【知识点】
1. could/can 不能与be able to 连用
这首题考查的是could的用法，在复习"could"这个单词时要重点搞清楚他和其他情态动词的区别，尤其在虚拟语气中。考试可以常考的＾＾
2. 第二题就不讲了，大家查字典知道每个词的定义之后就OK了
3. haste, hurry和speed的同义词辨析。
首先，"haste"是指急速的行动，其原因可能是环境压力，也可能是强烈的愿望。
然后，"hurry"是指仓促、忙乱的动作。
最后，"speed"是指快速的动作，它还暗指不忙乱，有效率。
那么，大家懂了没＾＾
4. kid
n. 小孩，儿?，少年
v. 欺骗，开玩笑：Don't kid me.别欺骗我。
5. 熟记sense的常考短语
make sense有意义；意思清楚；有道理
make no sense无意义
make sense of 理解；懂；明白
in a sense在某一方面；就某种意义来说
a sense of humor幽默感
6. social和sociable的辨析
7. 这词考的是responsibility的搭配，show/shoulder/take/assume responsibility for 对……负责
8. 区别alone和lonely。
alone指独自一人的，而lonely指孤单的、孤独的。（个人觉得lonely有感情色彩，而alone只是叙述事实而已）
9. in case 以防
10. quality, characteristic和feature的辨析：
quality系常用词，指表现于某人或某物与其他不同特质或特点
characteristic指特殊的、易于辨认的特性或特征
feature指引人注意的显著特征或细节
