Step 2. Language points
1.spend…(in/on) doing sth.
花費(fèi)時(shí)間(金錢(qián))做某事
(1) cost 表示“花費(fèi)(多少錢(qián))” “需要(多少錢(qián))”,主語(yǔ)一般是表示所買(mǎi)東西的名詞,不能是表示人的名詞
sth. costs money/ cost one’s life
at the cost of 以…為代價(jià)
(2)spend money on 和 pay money for 都可用來(lái)表示花錢(qián)買(mǎi)東西
(3)take和spend在表示“花費(fèi)(時(shí)間)”時(shí)所用的句型不同
take常用于:
It takes (sb.)+time+to do sth.
It是形式主語(yǔ),不定式是真正的主語(yǔ)。
spend 常用于: spend time (in) doing sth./spend time on sth.
主語(yǔ)是人,注意介詞in后面是v.-ing的形式,in可省去,on后面通常是名詞
2. something后面的句子“he had noticed again and again”為定語(yǔ)從句,省去了“that”.
3. in a short time 立刻,很快 ahead of time 提前
at any time 隨時(shí) at one time 從前
at times 偶爾,有時(shí) many a time 多次,屢次
in no time 立刻,馬上 at a time 一次

far-away用作定語(yǔ)
far away from只表示距離
far from除了表示距離的“遠(yuǎn)離”之外,還有“遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不,完全不,決非”之意,后接名詞、動(dòng)名詞或形容詞。Far from perfect/satisfactory/the truth
They don’t live far (away).
They live at a far-away place.

7. the +比較級(jí),
the +比較級(jí)…
(1)”(從句)the+adj./adv.的比較級(jí)…,(主句)the+adj./adv.的比較級(jí)…”這種句型表示前者和后者在程度上同樣增加或同樣減少,
要注意這一句型中的“the”并不是冠詞,前面的“the”是關(guān)系副詞,有“by how much”之意;后面的“the”是指示副詞,有“by so much”之意,前面是狀語(yǔ)從句,后面是主句,前后呼應(yīng),
表示“越…就越…””愈是…,則愈是…”
[注]此結(jié)構(gòu)中的比較級(jí)可以是形容詞,也可以是副詞,主句如用一般將來(lái)時(shí),前面的狀語(yǔ)從句通常用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替一般將來(lái)時(shí) 。

當(dāng)表示“暫住”時(shí),用stay,不用remain.
