comes around.
above all;after all;at all
above all意為“尤其是”、“首先”、“最重要的是”,常位于句首或句中,作插入語(yǔ),起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用。
But above all tell me quickly what I have to do.可首先快些告訴我該做什么。
A clock must above all keeps good time.時(shí)鐘最重要的是必須走得準(zhǔn)。
after all意為“畢竟”、“終究”、“終歸”、“到底”,在句中位置較靈活??晌挥诰涫住⒕渲谢蚓淠H纾?br />
After all,your birthday is only two weeks away.畢竟,兩周后就是你的生日。
He is,after all,a small child.他畢竟還是個(gè)小孩子。
He failed after all.他終于失敗了。
at all用于否定句時(shí),意為“絲毫;根本”,用于疑問(wèn)句時(shí)意為“究竟;到底”,用于條件句時(shí),常譯為“當(dāng)真;實(shí)在”。用于肯定句中,表示說(shuō)話人的某種情緒或情感(如懷疑或驚奇等),意為“竟然”等。
He doesn’t like you at all.他根本不喜歡你。
Are you going to do it at all?你究竟做不做這件事?

I was surprised at his coming at all.他竟然來(lái)了,我很驚訝。
add; add to; add…to; add up to
add作“加,增加”解時(shí),既可作及物動(dòng)詞,又可用作不及物動(dòng)詞;作“又說(shuō),補(bǔ)充說(shuō)”解時(shí),與直接或間接引語(yǔ)連用。如:
If the tea is too strong, add some more hot water. 如果茶太濃了,再加點(diǎn)開水。
After a short while, he added that he would try his best. 過(guò)了一會(huì)兒,他又接著說(shuō)他會(huì)盡力。
add to意為“增添,增加,增進(jìn)”。如:
The bad weather added to our difficulties. 惡劣的天氣增加了我們的困難。
add...to意為“把……加到……”,是把前一項(xiàng)加到后一項(xiàng)之后或之中。如:
Add two to seven, and you will get nine.七加二等于九。
add up to意為“加起來(lái)總共是/累計(jì)得”,該短語(yǔ)不用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。如:
All his school education added up to no more than one year. 他的學(xué)校教育加起來(lái)不過(guò)一年。
affair; thing; matter; business
affair意為“事情、事件”, 含義較廣,泛指已做或待做的事;復(fù)數(shù)affairs一般指商業(yè)事務(wù)及政府的日常事務(wù),如財(cái)政管理、外交事務(wù)等。
thing意為“事情、事物”,不管大事小事、好事壞事均稱為thing,一般不能專指事務(wù);復(fù)數(shù)things還可作“形勢(shì)”解。
matter側(cè)重指須留心的要事或問(wèn)題、難題。
business作“事務(wù)、事情”解時(shí),一般不能用復(fù)數(shù),常常指所指派的任務(wù)、責(zé)任;有時(shí)說(shuō)的是指派的工作或商業(yè)上的買賣活動(dòng)。
a great deal; a great deal of
a great deal用作名詞,意為“大量”,“許多”,作主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ);用作副詞,意為“很”或“非?!保鳡钫Z(yǔ),修飾動(dòng)詞或用來(lái)強(qiáng)調(diào)比較級(jí)。如:
A great deal has been studied and this is the best way. 經(jīng)過(guò)大量研究后,這(被認(rèn)為)是最好的辦法。

大量的時(shí)間/金錢/能源花在那個(gè)工程上了。

agree on作“就……取得一致意見”解。例如:
The building of a new car factory was agreed on last month.
上月,就建一座新汽車廠之事達(dá)成了協(xié)議。
agree to有兩層含義和用法:
其一是to作為動(dòng)詞不定式符號(hào),其后跟動(dòng)詞原形,作“同意(答應(yīng))做某事”解。
My father agreed to buy a new pen for me. 父親答應(yīng)給我買支新鋼筆。
其二是to作為介詞,之后跟表示“計(jì)劃/條件/建議等一類的名詞或代詞”。例如:
They have a greed to our plan.他們已同意我們的計(jì)劃。
agree with作“同意某人的意見”解,其后可跟表示人的名詞或代詞,也可跟表示“意見”或“說(shuō)的話”的名詞或從句。例如:

