Ⅱ.重点句型详解

1．It seemed as if the world was at an end! 世界似乎到了末日！

It seems (to sb.) that... (对某人来说)似乎……＝Sb. seems to do/to be doing/to have done...

It seems as if/though... “似乎(好像)……”，可接虚拟语气。

seem＋(to be)＋n./adj. 似乎是……

There seems to be... 好像有……

It seems so. (＝So it seems.) 似乎是那样。

①It seemed that he had known the truth.＝He seemed to have known the truth. 他好像知道了真相。

②His father seems (to be) strict.他父亲似乎很严厉。

③There seemed to be a voice in the distance.似乎远处有人说话。

辨析：seem/look/appear

(1)seem 暗含有一定的根据，往往是接近实际的判断，后可接介词、形容词、不定式或从句。

(2)look 着重由视觉而得出的印象，可与 like连用，但不能与不定式连用。可接 as if从句，不接 that从句。

(3)appear 强调外表给人的印象，而且事实往往并非如此。可接 that从句，不接 as if从句。

[即境活用1]—What a noise! I can hardly stand it.

—It ______ as if they are having a party next door.
A．looks　　B．seems  C．appears D．happens

解析：C、D项不接 as if从句。A项不合题意。考查 It seems as if...句式。

答案：B

2．In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. 在农家院子里，鸡和猪都烦躁不安，以致不吃食。

too...to... 句型表示“太……以至于不能……(表否定)”，可转化为 not...enough to...和 so...that...。

The child is too young to dress himself.

=The child is not old enough to dress himself.

=The child is so young that he can't dress himself.这孩子太小，不能够自己穿衣。

提示：(1)当 too后接 easy, ready, happy, willing, eager 或 anxious时，to 后的动词表示肯定。例如：

The book is too easy to understand.这本书太容易理解了。

He was too anxious to leave.他急于离开。

(2)too...not to... 句式表示肯定意思。例如：

He is too careful not to have noticed it.他那么细心，不会不注意到这一点的。

(3)too...to...中 too前面用了否定词(如 never)时，表示肯定。例如：

It is never too late to mend.改过不嫌晚。

(4)only too...to...表示肯定，其中 too后的形容词多数是表示某种心情的，如 glad, pleased, willing, thankful, delighted, determined 等，也有描绘性的形容词，如 good, kind, true等。例如：

The girl is only too kind to help us.这姑娘非常乐于帮助我们。

[即境活用2]　Jim is a kind boy. He is ______willing to help his classmates.

A．so B．such  C．much D．too

解析：too＋glad/pleased/willing...to...表示肯定意义。如用A项应改为 so...as to才对。

答案：D
