30、 with speed at the speed of或者at speed,意为“以的速度”。而当speed被all, lightning, great等修饰时,介词应用with。我们可用一句口诀来帮助记忆:都(all)以闪电般(lightning)大(great)的速度行驶。如:Our car was running with all speed on the expressway 我们的车在高速公路上全速行驶。The Long March No2 Rocket sent up the satellite into space at the speed of 112 kilometers per second 长征二号火箭以每秒钟112公里的速度将卫星发射到太空。B becausesinceasfor 这四个词都是表示原因或理由的连接词,但是as,because,since是从属连词,引导原因状语从句,for是并列连词,所引导的不是原因状语从句,而是表示理由的对等句子,是对前面所讲内容补充和说明。在语气上由强至弱依次为becausesinceasfor。because引导的从句多置于句末,表示直接的原因或理由,表示产生那种结果的必然的因果关系,在回答why的提问时,必须用because作答。 如:We stayed at home because i
