1. It is hard to believe that he used to have difficulties in school. 很难相信他过去在学校有许多困难。(Page 30 2b)
It is hard to believe + that 从句 意为"很难相信……"。此句型中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式结构to believe...,其中that引导的从句作believe的宾语。
►It is hard to believe that she’s only nine. 很难相信她只有9岁。
2.advise sb. (not) to do sth.建议某人(不要)做某事 (Page 30 2b)
►The boss advised him to leave as soon as possible. 老板建议他尽快离开。
【拓展】advise doing sth. 建议做某事
►He advised leaving early. 他建议早动身。
【典例】(广东卷)We advise parents ________ their children at home alone in order to keep them away from danger.
A. not leave B. not to leave C. leave D. to leave
【答案】B
【解析】advise sb. (not) to do sth.是固定搭配,意为"建议某人(不)做某事",排除A、C两项。由"为了让他们远离危险"可推知,此处意为"我们建议父母不要将他们的孩子独自留在家中",故选B。
3. take pride in 为……感到自豪 (Page 30 2b)
in为介词,其后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式。相当于be proud of。

【拓展】be proud to do sth.意为"为做某事感到骄傲/自豪"。
►He is proud to be a student of Tsinghua University. 他为成为清华大学的一名学生而感到自豪。
【典例】(湖北孝感)Jenny’s uncle is a scientist. She is proud _______ him.
A. from B. at C. in D. of
【答案】D
【解析】由前句句意"珍妮的叔叔是一名科学家"可推知后句句意为"她为他感到骄傲"。be proud of为固定搭配,意为"为……骄傲",故选D。
