误：Thenewmachinewasdiscoveredbyaworker. 正：Thenewmachinewasinventedbyaworker.14/14 精析一件事物原先就已经存在而不为人知，如一个地方或一个事实，我们用发现（discover）。一件事物原先不存在而现在制造出来，如一种机器或一种方法，我们用发明（invent）。 【例3】哥伦布于1492年发现了美洲。 误：ColumbusfoundAmericain1492. 正：ColumbusdiscoveredAmericain1492. 精析discover意为“发现”，发现的对象是客观存在的东西或事实，但发现的人在未发现之前是不知道的，如新的科学真理，新的领域等。有时也可泛指“发现”、“认识到”某种情况。如： Wesoondiscoveredthetruth.不久我们便发现了事实真相。

精析since引导的时间状语从句，无论是延续性动词，还是非延续性动词，其一般过去时都表示动作或状态的结束，从句的动作结束在先，主句的动作发生于后，不能用while取代since，也不能用after取代since。表示在某一时刻之后的任意一点时间，主句用一般过去时。表示在某一点时间之后的持续性时间，主句中多用现在完成时。 【例5】她自生病以来，一直到校。 误：Shehasbeenatschoolsinceshewasill. 正：Shehasbeenatschoolsinceshehasbeenill. 精析since引导的时间状语从句如果用延续性动词的现在完成时，则表示该动作或状态一直延续到现在时刻，而且可以包括现在时刻在内，时间的起点应从动作发生之时算起，句子的意思和动词的词义相一致，具有肯定意义。如： SinceIhavebeenatthisschoolIhavemakerapidprogress. 自从我到这所学校以来，我已取得很大进步。 【例6】我喜欢音乐、诗歌和美术。 误：Ilovethemusic,thepoetryandtheart. 正：Ilovemusic,poetryandart. 精析泛指的时候（如泛指一切音乐、一切文学作品），通常用复数名词或不可数名词，不加冠词。 【例7】我很担心，因为玛丽很晚还没来。 误：IwasworriedbecauseofMarywaslate. 正：IwasworriedbecauseMarywaslate. 正：IwasworriedbecauseofMary’sbeinglate. 精析because是连词，引导原因状语从句，becauseof是短语介词，与名词、代词或者what引导的名词性从句连用。如： Iwentbacknotbecauseoftherain,butbecauseIwastired. 我回去并不是因为下雨，而是因为太累了。 【例8】写电视剧要比写广播剧容易一些。 误：It’s easiertowriteplaysforthetelevisionthatfortheradio.14/14 正：It’seasiertowriteplaysfortelevisionthanforradio. 精析在泛指广播和电视的时候，不用冠词，在listentotheradio这样的词组里要用冠词，但在watchtelevision和ontelevision这些词组里就不用冠词了。【同步练习】I．听力部分（略）Ⅱ.单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。11．＿＿＿＿whatvalueishissuggestion？ A．／ B．On
