2016全国英语等级考试PETS-3三级复习笔记(1)

　　1、Geography has been integrating many different subjects in its approach.

　　has been integrating：现在完成进行时

　　现在完成进行时与现在完成时皆可表示动作对现在产生的结果，但前者所表示的结果是直接的，而后者所表示的则是最后结果。如：

　　A：Be careful! John has been painting the door.

　　B ：John has painted the door.

　　A句表示约翰刚刚把门刷漆过，现在油漆还末干，所以得小心。

　　B句则无此含义，油漆可能已经干了。

　　2、Many schools have eliminated geography in favor of more math and science courses.

　　In favor of：

　　(1)赞成某人/某事;支持某人/某事。如：

　　Was he in favor of the death penalty? (他赞成死刑吗?)

　　(2)(指支票)以某人/某部门为收款人。如：

　　Cheques should be written in favor of the Red Cross.

　　支票上请写明以红十字会为收款人。

　　3、SoI has a vital social cause other than recovering costs.

　　other than

　　(1) 除了(表示所说的不包括在内)。如：

　　She has no close friends other than him. (她除了他之外没有好朋友。)

　　(2) 不同于，而不。如：

　　I have never known him behave other than selfish. (我只知道他自私自利。)
