刚升入九年级的你，翻到英语教材第一单元的时候，是不是忍不住皱眉头？满页都在讲“怎么学英语”，什么by+v-ing结构、什么学习方法相关的词组，看起来都是“虚”的干货，不如后面的语法句型、课文背诵来得实在？

更有同学背了半天单元词汇词组，一做题还是不会用，甚至觉得这单元的内容在中考里根本不考，没必要花太多时间。

其实恰恰相反，这单元是整个九年级英语的“方法论”核心，不管是平时的单元测，还是中考的阅读理解、书面表达，都常考学习方法相关的内容，今天就把这单元的所有核心知识点彻底拆透，再告诉你怎么把这些内容变成你自己的提分利器。

重点词汇全拆解：别再傻傻混淆形近词、近义词

单元开头的重点词汇全是九年级考查的高频易混词，背会了不仅能应对单元测，中考的词汇辨析题也能轻松拿分：

1. test / exam：两个词都有“考试”的意思，test更偏向于随堂的小测验、难度较低的技能考查，exam多指期末、升学这类正式的大型考试，比如We have a math test every Friday. The senior high school entrance exam is very important for us.

2. words / vocabulary：words指单个的“单词、话语”，是可数名词，vocabulary指“词汇量、词汇总称”，是不可数名词，比如I learned 10 new words today. My vocabulary is rich because I read English books every day.

3. excited / exciting：这是最容易混淆的一对形容词，ed结尾的形容词通常修饰人，表示“感到…的”，ing结尾的形容词通常修饰物，表示“令人…的”，比如I am excited about the coming school trip. The school trip is very exciting for all the students.

4. amazing / surprising：同理，amazing表示“令人惊叹的”，surprising表示“令人惊讶的”，前者程度更深，多指超出预期的正面事物，后者中性，可褒可贬，比如The amazing magic show made all the students cheer. It’s surprising that he got full marks in the exam.

5. sometimes / sometime / some times / some time：这四个长得像的词是考试必考点，要结合意思记：sometimes是频度副词，意为“有时”，句子中放be动词后、实义动词前；

sometime是不定代词，意为“某个不确定的时间”，常用于将来或过去的某个时间点；some times是“几次、几倍”，times在这里是“次数”的意思；

some time是“一段时间”，time在这里是不可数名词“时间”，比如I sometimes go to the library on weekends. Let’s meet sometime next week. I have been to Beijing some times. It will take me some time to finish this work.

6. for example / such as / like / begin with / to begin with：这几个都表示举例或顺序，for example一般放句首，后面用逗号隔开，只举一个例子；such as直接放在名词后面举多个例子；

like作介词“像、比如”时和such as用法类似，作动词“喜欢”时要结合语境判断；

begin with和to begin with都表示“首先、以…开始”，to begin with更常用于句首列举第一点，比如There are many after-school activities, such as basketball, painting and dancing. To begin with, we should finish our homework first. Then we can play basketball.

7. maybe / perhaps / probably：三个词都表示“也许、可能”，maybe是副词，通常放句首，口语和书面语都能用；perhaps也是副词，比maybe更正式一点，常放句首或句中；

probably是副词，意为“很可能、大概”，表示可能性更大，比如Maybe it will rain tomorrow. Perhaps he is at home now. He will probably come to the party on time.

8. affect / influence：affect通常作动词，意为“影响”，后面直接接宾语；

influence可作动词也可作名词，作动词时和affect意思接近，作名词时指“影响力”，比如Smoking affects your health badly. The teacher has a great influence on me.

9. problem / question：problem指“问题、难题”，通常指需要解决的、有一定难度的事；

question指“问题、疑问”，通常指需要回答的具体问题，比如I have a problem with my English listening, I can’t understand the tapes. If you have any questions, you can ask the teacher after class.

30个核心词组：每个都给你配好例句，看完就会用

单元列出的30个词组全是英语学习的常用表达，不管是日常交流还是考试都能用上，逐个给配好和英语学习相关的例句，背的时候结合例句记，永远忘不了：

1. ask…for…：ask sb for sth 向某人要某物/求某人的帮助，比如When I meet difficult English problems, I often ask my teacher for help.

2. speaking skills：speaking skills 口语技能，比如To improve my speaking skills, I practice speaking English with my classmates every day.

3. ask…about…：ask sb about sth 询问某人关于某事的情况，比如I asked my deskmate about the meaning of this new word.

4. not…at all：not…at all 一点也不，比如I don’t like English at all, but I have to learn it well.

5. get excited about：get excited about 对…感到兴奋，比如We got excited about the English party and prepared for it for a week.

6. end up：end up doing/be 最终…/以…告终，比如If you don’t listen carefully in class, you will end up failing the exam.

7. make mistakes：make mistakes 犯错误，比如We should learn from our mistakes instead of being afraid of making them.

8. first of all：first of all 首先，用于列举事项的第一点，比如First of all, we should finish our homework on time.

9. to begin with：to begin with 起初、首先，和first of all用法类似，比如To begin with, I didn’t like English