agree that作“認(rèn)為……”解,其后跟賓語(yǔ)從句。例如:
I agree that your composition is very good. 我認(rèn)為你的這篇作文寫得不錯(cuò)。
allow;let 二者均可作“允許”解,但各有側(cè)重:allow重在“允許”或“容許”,也可表示客氣的請(qǐng)求。例如: He allowed me to take his dictionary.他允許我拿走他的詞典。 Will you allow me to use your bike? 我可以用你的自行車嗎? let作“允許”或“讓”解,主要用于口語(yǔ),一般可與allow互換。作“允許”解時(shí),常暗含“聽任”、“默許”之意;作“讓”解時(shí),常含“祈使”或“建議”之意。注意:let之后作賓補(bǔ)的不定式不帶to,且不可用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),而allow則相反。例如: Please let me walk with you(=Please allow me to walk with you.).我(請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我)跟你一起走。注:allow常用于allow sb.to do sth.或allow doing sth.結(jié)構(gòu)中。
although; though; as
三者均可表示“盡管;雖然”,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。although用法較正式,語(yǔ)氣較強(qiáng);though較常用;as則主要用于倒裝句。它們的用法有如下幾點(diǎn)值得注意:
狀語(yǔ)從句由although, though或as引導(dǎo),主句之前不可有but, and, so, however等并列連詞,但可有yet或still等副詞。although與though??苫Q。例如:
Although/Though he believes it, yet he will not act. 他雖然相信它,但卻不肯有所行動(dòng)。
as表示“盡管;雖然”,只能用于倒裝句,即:將表語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ)或謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞放在as之前。though也可這么用。例如:
Young as/though he is, he knows a lot. 他雖然年紀(jì)不大,卻懂得很多。
注意:如果表語(yǔ)是單數(shù)名詞,要省略a。例如:
Child as/though he is, he can speak two foreign languages. 雖然他是個(gè)孩子,但他會(huì)說(shuō)兩門外語(yǔ)。
though可以放在句末,表示“但是”,although卻不能。例如:
They said they would come; they did not, though. 他們說(shuō)他們會(huì)來(lái),可是他們并沒(méi)有來(lái)。
although只用來(lái)陳述“事實(shí)”,不能表示“假設(shè)”。因此可以說(shuō)even though“即使”以及as though“好像(=as if)”,不能說(shuō)even although或as although。例如:
I believe you are on duty—even though you’re in plain clothes. 盡管你穿著便衣,我相信你是在值勤。
among/between
這兩個(gè)介詞都有“在……之間”的意思。between常用于兩者之間;among一般指三者或三者以上之間。若指三個(gè)以上人或物中的每?jī)蓚€(gè)之間時(shí),仍然要用between。
例如:The girl walked between her father and mother.這個(gè)女孩走在她父親和母親之間。
She is the tallest among her classmates.她在她同學(xué)之間是最高的。
Switzerland lies between France,Italy,Austria and Germany.
瑞士位于法國(guó)、意大利、奧地利和德國(guó)之間。
argue debate dispute 都含“辯論”的意思。
argue 著重“說(shuō)理”、“論證”和“企圖說(shuō)服”, 如:
I argued with her for a long time, but she refused to listen to reason.
我和她辯論了好久, 但她還是不聽。
debate 著重“雙方各述己見”, 內(nèi)含“交鋒”的意思, 如:
We have been debating about the issue.我們一直在就這個(gè)問(wèn)題進(jìn)行辯論。
dispute 指“激烈爭(zhēng)辯”, 含有“相持不下”或“未得解決”之意,如:
Whether he will be elected as chairman is still disputed.他是否當(dāng)選為主席, 仍然有爭(zhēng)論。
argue;quarrel;discuss
這三個(gè)動(dòng)詞均有“爭(zhēng)”的意思,但“爭(zhēng)”法不同。
argue著重就自己的看法或觀點(diǎn),提出論證,同他人“爭(zhēng)論”或“辯論”。例如:
We heard them arguing in the other room.我們聽見他們?cè)诹硪粋€(gè)房間里爭(zhēng)論。
另外,argue同with搭配,其后接人;與about連用,其后接事物。例如:
We argued with them about this problem for a long time.這個(gè)問(wèn)題我們同他們辯論了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。
quarrel是指對(duì)某事不喜歡或強(qiáng)烈不滿而發(fā)生的“爭(zhēng)吵”或“吵架”。同with搭配,其后接某人;和about連用,其后接某事。例如:
He often quarrels about their housework with his wife.他常為家務(wù)事同妻子爭(zhēng)吵。
discuss是指認(rèn)真交換自己的意見或看法的“討論”。例如:
We'll discuss the use of the articles tomorrow.明天我們將討論冠詞的用法。
as (so) far as; as (so) long as
as(so)far as的意思是“就……而言(所知)”,as (so) far as sth.is concerned是其中一種具體用法,意為“就某事而言”;as (so) long as意為“只要”,引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。如:
As far as I know, more than 10 million laid-off workers have found their new jobs.
就我所知,一千多萬(wàn)下崗工人已經(jīng)找到了新的工作。
There is nothing that we can’t do so / as long as we keep on trying to do it.
只要我們不斷地努力去做,就沒(méi)有什么事干不成。
As far as the tourism of China is concerned, there is a long way to go.
就中國(guó)的旅游業(yè)而言,需要做的工作還很多。
asleep/sleeping 二者都是形容詞。asleep僅用作表語(yǔ),不能作定語(yǔ),表示“睡著,熟睡”的意思;而sleeping一般只能用作定語(yǔ),放在名詞前,表示“睡眠中的,休止的”意思。
如:我們不能說(shuō):an asleep baby,但可以說(shuō):a sleeping baby(一個(gè)熟睡的嬰兒)。
再如:He was asleep with his head on his arms.他頭枕著手臂在熟睡。
asleeping dog正在熟睡的狗 sleeping car臥車 sleeping bag睡袋
assert,affirm,maintain ? assert宣稱、斷言,常指某人主觀自信,堅(jiān)持己見,有時(shí)不顧客觀事實(shí)而斷言下結(jié)論。 affirm指以事實(shí)為依據(jù),深信不疑地肯定某種觀點(diǎn)或看法。 maintain指在相反的證據(jù)或論點(diǎn)面前,重申原來(lái)的某種觀點(diǎn)、立場(chǎng)。

