1.“Yes,”hereplied,“you’llgetthereinfiveminutes.”“对，”他回答道：“你五分钟就能到那里。”

replyv./n.回答；答复

用作及物动词时，通常用于引出直接引语，也可接宾语从句；用作不及物动词时，如后面需要接宾语，要加介词to。e.g.Maryrepliedthatshelovedcollectingstamps.Davidrepliedtohismother’sletterthismorning.Languagepointsanswer&reply单词词性不同点answern.answer是常用词，此外它还可以指“答案；解决办法”，而reply却没有此意。v.answer是及物动词。在answerthetelephone，answerthedoor等表达中，不可以使用reply。replyn.reply的用法比answer较正式，是指经过考虑后的答复。v.reply除了后面可以跟直接引语或宾语从句以外，一般只用作不及物动词，常和介词to连用。辨析【语境应用】请用answer或reply的适当形式填空。1)He________tomepolitelyinthelastletter.2)Iknockedatthedoor,buttherewasno________.3)Canyou________thesequestions?4)I

can’tfindthe________tothisquestion.repliedansweransweranswer2.…,butitwassilentandtherewasnosignofit……，但是周遭一片寂静，没有任何迹象。silent

adj.寂静的e.g.Theoldhousewasquitesilent.

这所旧房子非常寂静。WillyoupleasekeepsilentaboutwhatIdid?

请你别把我做的事说出去好吗?

silencen.沉默；寂静e.g.Theysatthereinsilence.

他们沉默地坐在那儿。quiet,calm,silent,still这些形容词均含“平静的，无声无息”之意。quiet普通用词，指没有喧闹、活动或骚乱的寂静状态。calm普通用词，既可指天气、海洋等的平静状态，又可指人的镇定沉着、不慌乱，不受外界影响和情绪支配。silent普通用词，指缄默不语或无声无息。still指平静而又安定的状态。辨析【语境应用】用quiet，calm，silent或still填空：1）Thecrowdfell_______whenthePresidentappeared.2)Westood_______andwatchedasthedeercamecloser.3)Whenfacingdanger,oneshouldkeep_______.4)We'llhavetobe_______soasnottowakethebaby.5)Inclass,oneshouldn'tkeep______abouttheteacher’squestions.6)Whentakenphotos,oneshouldkeep_____.7)Thedoctordidwhathecouldtomakethegirl______.8)I'llbeas_______asamouse.Iwillnotdisturbhim.silentstillcalmquietsilentstillcalmquiet3.Farbelowme,thegroundfellawayanddowntoariver.地面(仿佛在随光线)向下延伸，(逐渐)退落到下面的一条河里。below

prep.低于；在...下面e.g.Thetemperatureisbelowfreezing.

温度低于冰点。Pleasedonotwritebelowthisline.

请不要写到这条线下面。below指位置低于某物或在某物的下方，但不一定在正下方，其反义词为above。under指在某物的正下方，也可指覆盖于某物之下，其反义词为overe.g.Thereisasmallrestaurantbelowthetopofthehill.

在山顶的下方有一个小餐厅。Myfootballisundermybed.。

我的足球在我的床底下。below&under辨析4.IlookeddowntotheColoradoRiver,asilverstreamnearlyonemilebelowme.

我俯视着距我一英里之遥的银色的科罗拉多河。

nearlyadv.几乎；差不多

notnearly=notatall远非；绝不是

e.g.Iwasnearlykilledintheaccidentlastweek.我差点在上周那场事故中没命了。He’snotnearlyasgood-lookingashisbrother.

他的相貌远没有他的兄弟那么迷人。词条相同点不同点almostalmost和nearly

都可以表示“差不多；几乎”，一般情况下，两个词可以互换使用。almost后面可以接no,none,nothing和never

等表示否定意义的词，而nearly没有这种用法。almost所表示的“差不多”程度比nearly要更大一些。nearlynearly前面可以用not来修饰，构成notnearly，意为“远不及；相差很远”，而almost不能这么用。almost&nearly辨析5.Iremainedbythecanyonforabouthalfanhour…

我在峡谷边伫立半小时有余……

remain

vi.(继续)待在某处e.g.Howlongareyougoingtoremainhere?

你准备在这呆多久？remain

vi.留下；剩余e.g.Afterthewind,onlysomeleavesremained.

一阵风起，只有一些树叶没有落下。remain

linkingv.仍然，(继续)保持，后接名词或形容词。e.g.Theyremainfriends.他们依然是朋友。Completethepassagewiththewordsinthebox.
