3. We plan to arrive　　　 the village 　　　　October.

点拨：答案为1. in, on；2. at, at；3. at, in。arrive是不及物动词，意为“到达”。“arrive in/on/at+时间”意为“在某一时间到达”，in后常接年份、季节、月份等较大的时间范畴；on后常接具体的日期；at后常接某一个具体的时间点。“arrive in/at+地点”意为“到达某地”，in后常接较大的地点；at后常接较小的地点。

A. This is Tom; Who are you?

[例4]选择填空

- What 　　　　your father　 　　　?

- He wears a pair of glasses. He is very helpful.

A. do; like　　　　　　 B. are; like

[例6]句型转换

I have a cat. It has four white legs. (改为意思相近的句子)

I have a cat 　　　　four white legs.

点拨：答案为with。with意为“有……的、随身带着、与……一起、随着”。此时它的反义词是without。 如：

The teacher came into the classroom with some books under his arm.

老师胳膊下面夹着一些书走进了教室。

Some students often go to school without breakfast.

一些学生经常不吃早饭就去上学。

2. All the members of the team arrive 　　　　the park 　　　　six every morning.

[例5]

I lived 　　　　　my classmates　　　　 a room when I was a Grade 8 student.

A. with; at　　　　　　 B. in; in　　　

C. at; in　　　　　　　 D. with; in

点拨：live in…意为“住在……”，后接表示地点的词。live with…后面接名词或人称代词宾格，意为“与……一起居住”。答案为D。

[例6]

- It rains 　　　　here. You’d better take your umbrella.

- Thanks _____. I will.

A. a lot; a lot　　　　 B. lot of; lot of

C. a lot; lot of　　　 D. lot of; a lot

点拨：rain作动词时，意为“下雨”，作名词时意思是“雨水”；a lot意为“很、非常”。表示“下大雨”用rain a lot / rain hard / rain heavily; 表示“雨水多”用lots of rain / much rain / a lot of rain; 表示“一阵大雨”用a heavy rain。本题答案为A。

[例7]

My parents often work hard　　　 I sleep at night.

A. because　　　　　 B. before　　

C. after　　　　　　　 D. while

点拨：while引导某一段时间，不能引导某一“时间点”。在while引导的时间状语从句中，其谓语动词只能是延续性的，而且也只能与主句中的谓语动词同时发生或存在。答案为D。

Grammar ~ Checkout

[例1]根据首字母填空。

Come to see me b　　　 nine and ten o’clock.

点拨：答案为between。between一般指“在两者之间”，between…and…表示“在……和……之间”。我们以后会学到among，它表示“在(三者或三者以上的人或者物)之间”。如：

The teacher is sitting among the students. 老师坐在学生中间。

[例2]用in, on或at填空。

1. They will arrive　　　 Beijing by train 　　　　Sunday.

[例1]

- Which restaurant is your favourite?

- 　　　　　　　　　　(最大的那一家) is my favourite.

点拨：本题答案是The biggest one。one的一种重要用法是用来代替前面出现过的名词，以避免重复。如果代替的名词是复数，则用其复数形式ones。值得注意的是，one所代替的往往是前面提到的名词的同类事物中的一个，代替上文提到的同一事物时须用it。试比较：

Those coats look very beautiful. Will you buy one？

那些外套看起来很漂亮，你要买一件吗？

Your coat looks very beautiful. Where did you buy it?

你的外套看起来很漂亮，你在哪里买到它的？

[例2]

　　　　　　　　　　 　(泰国的首都) is Bangkok.

[例3]

You don’t have to　　　　　　　　　 　(爬梯子进入) the old house.

点拨：本题答案是climb a ladder to get into。climb a ladder to get into…意为“爬梯子进入……”，与get into…with a ladder意义相近。

[例4]

Everyone knows that the Chinese are very 　　　　　　　　　　(友好的).

点拨：答案为friendly。friendly是由名词friend + ly构成的形容词，常用于以下结构：be friendly to sb, 表示“对某人友好”。类似的短语还有be kind to sb (对某人和蔼/友好); be polite to sb (对某人有礼貌)。如：They are polite and friendly to all the visitors.
