1、Section Grammar & Writing过去完成时一、过去完成时过去完成时由“had动词的过去分词”构成,主要有以下几种用法:1表示在过去某一时间或动作以前已经完成了的动作。这个过去的时间常用by,before等介词构成的短语或一个时间状语从句表示,也可以暗含在上下文中。Silk had become one of the primary goods traded along the Silk Road by about 100 BC.到大约公元前100年,丝绸已经成为丝绸之路上交易的主要商品之一。We had reached the railway station before 5
2、 oclock.我们在五点钟以前已经到达了火车站。When I woke up it had already stopped raining.我醒来的时候雨已经停了。2表示过去某一时刻之前发生的动作或持续的状态持续到过去某个时间或还要持续下去,常与for,since等构成的时间状语连用。He said he had made great progress since he came here.他说自从他来到这里,他已经取得了很大进步。By the time I left school,he had taught the class for 3 years.到我毕业时,他已经教那个班三年了。3在
3、一段情景连贯的文字中,先发生的事放在后面叙述时,要用过去完成时。Tom hurried home,but his father had already left for London.汤姆急匆匆赶回家,但是他爸爸已经动身去伦敦了。4intend,mean,hope,want,plan,suppose,expect,think等动词的过去完成时后接不定式的一般式,表示本来打算做而实际上未做的事。I had intended to attend your party last night,but I had an unexpected visitor.昨天晚上我本来打算去参加你的宴会,但是来了个不

6、的指引, 我们很容易就找到了。had given解析:根据问句Did you have difficulty finding Anns house?可知“找到安的家”这件事发生在过去, 而“给出(give)指引”应该是发生在“过去的过去”, 故应用过去完成时态, 所以答案为had given。I found the lecture hard to follow because it _(start)when I arrived.我发现这个报告很难懂,因为当我到的时候,它已经开始了。had started解析:根据句意可知这个报告是在“我”到达之前就开始了,而句中“我”到达使用了arrived,
7、而报告是在这之前发生的,所以使用过去完成时。When walking down the street, I came across David, whom I _(not see) for years.在街上散步时,我偶遇了大卫。我已经很多年没见过他了。hadnt seen解析:“我很多年没见过他”发生在 came across 之前,表示“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时。He was unhappy when he sold his guitar.After all,he _(have) it for a very long time.他把自己的吉他卖掉时并不高兴。毕竟,他拥有这把吉他已经很长
8、时间了。had had解析:由句意知,他“拥有吉他”的动作发生在“卖掉吉他”之前,而“卖掉吉他”发生在过去,因此空格处的动作发生在过去的过去,故用过去完成时态。二、难点突破过去完成时、一般过去时以及现在完成时的区别时态用法过去完成时过去完成时强调“过去的过去”,即表示在过去某一时间或某一动作之前完成的动作或存在的状态,是以过去某一时间为基准的一般过去时一般过去时以现在时间为基准,表示在过去发生的动作或存在的状态,对现在没有影响现在完成时现在完成时强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,或者从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在的动作He had worked on a farm for 10 year
9、s before he became the manager of the company.在成为公司经理之前,他在农场工作过10年。He once worked on a farm for 10 years,and now he is the manager of the company.他在农场工作过10年,现在是这家公司的经理。I havent seen her since she went abroad five years ago.自从5年前她出国以来我就没有见过她。I met her at the airport yesterday.I hadnt seen her for fiv
10、e years since she went abroad.我昨天在机场遇到她了。自从她出国以来我已经五年没见过她了。(1)表示过去某个时间以前所连续发生的两个或两个以上的动作时,一般用and,then,but按照动作的先后顺序连接,此时通常用一般过去时而不用过去完成时。He entered the room,turned on the light and sat down at the table.他走进屋子,打开灯,坐在桌子旁。He said he went to the shop and bought some food.他说他去商店买了一些食品。(2)当一个由before,after,
11、as soon as等连词引导的从句所表示的动作和主句的动作紧接着发生时,两个动作均可用一般过去时来表示。We had breakfast after we did morning exercises.做完早操后,我们吃早饭。The train started to move just before he reached the platform.他到月台时火车刚要走。They started ploughing as soon as they got to the fields.他们一到地里就开始耕地。 对接高考I _(read) half of the English novel, and
12、 Ill try to finish it at the weekend.这本英语小说我已经读了一半,这个周末我将尽力把它读完。have read解析:语境表示“已经读了一半”,应该用现在完成时表示过去发生并且对现在有影响的动作。Sofia looked around at all the faces: she had the impression that she _(see) most of the guests before.索菲娅环顾四周所有的脸庞,她对她之前见过大部分的客人有印象。had seen解析:根据句意可知她见过这么多的客人是在她拥有这个印象之前发生的事情,故看见这么多客人这
13、一动作应该使用过去完成时。I felt very tired when I got home,and I _(go) straight to bed.我到家时感觉很累,就直接去睡觉了。went解析:and连接并列分句,由and前的分句中的felt和got可知,后一分句用一般过去时。When I first met Bryan I didnt like him,but I _(change) my mind.当我第一次遇到布莱恩的时候,我不喜欢他,但是我(现在)改变了主意。have changed解析:转折连接词but后面的句子强调的是作者现在的看法,即改变了过去的看法,对现在的影响是“现在喜欢
14、布莱恩了”,因此用现在完成时have changed,指的是已经发生的动作对现在产生的影响或结果。 用所给动词的适当形式填空1When Linda _(come) to China in 2015,she found people didnt understand her at all though she _(learn) some Chinese in her own country.答案:came;had learned2By the time we got to the station,the train _(leave)答案:had left3No sooner had we _(g

