3. I think music is less interesting than P.E.

I _________think music is _________interesting than P.E.

[答案]don’t; more。less interesting的意思是“没有 / 不及……有趣”，与之相反more interesting的意思是“(比) ……更有趣”。 语言现象“否定的转移”要求将think后面宾语从句中的否定形式转移到think 上。

2. The factory is not far from here. It only takes you ten minutes by bike.

The factory is _________here. It’s only ten minutes’_________.

[答案]near; bike-ride。not far的意思是“不远，近”，可用形容词near与之转换。

1. The boy lent a story-book to Tom just now.

Tom _________ a story-book _________ the boy just now.

[答案]borrowed; from。borrow…from意为“从……借来”；而lend…to意为“向……借出”，两个词组正好为一组反义词组，当句子的主语变化时，两个词组可以进行互换。

9．利用反义词改写

用反义词或词组加上否定词表达与原句相同的意思，主要考查学生对反义词、词组的积累和换位思维的能力。如：

6. We call maths the language of science.

Maths _________ _________ the language of science.

[答案]is called。主语maths虽然是以s结尾，但并不是名词的复数，因此助动词仍用单数is。

5. Do they grow rice in autumn?

　rice　　　　　 in autumn?

[答案]Is; grown。不可数名词rice作主语, 助动词用单数is，一般疑问句的助动词置于句首。

4. We must keep the noise level under 50dbs(分贝).

The noise level must _________ _________ under 50dbs.

[答案]be kept。被动句中含情态动词must，因此助动词用be。

3. It is widely accepted that more people use computers in the world today.

Computers _________ widely _________ in the world today.

[答案]are; used。computers是复数名词作主语，助动词用are，且句子用被动语态。

2. Everyone should give back his library books on time.

Library books should　　　　 _________ _________ on time.

[答案]be given back。被动句中含有情态动词should，因此助动词用be。

1. People grow rice in the south of China.

Rice_________ _________ in the south of China.

[答案]is grown。rice作主语，助动词用一般现在时的单数形式is。
