6. 现在完成时
现在完成时由助动词have/has后面跟过去分词组成。

现在完成时的两种用法。

(a) —直继续到现在的动作和情况。

我们经常用简单的现在完成时来表示过去开始的动作和情
况，这个动作和情况一直延续到现在。

I have lived in Greece since 1976. We have known each other for a long time.
(b)已经完成的动作和事情现在完成时常常用来表示已经全部完结的，过去的动作和事情，只是在
过去的事情对现在仍有意思是才这么用。

时间副词或表示时间的词组连用。

如；ever, never; before; yet; already; all this year; all my life;
so far; during the 20th century; recently; lately; since; for 等等

As soon as 意为"一 .... 就... ”。

如：

I will call you as soon as I arrive in Beijing.
Please write to me as soon as you get to Shanghai.
You can see a lovely bag as soon as you open that box.
10. 过去进行时
过去进行时表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作或发生的事，或者表示过去某一阶段一直在进行的
动作。

1）过去进行时的基本结构是，was/were+ 现在分词，否定句是was/were not+ 现在分词，疑问句是was/were 调到主语前面。

如：
I was doing my homework at 9 yesterday evening.
My parents were watching TV at this time yesterday.
2）连词when , while 与过去进行时。

A. 当两个延续性动作同时进行时，可以在两个句子中都用过去进行时，并用“ while ”把它们连
接起来。

如：My mother was cooking while my father was reading newspapers. He was sleeping while we were playing cards.
B. 当延续性动作进行的过程中发生了短暂性动作，可以用“when ”或” while ”来连接这两
个动作，较长的动作用过去进行时表示，较短的动作用一般过去时表示，Whe n"和While ”都可以和延续性动词连用，但短暂性动词只能和When”连用。

如：
When mother came home, I was cleaning my bedroom. （我们不能用while 替换when, 因为come 是一个短暂性动词）
When Simon arrived, Millie was reading a book.
The phone rang while I was having my breakfast.
Hello Kitty waved to the visitors while she was dancing to the music.
11. H e is a thirteen-year-old boy who loves traveling. 他是一个喜欢旅游的十三岁的小
男孩。

a thirteen-year-old boy 的意思为“一个十三岁的男孩” 。

thirteen-year-old 是一个合成的形容
词，year不必用复数，并且这个词一般只能放在名词前面，而thirteen years old则是一个短语，一般放在be 动词后面，如：He is 13 years old.
从They have a six-month-old baby at home. ” 这句话中，我们可以知道“The baby is six months old. ”。

与此类似的结构： a two-thousand-word letter ； a ten-day journey
12. H ow often do you use your computer to search for information? 你多久一次用你
的电脑搜索信息？
意思是查找信息，search for 的宾语一般为查找的对象，而不是被查找的人或场所，而search 的宾语为被查找的人或场所。

如：The police searched the woods for the lost child.
13. A new educational CD-ROM called “Around the world in Eight Hours ”has just
come out. 一个新的叫做“八小时环游世界”的教育光盘刚刚发行了。

Come out 在句中的意思是“发行” ，此外，come out 还有很多不同的含义
如：* 出现：The stars came out as soon as it was dark.
* 传开：The news came out that the king was very ill.
* （照片）冲印：The photos I took didn 'tcome out.
* 结果是：The answer to the sum came out wrong.
14. You will play the role of Itchy Feet. 你将扮演“痒痒脚”的角色。

play the role:扮演.... 的角色
play 可以组成很多动词词组，如：
play cards：We often meet in the new park to play cards and Chinese chess.
play football: Do you like playing football?
play the piano: She is good at playing the piane.
play jokes on: On April Fool 'sDay, we play jokes on our friends and family members. play with fire It is very dangerous to play with fire, children!
15．被动语态
1）结构和含义：“ Be +过去分词”表示“被……”。

通常在被动结构后还可接“by +行为主体”，说明什么人或什么东西做了某事。

如：--- What is this jumper made of? --- It 'smade of wool.
--- 这件套头衫是什么料的？--- 它是用羊毛做成的。

