知识要点
1.【区别】How long和when
（1）how long意思是“多久，多长”， 这个疑问词组是询问某个动作或状态持续了多久，在这种情况下，与之连用的动词应该是延续性动词，回答一般用for＋表示时间段的词组。
（2）when意思是“什么时候，何时”，引导的是特殊疑问句, when可指比较泛的时间, 也可指比较具体的时刻。
典型例题：
① — did he stay here? —For two days.。
② — are you coming to see me? —Tomorrow.
解析：①中答语是段时间，故问句应该用how long. 由于②中的答语是tomorrow,所以用when提问。
2. 在表示时间的名词前介词的用法：
① 在年、月、季节和泛指的一天中的上午、下午、傍晚前用 “ in ” .
如：in 1990; in summer; in the morning; in the afternoon; in the evening
② 在特指的某天或某天的上午、下午、晚上前用“ on ” . 如： on a cold morning; on Sunday; on Saturday afternoon; on November 12th
③ 在具体的时刻前用“ at ” . 如：at half past ten; at 2 o'clock
典型例题：
① Your uncle is leaving for Ji’nan Sunday morning.A. in B. on C. for D. at
② He learned English four years.A. in B. on C. for D. at
解析：①的Sunday morning是具体的一天早晨，所以用介词on. 选B. ②中的four years是段时间，因此要用介词for. 选C.

The following plan may reveal the intensity of my desire to travel, work and study in this vacation. In the first few days I want to climb Mount Hua Shan with several friends to refresh ourselves.

知识要点
1. go+doing的用法这是一个固定句型，表示“去做……”。　
He's going camping with his parents．他要与父母一起去野营。
此类结构除go shopping 去买东西 等少数用法外，大多与体育或娱乐有关。例如：
go swimming 去游泳　 　go boating去划船　 　 go bike riding 骑自行车旅行　
go dancing 去跳舞　 　 go fishing 去钓鱼　　　 go sightseeing 去观光　
go skating去滑冰　　　 go hunting去打猎　 　　go skiing去滑雪　
go climbing去爬山　 　 go walking去散步　　 go camping去野营　　
go hiking徒步旅行
典型例题：She is with her mother this afternoon.
A. going to shop B. go to shop C. going shopping D. go shopping
解析：按语法讲go to shop好像也对，同学们往往也会选A，其实这里涉及到词的习惯用法问题，go shopping是一个固定的短语，意思是：去购物。故答案选C。
2. something某物，某事
something, anything, nothing等是不定指代词，当形容词修饰不定指代词时，
形容词应置于其后，汉语翻译时通常前置。如：something different 不同的事情
Do you have anything important to tell me? 你有什么重要的事情要告诉我吗？
He heard something interesting o
