appear/seem/lookappear, seem, look都有“看起来似……”之意，但其暗含意思和用法又各有不同。从意义上讲：(1)appear强调外表给人的印象，有时含实质上并非如此的意思，如：He appears to know more than he really does。他看起来好像懂得很多。（其实懂得没有那么多）(2)seem暗示有一定根据的判断，这种判断往往接近事实，如：His health seems to be better.他的健康状况似乎有所好转。(3)look着重由视觉得出的印象，如：He doesn’t look his age.他看起来比实际年龄年轻（或老成）。从用法上讲：seem和appear后可加(to + be)+表语(adj.或n.或prep.)+to v.It + ~ +(that)从句如：He seems/appears（to be）very sad today.=It seems that he is very sad today.It seems like years since I saw you last time.He seems a kind doctor.（=It seems that he is a kind doctor.）He seems/appears to have caught a cold.=It seems/appears that he has caught a cold.3、looklook当“看起来似乎…和as if从句。如：He looks strong. She looks like her mother. It looks as if we are going to miss the train.…”讲时，可接形容词、过去分词、名词、介词短语I still remember ______ this used to be a quiet village. ( NMET1993)A. when B. how C. where D. what 答案A。根据从句中缺少的句子成分是状语，排除D．what，而答案C, D均与题意不符，所以应选A．when。used to be表示一种过去存在的状态，本句的意思是“我仍然记得这里在什么时候是个宁静的地方。”I read about it in some book or other，does it matter ____ it was？（2001春季招生） A．where B．what C．how D．which 答案D。这是一个主语从句。主语从句中缺少表语。从上句的意思分析，应是哪本书，所以要填which，这句话的意思是“我在某本书中读到过有关这方面的内容，是哪一本书重要吗？”。
