1.keep是一个小词,也是备考的核心词之一.它的诸多含义可以分成两类,一是系动词,二是行为动词.作为状态系动词,其后跟形容词,副词,名词和介短作表语,这是考生们所熟悉的.如
keepfit(形容词)
keep away fromsb(副词)
I think we shall keepfriends.(名词)
keep in touchwith(介短)
作为行为动词,它的含义就比较多了,但我们应该记它的本义,即"保持,保留,保存",因此而引申为"经营管理,照顾养活,遵守维护,饲养,庆祝和使继续处于某种状态"等.在这诸多的引申义中,我们又要重点掌握它的最后一个含义即"使处于某状态",此时其后跟形容词,副词,名词,介短,分词作补足语：
keep your eyesopen(形容词)
I'm sorryto keep you up solate.(副词)
That kepther a student.(名词)
Keep yournose out of my affairs.(副词)
the fireburning(现分) keep youreyesshut(过分)
