完形填空和单选最爱考动词短语：同一个 look，接上不同小品词意思全变。短语不用死背零散例句，按动词家族分组记，一个动词带一串含义，效率翻倍。
look、give、put 家族
| 短语 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| look up | 查阅（词典） | Look up the word in the dictionary. |
| look after | 照顾 | Could you look after my cat this weekend? |
| look for | 寻找（过程） | I am looking for my keys. |
| look forward to | 期待（to 后接 doing） | I look forward to seeing you. |
| give up | 放弃 | He gave up smoking last year. |
| put on / put off | 穿上 / 推迟 | Put on your coat. The meeting was put off. |
turn、take、get 家族
| 短语 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| turn on / turn off | 打开 / 关掉（电器） | Turn on the light, please. |
| turn up / turn down | 调大、出现 / 调小、拒绝 | He turned down my invitation. |
| take off | 脱下；（飞机）起飞 | The plane took off on time. |
| take out | 取出 | He took out a pen from his bag. |
| get up / get on / get off | 起床 / 上车 / 下车 | Get off at the next stop. |
| pick up | 捡起；（顺便）接人 | I will pick you up at seven. |
辨析主线：look for 强调找的过程，find 强调找到的结果；hear 听见，listen to 注意听；put on 穿的动作，wear 穿的状态。动词短语题一半在考这种过程与结果的对立。
易错点：代词作宾语必须放短语中间
动词短语接名词时，名词可以放中间或后面：pick up the book = pick the book up；但接代词时只能放中间——pick it up 正确，pick up it 错误。判断方法：宾语是 it、them 这类代词，无脑放中间。选择题先看宾语是什么词性：是代词就直接找代词在中间的选项，一步锁定答案。