even though(=even if),意為“即使”,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。though也引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句,意為“雖然”;even though有退一步設(shè)想的意味,與though不同。though引導(dǎo)的句子所說(shuō)的是事實(shí),even though引導(dǎo)的句子所說(shuō)的則不一定是事實(shí)。例如:
He will not tell the secret even though(even if)he knows it.即使他知道這個(gè)秘密,他也不肯說(shuō)出來(lái)。
He will not tell the secret though he knows it.他雖然知道這個(gè)秘密,但他不會(huì)說(shuō)出來(lái)。
at the beginning;in the beginning ? at the beginning 在……初;在……開始的時(shí)候。常與of連用。例如: Students usually have a study plan at the beginning of term. 學(xué)生們?cè)陂_學(xué)初制定學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃。 in the beginning 相當(dāng)于at first,表示“起初、開始”時(shí),含“起初是這種情況,而后來(lái)卻不是這種情況”之意,不與of連用。例如: In the beginning,some of us took no interest in physics. 起初我們有些人對(duì)物理不感興趣。

到你十四歲的時(shí)候,你將學(xué)會(huì)2000多個(gè)英語(yǔ)單詞。
at the time; at that time; at one time; at a time
at the time通常用于過(guò)去時(shí)句子中,指某件事情發(fā)生的“當(dāng)時(shí)”、“那時(shí)”。例如:
Many people saw the strange thing happen at the time. 當(dāng)時(shí),許多人都看到了這件奇怪的事情的發(fā)生。
有時(shí),at the time的后面可接“of...”短語(yǔ)。這時(shí),它表示“在(某事態(tài))發(fā)生的時(shí)候”或“在……的時(shí)代”。例如:

at ... speed / with ... speed
at the speed of或者at ... speed,意為“以……的速度”。而當(dāng)speed被all, lightning, great等修飾時(shí),介詞應(yīng)用with。我們可用一句口訣來(lái)幫助記憶:都(all)以閃電般(lightning)大(great)的速度行駛。如:
Our car was running with all speed on the expressway. 我們的車在高速公路上全速行駛。
The Long March No.2 Rocket sent up the satellite into space at the speed of 11.2 kilometers per second.長(zhǎng)征二號(hào)火箭以每秒鐘11.2公里的速度將衛(wèi)星發(fā)射到太空。

這四個(gè)詞都是表示原因或理由的連接詞,但是as,because,since是從屬連詞,引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句,for是并列連詞,所引導(dǎo)的不是原因狀語(yǔ)從句,而是表示理由的對(duì)等句子,是對(duì)前面所講內(nèi)容補(bǔ)充和說(shuō)明。在語(yǔ)氣上由強(qiáng)至弱依次為because→since→as→for。because引導(dǎo)的從句多置于句末,表示直接的原因或理由,表示產(chǎn)生那種結(jié)果的必然的因果關(guān)系,在回答why的提問(wèn)時(shí),必須用because作答。 because/since/as/for
如:We stayed at home because it rained.因?yàn)橄掠晡覀兇粼诩依铩?br />
as與since引導(dǎo)的從句多置于句首,不過(guò)as表示十分明顯的原因,只說(shuō)明一般的因果關(guān)系,可譯為“因?yàn)?、由于”;而since則表示稍加分析、對(duì)方已知的原因,一般可譯為“既然”。如:
As he was not feeling well,I decided to go there alone.由于他身體欠佳,我決定獨(dú)自去那里。
Since everyone is here,let's start.既然大家都到了,咱們就開始吧。
for引導(dǎo)的從句一般放在句末,其前用逗號(hào),它所敘述的理由是間接的,即推測(cè)性理由,或是對(duì)前面敘述的事實(shí)或看法的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明。如:
There must be nobody in the classroom,for the light is off.
教室里一定沒(méi)有人,因?yàn)闊魷缌?。(推測(cè)性理由)

believe和believe in后均可接表示人的名詞或代詞,但含義不同。試比較:
I believe in him(I think he is a frustworthy man).我信任他。
I believe him.(I believe what he says).我相信他的話。
belief faith trust confidence? 都含有“相信”的意思。

besides;except;but?
三者都可以用作介詞。用于肯定句中時(shí),except/but意為“除……外(不再有)”;besides意為“除……外(還有)”。請(qǐng)比較:
