population意为“人口”时，是一个集体名词，被看作一个整体，在句中做主语时，后面的谓语动词用单数形式。例如：
The population ofChinais large.
(1) 当表示一个城市、地区或国家有多少人口时，常用以下两种结构，即“the population of + 某地 + is + 数词”或“某地 + has a population of + 数词”。例如：
The population of London is over ten million. =
London has a population of over ten million.
(2) population可与large，small搭配，但不能与many，few搭配。例如：
The city with its large population has become crowded.
(3) 询问人口数量常用what或how large。例如：
What’s the population of the city? =
How large is the population of the city?
(4) population前有修饰词，如分数、百分数时，表示整体人口中的一部分，谓语动词用复数形式。例如：
One half of the population of the city are farmers.
protect作及物动词，意为“保护”。常用搭配protect sb./sth. from/against…，意为“保护某人/某物免受……伤害”。例如：

Parents protect their young from danger.
The price for the hotel includes breakfast.
The parcel included a dictionary.
including除了是include的现在分词/动名词之外，在日常运用中一般被当作介词使用，和其后的名词/代词一起形成介宾短语，意思是“包括……在内”。例如：
There are many different kinds of moon cakes, including fruit, coffee and ham.
There are 40 students in the classroom, including me.
同样，included也有介词用法，且：including + 宾语 = 宾语 + included。
所以上个例句亦可写成：There are 40 students in the classroom, me included.
succeed作不及物动词，意为“成功”；表示做某事做成功了，succeed 后通常接in doing sth。例如：
His plan succeeded.他的计划成功了。
At last he succeeded in solving the problem.

(1)success 表示抽象意义的“成功”，作不可数名词；表示具体意义的“成功的人或事”, 则是可数名词。例如：
Failure is the mother of success.
His new book was a great success.
(2)successful作形容词，意为“成功的”。例如：
The performance was successful. 演出很成功。
It was a successful experiment.
(1)achieve作及物动词，意为“完成；实现”。例如：
You will never achieve anything if you spend your time that way.
Everybody should be given the chance to achieve their aims.
No one can achieve anything without effort.
(2)achieve作及物动词，意为“达到；赢得”。例如：
The actor achieved fame when he was only nineteen.
She achieved no success. 她没有获得成功。
achievement作名词，意为“成就；成绩”。例如：
The invention of the computer is a great achievement.
(1)force作名词，意为“力；力量；武力”。例如：
The force of the explosion broke all the windows in the building.
The law should remain in force.
We’ll settle the problem by force if necessary.
(2)force作动词，意为“强迫”。force sb. to do sth.意为“强迫某人做某事”。例如：

weigh表示“称……的重量”，是及物动词；表示“重(多少)”，是不及物动词。
He weighed the fish. 他称了这条鱼。
Do you often weigh yourself? 你经常称体重吗?
He weighs 60 kilos. 他体重60公斤。
The meat weighs five pounds. 这肉重五磅。

（standing by the window就是一短语，也就是说不是一个单词，在此作定语表主动）

区别：现在分词作定语表示动作正在发生或与谓语动作同时（或基本同时）发生，表示主动意义；及物动词的过去分词作定语表完成或被动的动作；不及物动词的过去分词作定语只表完成不表被动的动作。例如：
They lived in the house facing the south.
他们住在朝南的房子里。(现在分词作定语表示主动意义)
The meeting held yesterday is important.
昨天开的会议很重要。（及物动词的过去分词表被动或完成）
(2)分词短语作定语相当于一个定语从句，修饰前面的名词。例如：
The man reading a novel at the desk is my father.（现在分词表“主动、正在”）
= The man who is reading a novel at the desk is my father.

5. One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing…
one of +the +形容词最高级+复数名词/代词，意为“最……之一”，当其作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。例如：
