4.I am glad to ________ you that your mother has arrived
A. notify
B. magnify
C. note
D. mash
正确答案:A
译文:我很高兴告诉你,你母亲到了
notify v.通知,告知;
magnify v. 放大; 赞美;
note v. 注意,记录;
mash v. 磨碎,捣碎;
考察点:单词基本含义,特别比较note和notify在使用上的区别
note
to remind yourself 提醒自己
to notice or pay careful attention to sth 注意;留意
note在使用起来的时候,一般是提醒 注意 某个东西,例如
Please note (that) the office will be closed on Monday. 请注意办事处星期一将关闭。
提醒谁并没有说。
而notify的用法 ~ sb (of sth)~ sth to sb to formally or officially tell sb about sth (正式)通报,通知
本题出于对提醒的考察,note后接的对象包括[ VN] [ V (that)] [ V wh-],注意这里这里接that的用法,与刚才的例句一样,没有接sb再加that的用法。
而这里的notify及人本身是为了声明告诉的对象,而note并不需要。
magnify v. 放大; 赞美;
to make sth look bigger than it really is, for example by using a lens or microscope
所以magnify还有夸张的意思
mash v. 磨碎,捣碎;
~ sth (up)to crush food into a soft mass 捣烂,捣碎(食物)
a ~ (of sth)any food that has been crushed into a soft mass 糊状食物
所以还有特指糊状物的意思
