[答案]1. weather 2. climate 3. weather 4. climate
[点拨]climate意为气候，指一个地区气候的总情况，如气温、降雨量等，有一定的规律可言，也可指具有这种气候的地方，是可数名词，因此在前面可加上不定冠词; weather意为天气，指特定一天或某个时节的天气的具体情况，如冷暖阴晴等，没有规律可言，是不可数名词。
二、discover; invent
1. Who ________ American in 1492?
2. It was Bell who________ the telephone.
3. Oil has been________ under the South Sea.
4. Edison_______the electric light lamp.
[答案]1.discovered 2.invented 3.discovered 4. invented
[点拨]discover意为“发现”，指发现原来客观存在但以前却不为人所知的事物，也可表示发现已为人知的事物的新性质或用途; invent意为“发明”，指经过认识和实践创造出前所未有的事物，往往是物质性的东西。

3. The May 4th Movement_________in Beijing in 1919.
4. I _________ to meet him in the street yesterday.
[答案]1.happened 2. take place 3. took place 4. happened
[点拨]这两个词都有“发生”的意思，但都不能用于被动语态。take place指事先布置或策划而后发生，没有“偶然”的意味;而happen主要表示事件“偶然”或“未能预见”意外地发生。另外，happen还有“碰巧”的意思。

[答案]1.However 2. while 3. however 4. however 5. but
6.While
[点拨]这三个词都表示上下文之间语气的转折，其中but语气强烈,译作“但是”。while和but是连词，用于连接并列分句，一般位于两个并列分句的中间;
however作“然而”、“可是”之意时，位置灵活，可位于句首，句中或句尾，而且必须用逗号与句子分开。另外，while还有“当……时”之意，可引导时间状语从句。

[点拨]space意为“空间”、“太空”，表示万物存在之处，与time为相对概念;
place意为“地方”，指某一具体地点; room作“空间”“空地”“空位置”之意时，是不可数名词，指可以容纳东西或为其他目的而使用的空间。另外，room作“房间”之意时，是可数名词。
