Unit 9
1. examination/test/quiz
[一語擊破]這三個詞都是“考試”的意思,但含義有所不同:examination通常只指正式的“考試”,如期終考試,入學(xué)考試等。
He did very well in the entrance examinations.
他在入學(xué)考試中成績很好。
exam為examination的縮寫,常用于口語,多為學(xué)生使用。
I have to prepare for tomorrows exam. 我必須準(zhǔn)備明天的考試。
test指“小考”或“考查”。
Theres going to be an English test this morning.
今天上午將進行一次英語小考。
quiz指“測驗”,特指事先無準(zhǔn)備,隨時進行的測驗,也可指(廣播節(jié)目等中的)一般知識測驗,問答比賽,猜謎等。
Our teacher gave us a ten-minute quiz.
我們的老師對我們進行了一次十分鐘的測驗。
注意:說某科考試,在學(xué)科的詞前面用in或on都可以。例如:exami-nation in (或on) English grammar(英語語法考試),用in比用on普通。test可指(做)物理,化學(xué)等試驗。

2. a few/few/a little/little
[一語擊破]它們在語法中稱為限定詞,a few和few一般與可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)一起使用。a few意思上相當(dāng)于some或several, few的否定意義更強烈一些,有時它們也可以作為代詞,代替上文所提到的名詞。例如:
It is snowing heavily, but there are still a few children playing out-side. 雖然外面正下著大雪,但是仍舊有一些孩子在玩。
This math problem is so difficult that few students in our class can work it out. 這道數(shù)學(xué)題太難了,班里幾乎沒有人能做出來。
——Do you want some eggs? 你想要一些雞蛋嗎?
——Yes. Just a few. 是的,就要一些吧。
a little和little在使用方法上與few和a few基本相同,只是它們與不可數(shù)名詞一起使用或代替上文所提到的不可數(shù)名詞。更重要的是a little和little還是程度副詞,可以修飾形容詞或副詞。例如:
There is little ink in the bottle. 瓶子里幾乎沒有墨水了。
I have still a little water here. 我這里還有一些水。
It looks a little difficult. 看起來有點困難。
