      1.英語(yǔ)科學(xué)小知識(shí)

      1. bat an eye (show surprise, fear, or interest) 眨一下眼睛(表示驚訝、恐懼等)該成語(yǔ)通常用于否定句中,表示不露聲色。

      例:Tom told his story without batting an eye, although not a world of it was true.雖然沒(méi)有一句話是真的,湯姆編造故事卻面不改色。2. be all fingers and thumbs做事笨手笨腳例:He could not undo the string of the parcel ---- she was all fingers and thumbs.他怎么也解不開(kāi)包袱上的繩子 ---- 真是笨手笨腳。

      3. be born with a silver spoon in one's mouth (born with inherited privilege or wealth) 門第高貴;出生富豪[注] 銀具是富裕人家身份的象征之一,生在富貴人家的孩子多用銀匙 (silver spoon) 喂食。 例:When does she know about hardship ---- she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.她根本就不知道什么叫艱難 ---- 他出生在富貴人家。

      4. be in sth. up to one's neck (be very much and very seriously involved in) 深陷于。

      中例:She said she knew nothing about the robbery, but I'm sure she's in it up to her neck.她說(shuō)她對(duì)這起搶劫案一無(wú)所知,不過(guò)我敢肯定她深深卷入其中。5. bite the hand that feeds one (be very ungrateful) 忘恩負(fù)義;以怨報(bào)德例:She felt that her protégé had bitten the hand that fed him by making unkind remarks about her in public.她覺(jué)得她的被保護(hù)人在公開(kāi)場(chǎng)合講有損她的話是忘恩負(fù)義。

      到了18世紀(jì),有人用動(dòng)詞 snap 替換該成語(yǔ)中的 bite 一詞。例:She bites off his nose on the faintest provocation.不管有事無(wú)事,她動(dòng)不動(dòng)就聲色俱厲地訓(xùn)斥他。

      7. break the back of sth.

      2.英語(yǔ)科普小知識(shí),急

      要想學(xué)好英語(yǔ)不止才有這幾個(gè)方面,還要掌握一些重要的知識(shí)。

      例如:英語(yǔ)中的“八大時(shí)態(tài)”?!鞍舜髸r(shí)態(tài)”分別有:一般將來(lái)時(shí),一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),一般過(guò)去時(shí),現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí),現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí),過(guò)去完成時(shí)和過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。

      當(dāng)然英語(yǔ)的“八大時(shí)態(tài)”也很重要,它也是學(xué)好英語(yǔ)的最基本。以下是“八大時(shí)態(tài)”的簡(jiǎn)介。

      一、一般時(shí)態(tài) 1、一般現(xiàn)在時(shí) (1)一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示沒(méi)有時(shí)限的持久存在的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)或現(xiàn)階段反復(fù)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài),常和副詞 usually,often,always sometimes, regularly,near,occasionally,every year, every week 等連用。 (2)在由after,until,before,once,when,even if,in case,as long as,as soon as,the moment 以及 if,unless 等引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句或條件狀語(yǔ)從句中,通常用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替將來(lái)時(shí)。

      (3)某些表示起始的動(dòng)詞,可用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示按規(guī)定、計(jì)劃或安排要發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,這類動(dòng)詞有:be,go,come,start,depart,arrive,begin,leave 等。(4)在由why,what,where,whoever,who,that,as 等引導(dǎo)的從句中,也常用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替將來(lái)時(shí)2.一般過(guò)去時(shí) (1)表示過(guò)去某一特定時(shí)間所發(fā)生的、可完成的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài),常與表示確切過(guò)去時(shí)間的詞、短語(yǔ)或從句連用。

      (2)表示過(guò)去習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作。(注意與be used to doing短語(yǔ)的區(qū)別) 3.一般將來(lái)時(shí) 1)表示將來(lái)打算進(jìn)行或期待發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)。

      2)幾種替代形式: 1)be going to +v在口語(yǔ)中廣泛使用,表示準(zhǔn)備做或?qū)l(fā)生的事情2)be to +v表示計(jì)劃安排要做的事,具有“必要”的強(qiáng)制性意義。3)be about to +v表示即將發(fā)生的事情。

