Ⅲ. Text Learning
1. You’ll have a
great time and a lot of fun on the way.
Paraphrase : You’ll
have a wonderful time and lots of fun at college.
In this sentence, the
phrase “on the way” means “during the years at college”.
Generally, it means : on a route to some place
e.g. : We could call
in on Philip on the way to your mother's.
We were just on the
way when it began to rain.
2. but you will often
have to take the first step in whatever you choose to do
.
"whatever" in
this sentence means “anything”.
Whatever: det
(determiner 限定词). & pron. 1) any (thing) at all
that 任何;什么 …… 都
They eat whatever
(food) they can find. 他们找到什么(吃的)就吃什么。
Do whatever you like.
干你喜欢干的。
2) no matter what; without considering what 无论什么;不管什么
Whatever happens, keep trying. 无论发生什么,别放弃。
Whatever your reason, I shall hold to my idea.
无论你的理由是什么,我都要坚持我的看法。
3) any (else) like that 什么的

这对医生、老师、工人或其他任何人都一样。
Use telephone, letter, email, or whatever to communicate.

3. Yet your education
is also very serious business.
The word yet in this sentence means “even so ”.
e.g. She is vain and foolish, and yet people like her.
4. True, there will
be many people ready to help you.
Here “ready to help you” modifies “many people”. The meaning of
this part: It’s true that you will meet many people who can give
you help.
5. For a rich full
life of college you should make the most of the opportunities at
hand.
Paraphrase: If you want your college life colorful and meaningful,
you should make full use of the opportunities within
reach.
If
you make the most of something, you use it and enjoy it as
much as possible.
e.g. We are only in
Beijing for one day so let’s make the most of
it.
The phrase “at hand” means “close in space”, “within
reach”.
e.g. I haven't my
photograph album at hand, but I'll show it to you later.
And “at hand” sometimes also means “close in time”, “about
to occur”.
e.g. Election day is
at hand.
6. You know you have
a debt to many people.
Paraphrase: You owe a lot to many people who have done a lot for
you, and you need to do something for them in return for their
help.
7. They have worked
hard to make these opportunities open for you.
“open” in this
sentence is an adjective meaning “available”.

situation.
e.g. I love this
place in that everything here makes me happy.
Stop complaining. It
makes me nervous.
8. …unless you are

the party unless I'm invited. (I won’t go the

Structure Focus
1.
Whatever
These wild flowers
are so special I would do ________ I can to save them.
A. whatever B.
that C.
which D. whichever
此题考查关联词引导宾语从句时的用法。that引导宾语从句时,只起连接作用,在从句中不充当任何成分。which引导宾语从句具有双重作用:一方面起连接作用,同时在从句中充当某种成分,其意思与其作疑问词时的意思相同。弄清whichever与whatever的区别,我们便可确定此题的正确选项为A。
下面重点分析whatever的用法:
一、whatever作连接代词,意为"无论什么;不管什么",连接宾语从句、主语从句。如:
They eat whatever they can find. 他们找到什么就吃什么。
You can take whatever you like.你喜欢什么就拿什么吧。
二、whatever作连接形容词,意为"无论什么样的"。应当注意,
此用法的whatever必须同其被修饰的词一起放在从句前引导从句。如:
I can do whatever work I can find.我可以做我能找到的任何工作。
Whatever difficulties we meet, we can work them
out.无论遇到什么困难,我们都能解决它们。
三、whatever与whichever的区别。
这两个词的意思不同, whatever意为"无论什么;凡是……的事物";
whichever意为"无论哪个;无论哪些”。此外,whichever后也可以接一个名词,当然,在一定的语境中,与whichever连用的名词有时可以省略。如:
You should wear whichever dress suits you best.
什么衣服最适合你穿,你就应该穿什么。
I'll do whatever you ask me to do. 你叫我做什么,我就做什么。
四、whatever与what的区别。
whatever可以引导名词性从句或状语从句;what是个疑问词,用在疑问句中。如:
五、whatever与no matter what的区别。
no matter what 只能引导状语从句,但whatever既可引导状语从句,还可引导名词从句。
Don’t trust him, no
matter what he says.无论他说什么,都别信。
We will be grateful
for whatever amount you can afford. 你买得起多少,我们都欢迎。
Wherever you go ,
whatever you do , I will be right here waiting for you .
无论你走到哪里,无论你做什么,
No matter which
dictionary you want to buy, I'll pay for it.
无论你想买哪本词典,我都愿意付款。
