突破1个高考句型
(教材P2)A Londoner has more difficulty understanding a Scotsman from Glasgow than understanding a New Yorker.
伦敦人要听懂来自格拉斯哥的苏格兰人说话比听懂纽约人说话更难。 句中have difficulty (in) doing sth.意为“做某事有困难”，其中difficulty 为不可数名词，difficulty前可用some，any，no，little等词来修饰。
表示“做某事 (没) 有困难”的常见结构： have (no) difficulty/trouble with sth. have (no) trouble/problems (in) doing sth. There is difficulty/trouble (in) doing sth./with sth. ①—Did you have difficulty finding Ann's house？(2015年北京高考)你找到安的家有困难吗？

③For me, there is no difficulty/trouble finishing (finish)the task in two days.对于我来说，在两天之内完成这项任务是毫无困难的。
[名师点津] 在语法填空中，常将have difficulty doing sth.句式中的difficulty提前作先行词，因此定语从句中have后常为 doing形式。试比较：
You can't imagine the difficulty/trouble we had getting in touch with him.(√) You can't imagine the difficulty/trouble we had got in touch with him.(×)
