閲讀理解和寫作一直是英語考試中的難點，為了挺高英語閲讀能力和寫做能力，平時一定要多積累單詞和短語，為了幫助大家，小編分享了一些常用短語，希望能幫到大家!

2. on fire on fire / catch fire

都是“着火”的意思，不過catch fire強調動作，on fire強調狀態，如：Look! The house is on fire.

3. look out Look out!

(當心、小心)，比Take care! 或Be careful! 語氣要強，往往用於某種緊急情況或可能出現危險的場合。Look out! There’s danger in the forest. 後還可接for短語：Look out for the rock in the water. 當心水裏的石頭。

4. put out

滅火 They tried their best to put out the fire. 常用被動語態：The forest fire was put out soon. 森林大火很快就被撲滅了。注：be out熄滅：The forest fire was out at last.

7. in that case

如果那樣 It may rain tomorrow. In that case, you'd better try another day. 明天可能下雨。那你最好改天在試。In that case, you wouldn't have a pan on fire. You'd have a house on fire! 如果是那樣的話，那你就不是使一個油鍋着火，而會使一座房子失火了!對比：in case 以防(萬一)，如：Take your raincoat in case it rains. 攜帶雨衣，以防下雨。

8. belong to

屬於(無被動語態)。These books belong to the school library. 這些書是校圖書館的。Who does this belong to? 這是誰的?He doesn’t feel he belongs here. 他覺得自己是外人。

9. close to close

在這兒是形容詞，意思是靠近，to是一個介詞，後面要加名詞，即：close to+賓語。如：There is a bank close to our school.我校附近有家銀行。There were so many people in the street watching the fire that firefighters could not get close to the building. 街道上圍觀大火的人太多了，消防人員無法接近大樓。

13. year by year
