第四部分 Unit 2 核心词汇精讲(★★★)
1. admire v.钦佩;赞赏 → admirable adj.令人钦佩的
【教材原句】Who is the person you admire the most? (p.21)
【教材原句】What makes people admirable? (p.23 Section B 引题)
核心用法
admire sb (for sth) 因某事钦佩某人
admirable = 令人钦佩的(形容人/品质/行为)
→ admiration (n. 钦佩) — 高中词汇,学霸可拓展。
补充例句:I admire my mother for her courage and kindness.
中考链接:admire 是课标核心词,河北中考阅读和写作中要求能正确使用。写作中可替换 like/love 表达"敬佩"。
2. inspiring adj.鼓舞人心的 → inspiration n.灵感;鼓舞人心的人/事
【教材原句】Who inspires us? (p.18 单元标题) / The Inspiring Seed Scientist (p.23)
【教材原句】My biggest inspiration is not a famous person. It's my father. (p.21)
核心用法
inspiring(修饰事物/人):an inspiring story / an inspiring person
inspired(修饰人的感受):I feel inspired by his story.
inspiration:可数(鼓舞人心的人/事)→ an inspiration;不可数(灵感)→ a moment of inspiration
中考链接:inspiring vs inspired 的区别是高中重点,初中只需认识 inspiring 即可。写作中 an inspiring person 是 Unit 2 核心表达。
3. courage n.勇气 → encourage v.鼓励
【教材原句】She is full of courage and wisdom. (p.21)
【教材原句】It's really very nice of him to support and encourage... (p.21)
词形转换链(中考常考)
courage (n. 勇气) → encourage (v. 鼓励) → encouragement (n. 鼓励) → encourage sb to do sth
→ 反义词:discourage (v. 使气馁)
→ 形容词:courageous (adj. 勇敢的) = brave
常用搭配:have the courage to do sth / full of courage / encourage sb to do sth
中考链接:encourage sb to do sth 是河北中考单项选择/短文填空的高频考点。词形转换题可能出现 courage→encourage。
4. wisdom n.智慧 → wise adj.明智的
【教材原句】She is full of courage and wisdom. (p.21)
补充例句:It was wise of Confucius to say that we should treat our elders with respect. (adapted from p.22)
词形转换:wise (adj.) → wisdom (n.) | 类似:free→freedom, king→kingdom
中考链接:wise→wisdom 词形转换在短文填空中有可能出现。It is wise of sb to do sth 是 Unit 2 语法重点。
5. brave adj.勇敢的 v.勇敢面对
【教材原句】It was very difficult for him to brave the cold weather and great heights. (p.23)
【教材原句】Amelia Earhart was always a brave child, full of courage. (p.25)
一词双词性
形容词:a brave soldier / a brave decision
动词:brave the storm / brave the cold("勇敢面对",初中生只需认识此动词用法,不要求会用)
→ 名词:bravery (n. 勇敢)
中考链接:brave 作形容词是基础词,动词用法在教材中出现但只要认识即可。写作中可替换 bold。
6. creative adj.有创造力的 → create v.创造 → creativity n.创造力
【教材原句】It was very creative of him to design it. (p.21)
词形转换链:create (v.) → creative (adj.) → creativity (n.) → creation (n.) → creator (n.)
中考链接:create/creative 在河北中考阅读中高频出现。词形转换题可能考查 create→creative。
7. curiosity n.好奇心 → curious adj.好奇的
【教材原句】He showed a deep love and curiosity for the things he studied. (p.23)
词形转换:curious (adj.) → curiosity (n.) | 类似:serious→seriousness? NO, 不规则变化,必须单独记。
常用搭配:out of curiosity(出于好奇)/ be curious about sth(对……好奇)
中考链接:curious→curiosity 是不规则名词变化,河北中考词形转换题可能出现。be curious about 是阅读高频短语。
8. pioneer n.先驱;先锋
【教材原句】(Zhang Qian was)the pioneer of the famous Silk Road. (p.22 Grammar Focus)
补充例句:Yuan Longping was a pioneer in farming research. / She was a pioneer of modern nursing.
常用搭配:a pioneer of/in... / pioneer work / a pioneer in the field of...
中考链接:pioneer 是课标词汇,阅读中识别即可,写作中可用于人物介绍(Unit 2 写作任务)。
9. spread v.传播;散布;蔓延 (spread-spread-spread)
【教材原句】the need for cleaner hospitals to stop the spread of diseases (p.20 Nightingale)
【教材原句】You'd better wear a mask... The disease is spreading... (p.25 Vocabulary exercise)
核心用法
及物:spread news / spread kindness / spread the message
不及物:The disease spreads quickly. / The news spread fast.
→ 过去式和过去分词都是 spread(不变化!中考陷阱考点)
中考链接:spread 的不规则变化(不变形)是河北中考短文填空的可能考点。spread-spread-spread 必须记牢。
第五部分 Unit 2 重点词汇(★★)
10. drop out (of) 辍学;退出;不再参加
【教材原句】He dropped out of school at an early age, but he continued to study... (p.19)
搭配:drop out of school / drop out of a race
教学提示:drop out of + n. 中考阅读中偶有出现,认识即可。
11. look up to 仰慕;钦佩
【教材原句】Who do you look up to? (p.21)
搭配:look up to sb = admire sb
教学提示:注意区别:look up(查阅)vs look up to(仰慕)——多一个to意思完全不同。
12. well-respected adj. 备受尊敬的
【教材原句】The well-respected biologist had spent his whole life... (p.23)
搭配:a well-respected teacher / well-respected in the community
教学提示:复合形容词:well+过去分词。同类:well-known, well-educated, well-prepared
13. effort n. 努力
【教材原句】...through his efforts and hard work. (p.22) / her efforts to work hard (p.25)
搭配:make an effort / through one's efforts / put effort into sth
教学提示:可数/不可数均可。make an effort to do sth 写作常用。
14. discovery n. 发现 → discover v.
【教材原句】...made many important discoveries in physics and chemistry. (p.19)
搭配:make a discovery / scientific discoveries
教学提示:discover (v.发现) → discovery (n.) → discoverer (n.发现者)。注意:discover 指"发现已存在的事物",invent 指"发明新事物"。
15. achievement n. 成就 → achieve v.
【教材原句】...match the people with their achievements. (p.20)
搭配:make an achievement / a sense of achievement / achieve one's dream
教学提示:achieve one's dream 是写作高频表达。achievement 可数。
16. profession n. 职业 → professional adj.
【教材原句】...match the people with their professions. (p.19)
搭配:the teaching profession / professional skills
教学提示:区别:job(具体工作)/ career(职业生涯)/ profession(需专业训练的职业如医生律师)
17. volunteer n. 志愿者 v. 自愿做
【教材原句】...volunteered as a nurse to help the wounded soldiers. (p.20)
搭配:volunteer to do sth / work as a volunteer
