中考英语复习对学生来说是英语学习的一项十分重要的工作。对教师而言,它是对初中三年的教学进行反思和总结,找出教学的盲点和弱点,并实施有效的解决策略的过程。对于在复习过程中学生出现的问题老师应给予足够的关注。
我在复习过程中发现学生对until一词的用法错误较多,而until一词在中考英语试卷中出现频率较高,且not...until又是一个重点结构,同学们必须熟练掌握其用法。于是对until这一词做了一番归纳:
一、从结构上讲,until可与表示时间或地点的词连用。例如:
①He worked until midnight.
②The boy didn’t go to bed until his father came back.
③Go along this street until the bridge, you’ll see the hospital.
二、从词性上讲,until可作介词或连词。例如:
①Most of the shops are not open until nine o’clock.(作介词)
②He didn’t wake up until the class was over.(作连词)
三、从句型上讲,until可用于肯定句,也可用于否定句。
1. 用于肯定句,表示主句动作或状态结束。例如:
①The woman worked in the factory until 2000.(表示在2000年时“work”这个动作结束)
②He had been in Jiangsu for twenty years until he moved to Beijing.(表示他在江苏居住了20年后,搬到北京)
2.用于否定句,构成not...until结构,表示主句动作才开始。例如:
①He didn’t go to bed until the TV play was over.(当电视剧结束时,“上床睡觉”这个动作才开始)
②Thestudentwon’tgohomeuntilhe finishes his homework.(只有当他完成作业时,“回家”这个动作才开始)
在详细讲解后给出了历年的中考题,让学生当堂练习。
