六、单元考试重点及知识拓展：

（一）、辨析 join/take part in/attend

join指加入某个党派, 团体组织等, 成为其中一员, 意为“ 参军, 入党, 入团 ”。

e.g. join the Army/the Party/the League

join sb. in (doing) sth. 和某人一道做某事

e.g. Will you join us in the picnic? 你参加我们的野炊吗？

join in多指参加小规模的活动如“游戏, 比赛”, 口语中常用。

e.g. Join in the basketball game. 参加篮球赛。

take part in 指参加会议或群众性活动, 着重说明主语参加该项活动并在活动中发挥作用。

e.g. We’ll take part in the sports meeting/club.

take an active part in 积极参加……

attend 正式用语

vt. 指参加会议, 婚礼, 葬礼, 典礼; 去上课, 上学, 听报告等。

句子主语只是去听, 去看, 自己不一定起积极作用。

e.g. I attended a night school. 我上夜校。

（二）、辨析：too “也”，肯定句。句末。

also “也”，肯定句。句中，be后面,行为动词前。

either “也”，否定句。句末。

e.g. She is a singer, too. 她也是个歌手。

He can also sing the English song. 他也可以唱英文歌。

If you don't go to the park, he won't go there, either.

如果你不去公园，他也不去。

（三）情态动词表推测

情态动词must，can，could，may和might均可表示推测，它们可以对过去、现在或将来的情况作出语气强弱不同的推测。

1. 把握推测语气的特点，选择恰当的情态动词。

表示肯定的推测时，语气从弱到强依次为might → may → could → can → must；表示否定的推测时，can’t和couldn’t语气较强，意为“不可能”，may not和might not语气较弱，意为“可能不”。

情态动词表示推测时，must只用于肯定句中，表示很有把握的推测，意为“一定；准是”；can多用于否定句或疑问句中。如：

They have been working hard all day. They must be tired.

Sam can’t be at home now, for I saw him going shopping just now.

At that time we thought the story could not be true.

What can Neal possibly mean?

Why not ask Paul for help? He may know the answer.

They all said that Adam might come home before Christmas.

Don’t be so sure. He might not help us this time.

2. 确定被推测时间，选择正确的谓语结构。

对现在或将来的事情进行推测时，用“情态动词+动词原形”。如：

Mr. Reed looks pale. He may be ill.

If you don’t have a guide, you could lose your way.

对正在进行的事情进行推测时，用“情态动词+be+动词的-ing形式”。如：

There’s a lot of noise from the next door. They must be having a party.

Hurry up! Mom might be waiting for us at home.

对过去的事情进行推测时，用“情态动词+have+动词的过去分词”。如：

Laura looks very happy. She must have passed the exam.

—I can’t find my wallet anywhere.

—You might have lost it while shopping.
