pass VS past
pass词性是动词,意思是“穿过(沿特定方向),经过”
e.g. Jane passed through the doorway into the hospital. (“pass”充当谓语动词)
past词性是介词,意思是“经过”
e.g. I dashed past him and out of the room.(“past”充当状语)
例题1:
Amelia Earhart passed into history, and from there into myth. The legend of her achievements and of her mysterious disappearance still captivates us.
A. NO CHANGE
B. past into
C. passed over
D. past over
解析:
句中主语是“Amelia”, 划线部分必须是能够充当谓语的动词,所以只能是动词“pass”,介词“past” 不能充当谓语,所以排除B,D。C “pass over” 意思是 “忽略”,意思不符合句意,所以选A
例题2:
It has no running water, electricity, or phone, and Glacier National Park is just across the river that flows past her cabin door.
A. NO CHANGE
B. passed her cabin
C. passed her cabin’s
D. past her cabin’
解析:
句中that引导的定语从句中that作主语,flow作谓语,所以划线部分应该作状语,应该选“past”, 所以选D
例题3:
Crowds of people mill about, moseying they’re way past costumed characters and colorful booths.
A. NO CHANGE
B. they’re way passed
C. their way passed
D. their way past
解析:
moseying到句尾是状语部分,所以不能接一句话,意思是“经过那些角色”。选D
enlighten VS illuminate
enlighten是动词,意思是“启迪”
illuminate是动词,意思是“照亮”
例题:
Beams of light enlightened the exterior of the White House, and every window glowed as the work of governing continued into the night.
A. NO CHANGE
B. illuminated
C. irradiated
D. inflamed
解析:
句子意思是“光束着凉了白宫的外部”,所以选 “illuminate”
