辨析 between与among
between

among
“在…中间”,一般用于三者或三者以上,其宾语通常是一个表示笼统数量或具有复数(或集合)意义的名词或代词

His house is hidden among the trees. 他的房子隐藏在树林之中。
②It's hard,isn't it? 那很难,是吗?
要点本句为反意疑问句。反意疑问句常用来向对方验证信息,形式上是一个省略问句,由“陈述部(视频讲解分+附加疑问部分”构成,遵循“前肯后否、前否后肯”的原则。
· He's a student, isn't he? 他是一名学生,不是吗?
· He didn't have lunch, did he? 他没有吃午饭,是吗?
【知识拓展】
这一类型的反意疑问句,不管问题的提法如何,若事实是肯定的,就要用 yes 回答,事实是否定的,就要用no 回答,这一点应特别注意。
——She isn't a doctor,is she?她不是医生,是吗?
——Yes,she is. /No, she isn't. 不,她是。/是的,她不是。
(黑龙江龙东中考) People in the past could hardly eat fresh vegetables in winter, _____ ?
A. could they B. couldn't they C. could people
解析:由題千和选项可知,这是一个反意疑问句。前面陈述部分中有hardly(几乎不)表否定,根据“前否后肯”的原則,附加问句应用肯定形式,排除 B项;再由陈述部分的主语为名词(词组)时,附加问句应用相应的代词来指代,故此处用they 来指代前面的people in the past,故选A。
③But you pay with "bills", don't you? 但你用“钞票”付款,是吗?。
要点pay此处用作不及物动词,意为“付款,付酬”。pay for 意为“支付⋯…的费用;为⋯付款”。pay也可用作及物动词,后接某人或金钱。
· Mum paid for my driving lessons. 妈妈支付了我驾驶课的学費。
· I paid him $5 to cut the grass 我付给他5 美元让他割草。
