暑假過后，新初三生們迎來了初中最重要的一年——初三。為方便2013年中考考生及家長查詢相關信息，出國留學網中考頻道特別搜集匯總了中考英語知識點以供參考：
§56 at last/ finally/ in the end
Ⅰ. at last “最后”表經過一定曲折之后某事才發(fā)生，強調努力的結果，帶有較強的感情色彩。須用一般過去時。如：
Did the man in the shop understand him at last?
Ⅱ. finally 表動作的發(fā)生順序是在“最后”， 無感情色彩，只用于過去時。它居句首時較多。
① Finally he went to see the famous man himself.
Ⅲ. in the end 表事物發(fā)展的自然順序的“終結”，有時可與finally相互替換。但用于將來的預測時，則只能用in the end 如：
① I hope that everything will turn out all right in the end.
§57 at school/ in school/ in a (the) school
Ⅰ. at school表示“在學校、在上學”相對于在家里或在校外。如：
① My son is at school now. He is not at home or somewhere else. 我兒子現在在學校，他不在家，也不在別的地方。
② When my brother was at school, he studied very hard. 在學校時，我兄弟學習很用功。
Ⅱ. in school “在求學、在上學”相對于有工作。如：
My daughter still in school She doesn’t work.。 我女兒還在上學，她不在工作。
[注]：①和②用at school 強調所在場所或時間。③中的in school 則強調主語的身份是學生。因此，in school. 和 at school的著重點不一樣，通常不互換使用。
Ⅲ. In a / the school “在學?！?，不一定指上學。類似的還有：
in hospital “生病住院”
in a / the hospital表“在醫(yī)院”(工作或探視病人等)
at table “在吃飯”
at a / the table “在桌邊”(有可能在聊天或看報)
① Is your friend in school? 你的朋友在上學嗎?
① Your friend looked for you in the school just now. 剛才你的朋友在學校里找你。
② children are often in hospital when they are young. 孩子們小的時候經常生病住院。
③ She is a good doctor in the hospital .她是醫(yī)院里的一名好大夫。
§58 at the beginning/ at the beginning of/ in the beginning
Ⅰ. at the beginning 和 in the beginning都可表“起初、開始、原先”之意。兩者間沒有明顯的區(qū)別，通?？苫Q。如：
① You’ll find it difficult to learn Russian at the beginning. 起初，你會覺得俄語很難。
② In the beginning I didn’t know this.開始我不知道這事。
Ⅱ. 若表當今世界的開頭，則必須用in the beginning eg:
In the beginning there were no men nor animals nor plants. 在盤古開天辟地時，既沒有人，也沒有 動植物。
Ⅲ. at the beginning of “在……之初”， 其后通常 接表時間，事件或其它意義的名詞，其反義詞組為at the end of. 如：
① At the beginning of 1975 he came back to China. 1975年初，他回到了中國。。
② This adverb can also be placed at the beginning of the sentence.這副詞也可以放在句子的開頭。
§59 at the top of/ on the top of
Ⅰ. at the top of “在……頂點上、在……上”。At 表示點，在句子中用作狀語，反義短語常為 at the bottom of “在……底部”;
on (the) top of 中的on 表示部位上的接觸，意思是“在……之上、在……上面”。反義短語常為at the foot of “在……腳底下”。如：
① He shouted at the top of his voice. 他高聲地叫喊。
② He is at the top of the class.他居全班之首位。
③ Will you please put this box on (the) top of the books.請你這個盒子放在那些書的上面好嗎?
§60 at/ beside/ by/ near
Ⅰ. at “靠近”往往動作聯系，意味著有目的、有意識的靠近，而by, beside, near只意味著就“靠近”而言。如：
① He sat at the desk. He wanted to read, 他坐到桌邊，想看書。
Ⅱ. beside “在……旁邊”;by = just at the side of “就在旁邊”。兩者一般可通用。但by 比beside語勢較強些，并多用于日常用語中。如：
① There is a hospital beside / by the river. 河邊有一家醫(yī)院。
[注]：指“在某人身邊”時，常多用beside. Eg:
① The little boy is standing beside his mother.
Ⅲ. near “在……附近”或“離……不遠”，它表示的距離要比by / beside 來得遠些。如：
① We live near the sea.我們住在海邊。(表離海邊有些距離)
② We live by / beside the sea.我們就住在海邊。(表海就在身邊)。