I was asked to meet the head of that company. 我被叫去见见那家公司的领导。

Thousands of beaches are polluted. 几千处海滩被污染了。

The door was broken by the naughty boy. 门被那个调皮的男孩弄破了。

The door was broken by a stone. 门被一块石头打破了。

2）不使用被动语态的动词：系动词、happe n、take place、sell well、ha ng （挂）等。

如：This sweater feels soft. 这件毛衣感觉上去软软的。

When did the traffic accident happen? 这起交通事故是什么时候发生的？
I'm glad to hear that the cameras made in our factory are selling well now. 我高兴地听说
我们厂生产的照相机如今的销路很好。

Whose coat is hanging here? 谁的外套挂在了这儿？
3）有些词组使用到被动语态中会发生变化。

如，make somebody do something （使某人干某事），let somebody do something （让某人干某事），see somebody do something （看见某人干某事），hear somebody do something （听见某人干某事）等。

以上这些短语在被动语态中均必须把第二个动词由原形变为动词不定式形式。

如：The joke made me laugh. 改为被动形式是：I was made to laugh by the joke.
People often see him beat his son. 改为被动形式是：He is often seen to beat his son.
16. I spend about two hours a day doing my homework.
我一天花大约两个小时做回家作业。

spe nd…（in） doi ng someth ing意思是"花（时间、钱）干某事”，后面的动词必须使用动词的ing形式，介词in可省略。

另外，spend…on something意思是"在某事/某物上花（时间、
钱）”。

有时，两者可以替换使用。

如：My mother spends an hour （in） cooking supper every day.
My mother spends an hour on supper every day. 我妈妈每天花一小时烧晚饭。

How much will you spend （in） decorating your new house?
How much will you spend on your new house? 你要在装修新房上花多少钱？
另外，用于表达“花（时间）干某事”的，还有句型“ It takes somebody （一段时间）to do something.”; 用于表达“花（钱）干某事”的，还有句型“something costs somebody （钱）”
"it costs somebody （钱）to do something"或"pay （钱）for something ”。

如：It takes my mother an hour to cook supper every day.
How much will your new house cost you?
How much will it cost you to decorate your new house? I will pay much for my new house.
典例解析
1. I have already _____ the magazine for 2 weeks. I must return it to the library today.
A. lent
B. bought
C. borrowed
D. kept 解析：答案选D 。

这是一句现在完成时的句子，表示过去开始持续到现在的行为，for 表示一段时间，后接时间长度，本句的意思应为：这本杂志我已经借了两个星期了。

在这样的时间状语为“for+ 时间长度”
的句子里，谓语动词要有可持续性，而不能为短暂性动词，因此，本题只能选D。

因为“ lent”
bought” borrowed "均为短暂性动词，且“bought”, “lent”
与
句义不符。

故选D。

下面列出一些短暂性动词的持续性表达：
arrive---be in borrow---keep buy---have fall ill---be ill
join---be in leave---be away from begin---be on die---be dead 等等
2. ---Where are the children?
--- They ________ to Beijing.
A. have been
B. have gone
C. have left
D. have arrived
解析：答案选 B 。

本题首先可排除C， D 选项。

“离开此地去北京”为“ leave for Beijing ”, “到达北京”为
“ arrive in Beijing ”. 然后再看 A ， B 选项，“ have been to ” 意思是“去过某地” ，表示曾经去过某地，现在已经回来或到其他地方，目前人已不在那里。

have gone to "意思是“去了某地“，表示人正去那里或已在去那里的途中。

本题中，孩子们不在说话人所在的地方，所以应该选择B，表示他们已经去了北京或在去北京的途中。

故选B。

3. --- ______ has he taught English in this school?
---For 2 years.
A. How long
B. When
C. How soon
D. How often
解析：答案选 A 。

“How long ”问的是“一段时间” ，这句话的意思是，他在这所学校教英语多久了，回答为“两年了。

” ”How long ”可与现在完成时一起用。

”When”问的是一个时间点，可以和将来时，过去时连用，有时也可以和进行时放在一起用，但“When ”不能和完成时一起使用。

"How soon”意思是“多久以后”，用在将来时前面，而“ How often ”问的是一个频率，可解释为“多久一次” ，回答多为“ Once a week.”“Twice a month ”等等。

故选
A 。

4. ---Do you still write to your friends these days?
No. But I used ____ that when I was at school.
A. do
B. did
C. to doing
D. to do '
解析：答案选D。

