宾语:I bought myself a new car./我为自己买了一辆新车
用于强调:I myself was certain of the facts./我自己对事实确信无疑
主语补语:I'm feeling myself again./我又恢复了健康

代词的考察在职称英语中主要是 “在阅读题中要求考生判断文章中代词所指代的内容”和“完型填空题中要求考生借助上下文判断空格处应该出现什么代词”这两种形式。
而对指示代词this, that, these, those的考察也在阅读中时有出现,如:综合类阅读理解练习题“The Gene1 Industry”一文中第4道“西特勒试图作什么”的答案需要借助原文:“Should we attempt to eliminate "inferior" people and breed a "super-race"? (Hitler tried this, but without the genetic2 weaponry that may soon issue from our laboratories.)”。 “this”指代特性是正确解答该题的关键——this作代词时往往指代前一句中的整句内容(we attempt to eliminate "inferior" people and breed a "super-race)。
eliminate 除去,消灭
inferior (质量等)低劣的,次的(e.g. Woman is inferior to man in running. 妇女跑不过男子;e.g. inferior goods 低档货)
其他必须掌握的代词:
Other: “另外一个;〔pl.〕别的东西,别的人”

e.g. know/tell one from the other 把二者分别清楚 (考点)
e.g. one after the other 一个接一个地(考点)

same: “同一事[物];〔古语〕同一人〔常可不用 the〕”
e.g. We like the same(book)./我们喜欢同样的东西。
So: “这样”〔用作 say, call, speak, tell, think, hope, expect, suppose, imagine, fear, hear, do 等动词的宾词〕。 (考点)
e.g. I think so. 我想是这样。 e.g. I suppose so.=So I suppose. 我想大概是那样。
Such: “这样的人[物]〔通常指复数〕”
e.g. I dislike such. 我不欢喜那种东西。
英语小知识:怎样开始谈话?
在跟外国人见面的时候首先和他们谈论天气,比如, 北京最近天气十分寒冷, 所以在见面的时候可以说:
It is very cold, isn’t it?
Terrible weather, isn’t it?
而对方的回答通常是表示赞同, 如:可以简单的说:
Yes, it is.
或者:Yes, I feel freezing cold.
或者:Yes, I wish such weather would be over soon.
