Step 6. Language points of the texts
1. When he was a young boy he used to ask lots of questions...
在孩童時(shí)代，他常常問(wèn)許多問(wèn)題……
used to do sth. 意為“過(guò)去常常做某事”，在使用時(shí)應(yīng)注意兩點(diǎn)區(qū)別：
(1) 與would的區(qū)別：
used to一般不和過(guò)去的頻度狀語(yǔ)連用，而would可以。used to既表示狀態(tài)，也表示反復(fù)性的動(dòng)作，而would只表示反復(fù)性的動(dòng)作，如：
When I was young, I used to have a lot more free time than I do now. I used to live near my work and would always get home early. Sometimes I would do a bit of gardening or go for a long walk.我年輕時(shí)比我現(xiàn)在空閑得多。我過(guò)去的居所離工作地點(diǎn)近，因此常常早早回家。有時(shí)我干點(diǎn)園藝活或散散步。
注意句中的used to have和used to live表示持續(xù)的狀態(tài)，不可用would，而和always及sometimes連用的would因?yàn)橛斜硎绢l度的狀語(yǔ)從而不能用used to替代。
(2) 與be used to doing sth.和be used to do sth.的區(qū)別：
be used to doing sth.意為“習(xí)慣于做某事”，be used to doing sth.意為“被用來(lái)干什么”，而used to do sth.意為“過(guò)去常常做某事”，如：
He used to bring me roses when he came to see me.
過(guò)去他來(lái)看我時(shí)常帶玫瑰花。
I'm used to doing jogging in the morning now.
我習(xí)慣于早上慢跑。

2. By the time he was fourteen years old, he had learned maths all by himself. 到他14歲那年，他已自學(xué)了數(shù)學(xué)。
(1) by oneself 意為“獨(dú)自”，相當(dāng)于 alone。反身代詞可以組成一些習(xí)語(yǔ)和詞組，如：I'm not myself today. 我今天不舒服。The emperor wished to see the cloth for himself.皇帝想親眼看看這種布。The door opened of itself.門(mén)自動(dòng)開(kāi)了。Bob has taught himself German for four years.鮑勃自學(xué)了四年德語(yǔ)。The little girl dare not stay at the lonely cottage by herself.那個(gè)小女孩不敢單獨(dú)留在那荒涼的小房子里。
(2) by與時(shí)間名詞連用時(shí)一般表示“到某時(shí)為止”，由于終點(diǎn)時(shí)間不同，其后所接的時(shí)態(tài)也不同。此外，狀態(tài)性的動(dòng)詞多用一般時(shí)，而動(dòng)作性的動(dòng)詞多用完成時(shí)，如：By the time he was fourteen years old, he knew he would become a scientist.到他14歲那年，他意識(shí)到他將成為一名科學(xué)家。By the time he was fourteen years old, he had learned two thousand words.到他14歲那年，他已學(xué)了2000個(gè)詞。By the end of last year, we had set up another two branches in this area.到去年年底，我們已經(jīng)在這個(gè)地區(qū)建立了兩個(gè)分部。By now, several bridges have been built over the Changjiang River.到目前為止，長(zhǎng)江上已經(jīng)建了好幾座橋。By the end of this century, China will have become a more powerful country in the world.到本世紀(jì)末，中國(guó)將成為世界上更強(qiáng)大的國(guó)家。

content 意為“滿(mǎn)足的”、“滿(mǎn)意的”、“愿意的”。content 是表語(yǔ)形容詞，一般不作定語(yǔ)作用。content作表語(yǔ)時(shí)，后面常常接介詞with或動(dòng)詞不定式。

She is always content with very little. 她總是很容易滿(mǎn)足。
I should be well content to do so. 我很樂(lè)意這樣做。

