二. 重点、难点讲解 1. by asking the teacher for help通过向老师寻求帮助

(1)“ask+ sb+ for+名词”意为“向某人要求 ”。They asked me for help.他们向我求助。

(2)by作介词时，后接动词-ing形式 “通过 的方式”。Mr Green makes a living by teaching.格林先生以教书为生。

◎“在 旁边，在 附近”。Li Lei sits by my side in the classroom. ◎“在 之前，I can finish doing my homework by six o’clock. ◎表示交通方式，意为“乘 ”。I usually go to school by bike.

特别提示by作副词时，相当于near，意为“靠近”。

2. He’s been learning English for six years and really loves it.

He’s是He has的缩写。这是一个现在完成进行时态的句子，由“助动词have/has+been+现在分词”构成，

3. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all. 她补充说，和朋友交谈一点帮助都没有。

（2）at all与not, no, nothing, nobody, nowhere等表示否定意义的词连用，用来加强否定意义，表示“完全不，一点儿都不，丝毫不”的意思。He doesn’t like swimming at all.他一点儿都不喜欢游泳。

◎not at all单独使用时，用来回答对方的感谢或道歉，相当于That’s all right, You’re welcome等。但是,You’re welcome主要用于美国英语中，而英国人则多用Not at all。

4. We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese. 有些话题让我们兴奋不已 ，最后干脆说起汉语来。

（1）be/get excited about意思是“对 感到兴奋”，其中about后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式。

Are you excited about going to Shanghai? 你对去上海感到兴奋吗？

(2)excited表示“感到兴奋，激动”，主语常为人。We were excited when we saw our team was winning.

exciting作“令人激动的”，“令人兴奋的”解时，常用来修饰物或事。The football match we watched was very exciting.

（3）end up意为 以 结束或告终”，后面接动词-ing形式。
