2018-2019学年高中英语(译林牛津版)必修二教案 Unit3 Amazing people-grammar and usage
● Grammar and UsageHere we will learn to recognize situations where the past perfect tense is used and the time expressions used together with the tense. We will also see how the tense is formed. You will read two stories and complete them using the correct verb forms. Pay attention to the differences between the past perfect tense and the simple past tense.Step 1: Past perfect tensePast perfect tense is used to indicate that one action occurred before another action in the past. In other words, past perfect tense indicates the first of the two actions.Form of Past Perfect[had] + [past participle]Examples:I had studied a little English when I came to the U.S.They had never met an American until they met John.The use of the past perfect tense simply indicates that an action comes before anotherpast action.happen beforeI had done my homework thismorning before I went to themuseum.used with time expressions suchas when, after, before, as soon as,until, by, for and alreadyCarter opened KingTutankhamun ’stomb Then a few months after Carter had openedthe tomb, Lord Carnarvon fell ill with a feverand died.Lord Carnarvon diedPast PresentNote : When you are using a verb tense with more than one part such as Past Perfect (had met), adverbs often come between the first part and the second part (had never met).USE 1Completed Action Before Something in Past The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.Examples:I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.Had you ever visited the U.S. before your trip in 1992?Yes, I had been to the U.S. once before in 1988.USE 2Duration Before Something in the Past(Non-continuous Verbs)With Non-progressive Verbs and some non-progressive uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past. Examples:We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over eight years.IMPORTANT Specific Times with the Past PerfectUnlike the Present Perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the Past Perfect. Although this is possible, it is usually not necessary.EXAMPLE:She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.If the Past Perfect action did occur at a specific time, the Simple Past can be used instead of the Past Perfect when before or after is used in the sentence. The words before and after actually tell you what happens first so the Past Perfect is optional. Both sentences below are correct.EXAMPLE:She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.She visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996. HOWEVERIf the Past Perfect action did not happen at a specific time, Past Perfect MUST be used at all times. Compare the two sentences below.EXAMPLE:She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. CorrectShe never saw a bear before she moved to Alaska. Not CorrectACTIVE / PASSIVE FORMS of Past PerfectEXAMPLESGeorge had repaired many cars before he received his mechanics license. ACTIVEMany cars had been repaired by George before he received his mechanics license. PASSIVEStep 2: Practice1. Read Point 1 on page 48 to see which action happens first in the sentence given. Note that the past perfect tense is often used with the simple past tense. If one action happens before another in the past, the past perfect tense is used. So these two tenses are often used together.Look at the diagram in Point 1 first, and then read the example sentence. Note how the past perfect tense is used with the simple past tense.2. Read the following two sentences to see how the predicate is changed when the sentence is turned from the direct speech into the indirect speech.Toby said, “I will/shall not be in London next week.”Toby said that he would not be in London the next week.Next let’s look at another two sentences:Toby said, “I went to Africa a month ago.”Toby said that he had gone to Africa a month before.So you see if a sentence which uses the simple past tense in the direct speech is changed into the indirect speech, it will use the past perfect tense. Now go over Point 2 on page 48.3. Go over Point 3 to see in what situation the past perfect tense can be used.4. Please talk about what time expressions can be used with the past perfect tense and how the tense is formed. Then we’ll go over Points 4 and 5 on page 48.Step 3:Present perfect or past perfect?We’ve learned both the present perfect tense and the past perfect tense, but do you know when to use the present perfect and when the past perfect.1. Please go over the guidelines and the example sentences on page 51 and identify the differences between the present perfect tense and the past perfect tense.Look at the examples:Howard Carter is one of the most famous explorers the world has ever known.Not long after the tomb had been opened, people in Carter’s team began to fal l ill and die strangely.Now from the following diagrams you can see the different times of each example sentence given.Howard Carter became famousFuturePresentPastThe tomb had People began to fallbeen opened. ill and die strangely.2. Please read the following two sentences and identify the differences between them:Toby said, “I have stayed in Africa for more than a month.”Toby said that he had stayed in Africa for more than a month.Note that when we change a sentence from the direct speech into the indirect speech like this, the tense will be changed from the present perfect tense to the past perfect tense.Step 4: Consolidation1. Go over the notes about Amelia Earhart on Page 49 to see who she was and what happened to her2.Look at the four pictures with sentences in the direct speech. Then complete the article using the4.

Today, F abien continues to protect the planet’s endangered ocean life and tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.Fabien is well known for his study of sharks.

Then during2003~2006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a lifelike shark submarine(潜艇), providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures.For the next four years(2006~2010), Fabien was part of a series called “Ocean Adventures”, which provided viewers with a chance to look into some of the most fantastic ocean species(物种) and environments on the planet.In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help rebuild local water ecosystems through the healthy “replanting” of key ocean species. Its final goal is to plant 1 billion “fish” worldwide in 10 years.In June 2014, Fabien and his team embarked on Mission 31, the longest underwater science research, the world’s only underwater laboratory located nine miles off the coast of the Florida Keys, and 63 feet beneath the sea. Fabien’s Mission 31 broke new ground in ocean exploration, while broadcasting each moment live exposing the world to the adventure and mystique of what lies beneath.Fabien is currently working on a feature documentary film about the adventures of Mission 31, as well as building all Ocean Learning Center to afford children around the world the opportunity to learn about oceans and connect with ocean explorers directly through social media.21.For what purpose did Fabien explore the sea and created documentary films?A. To make himself a world-famous filmmaker.B. To show off his great determination and bravery.C. To afford children the opportunity to learn about climate.D.

