9、赏唇亡齿寒If the Lips Are Gone, the Teeth Will Be ColdBetween the States of Jin and Guo was the State of Yu.晋国和虢国的中间，隔着一个虞国。Once, the State of Jin intended to invade the state of Guo and had to seek for permission to go by way of the State of Yu. The King of Jin was worried that the State of Yu would ref

10、use to consent.有一次，晋国要去进攻虢国，得向虞国借路，国王担心虞国不答应。Xun Xi, a high official of the State of Jin, offered his scheme to the King. He said: “If you offer that piece of round jade and that fine steed as gifts to the King of Yu to ask his permission, he is sure to give his consent.”晋国的大臣荀息向国王献计，说：如果您把那块壁玉和那匹马送

11、给虞王，向他借路，那么他一定会答应的。”The King of Jin said:晋王说：“垂棘的壁玉是我祖先的传家宝；屈地的良马是我最喜欢的骏马，如果虞王接受了我们的礼物，却又不肯借路，那怎么办呢？”“The round jade from Chuji is an heirloom from my ancestors. The fine steed from Qudi is a gret favorite of mine. If the King of Yu accepted our gifts, yet would not give us permission, what shall we

12、 do then?”:荀息回答说：“不会。如果虞王不答应借路，必然不敢接受我们的礼物，如果他接受了礼物，把路借给我们，就好像将壁玉从里边的仓库放到外边的仓库，把良马从里边的马厩栓到外边的马厩里一样，您何必担心呢！”虞王果然贪图壁玉良马，想答应借路。这时候，他的大臣宫子急忙上前劝阻，说：“不能答应，虢国是我们的邻邦，跟我们的关系，就像嘴唇和牙齿一样。唇亡齿寒，如果借路给晋国去进攻虢国，虢国被“灭亡了，我们虞国还会安全吗？万万不能答应”虞王没有听宫子奇的话，还是答应了晋国的要求。不久，荀息带领兵马，灭了虢国。三年后，晋国又灭了虞国。荀息捧着壁玉，牵着骏马，凯旋而归，把这两件国宝奉还了晋王。晋王得意

13、地笑着说：“壁玉依旧，只是骏马老了点儿！”同义词趣味巧辨析31.dress , have sth. on , wear , put on它们都有穿、戴的意思。但用法不同。have sth. on表示穿戴的状态。He had a straw hat on . 他戴了一顶草帽。wear表示穿戴的状态。She likes to wear the light green dress . 她喜欢穿浅绿色的衣服。put on表示穿戴的动作.You d better put on your overcoat before going out 。出门之前你最好穿上大衣。dress既表动作也表状态。The mo

14、ther is dressing her baby . 母亲正给她的婴儿穿衣服。32.take care of, look aftertake care意为“注意”，“当心”，“留心”。可以单独使用，也可以跟不定式或that从句。Take care!The ice is thin。当心!冰很薄。take care of意为“照顾”，“照料”，侧重于负有责任这一层意思，后面的宾语从句可以是人，也可以是某物，比较口语化。Please take care of my house。请照看一下我的家。look after 一般情况下可替换take care of，在意思上强调看管或照料，其宾语可以是物，

15、但多数情况下是人或动物。Will you look after my dog?请照看一下我的狗好吗?33.whether，if这两个连词都作“是否”解，引导宾语从句时，两者通常可以互换。但在下列几种情况下，不可用if 代替whether。1)当whether 与or not连成词组时。I don t know whether or not they will come for our help。我不知道他们是否来帮助我们。2)whether 用在不定式前面时。She hasn t decided whether to go or not。她还没有决定去还是不去。3)whether引导的从句放在

16、句首时。Whether this is true or not,I can t say。这是不是真的，我不说(或我说不准)34.either ,eitheror, neither, neithernor, both andeither其意为“两者中的任何一个”。There are many shops on either side of the street. 街道两边有许多商店。either用在否定句的句末，表示也的意思。If you don t go there, I won t, either. 如果你不去那里，我也不去。either.or.。意为或者或者;不是就是之意。表示两者之一，连

17、接句子中两个并列的成分。either.or.。连接两个主语时，其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致，这就是我们通常说的就近原则。Either you or I am going there tomorrow。明天要么你去那里，要么我去那里。neither作主语，表示“两者中没有一个”。Neither of them likes football. 他们俩都不喜欢足球。neither.nor.。表示“既不也不”。其含义是否定的，可连接任意两个并列的成份。She likes neither butter nor cheese. 她既不喜欢黄油也不喜欢乳酪。当neither.nor.。连

18、接两个主语时，也应遵循“就近原则”。例如：Neither dad nor mum is at home today. 今天父母都不在家。若将neither.nor.。句型变为肯定句，只需把neither.nor.。改为both.and.。即可，同时谓语动词必须用复数形式。例如： Both dad and mum are at home today. 今天父母都在家。中考重难知识点回顾正误辨析误 The sun sets toward the west.正 The sun sets in the west.析 towards也可用作toward，它主要表达朝向某方向运动，但不一定到达，如：He

19、ran toward(s) the mountain.而在表示方位east, west, north, south 时，其前面要用in。要注意的是这4个词可以用作副词，如：I went south. 也可用作名词，如：I went to the south.也可用作形容词，如：I went to the south part of China.误 Do you have no other clothes except those?正 Do you have no other clothes besides those?析 beside 是在旁边，如：The students stood bes

20、ide their teachers.而besides是除之外，不仅而且，除了以外还有， 如：I studied English besides French, when I was in college. 而except 则是从同一类物体中去掉某一部分，如：I come here every day except Sunday. 而except for 是指去掉不同种类的事物，如：The room is clean except for two chairs. 而except that则要加从句。误 Can I write the exam paper with ink?正 Can I wr

21、ite the exam paper with a pen?正 Can I write the exam paper in ink?析 with后要加拿得起来放得下的工具，而墨水、颜料等原料则要用in。误 Im earlier today. I came here by his car.正 Im earlier today. I came here in his car.析 在交通工具前加介词by，但不能再有任何指示代词或冠词，否则要改换相应的介词。by taxi=in a taxi练习题（一）Big BenBig Ben is not the name of a man. It is the
