词汇理解
before long, long before
before long表示“不久”，相当于soon，是一个介词短语，可用在过去时、将来时和现在时的句子中。
long before表示“很久以前”“在……以前很久”，可用于过去时或过去完成时的句子中。before 可以是副词、介词、连词。要注意“It is not long before+从句”结构中的not long before表示“不久……”。
She said she had seen the film long before. 她说她很久以前就看过这部电影。
I'll see the film before long 我不久就要看这部电影。
fast, quick, rapid
这三个词都可作“快”解。
fast多指运动着的人或物体，本身具有高速度的特点。
quick一般用于指迅速的、一瞬间的或短暂的动作与反应，侧重“匆忙”的含义，不强调速度。
rapid常与fast相互换用，但侧重动作本身，有急促的含义，它所指的动作可能是一个或一连串的。rapid还用来指水流急速。
The winning car reached a speed of forty miles——much faster than any of its rivals.
获胜的那辆车的时速达到40英里——比它的任何竞争者要快得多。
…they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. 他们迅速地把醉汉拖到安全处。
It is a rapid river. 那是一条湍急的河流。
catch a cold ,have a cold
这两个动词短语均可作“感冒”解，但具体运用时是有区别的。
l)catch a cold强调“感冒”的行为，have a cold表示“感冒”持续的状态。
Yesterday he caught a cold. 昨天他患了感冒。
He has a bad cold now. 他现在感冒了。
2)catch a cold不可与表示一段时间的状语连用，而have a cold of可以。
3)catch a cold中的a可以省略，但cold前有形容词修饰时则不能省略；have a cold中的a不能省，在口语中它等于have got a cold.
Put on more clothes or you'll catch (a) cold. 多穿点衣服，要不然会感冒的。
She has had a cold for two weeks. 她感冒两周了。
keep on doing ,keep doing
l) keep on doing相当于go on doing, 指动作、行为有间歇之后继续进行，也指长期坚持某事。
After a rest, she kept on working. 休息之后，她继续工作。
He kept on asking the same question. 她老是问着同一个问题。
2) keep doing指动作不间断地继续着。如：
It kept raining the whole night. 雨不停地下了一整夜。
3)keep on doing 与 keep doing 二者可以换用；一般都不接表示静止状态的词，如
standing; sitting, lying, sleeping等。如：
Why do they keep (on) laughing all the time? 他们为什么老是笑个不停?
I've learned about 1,000 words, but I keep (on) forgetting some of them. 我大约学了1000个单词，可有些单词老是记不住。
advice，advise
均可表示“建议、劝告”之意 ，其区别是：
l)advice为不可数名词，无复数形式，不能与定冠词连用。请记住下列结构：
a piece of advice 一条建议 &
