so…that…
so...that和such...that的意思均为“如此……以致……”,都用来引导结果状语从句。但二者用法不尽相同,现归纳如下:
so...that结构中的so为副词,后面跟形容词或副词;such...that中的such为形容词,后面接名词 (名词前可以有形容词或副词修饰)。例如:
He became so angry that he couldn't speak. 他变得很生气,以致说不出话来。
It was such a fine day that we went out for a walk. 那是一个很晴朗的日子,我们出去散步。
当that前的名词有表示数量多少的many, much, few, little等修饰时,只能用so,不能用such。例如:
There was so much noise outside that we couldn't hear the teacher. 外面嘈杂声很大,以致我们不能听到老师的话。
He had so many falls that he was black and blue all over. 他跌了这么多的跤,以致全身青一块、紫一块的。
注意:若名词前的little解释为“小(的)”意思时,则仍用such, 而不能用so。例如:
It is such a little sheep that it can't run fast. 它是一只小绵羊,它不能够跑得快。
当that前是单数可数名词且该名词前面有形容词修饰时,so与such可以互换,
即:so+adj.+a/an+n.=such+a/an+adj.+n.。例如:
She is so good a teacher that we all love her.=She is such a good teacher that we all love her. 她是一位好老师,我们都爱她。
当that前是不可数名词或复数可数名词时,则必须用such,不能用so来代替。例如:It was such fine weather that they all went swimming. 那是个好天气,他们都去游泳了。
They are such nice apples that we would like to eat them. 它们是如此好的苹果,以致我们想吃它们。

五.语法应用(Negative statements)
1. 情态动词+not
2. not与其他词连用
3. not用于if从句中
a list of the most commonly used negative words:
no, not, never, neither, hardly, seldom, few, little, barely…
a list of the most commonly used negative expressions:
on no account, in no circumstances, never before, nowhere, at no time, by no means…
There are some other patterns which can be used to express negation.
1 too + adjective +to-infinitive
In this pattern too, with the meaning ‘very’, is used before an adjective. After the adjective, an infinitive is used to mean ‘(somebody) cannot do’ or ‘something cannot be done’. Sometimes for somebody can be used before the infinitive.
My father is too old to have such a long journey. (=My father is very old and cannot travel so long.)
She is too happy to say a word at the party. (=She is so happy that she cannot say anything at the party.)
The box is too heavy to carry. (=The box is so heavy that no one can carry it.)
The house is too expensive for us to buy. (=The house is so expensive that we cannot buy it.)
2 few + a countable noun; little +an uncountable noun
When we use few to modify a countable noun, we mean ‘not many’, and the noun should be in its plural form. When we use little to modify an uncountable noun, we mean ‘not much’. And few or little here has the negative meaning.
Few students in our class have ever read Katherine Mansfield’s short stories. (=Not many/Only one or two students in our class have ever read Katherine Mansfield's short stories.)
We have little rain all this summer. (=It almost does not rain during this summer.)
Because few or little has the negative meaning, we do not use the negative form in question tags.
e.g.
Few people liked his painting at that time, did they?
There is little ink in the bottle, is there?
Turn the following into negative statements:
1. They’re listening to pop music now.
2. Many people can speak English nowadays.
3. You must make your bed after you get up every day.
4. His mother has a beautiful car.
5. We need a pen and piece of paper.

Millions of women use cosmetics, often called “make-up”. The cosmetics industry is one of the biggest in the world. Most large stores sell cosmetics, and there are always shops at airports selling them cheaply.
The word “cosmetics” refers to anything that people put on their faces to make them look better. Lipstick, face powder and cream, and eye make-up are the most popular. Although more women than men use cosmetics, there are cosmetics for men as well as women.
Some people even have cosmetic surgery to make their faces look different. They have the shapes of their noses and eyes changed.
The most widely used cosmetic is probably lipstick, as many women who do not wear any other make-up will often put on a little lipstick.
Lipstick is made by mixing together different oils and colors. The mixture is then allowed to get hard and is cut into the shape of a small pencil. When a woman presses the lipstick to her lips, the end of it becomes soft, and some of it sticks to her lips, giving them extra color.
Cosmetics were probably first used in India, but it was the Egyptians, six thousand years ago, who made the most use of them. Rich Egyptian women painted their eyes green and black. They used a red color to paint pretty designs on their fingernails, the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet. Pictures of Cleopatra always show her wearing a lot of make-up.
The Romans also used cosmetics. They liked to make their skin very white and to paint their eyes. They also used a kind of lipstick.
In England at one time, very rich women had baths in milk to make their skin beautiful. They also used a lot of sweet-smelling powder to stop people smelling their bodies, which were often very dirty because they did not wash very often or change their clothes.