Can you calculate the content of the tube? 你能計(jì)算出試管的容量嗎?
5. With the pay that he received and saved, he went on with his studies at university, where he received a doctor's degree in 1905. 他用自己掙來(lái)和節(jié)省的錢(qián)繼續(xù)在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，于1905年獲得了一個(gè)博士學(xué)位。
(1) 這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句，其中包含了兩個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句。That he received and saved修飾the pay, where he received a doctor's degree in 1905修飾university。
(2) receive 意為“受到”或“收到”，語(yǔ)義與accept有別，accept意為“(主動(dòng)地)接受”如：I received his invitation yesterday, but I didn't accept it. 我昨天收到他的請(qǐng)柬，但沒(méi)有接受。
(3) pay 是不可數(shù)名詞，意為“薪金”或“報(bào)酬”，常用low/high修飾，如：

6. ... he began the research and studies which led to his new discoveries in physics. 他開(kāi)始了研究，這些研究使他在物理學(xué)領(lǐng)域有了新的發(fā)現(xiàn)。
(1) lead to 是一個(gè)活躍的詞組，意為“通向”、“導(dǎo)致”、“使得”等等，其常見(jiàn)的結(jié)構(gòu)是 lead to sth. 或 lead sb.to sth. 或lead sb. to do sth.。如：
(2) All roads lead to Rome. 條條道路通羅馬。
Hard work and proper ways will lead you to success. 勤奮的工作和正確的方法會(huì)使你成功。

7. He accepted the job of Professor of physics, but asked for very little money. 他接受了物理學(xué)教授的職位，但要求的薪水甚少。
派生詞：acceptable adj. 可以接受的 acceptance n. ［U］ 接受；贊同

1) for $ 1,000 a minute 意為“以每分鐘1,000美元的價(jià) 格”，for在這里相當(dāng)于 at the price of。又如：
The couple bought the house for $ 200,000. 這對(duì)夫婦花了20萬(wàn)美元買(mǎi)了這座房子。
They got the 51% of the shares of the company for100,000,000 dollars.
他們花了1億美元買(mǎi)下了這家公司的51%的股份。
2) a cheque for 1,500注意介詞for表示“代表”之意.

9. Einstein lived the rest of his life quietly in the USA. 愛(ài)因斯坦在美國(guó)寧?kù)o地度過(guò)了余生。rest作為“余留者”使用時(shí)，必須與the連用。本課中便是如此。試比較：

Besides在使用時(shí)需注意與except的區(qū)別。 besides常和another, more else等詞連用，表示兩者相加的關(guān)系。except常和all, every, no, nothing, nobody等詞連用，表示從整體中去除部分的關(guān)系。如：Besides me, two more students were chosen to take part in the competition. 除了我以外還有兩位學(xué)生也被選中去參加這次競(jìng)賽。

泰山頂上的空氣是如此清新，我們禁不住深深吸了幾口氣。
13. Before Einstein, scientists believed that lighttravelled through space in astraight line.
在愛(ài)因斯坦之前，科學(xué)家們相信光線(xiàn)是以直線(xiàn)通過(guò)太空的。
1) travel, quarrel的過(guò)去式、過(guò)去分詞以及現(xiàn)在分詞既可雙寫(xiě)“l(fā)”，也可單寫(xiě)“l(fā)”。而control, level, signal的過(guò)去式、過(guò)去分詞以及現(xiàn)在分詞必須雙寫(xiě)。

1) a result 用作狀語(yǔ)，常常用逗號(hào)與其修飾的其它句子成分隔開(kāi)。如：
He practised speaking and listening English for two hours every day. As a result, his
listening and speaking abilities were far better than those of his classmates.他每天聽(tīng)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)兩小時(shí)，結(jié)果他的聽(tīng)力和口語(yǔ)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)了他的同學(xué)。
2) 在本句中，appear不是不及物動(dòng)詞“出現(xiàn)”，而是系動(dòng)詞“似乎”、“看上去”，相當(dāng)于seem,其結(jié)構(gòu)也與seem相近，如：
