语法重点一
1. Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of
Britain’s most famous historical places but also one
of its greatest mysteries.巨石阵、岩石圈,不仅是英国
最著名的历史古迹之一也是它的一个最大的奇迹之一
not only… but also 用于连接两
个表示并列关系的成分,着重强调后者,
其意为“不但…… 而且”;其中的also
有时可以省略。
如:She not only plays well, but also writes music.
Not only men but also women were chosen.
He works not only on weekdays but on
Sundays as well.
注意:若连接两个成分作主语,其谓语通常与靠近的主语保持一致。
如:Not only you but also he has to leave.
若连接两个句子,not only位于句首后面的句子要用倒装
如:Not only did he speak more correctly, but he spoke more easily.
They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy.他们认为这些石头可以预防疾病,使人保持健康。
语法重点二
prevent作及物动词,可是直接带宾语,表示“阻止,阻挠”的意思;常构成:protect...from...表示“保护……不受……侵袭”;prevent sb. from doing something. 阻止某人做某事,在主动语态中from可以省略,被动语态中不行。

3. “And perhaps we might never know , but we do know they must have been hardworking --- and great planners!”保罗•斯科特说“也许我们可能永远不会知道,但我们知道他们一定是勤奋——伟大的计划!”
语法重点三
must have been doing: 表示肯定的猜测,肯定某人一直在做的事,并且猜测这种动作,或者行为一直持续到现在。
如:He must have been trying his best to study.
She is so tired .She must have been working all
the morning.
【句型剖析】
陈述句中“do+动词原形”这一结构用来对谓语动词进行强调, 意为“的确……”。当主语是第三人称单数时用“does+动词原形”, 在一般过去时中用“did+动词原形”。例如: He did go there yesterday. 昨天他的确去那儿了。