Several years ago, when a foreigner appeared in China, many people would gather around and stared at him or her as if they were watching a rare animal.
However, it’s not uncommon to meet some foreigners even in middle schools now. There’s no doubt that schools will be better known. What’s more, it’s good for students to develop interest in English study as well as learn more about foreign cultures. Meanwhile, their oral English will be improved a lot. On the other hand, some foreigners, though well paid, find it difficult to get used to the way of life in a foreign country and they sometimes worry about their safety. The most important thing is that they are not quite familiar with the students. As a result, many students can’t benefit from them.

五.语法应用(省略)
省略是英语中的一种避免重复,突出关键词语,并使上下文紧密连接的语法手段。英语中,省略的原则是既不损害语法结构,同时又不能产生歧义。
1. 不使用替代词的省略
(1) 省略主语
I have done more than (what ) is required.
(You) Open the window and the door for me,please.
(2) 省略主谓语或主谓语的一部分
Why (do) not (you) say goodbye to your lovely cousin ?
(Are you ) Ready ?Try to answer these questions in your own words.
(3) 省略宾语
---Which of them is better ?
---Well,it is hard to tell (which of them is better).
(4) 省略表语
---Are you hungry ?
---Yes, I am (hungry).
(5) 省略所有格后面的名词
Jack and his sister stayed in his uncle’s(home) during the summer vacation.
The girl’s handwriting is much better than his brother’s (handwriting).
(6) 省略定语从句中的关系代词
关系代词that, which, whom在定语从句中作宾语时通常都可以省略。如:
The book (that) he bought last week is written by Guo Jingming.
Here is the wonderful book (which )I have read many times.
The man (whom) you had said hello to was my English teacher.
(7) 不定式中的省略
a 英语中为避免重复,经常省略上下文已提到的动词原形,只保留不定式中的
小品词to;这类动词有:expect, forget, hope, intend, mean, prefer, refuse, try, want,
wish, would like和love等。如:
She asked me to dance with her, but I didn’t want to (dance with her).
---Do you want to give us a lecture about how to use an English dictionary?
---No,I prefer not to (give a lecture about how to use an English dictionary)
b 在have to, need, ought to, be going to, used to等后省略动词。如:
I really didn’t want to go there with him, but I had to (go there with him).
c 在某些形容词等后省略后面的动词。如:
---Will you join in our discussion ?
---I’ll be glad to (join in your discussion).
d 如果不定式中带有be, have, have been等,通常保留be, have, have been。如:
---Did he pass the driving test ?
---No, but he ought to have (passed the driving test).
2.使用替代词的省略
(1) 通常情况下,在省略了某个词、短语或句子时,还需要用某个替代词。常用的替代词有:do /does /did,so,not,neither,nor和the same等。
用助动词do /does /did来替代上下文出现的动词,以免重复。如:
She speaks English more fluently than her elder sister does.
(2) 用so可替代单词、短语或句子,作believe, be afraid, expect, do, fear, hope, suppose, say, think 等的宾语。如:
---Will it be fine tomorrow?
---I hope so. (I hope that it will be fine tomorrow.)
3. 常见的省略结构
省略的特殊用法:
1.当几个不定式并列时,第一个不定式通常保留to,而后面的不定式通常省略to。
2.由两个或两个以上的that引导的宾语从句相并列时,通常第一个that可以省略,而后面的that不可省略。
3.Possible / necessary 与if, when, where, whenever, wherever等连用时总是省略“it is”等。
4.as…as possible 结构常表达“尽可能……”。
5.if only 后常加一个虚拟句,表达“要是……就好了”。
6.what if / though句式常用来表示“要是 / 即使……怎么办”。
