except
“除了……之外”,表示“(从整体中)减去”。(前后事物是同类的)

除了我之外,没有人迟到。
except for
“除了”,说明整个基本情况之后,对细节加以纠正。(前后事物是不同类的)

他除了是位歌手,还是位优秀的舞蹈家。
but
着重在整体,一般放在nothing, nobody等否定词之后。

典例 —All the workers went home yesterday______Mr. White. Why? —Because he was on duty.
A.except B.besides C.except for D.beside
【点拨】根据答语可知Mr. White在值班,没有回家,所以要表示“除了……之外”,而不包括除了的部分,因此用except。

考向 辨析一 【重难点】 perhaps,probably,maybe
maybe
maybe,也许,可能,和 perhaps 多数情况下可以互换,意思较接近。通常用在句子前面。Maybe you are right.也许你是对的。
perhaps
也许,可能,大概,perhaps 还有建议的意思。Perhaps I'll go there alone.我也许要一个人去那里。
probably
大概,很可能,表示的可能性远远大于maybe 和perhaps。He probably told his father the matter. He usually tells his father everything.他很可能已经告诉他爸爸这件事了。他通常把一切都告诉他的爸爸。
辨析二【重点】may,maybe与may be的区别与用法
may
情态动词,“可以,可能”,may +动词原形
I think it may rain this afternoon. 我想今天下午可能下雨。
may be
may是情态动词,be是动词原形, 两者构成完整的谓语形式,与主语形成系表结构,意为“也许是、可能是”。
He may be a teacher.
他可能是个老师。
maybe
副词,意思是“也许、可能”,在句中作状语,相当于perhaps,常位于句首。
Maybe she'll come this afternoon. 她可能今天下午来。
另maybe和may be有时可相互转换。
eg:You may be right. = Maybe you are right. 你或许是对的。
He may be in the office. = Maybe he is in the office. 他或许在办公室。
