考點(diǎn):offer的兩個熱點(diǎn)用法。
解讀:1)表示“提供”之意。句型為:offer sb. sth.或offer sth. to sb. 此時相當(dāng)于supply sb.with sth.或supply sth. to sb. 2)表示“開價”之意。句型為“offer sb. sth. for+錢”或“offer sb.+錢+for sth.” 3)offer也可作名詞,意為“提議,提供物,出價”。如:Believe it or not, I’ve had an offer of $30,000 for the house.
考例:
1. ——If you like I can do some shopping for you.

2.Eating habits become part of who we are.
考點(diǎn):who與whoever引導(dǎo)名詞性從句的區(qū)別。
解讀:二者均可作名詞性從句的引導(dǎo)詞,且都可在從句中充當(dāng)主語或賓語。所不同的是含義:whoever意為“凡是……的人”,相當(dāng)于anyone who或those who,故whoever引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句指“人”,而who引導(dǎo)的從句指“事”。如:Who will go is not important.(指“誰去”這事不重要)。如將who改為whoever則意為“要去的任何人是不重要的。”
