附:高考必背英语词汇讲座 B
1、base与basis
这两个词在作名词时可表示"基础；基地"，但其意义是不同的。base用来指某物体的具体"基础"或底部的"支柱"。
例如：
We camped at the base of the mountain.我们在山脚下扎营。
Our company's base is in New York , but we have extended many branches all around the world.我们公司的总部设在纽约，但是分公司遍及全世界。
而basis则用来表示抽象意义上的"基础"，常用于比喻句。
What's the basis of your opinion?你的意见的根据是什么？
We are willing to develop economic relations with all countries on the basis of mutual benefits.我们愿意在互利互惠的原则下同各国发展经济关系。
2、be about to
这个短语与"be to do","be going to do"两个短语都可用来表示"将要做某事，但含义和用法有所不同。be about to 从时间上来讲，等于be just going to do，意思是"即将，马上就要去做"。因此，在由这个短语构成的句子中，一般不可再加上表示时间的状语（如at once, next）
例如：
I am about to leave for Shanghai.我将要去上海。
be to do主要表示安排或计划要在将来做的事情，它还可以表示命令等语气，相当于should, must 等。它可以同将来的时间状语连用。
例如：
The US President Bill Clinton is to visit Japan next week.美国总统比尔?克林顿将于下周访日。
The letter is to be handed to him in person.这封信必须面交他本人。
be going to do 一般可以和be to do 换用，它在通常情况下表示计划，安排或准备去做某事的意向，但并不一定马上去做。它一般都与时间状语连用；此外，它还可以用来表示某种推断或可能性。
例如：What are you going to do for your holiday?假期有什么打算吗？
It's going to rain soon, look at those black clouds.看那些乌云，快要下雨了。