      4)be due to +v表示預(yù)先確定了的事, 必定發(fā)生的事。5)be on the point/verge of +v – ing 強(qiáng)調(diào)即將發(fā)生的某種事態(tài)。

      . 二、進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài) 1.現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí) (1)表示現(xiàn)在正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,常與now,right now,at the mother,for the time being,for the present等連用。(2)表示現(xiàn)階段經(jīng)常發(fā)生的動(dòng)作, 常與always,continually,forever,constantly等連用。

      (3)表示根據(jù)計(jì)劃或安排在最近要進(jìn)行的事情。具有這種語(yǔ)法功能的動(dòng)詞僅限于過(guò)渡性動(dòng)詞。

      即表示從一個(gè)狀態(tài)或位置轉(zhuǎn)移到另一個(gè)狀態(tài)或位置上去的動(dòng)詞。常用的有:go,come,leave,start,arrive,return等。

      (4)有些動(dòng)詞不能用進(jìn)行時(shí),這是一類表示“感覺(jué),感情,存在,從屬”等的動(dòng)詞。如:see,hear,smell,taste,feel, notice,look,appear,(表示感覺(jué)的詞);hate,love,fear,like,want,wish,prefer,refuse, forgive(表示感情的動(dòng)詞);be,exist,remain,stay,obtain(表示存在狀態(tài)的動(dòng)詞);have,possess, own,contain,belong,consist of,form(表示占有與從屬的動(dòng)詞);understand,know,believe,think,doubt,forget,remember (表示思考理解的動(dòng)詞)。

      常用來(lái)表示禮貌的詢問(wèn)、請(qǐng)求等4. 完成進(jìn)行時(shí) (現(xiàn)在、過(guò)去、將來(lái))完成進(jìn)行時(shí)是(現(xiàn)在、過(guò)去、將來(lái))完成時(shí)的強(qiáng)調(diào)形式,將放在完成時(shí)態(tài)部分講述。 三、完成時(shí)態(tài) 完成時(shí)態(tài)通常表示已完成或從事的動(dòng)作。

      它可分為: 1. 現(xiàn)在完成時(shí) (1)現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)用來(lái)表示對(duì)目前狀況仍有影響的,剛剛完成的動(dòng)作(常與yet,already,just連用),或者過(guò)去某一時(shí)刻發(fā)生的,持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的情況(常與for,since連用)。(2)常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)有:since, for, during, over等引導(dǎo)出的短語(yǔ);副詞already, yet, just, ever, now, before, often, lately, recently等;狀語(yǔ)詞組this week (morning, month, year), so far, up to now, many times, up to the present等 (3)完成時(shí)態(tài)可用在下列結(jié)構(gòu)中:This (That, It) is (was) the first (second…) time +定語(yǔ)從句;This (That, It) is (was) the only (last) + n +定語(yǔ)從句;This (That, It) is (was) +形容詞最高級(jí)+ n +定語(yǔ)從句。

      如果主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí);如果主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是一般過(guò)去時(shí),從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。2. 過(guò)去完成時(shí) (1)表示過(guò)去某時(shí)間前已經(jīng)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或情況,這個(gè)過(guò)去的時(shí)間可以用by,before等介詞短語(yǔ)或一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句來(lái)表示;或者表示一個(gè)動(dòng)作在另一個(gè)過(guò)去動(dòng)作之前已經(jīng)完成。

      3. 將來(lái)完成時(shí) 將來(lái)完成時(shí)表示在將來(lái)某一時(shí)刻將完成或在另一個(gè)未來(lái)的動(dòng)作發(fā)生之前已經(jīng)完成的動(dòng)作;也可以用來(lái)表示一種猜測(cè)。常與將來(lái)完成時(shí)連用的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)有: by (the time / the end of 。

