练习 1
True or false? According to Philip, Icarus is driving faster than the legal limit.
True or false? According to Philip, Icarus is driving faster than the legal limit.
This is a true statement. Philip says that the "speed limit is 65 miles per hour, not, 97!" This means that Icarus is driving at 32 miles per hour OVER the legal speed limit (enough for a very big fine). A "speed limit" refers to the maximum speed which a vehicle can legally travel on certain roads.
This statement is not false.

1 fast: In this sentence, "fast" is used as an adverb and is synonymous with the other adverbs "quickly", "rapidly", and "swiftly", although the most common expression is to say that someone "drives fast" or "drives quickly".
1 quick: "Quick" is an adjective and not an adverb, so it is incorrect to say that someone "drives quick". The correct adverbial form is "quickly".
1 speed: "Speed" is a noun so it is grammatically incorrect to use it in this sentence, which requires an adverb. The adverb "speedily" is sometimes used as a synonym for "quickly" or "fast", for example: This problem needs to be dealt with speedily.
2 quick: As an adjective "quick" often describes an action which is instantaneous or of very brief duration, for example: We went for a quick walk (the walk did not last long). "Fast" on the other hand is generally descriptive and describes things that move at great speed for a period of time, for example: I took the fast train to London, which didn't stop at any stations.
2 fast: "Fast" is unnatural in this sentence, since it does not describe accurately the brief duration of time of the action (taking an overview of the office). "Fast" is generally descriptive and describes things that move at great speed for a period of time, for example: I took the fast train to London, which didn't stop at any stations.
2 speed: "Speed" is a noun so it is grammatically incorrect to use it in this sentence, which requires an adjective. The adjective "speedy" is sometimes used as a synonym for "quick" or "fast", for example: He's a very speedy worker.
3 quick: As an adjective "quick" often describes an action which is instantaneous or of very brief duration, for example: We went for a quick walk (the walk did not last long).

Appropriate alternatives are that someone is "hyper", "stressed", "busy", or that they "have a lot of energy".
4 speed: This is correct. "Speed" is the rate of motion, and is synonymous with the following nouns: "quickness", "rapidity", "rapidness" and "swiftness". To say that a car is traveling at a fast "speed", means that it is traveling "fast" or "quickly".
