【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】
1. arrive v. 到達(dá);來臨
這個(gè)詞是不及物動(dòng)詞，arrive in+大地點(diǎn);arrive at+小地點(diǎn)，例如：
I have just arrived in London/China.
I have just arrived at bar/home.
表示到達(dá)的詞get to=reach=arrive。
例句：If you arrive in Shanghai, please call me.
你到了上海之后請(qǐng)打個(gè)電話告知我一聲。
2.He doesn't say very much，does he?他沒寫許多，是嗎?
這是一個(gè)基本的反義疑問句，也稱為附加疑問句，附加疑問句中的前后兩部分的謂語在時(shí)態(tài)、人稱和數(shù)上都要一致。回答這種問句時(shí)要簡略，要根據(jù)事實(shí)回答。如果答語本身是肯定的，就用 Yes;如果答語本身是否定的，就用 No。