      3.科普英語(yǔ)的內(nèi)容

      暗銀河系的發(fā)現(xiàn)及其科學(xué)意義 In addition to conventional galaxies, the universe contains very dim galaxies that until recently went unnoticed by astronomers. Possibly as numerous as conventional galaxies, these galaxies have the same general shape and even the same approximate number of stars as a common type of conventional galaxy, the spiral, but tend to be much larger. Because these galaxies 'mass is spread out over larger areas, they have far fewer stars per unit volume than do conventional galaxies. Apparently these low-surface-brightness galaxies, as they are called, take much longer than conventional galaxies to condense their primordial gas and convert it to stars—that is, they evolve much more slowly. These galaxies may constitute an answer to the long-standing puzzle of the missingbaryonic mass in the universe. Baryons—subatomic particles亞原子粒子 that are generally protons or neutrons—are the source of stellar, and therefore galactic, luminosity, and so their numbers can be estimated based on how luminous galaxies are. However, the amount of helium in the universe, as measured by spectroscopy光譜學(xué), suggests that there are far more baryons in the universe than estimates based on galactic luminosity indicate. Astronomers have long speculated that the missing baryonic mass might eventuallybe discovered in intergalactic space星系際的空間 or as some large population of galaxies that are difficult to detect. -------------------------------另類海豹哺乳方式與眾不同 Until recently, zoologists believed that all species of phocids (true seals), a pinnipped family, use a different maternal strategy than do otariids (fur seals andsea lions), another pinniped family. Mother otariids use a foraging strategy. They acquire moderate energy stores in the form of blubber before arriving at breeding sites and then fast for 5 to 11 days after birth. Throughout the rest of the lactation (milk production) period, which lasts from 4 months to 3 years depending on the species, mother otariids alternately forage at sea, where they replenish their fat stores, and nurse their young at breeding sites. Zoologists had assumed that females of all phocids species, by contrast,use a fasting strategy in which mother phocids, having accumulated large energy stores before they arrive at breeding sites, fast throughout the entire lactation period, which lasts from 4 to 50 days depending on the species. However, recent studies onharbor seals, a phocids species, found that lactating females commenced foragingapproximately 6 days after giving birth and on average made 7 foraging trips during the remainder of their 24-day lactation period. The maternal strategy evolved by harbor seals may have to do with their small size and the large proportion of their fat stores depleted in lactation. Harbor seals are small compared with other phocids species such as grey seals, all of which are known to fast for the entire lactation period. Studies show that mother seals of these species use respectively 84 percent, 58 percent, and 33 percent of their fat stores during lactation. By comparison, harbor seals use 80 percent of their fat stores in just the first 19 days of lactation, even though they occasionally feed during this period. Since such a large proportion of their fat stores is exhausted despite feeding, mother harbor seals clearly cannot support all of lactation using only energy stored before giving birth. Though smallerthan many other phocids, harbor seals are similar in size to most otariids. In addition,there is already some evidence suggesting that the ringed seal, a phocids species thatis similar in size to the harbor seal, may also use a maternal foraging strategy.------------------------------pheromones是什么東東,是不是該劃為odorantThere is no consensus among researchers regarding what qualifies a substance as a pheromone. While most agree on a basic definition of pheromones as chemicals released by one individual of a species which, when detected by another individual of the same species, elicit a specific behavioral or physiological response, some researchers also specify that the response to pheromones must be unconscious. In addition, the distinctionbetween pheromones and odorants—chemicals that are consciously detected as odors---can be blurry, and some researchers classify pheromones as atype of odorant. Evidence that pheromone responses may not involve conscious odor perception comes from the finding that in many species, pheromones are processed by the vomeronasal (or accessory olfactory) system, which uses a special structure in the nose, the vomeronasal organ (VNO),。

      4.英語(yǔ)基本知識(shí)有哪些

      單詞 和 語(yǔ)法 一、英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)句基本結(jié)構(gòu)分析: 主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu): 主語(yǔ):可以作主語(yǔ)的成分有名詞(如boy),主格代詞(如you),動(dòng)詞不定式,動(dòng)名詞等。

      主語(yǔ)一般在句首。注意名詞單數(shù)形式常和冠詞不分家! 謂語(yǔ):謂語(yǔ)由動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成,是英語(yǔ)時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)變化的主角,一般在主語(yǔ)之后。