本题设计到“used"的几个不同用法，"be used to doing sth.表示“习惯于做某事” ，used
to do sth. ”表示“过去常常做某事”，而be used to do sth."则表示“被用来做某事”
主语多为 sth. ”本题 Used”前面没有be 动词，再加上说的是过去我在学校里的事情， 所以采用 “used to do sth . ”这个词组， 整句话的意思就是， 当我在学校里的时候，我常常 那么做。

故选 D 。

5. She was very ____________ at the _________ news.
A. surprised; surprising
B. surprised; surprised
C. surprising; surprised
D. surprising; surprising
解析：答案选A 。

be surprised at sth.” 表示 "对 .... 感到惊奇”，主语是 Somebody ”，
Surprisi ng "表示"令人惊奇的”，主语多为
§omethi ng ”，句子的意思是，她对"这
个令人惊奇的消息感到很惊奇”。

与此想类似的词语还有一些，如““ exciting 另人激动的”， “excited 感到激动”，又如“ interesting 有趣的”，“interested 感兴趣的”等等。

故选 A 。

6. _____ he is only a five-year-old boy ， he knows a lot about Chinese history.
A. Although
B. Because
C. Since
D. But
解析：答案选A 。

Although ”意思是“尽管，虽然”，填入符合题意，虽然在中文里“虽然……但是……” 常成对使用，但在英语中，
“ although ”和 but ”不可同时使用，一句句子里，用了
although "就不用“ but ”，用了 but "就不用 although ”同理的还有
“because"和
§0”。

C 选项 since 有 “自从”的意思，也有“因为”的意思，本题中， B ， C ，
D 填入句子 都无逻辑关系。

故选 A 。

7. The girl sat in the corner _______ quietly _____ none of us noticed she was there. 解析：答案选 C 。

t'oo”可修饰形容词或副词， 而“o ”后面不能跟从句，只能 B 。

故选 C 。

8. _____ of them has arrived. So ____ has arrived on time.
A. Nobody; none
B. No one; nobody
C. None; no one
D. None; not any one 解析：答案选 C 。

nobody "和 no one"意思都是
“没有人”，符合题意，但 nobody "和 no one"都只能
直接做主语，后面不能跟限定范围的 of them ”，所以A , B 选项可以排除，
hone”的 意思是 “not a single one: 一个也没有 ”， 可以指人，也可以指物，后面可以加 “of
sb.”，
所以综合起来考虑， 本题应该选择 C ,需要指出的是， none of ……”后面的谓语动词
形式可以是单数形式也可以是复数形式。

故选 C 。

9. The old men must ________ p o l i te l y .
A. be spoken
B. be spoken to
C. spoke
D. speak to
解析：答案选 B 。

这是一句被动语态的句子，做这题之前先要弄清句子的含义，句子的意思不是老人对别 人说话要有礼貌，而应该是，对老人说话要有礼貌，句子用了被动语态，把“老人”这
A. such; that
B. too; to
C. so; that
D. very; that "so ...... that ....... ”的意思是“如此 以至于 ,“ so”修饰形容词或副词，而f hat ”
后面带一个从句。

A 选项中， Such "应该修饰名词，B 选项中,
too
to ..... ”表示
太……以至于不能
跟动词不定式，因此不能选择
个对象强调了一下，那么，我们就可以排除 C 和D ，在A 和B 中，到底要不要在 be
spoken ”后面加上 to "呢？答案是要的， 因为在主动语态中，
Speak to the old men ”才
是对老人讲话的意思，那么改成被动语态，这个
to ”当然是不能省的。

故选 B 。

10. It is impossible _____ such a little girl ____ it in such a short time.
A. to; to finish
B. of; finishing
C. for; to finish
D. with; finish 解析：答案选 C 。

本题的句型结构为： “It is + adj. +for somebody +to do something ”意思是“对某人来说， 做某事怎么样” ，需要指出的是，这个句型中的形容词多为 “impossible ”,
“important ”,
difficult ”，hard ”，necessary"等形容整件事情的词语，在 9A 中，我们还学到了一个句 型结构： It is +adj. +of somebody +to do something ”，在9A 的这个结构里，形容词修饰 的是
sb."的特性，常见的有
kind, nice, clever, creative, imaginative, smart, humorous "等
等，这两个不同的句型结构特别要引起注意。

故选 C 。
