18世紀60年代考向也就是1760～1769年，讀作theseventeensixties，也可以寫作the1760's。在其前須用定冠詞the，在年代的后面加-s或加-'s。eg：Greatchangestookplaceinourcountryinthe1980s.20世紀80年代我國發生了巨大變化。典例In________，theyoungbegantoworryaboutthehouse.A．1990sB．the1990sC．1990'D．the1990s'B

【點撥】考查年代的表示法。年代前需用定冠詞the，

年代后加-s或-'s。故本題選B。知識點2born/b??n/v.出生born常與be動詞搭配，構成beborn短語，表示“出生”。用于一般過去時，后跟介詞in/on表示出生的時間或地點。注意：in后跟地點和年月，on后跟具體某一天。eg：Hewasbornin1998.他出生于1998年。MysonwasbornonApril18th.我的兒子出生于4月18日?？枷騇andela________onJuly18，1918inSouthAfricaanddiedonDecember6，2013.A．areborn

B．wasbornC．didbornD．doborn典例【點撥】born一般用于be動詞后，由時間狀語可知用一般過去時，故選B。B知識點3during/'dj??r??/prep.在……期間考向一作介詞，不要將其誤用作連詞。eg：Hecametoseemeduringmyillness.(正確)HecametoseemeduringIwasill.(錯誤)eg：Marymadealotoffriendsduringhervacation.瑪麗在度假期間交了許多朋友。during通常表示事件發生在何時(when)，而for則表示事件持續了多長時間(howlong)。eg：Bobwasinhospitalforsixweeksduringthe

summer.鮑勃在夏天的時候住了6個星期的醫院?？枷蚨uring和for后均可接一段時間，但兩者有差別。典例________theSyria(敘利亞)Warin2014,alotofSyrianssufferedstarvation(饑餓)anddeatheveryday.A．On

B．During

C．For

D．To【點撥】考查介詞。句意：在2014年敘利亞戰亂期間，許多敘利亞人每天遭受著饑餓和死亡的威脅。during“在……期間”，A、C、D均無此意，由句意知應選B。B知識點4speed/spi?d/n.速度speed既可作可數名詞，也可作不可數名詞，常用短語：ataspeedof，of后接數字表示具體的速度；athigh/low/fullspeed以高速/低速/全速。eg：—What'sthespeedofyourcarnow?你的車現在的速度是多少？—Ataspeedof80kilometresperhour.每小時八十公里?？枷虻淅军c撥】后有修飾成分“of＋具體數字”，與介詞at搭配構成ataspeedof短語。故選A。Weweretravelling________ofthirtymilesanhour.A．ataspeed