      不及物動(dòng)詞(vi.)沒(méi)有賓語(yǔ),形成主謂結(jié)構(gòu),如:We come. 賓語(yǔ):賓語(yǔ)位于及物動(dòng)詞之后,一般同主語(yǔ)構(gòu)成一樣,不同的是構(gòu)成賓語(yǔ)的代詞必須是‘代詞賓格’,如:me,him,them等 例:The boy needs a pen.主語(yǔ)the boy,謂語(yǔ)needs(need的第三人稱單數(shù)形式),賓語(yǔ)a pen. 主系表結(jié)構(gòu): 主語(yǔ):同‘主謂賓’結(jié)構(gòu)。 聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞(Link verb):be動(dòng)詞(am,is,are,was,were,have been);其他聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞如:become成為,turn變成,go變。

      其特點(diǎn)是聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞與其后的表語(yǔ)沒(méi)有動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,表語(yǔ)多為形容詞或副詞,既,不可能是賓語(yǔ)。 表語(yǔ):說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)的狀態(tài)、性質(zhì)、等。

      可為形容詞、副詞、名詞、代詞、不定式、分詞。當(dāng)聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞不是be,而其后是名詞和代詞時(shí),多表達(dá)‘轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)椤?,注意與動(dòng)賓關(guān)系的區(qū)別。

      感官動(dòng)詞多可用作聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞:look well/面色好,sound nice/聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò),feel good/感覺(jué)好,smell bad/難聞 例:Tom is a boy.(Tom是個(gè)男孩)/主語(yǔ)為Tom,系詞為be動(dòng)詞的第三人稱單數(shù)is,表語(yǔ)為a boy There be 結(jié)構(gòu): There be 表示‘存在有’。這里的there沒(méi)有實(shí)際意義,不可與副詞‘there那里’混淆。

      此結(jié)構(gòu)后跟名詞,表示‘(存在)有某事物’ 試比較:There is a boy there.(那兒有一個(gè)男孩。)/前一個(gè)there無(wú)實(shí)意,后一個(gè)there為副詞‘那里’。

      二、定語(yǔ):定語(yǔ)是對(duì)名詞或代詞起修飾、限定作用的詞、短語(yǔ)或句子,漢語(yǔ)中常用‘……的’表示。 定語(yǔ)通常位于被修飾的成分前。

      若修飾some,any,every,no構(gòu)成的復(fù)合不定代詞時(shí),(如:something、nothing);或不定式、分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)、從句作定語(yǔ)時(shí),則定語(yǔ)通常置后。副詞用作定語(yǔ)時(shí)須放在名詞之后。

      形容詞作定語(yǔ): The little boy needs a blue pen.(little修飾名詞boy;blue修飾名詞pen.)/小男孩需要一支蘭色的鋼筆。 Tom is a handsome boy./Tom是個(gè)英俊的男孩。

      There is a good boy./有個(gè)乖男孩。 數(shù)詞作定語(yǔ)相當(dāng)于形容詞: Two boys need two pens./兩個(gè)男孩需要兩支鋼筆。

      The two boys are students./這兩個(gè)男孩是學(xué)生。 There are two boys in the room./房間里有兩個(gè)男孩。

      代詞或名詞所有格作定語(yǔ): His boy needs Tom's pen./他的男孩需要Tom的鋼筆。 His name is Tom./他的名字是湯姆。

      There are two boys of Toms there./那兒有Tom家的兩個(gè)男孩。 介詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ): The boy in the classroom needs a pen of yours./教室里的男孩需要你的一支鋼筆。

      The boy in blue is Tom./穿蘭色衣服的孩子是湯姆。 There are two boys of 9,and three of 10./有兩個(gè)9歲的,三個(gè)10歲的男孩。

      名詞作定語(yǔ): The boy needs a ball pen./男孩需要一支圓珠筆。 It is a ball pen./這是一支圓珠筆。

      There is only one ball pen in the pencil box./這鉛筆盒里只有一支圓珠筆。 副詞作定語(yǔ): The boy there needs a pen./那兒的男孩需要一支鋼筆。

