高二英语重难点归纳总结[旧人教版]
Unit 1 Making a difference
一、重难点解析
1.It takes a very unusual mind to understand analysis of the obvious. 分析明显存在的事物需要非凡的头脑。
2.(There did not seem) much point in working on my PhD --- I did not expect to survive that long. 取得博士学位对我来说似乎没有什么意义了，我没有期望活那么久。
PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) 指"博士学位"。
1)There is no point in doing sth. 表示"做某事没有作用或没有意义"。例如:
There is no point in arguing further. 继续争辩下去没有意义了。
There's very little point in protesting. It won't help much. 抗议没有什么用，于事无补。
2)that在此处作副词，意为"那么"，可以修饰形容词。this也有类似的用法。例如:
I didn't expect he was that rude. 我没料到他会那么粗鲁。
Please cut my hair about this much. 请把我的头发剪掉这么长。
3.Yet two years had gone by and I was not that much worse. 但两年过去了，我的情况却没有那么恶化。
go by意思是"(时间)过去"。例如:
Time went by so quickly. We are already at the end of our summer holiday. 时间过得真快，转眼我们就要过完暑假了。
4.get / be engaged to sb. 意思是"与某人订婚"。如:
Tom got engaged to Mary, whom he had met on the train.
5.turn out to be 意为"结果是"；"最后的情况是"。例如:
The weatherman said it was going to rain this afternoon but it turned out to be very lovely. 天气预报说今天下午有雨，结果今天下午天气非常好。
The lecture turned out to be very dull. 讲座结果很沉闷。
6.Everyone has his or her special skills and interests, and only by discovering what we do best can we hope to reach our goals and truly make a difference. 每个人都有自己的专长和兴趣，只有发现自己的专长，我们才能期望达到自己的目标，真正有所作为。
后半句是个倒装句，正常语序应该是: We can hope to reach our goals and truly make a difference by discovering what we do best.
用倒装的目的是为了强调倒装部分。如:
Only in this way can you make progress in your English study. 只有这样你才能在英语学习上取得进步。