He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, “I will start my life over again. I will become a writer.”This man is the world famous writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born on March 6, 1928. During his early life, Garcia Marquez’s grandmother and grandfather told him many stories. His grandmother would tell him legends as if they were real. Garcia Marquez says that his grandmother’s way of storytelling later inf luenced his own methods.When Garcia Marquez was about 20 years old, he left Aracataca and attended university in Bogota. He began studying law because this was what his father wanted him to study. However, Garcia Marquez was not happy.During this time Garcia Marquez returned to Aracataca. It was on this visit that he realized he must stop studying law. And he recognized that he must return to the dream of his childhood—writing. For the next few years, Garcia Marquez wrote for many different newspapers. And in 1955, he published his first book called Leaf Storm.For many years, Garcia Marquez knew he wanted to write about hisgrandfather’s house in Aracataca. To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, One Hundred Years of Solitude was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez’s future success.In 1982, Gabriel Garcia Marquez was given the Nobel Prize in Literature for his book One Hundred Years of Solitude, making him the first Colombian and the fourth Latin American to win a Nobel Prize in Literature.24.

It provides training chances for young people aged 14 to 16 with the help of the local government, particularly those struggling in mainstream education or rejected from school.“It’s about engaging young people with education and youth training by teaching them work and life skills,” explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. “These young people have so much potential, but often don’t realize it.”Founded in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which are sold for £20 after refurbished. Abandoned bikes supplied by the government make sure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve the further development.“The student population presents a large and ready market,” says Pearce. “So we approached the university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus(校园). They thought it was a great idea, and agreed to provide us with more support. This means we can train young people to repa ir extra 500 bikes over three years.”Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the profession development of those who have passed through his workshop. “But we are planning exit interviews with the young people to make sure what they plan to do, and these will allow us to check on their progress,” says Pearce.That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. “Most kids have ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a flat tyre. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the youngand old a sense of freedom and independence, and the effect on their well-being is big. Add that to a growing concern for the environment, and it’s no surprise that bike sales are on the increase.”28. From the passage, we know ReCycle Bikes ______.A.is a popular brand of bikesB. provides training chances for young peopleC.is a training project offered by the governmentD. aims at making money by selling refurbished bicycles29. How did ReCycle Bikes run at the beginning?A. By working together with Sheffield University.B. By selling bicycles supplied by the government.C.

ReCycle Bikes has formed a partnership with Sheffield University because ______.A. students at Sheffield University can be their potential customersB. Sheffield University donates a lot of money to ReCycle BikesC. teenagers at ReCycle Bikes can study at Sheffield UniversityD. Sheffield University offers to host bike sales on the campus31. According to Pearce, why do most of the teenagers enjoy the work?A. They’d like to change their lives.B. They want to learn how to repair bikes.C. They do n’t have enough money to buy cars.D. They are familiar with bikes and interested in them.DThe State Council declared Wednesday it would restart China's nuclear power program, ending the hiatus(中断)in nuclear construction since Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster last year.China has been the most courageous country in building nuclear power, with the largest number of plants currently under construction. Nuclearpower is facing a tough time in developed countries. The Japanese public is demanding the closure of all the country's nuclear power plants. China is at the forefront of nuclear power development. But it has been forced into this position.Rapid economic development coupled with improvements in people's life both demand more electricity. It is impossible to exploit fossil resources forever as the supply of coal, oil and natural gas is limited. China has no choice but to develop nuclear power.China must be the safest user of nuclear power. It should become a leading country in developing nuclear power technologies and increasing the world's knowledge of nuclear power.It needs to do at least two things. First, it needs to promote safety in nuclear power plants, based on the technologies of the West. The former Soviet Union, the US and Japan all had severe nuclear accidents, proving there are risks. China should try to remove these risks.Second, China should establish effective communication mechanisms (机制)between the government, power plants and the public. It's wrong to think the government can control every aspect of nuclear power plant construction.The opposition to nuclear power program in developed countries has prevented them from building new plants, but they already have many. These governments are reluctant to close these plants despite strong opposition, because they cannot find better substitutes.Nuclear power only occupies 1.8 percent of China's current electricity grid(输电网), much lower than the proportion in many developed countries. China's nuclear power plan should introduce the advantages of the technologies of other countries and also be creative in providing security. Its space technology is not the most advanced, but its launch safety measures have proven to be among the best.China's high-profile high-speed railway development has drawn a lot of controversy, as will the active attitude towards developing nuclear power. But China cannot just copy what the developed countries have done. The development of nuclear power must be unique to China and it must bea ground-breaking success. But now, the real test lies ahead.32. In the third paragraph the writer focuses on ______.A. the reason why China is to develop nuclear powerB. the difficulty China has in developing nuclear powerC. the measures China will take to develop nuclear powerD. the benefits China will have by developing nuclear power33. What attitude do people in developed countries have towards nuclear power program?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Indifferent.D. Objective.34. If the Chinese government is to develop nuclear power, it needs to ______.A. copy exactly what the developed countries have doneB. depend entirely on domestic scientists and technologiesC. avoid people’s involvement in nuclear power plant constructionD. do everything in its power to guarantee safety in nuclear power plants35. What is the future of China’s nuclear power program according to the text?A. It will be unique but can hardly pass too many tests.B. It will be full of controversy but carried out firmly.C. It will be on a smooth way to a ground-breaking success.D. It will receive much opposition from developed countries.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