51、sport, and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.Why should people care?Because we need animals.And because once they are
52、 gone, there will never be any more.Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food.Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers stores of corn and
53、 grain were destroyed by mice.Why?Because hawks eat mice.With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly.Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws prote
54、cting animals in danger.Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.【解题导语】本文是一篇关于动物保护的说明文。目前,世界范围内动物的数量正在不断下降,保护动物刻不容缓。保护动物不仅是为动物,也是为我们人类自己的生存考虑。幸运的是,现在有的国家已经开始行动,例如成立保护组织或制定法律等
55、对动物进行有效的保护。1What is the best title for the passage?ASave the AnimalsBUseful AnimalsCLaws for AnimalsDAnimals in DangerA解析:标题归纳题。文章提到动物面临的生存现状、保护动物的必要性以及目前一些国家对野生动物所采取的保护性措施等都体现了保护动物的主题,故文章标题应是“保护动物”。2Animals are important to us mainly because _Athey give us a source of foodBthey are beautiful and lo

57、段落可以看出,当鹰的数量因人类的捕杀而减少时,粮食受老鼠的毁坏会加重。没有鹰对老鼠的捕杀,老鼠的数量自然是增长很快,即“变得更多”。4We can infer from the passage that _Apeople have known the importance of animal protection since a long time agoBanimals play an important role in peoples lifeCthe number of hawks is on the decreaseDmany countries passed laws forbidd
58、ing the killing of any animalB解析:推理判断题。根据第一段和第四段的描述可知,此前人们对于动物的保护并不关注,当然也并未意识到保护动物的重要性,故可排除A项。通过对文章第四段的理解可知动物在人们的生活中起着重要作用,故B项正确。文中提到鹰的数量由于人类的捕杀而减少,但并非现在的情况,故可排除C项。D项中提到许多国家制定了法律来禁止对一切动物的捕杀,忽略了文中on the danger list这个说法,故该项是不对的。BDid you know there is a substance that can kill you even if you dont want
59、 it? Many adults and children die from it.Its called secondhand smoke.It comes from the smoke that is breathed out by a smoker, as well as the smoke that comes from the end of burning cigarettes.Its almost as lethal as smoking a cigarette.Secondhand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, and of those,

61、 someone lights a cigarette near you, you are being forced to breathe in all those chemicals.You can get a number of diseasesmany incurable(不能治愈的)from secondhand smoke, but it is especially dangerous for children.It is estimated that secondhand smoke is responsible for between 150,000 and 300,000 lo

63、to smokers and nonsmokersChow to give up smokingDsmoking should be banned in public placesB解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,整篇文章主要讲述了吸烟对吸烟者和被动吸烟者的危害。故选B项。6The underlined word “lethal” in Paragraph 1 means “_”AharmfulBexpensiveCusefulDcheapA解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段和第三段所描述的被动吸烟所造成的危害可知,被动吸烟者跟吸烟者本身所受到的危害同样大,所以选A项,表示同样有害。7Which o
