  本课主要单词

  1.non-verbal adj.   wordless, without involving the use of language (非词语的,非语言的)

  我们以前也学习过-al做形容词后缀,如:brutal 的),mortal (致命的),racial (种族的),social (社会的)等等

  1) He nodded his approval when we informed him of our plan. (当我们把计划告诉他时,他点头表示同意。)

  3) This city is often referred to as a cultural desert. (这个城市常被称为文化沙漠。)

  4) Father was angry because Tom fiddled away the whole day. (父亲很生气,因为汤姆浪费了整整一天的时间。)

  13. wriggle v. / n. 蠕动,扭动,蜿蜒

  英语中以wr开首的单词,w通常不发音,如write (写),wrap (包扎),wrestle (摔跤),wretched (痛苦的),wring (拧),wrinkle (皱纹),wrong (错误的)

  1) The child wriggled out of his mother's arms. (那孩子扭动着挣脱了母亲的怀抱。)

  4) He confessed to being a drug addict. (他承认自己有毒瘾。)

  5) The student refused to confess to having cheated on the exam. (那个学生拒绝承认考试作弊。)

  从以上的例句中我们可以看出confess可以作及物动词用,也可作不及物动词用。作及物动词用时,confess的后面可以接名词、动名词和宾语从句等。作不及物动词用时,confess的后面要接介词to,其用法同于admit to sth/doing sth
