我个子不高，她个子也不高。
--They can't cook. Neither can we. =We can't cook, either.

（2）如果表示后者与前者情形相同，“也……”，
常用so引起的倒装句，so+助动词/系动词be/情态动词+主语。
eg:--My friends are happy. So am I.=I'm happy, too./I'm also happy.
我的朋友高兴，我也很高兴。
--They will leave by air. So will you. =You will also leave by air.

(3) neither...nor...既不。。。也不。。。 连接主语，讲究就近原则。Neither you nor he likes playing tennis. 反义词组; both。。。And... 既。。。又 连接主语，动词用复数。Both you and he like playing tennis.
2. Most of us have probably heard of Mickey Mouse, Donald duck and many other famous Disney Characters.大概我们大多数人都听说过米老鼠、唐老鸭及其他迪斯尼的著名人物。
（1）辨析: hear, hear of, hear from
**hear 为动词，有听见和听说之意。作“听见”解，只强调结果。作为：“听说”解，其后一般跟从句。
eg:--My grandma can't hear very well.我奶奶听觉不好。
--I hear that they miss us very much.我听说他们很想念我们。
--I heard him singing in the next room.我听见他在隔壁房间里唱歌。

**hear of听说，听到，其后跟名词或从句。

**heard from 意为“收到......的信”，“得到......消息”。
注意：hear from 的宾语应该是“人”，而不是“信”。
eg:--Have you heard from Jane recently? 最近你收到过琼的来信吗？
（2）famous adj. 意思是“著名的，出名的，极好的
辨析：be famous for ,be famous as
**be famous for因为……而出名/著名，for后接表示特点、特长的名词，表示人或物闻名的原因
eg:--Einstein was famous for his Theory of Relativity．爱因斯坦以他的相对论而闻名。
--Sanya is famous for "Tianya Haijiao".".三亚以其天涯海角而驰名。
--The village is famous for its green tea．这个村庄以绿茶而出名。

 这个村庄是产绿茶的地方。
--HanHong is famous as a pop singer.韩红以流行歌曲而闻名。
3. This means that you can find Disney characters all over the roller coaster. 
那意味着你会在旱冰场上到处看见迪斯尼的知名人物。   
（1） mean表示“意味着”用来表示人的言论或行为，某一标志或词语的意思所指。

 （4）have meaning to sb 对某人来说有意义。
4 You won't have any problem finding rice, noodles, dumplings.
你会毫不费力地找到米饭、面条、水饺。
have problems (in) doing 这一结构表示“做谋事很费劲”。介词in指某一方面，在句中可省略，后面接动词+ing形式。
problem是可数名词，在句型中作“困难、麻烦”解，这里problems还可以用difficulty或trouble代替，但这两个词在句型中作不可数名词用。
eg:--We had some problems getting to the top of mountain.
到达山顶我们费了很大劲。
--I didn't have any problems finding my uncle's house.
我毫不费力地找到我叔叔家。
5. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it's dark.   天黑时去动物园好像很奇怪。
seem在此为“好像、似乎”之意，其后加形容次。

--She seems sad.她似乎很伤心。
2） seem to do something.
eg:--He seems to be happy. 他好像很高兴
--My mother seemed to know that. 我妈妈好像知道那件事。
3） It seems that +
eg:--It seems that he is happy.
=He seems (to be) happy 他好像很快乐

=It seemed that she was sleeping then.他好像在考虑什么。
6. three quarters 四分之三
分数的表达： 分子用基数词，分母用序数词。 三分之一：one third； 分子超过一，分母加s, 三分之二：two thirds
7. population
1).问某地人口是多少？ What is the population of ….? What’s the population of Dong Ying?
2) 形容人口多用large， 人口少用small。 The population in China is larger than that in America. 中国人口比美国人口多。
3) 某地部分人口 动词要用复数 Three quarters of the population are Chinese.
8. be asleep 入睡 go to sleep
He has been asleep for two hours. 他已经入睡两个小时了 he went to sleep two hours ago.
9 rather than
rather than 是一个并列连词，用法比较复杂，现归纳如下：
1. rather than 与would 连用时，构成“would rather...than...”句式，意思是“宁愿……而不愿……”，表示主观愿望，即在两者之中选择其一。例如：
She'd rather die than lose the children. 她宁愿死也不愿失去孩子们。
2.表示“宁愿……而不愿……，与其……宁可……”的意思时，1)则可用would rather do…than…do或would do…rather than…do的句型也可用prefer to do …rather than do 表达;2)prefer后跟动名词+to+动名词。有时prefer后面也可跟名词，而在would rather之后要求只带动词原形。
例 He prefers wine to beer．= He would rather drink wine than beer 他喜欢喝红葡萄酒而不喜欢喝啤酒。
I prefer tennis to golf．= I’d rather play tennis than golf． 我喜欢打网球而不喜欢打高尔夫球。
例 I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema. 我宁可在家看电视而不愿去看电影。
I prefer to watch TV rather than go to the cinema.
I prefer watching TV to going to the cinema.
The children would walk there rather than take a bus. 孩子们宁愿步行去那里而不愿乘公共汽车。
The children prefer walking to taking a bus.
3. rather than 不与would连用时，表示客观事实，意为“是……而不是……；与其……不如……”。可用instead of替换。它连接的并列成分可以是名词、代词、形容词、介词(短语)、动名词、分句、不定式、动词等。现分述如下：
(1) 连接两个名词或代词
He is an explorer rather than/instead of a sailor. 与其说他是一个海员，不如说他是一个探险者。
You rather than I are going to go camping. 是你而不是我要去要野营。
I decided to write rather than telephone. 我决定写信而不打电话。