      The best boy here is Tom./這里最棒的男孩是Tom。 不定式作定語(yǔ): The boy to write this letter needs a pen./寫(xiě)這封信的男孩需要一支鋼筆。

      The boy to write this letter is Tom./將要寫(xiě)這封信的男孩是湯姆。 There is nothing to do today./今天無(wú)事要做。

      分詞(短語(yǔ))作定語(yǔ): The smiling boy needs a pen bought by his mother./那個(gè)微笑的男孩需要一支他媽媽買的鋼筆。 The pen bought by her is made in China./她買的筆是中國(guó)產(chǎn)的。

      There are five boys left./有五個(gè)留下的男孩。 定語(yǔ)從句: The boy who is reading needs the pen which you bought yesterday./那個(gè)在閱讀的男孩需要你昨天買的鋼筆。

      The boy you will know is Tom./你將認(rèn)識(shí)的男孩叫湯姆。 There are five boys who will play the game./參加游戲的男孩有五個(gè)。

      采納哦。

      英語(yǔ)的起源

      英語(yǔ)的起源要追溯到公元5世紀(jì)的古英語(yǔ),它是其最早的雛形。一向到15世紀(jì)才有了標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)。我們?nèi)匀辉谑褂玫摹俺擎?zhèn)”(town),是延續(xù)至今的最古老的古英語(yǔ)單詞。

      每?jī)蓚€(gè)小時(shí)就會(huì)有一個(gè)新詞被收入字典之中。其中包括“nerdjacking”(用很詳細(xì)的解釋來(lái)引導(dǎo)談話)、“undorse”(扭轉(zhuǎn)政策局面)和“Mx”(代替先生(Mr。)或女士(Ms。)的一種中性稱謂)。

      英語(yǔ)小知識(shí)(4):

      OK的來(lái)歷

      Okay可能是除了Yes,No以外在世界上流傳最廣的英語(yǔ)單詞了。但是,它從何而來(lái)呢?歷來(lái),語(yǔ)言學(xué)家們各執(zhí)一詞。

      有人說(shuō),okay是印第安人發(fā)明的。有這樣一個(gè)印第安部落叫Chocktaw,居住在富饒的密西西比山谷中,以種植和捕魚(yú)為生。

      每當(dāng)有問(wèn)題發(fā)生,Chocktaw的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人們就和部落首領(lǐng)圍坐一圈,共同商議,如果有人同意其他人的意見(jiàn),就點(diǎn)頭示意,然后說(shuō)“Okeh”,意思為“就是這樣”。

      歐洲人初到美洲時(shí),聽(tīng)到了超多的印第安語(yǔ),并將之發(fā)展為英語(yǔ)詞匯。此刻美國(guó)的許多城市、河流、山脈,其名稱都源于印第安語(yǔ)。

      另外還有一種頗具可信度的說(shuō)法:Okay這個(gè)詞是在19世紀(jì)由一個(gè)政治團(tuán)體發(fā)明的。

      有一個(gè)人叫Martin Van Buren,準(zhǔn)備參加總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選,他的擁護(hù)者成立了一個(gè)俱樂(lè)部為他做宣傳,俱樂(lè)部的名稱就叫“Okay Club”,據(jù)說(shuō)O和K兩個(gè)字母取自于Van Buren的故鄉(xiāng),紐約州的Old Kinderhook,那是他出生的地方。

      對(duì)一個(gè)如此popular的詞匯,自然每個(gè)人都可能有自我的故事,但是,有一點(diǎn),相信全世界都會(huì)同意:okay是一個(gè)純粹的美語(yǔ)詞匯,它是詞匯跨越不一樣語(yǔ)言的優(yōu)秀典范。

      只是還有需要小小提醒一下的地方:okay通常用于口語(yǔ),在書(shū)面語(yǔ)中,我們能夠用agree,assent,approve,conform等等詞匯來(lái)代替,使之更為正式化。
