2. be tired of ______________
be tired from/with _______________

I am tired from running as fast as I can.
3. go abroad _______________ 4. in a positive way ______________5. other than除了
Other than, except, apart from, besides, but 辨析：
1）except和besides都可作“除……之外” 但含義不同。
except “從所提到的人或物中除去，即從整體中除去一部分”，表示遞減，含義是否定的
besides “除了…之外，還有…”，指“在整體中加入一部分”，表示遞加的概念，含義是肯定的。
①We all went except him. 除他之外，我們都去了。(他沒有去)
②We all went besides him. 除他之外，我們大家也都去了。(他也去了)
(1)besides常與other／more／else等詞連用 ，except常與all／every／everyone／none／nobody／everything／nothing等總括詞連用。
eg. He had other people to take care of besides me.
All the students in Class One went to the cinema except Li Ping.
(2)若句中沒有實義動詞do的某種形式，except后接不定式，而besides后接動詞的-ing形式。
eg. I had no choice except to obey／besides obeying his order.
(3)若句中有實義動詞do的某種形式，二者后面都可以接動詞原形。
eg. She has nothing to do except／besides go with him.
(4)二者后面都可以接從句。
eg. ①Besides that he explained the theory he gave us some examples.
②He is a good student except that he sometimes comes late to school.
(5)except后面可接for(構成短語except for)或其他介詞短語，而besides不能。
except for主要有三層含義：
①表示對整體主要部分的肯定和對局部的否定，起部分修正主要意思的作用。
eg.Your composition is quite excellent except for several spelling mistakes.
②表示非同類事物進行比較。 eg. The street is empty except for several cars.
③置于句首，表達except的含義。eg. Except for this, everything is in order.
except for后接名(代)詞，可以轉移為except＋從句或其他介詞短語。
eg. The climate here is good except for some rainy days.(except when it rains；except that it sometimes rains；except on the rainy days)
2). apart from兼有besides和except for兩種含義，后接名詞、代詞或動名詞。
3). but含義與except相同，都表示遞減的概念，二者在多數情況下可以互換，但稍有區別。
①except可以代替but，但but并不一定都可以代替except，如果句中有no、all、nobody、who、where等不定代詞或疑問詞時，多用but；后跟賓語從句時，多用except。
②but for含義有時與except for相同，但主要表示“要不是…”，常用于虛擬句，表示假設。
③but位置的變化會引起人稱代詞主、賓格的變化。
No one but I (＝except me) knows it. No one knows it but me (＝except me).
4) other than含義與except／but相同，表示從總體中除去一部分，后接名詞、代詞或不定式。
eg. In that case there is nothing you can do other than wait. (2001年上海春季高考題)
7. Therefore, these places gradually come to have more and more similarities with the industrialized, urban areas. (P22)因此，這些地方逐漸和那些工業化的市區有了相似處。
