二、重點解析
單詞
1. population
(1) population 是集體名詞,它作主語時,若指一個地區或國家的整體人口時謂語動詞通常用單數;若強調整體人口中的成員時,謂語動詞通常用複數。 eg:
The population of Nanjing is smaller than that of Shanghai. 南京的人口比上海少。
About two fifths of the population here are farmers. 這兒大約2/5的人口是農民。
(2) 在詢問人口時,注意population和people的區別,前者用what來提問,後者用how many 來提問。 eg:
What’s the population of Hebei Province? 河北省的人口是多少?
How many people are there in Hebei Province? 河北省有多少人?
(3) 表達人口多少時要用large和small來修飾,不能用many, more和few修飾。 eg:
China has a larger population than Japan. 中國的'人口比日本多。
2. neither
(1) neither常用作代詞,意爲“兩者都不”。 eg:
Neither of us can understand. 我們倆誰也不能理解。
Neither was very interesting. 兩者都沒有多大意思。
(2) 它還可用作形容詞,意爲“(兩者)都不”,常在句中作定語。 eg:
Neither answer is correct. 兩個答案都不對。
[注]neither作主語時,應看作是單數形式;neither所修飾的名詞也應用單數形式。
(3) neither 用在倒裝句中表示“前者所說的內容也適合於後者”,意爲“也不”。 eg:
He doesn’t like Beethoven and neither do I. 他不喜歡貝多芬的作品,我也不喜歡。
詞語辨析
neither, none, either, both & all
表示肯定意義
表示否定意義

both意爲“兩者都”;either意爲“兩者中的任何一個”;neither表示“兩者中任何一個也不”。none意爲“三個或三個以上一個也不”,all指“三個或三個以上都……”。
(1) 用作形容詞時,neither, either修飾單數名詞,both修飾複數名詞,all可以修飾複數名詞,也可以指不可數名詞。 eg:
Neither story is true. 兩個故事都不真實。
You may take either road. 你可以走兩條路中的任何一條。
Both pens are red. 兩支鋼筆都是紅色的。
All the water was poured. 所有的水都潑出去了。
(2) 用作代詞時,neither/either常被看作單數,而both應看作是複數;all根據不同的情況可以看作是單數或複數。 eg:
Neither is mine. 兩個都不是我的。
Both of us are teachers. 我們兩個都是老師。
All of us are here. 我們所有的人都在這兒。
(3) neither/none表示完全否定;而both/all和否定詞not連用時,表示的是不完全否定意義。
eg: Neither of you is right. 你們兩個都不對。
Both of you are not right. 你們兩個並非都對。
重點句型

It means that he won’t come again. 這意味着他再也不會回來了。
[注]mean的名詞形式爲meaning. eg:

動詞tell的用法:
(1) tell sb. about sb. /sth. 意爲“告訴某人有關某人/某事”。 eg:

4. So do I. 我也是。
“So+助動詞/情態動詞+主語”是倒裝句結構,用於後一句陳述內容與前一句陳述內容相同,且前後的主語是不同的人,意爲“某某也如此”。若前後陳述的情況爲否定式,用 Neither或Nor來替代So。 eg:
—I am a teacher. 我是一名老師。
—So is he. 他也是。
—She can’t dance. 她不會跳舞。
—Nor can I. 我也不會。
[注] 若前後兩陳述句的主語一致,且陳述內容相同,則用So+主語+助動詞/情態動詞,意爲“某某的確如此”。 eg:

—So he is. 的確如此。
