2015届高考英语二轮复习知识点大全：15at last、 in the end 、finally的区别.docVIP

高中英语知识点大全（15）：at last/ in the end/ finally的区别 1、at last/ in the end/ finally 三者均有“最后、终于”的含义。 finally常用于动词之前，表示人们长期以来期待的某事最后实现了，也可指一系列事物或论点的顺序。例如： After putting it off three times,we finally managed to have a holiday in Greece.经过三次延期之后,我们终于在希腊度了一次假。 They talked about it for hours.Finally,they decided not to go.他们谈论了几个小时，最后决定不去。 at last 有时可与finally互换，但往往用于一番拖延或曲折之后，语气更强烈。例如： When at last they found him, he was almost dead.当人们最终找到他时，他已经奄奄一息了。 James has passed his exams at last.詹姆斯终于通过了考试。 in the end指经过许多变化、困难的捉摸不定的情况之后，某事才发生。例如： We made five different plans for our holiday, but in the end we had a summer camp again.我们制订了五种不同的度假方案，但最后我们还是选定了再来一次夏令营活动。 2、awake/wake awake用作及物或不及物动词，表示“叫醒，唤醒；醒来”；而wake表示相同意义时，必须与up连用，对比： The noise awoke me./The noise woke me up.嗓音把我闹醒。 She usually awakes at six in the morning./She usually wakes up at six in the morning.她通常早上6点醒。 注意：awake 不与up连用；wake up 的宾语是人称代词时必须置于两个词之间。误：wake up him正：wake him up ②awake 还可用作形容词，只用作表语或后置定语，不能用作前置定语。其反义词是asleep.如： Is he awake or asleep?他睡着了还是醒着？ Anyone awake heard the sound.任何醒着的人都听到了那个声音。 注意：wide/fully awake 完全醒着；sound/fast/deeply asleep熟睡 [应用]完成句子 他醒来时，他母亲在他的旁边。When he_______,his mother was beside him. 我彻夜未眠，一直在考虑这个问题。I have lain_______all night thinking of the problem. 他突然醒了，好象有人叫他的名字。He ______ _______suddenly,as if someone had called his name. 她睡着的时候谁也叫不醒他。No one can_______ _______ ________when she is asleep. Key:awoke ②awake ③woke up ④wake,her,up 3、attempt (1)n.尝试；企图。 He made an attempt to learn to ski.他尝试着学滑雪。 He failed in attempt at climbing up the mountain.他企图爬上这座山，却失败了。 (2)vt.尝试；企图。 She attempted to learn Japanese.她试图学习日语。 The prisoner attempted an escape.那犯人企图逃走。
