2. be tired of ______________

I am tired from running as fast as I can.
3. go abroad _______________ 4. in a positive way ______________5. other than除了
Other than, except, apart from, besides, but 辨析：
1）except和besides都可作“除……之外” 但含义不同。
except “从所提到的人或物中除去，即从整体中除去一部分”，表示递减，含义是否定的
besides “除了…之外，还有…”，指“在整体中加入一部分”，表示递加的概念，含义是肯定的。
①We all went except him. 除他之外，我们都去了。(他没有去)
②We all went besides him. 除他之外，我们大家也都去了。(他也去了)
(1)besides常与other／more／else等词连用 ，except常与all／every／everyone／none／nobody／everything／nothing等总括词连用。
eg. He had other people to take care of besides me.
All the students in Class One went to the cinema except Li Ping.
(2)若句中没有实义动词do的某种形式，except后接不定式，而besides后接动词的-ing形式。
eg. I had no choice except to obey／besides obeying his order.
(3)若句中有实义动词do的某种形式，二者后面都可以接动词原形。
eg. She has nothing to do except／besides go with him.
(4)二者后面都可以接从句。
eg. ①Besides that he explained the theory he gave us some examples.
②He is a good student except that he sometimes comes late to school.
(5)except后面可接for(构成短语except for)或其他介词短语，而besides不能。
except for主要有三层含义：
①表示对整体主要部分的肯定和对局部的否定，起部分修正主要意思的作用。
eg.Your composition is quite excellent except for several spelling mistakes.
②表示非同类事物进行比较。 eg. The street is empty except for several cars.
③置于句首，表达except的含义。eg. Except for this, everything is in order.
except for后接名(代)词，可以转移为except＋从句或其他介词短语。
eg. The climate here is good except for some rainy days.(except when it rains；except that it sometimes rains；except on the rainy days)
2). apart from兼有besides和except for两种含义，后接名词、代词或动名词。
3). but含义与except相同，都表示递减的概念，二者在多数情况下可以互换，但稍有区别。
①except可以代替but，但but并不一定都可以代替except，如果句中有no、all、nobody、who、where等不定代词或疑问词时，多用but；后跟宾语从句时，多用except。
②but for含义有时与except for相同，但主要表示“要不是…”，常用于虚拟句，表示假设。
③but位置的变化会引起人称代词主、宾格的变化。
No one but I (＝except me) knows it. No one knows it but me (＝except me).
4) other than含义与except／but相同，表示从总体中除去一部分，后接名词、代词或不定式。
eg. In that case there is nothing you can do other than wait. (2001年上海春季高考题)
7. Therefore, these places gradually come to have more and more similarities with the industrialized, urban areas. (P22)因此，这些地方逐渐和那些工业化的市区有了相似处。
