     Key words and expressions
1.noise
  noise n.噪音；喧闹声；响声
 There is so much noise in this restaurant;I can
hardly hear you talking.
 这个餐厅里太嘈杂了，我几乎听不到你说话。
 I heard the noise outside.
 我听见外面有喧闹声。
[链接]
 noise v.发出噪音，谣传；
 If you don't stop making that noise I'm going to lose
my patience.
 你要再不停止发出噪音，我可要火了。
 Would you please stop making that noise?
 你能不能不要再发出那种噪音了？
 It was noised abroad that his company had gone bankrupt.
  外面谣传他的公司已破产。
[辨析]sound,voice & noise
 sound,noise和voice这三个名词都可表示“声音”，但是，它们表示的
“声音”并不相同。
（1）sound作“声音”，“响声”讲时，可以指人或动物发出的声音，或
物体碰撞的声言。这个词的使用范围很大。可以说，大自然的任何“声音”
都可以用sound。如：
At midnight he heard a strange sound.
半夜里他听到一种奇怪的声音。
We couldn't hear a sound here.
在这里我们一点声音也听不到。
（2）noise意为“噪音”、“喧闹声”，常指不悦耳、不和谐的嘈杂声。如：
Don't make any noise! 别吵闹！
The noise wakes me up.噪音吵醒了我。
The noise of traffic kept him awake.
车辆的喧闹声使她睡不着。
He enjoys the country life,away from city noise.
他喜欢乡村生活，远离城市的喧闹。
We were woken up by noises in the night.
我们夜间被噪声吵醒了。
（3）voice一般指人的声音，说话、唱歌。谈笑都可用voice。sound和
noise不仅能指人的声音，还可以表示别的动物发出的声音；而voice除了
有时可指鸟的声音外，很少表示其它动物的声音。如：
The girl has a beautiful voice.
那女孩嗓音很美。
They are talking in low voices.
他们正小声交谈。
Don't speak in such a high voice.
说话声音不要这么大。

singing in the next room!

A.look
B.noise
C.voice
2.population
population是一个集合名词，它的用法有时较为特殊，很容易用错。
（1）population常与定冠词the连用，作主语用时，谓语动词常用
第三人称单数形式。如：
The world's population is increasing faster and faster.
全世界的人口增长得越来越快。
At the beginning of the twentieth century,the world's
population was about 1,700 million.
在二十世纪初，全世界的人口大约是十七亿。
（2）当有分数、百分数修饰主语population，谓语动词用复数形式。
如：About seventy percent of the population in China are farmers.
     中国大约百分之七十的人口是农民。
（3）有时population可用作可数名词，其前可用不定冠词。如：
  China has population of about 1,3 billion.=There is a
population of about 1.3 billion in China.
中国大约有十三亿人口。
  Now York is a big city with a population of over 10 million.
纽约是一个有一千多万人口的大城市。
（4）表示人口的“多”或“少”，不用much或little，而要用large，big
或small。如:
  India has a large population.
   印度人口众多。
  Singapore has a small population.
   新加坡人口少。
（5）询问某国、某地有多少人口时，不用How much?,而用How large...?;
在问具体人口时用What is...?如：
  ---How large is the population of your hometown?
     你们家乡有多少人口？
  ---The population of our hometown is nearly twice as large as
that of yours.
     我们家乡的人口是你们家乡人口的将近两倍。
  ---What is the population of Canada?
     加拿大的人口有多少？
  ---The population of Canada is about 29 million.
     加拿大的人口大约有二千九百万。

A.What;are B.How many;are C.What;is D.How many;is
3.increase
  increase可用作及物动词和不及物动词，意为“增加，增大”。如：
  The number of students has increased.
   学生的人数增加了。
注意：increase to...增加到......increase by增加了.....
  Production of iron has increased to 120 million tons,which
means that it has increased by 20%.
  铁的产量已增加到一亿两千万吨，意思是说它增加了20%。
4.too many
  too many表示“太多”，后接可数名词的复数形式。如：
  There are too many TV advertisements in between the program.
  这个电视节目中的广告太多了。
  Your composition contains too many mistakes.
  你的作文错误太多。
[解析]
 too many,too much和much too
 这三个词语的主要区别在于它们的中心词以及它们所修饰的词不同。三者
之中的前一个词都是修饰词，用来加强语气，后一个词是中心词。因此，在
使用时只需要考虑后一个词的用法就行了。
（1）too many的中心词是many，用法与many相同，用来修饰复数可数名词。
如：He's got too many questions to ask you.
    他有很多问题要问你。
    They bought too many eggs yesterday.
    昨天他们买了太多的鸡蛋。
（2）too much的中心词是much,用法与much相同，用来修饰不可数名词。如：
   We both have too much work to do.
   我们俩都有很多工作要做。
   She spent too much money on clothes.
   她花太多钱买衣服。
   The teather told him not to spend too much time playing games.
   老师叫他不要花太多时间玩游戏。
   I'm afraid that I've given you too much trouble.
   恐怕我太麻烦你了。
（3）much too的中心词是too,用法与too相同，用来修饰原级形容词或副词。如：
   You're walking much too fast.Slow down.
   你走得太快了，慢点。
   I'm afraid that this cap is much too big for me.
   这顶帽子我戴恐怕太大了。
   It's much too cold outside.You'd better put on your overcoat.
   外面太冷了，你最好把大衣穿上。
[考题链接]
（D）He eats__food,so he is__fat.
    A.too many;too much
    B.too many;much too
    C.too much;too much
    D.too much;much too
解题思路：根据该题句意“他吃了太多的事物，因此他很胖”可知，该题正确答案为D项。
    Health is very important to us.We should eat more vegetables and fruit
instead of_A_rich food.(2006黑龙江哈尔滨）
    A.too much B.much too C.very much
解题思路：too much意为“太多”，用来修饰不可数名词；而much too的含义是“（实在）
太......”，用来修饰形容词和副词。分析比较三个选项，由题中的关键信息rich food
可知正确答案为A。
    I’m going to be late for work.There're_A_buses on this route(路线）.
(2011沈阳)
    A.too few  B.too little
    C.too many D.too much
[解析]词语解析。根据前句“我上班将会迟到的”可知，这条路线的公交车很少，又
bus为可知名词，应该用few来修饰，故答案为A.
  --Did you sleep well last night?
  --Oh,no._A_noise outside the hotel almost drove me mad.(2013宿迁）
     A.Too much B.Much too C.Too many D.So many
  --The meat is__delicious.
  --Yes,but don't eat__.(2013广西玉林）
   A.too much;too much
   B.much too;too much
   C.too much;much too
   D.much too;much too
【解析】考查副词的用法。too much太多，修饰不可数名词；much too太，非常，
修饰形容词或副词原级。根据delicious可知要用much too来修饰，意为非常美味，
第二空根据句意可知别吃得太多。所以选择答案B。
