Unit 9 语法复习
——现在完成时和现在完成进行时
【现在完成时态】
一.基本结构:助动词have/has+过去分词(done) 。表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,或过去发生的动作还未结束,一直持续到现在或将来,重点在于跟现在有关系。
二.句型:
否定句:主语+have/has+not+过去分词+其他.
一般疑问句:Have/Has+主语+过去分词+其他.
简略答语: Yes, 主语 + have/has.(肯定) No, 主语 + haven't/hasn't.(否定)
三.用法
1.“已完成”用法: 表示一个过去发生并结束的动作对现在造成的影响或结果。
这一类情况可以细致分为下述两种情况。
1)表示开始于过去的动作刚刚结束。常和just,now,already,yet,not…yet等不确定的时间状语连用。
Li Ming has just turned off the light. 李明刚刚把灯关上。(说明现在灯关上了)?
I've finished my homework now. 现在我已经做完作业了。(说明可以交作业或做别的了)
2)表示过去动作的结果,现在仍残留着。一般不用时间状语。
I have lost my pen. 我把笔弄丢了。(说明过去某时丢的,现在还没找到这支笔)
She has become a teacher. 她已经当了老师。(说明她现在仍是老师)
2.“未完成”用法。表示动作或状态从过去某时开始,持续到现在的动作(用行为动词表示)或状态(be动词表示),常与for(+段时间)、since(+时间点或过去时的句子)连用。
①for+时段(for a long time,for a month)
②since+过去一个时间点(译为:自从……以来,如since 1991/yesterday)
③since+时段+ago(since 2 days ago)
④since+从句(过去时)
⑤It is+时段+since+从句(过去时)
⑥其它常见:today,this week(month),lately,recently,these days,in the past few days,during the last two weeks,,so far,up to now,till(until) now等。
He has lived here for 30 years.?他住在这儿三十年了。(现在还住在这儿)?
They've known each other since childhood. 他们从小彼此相识。(现在还在往来)
How long have you studied English?你学英语多久了?(现在仍在学)
3. 经验性用法: 表示从过去开始到目前为止这段时间中反复发生的动作或多次出现的状态。常与频度副词如often, always, every week, twice等连用。
I have been to the Summer Palace twice. 我曾经去过颐和园两次。
He has always said so.他总是这么说.
四.现在完成时的时间状语
1. 现在完成时的含义之一是过去完成的动作对现在仍有影响,用以下时间状语表示这种含义。
用副词already、yet。already一般用于肯定句中,yet一般用于否定句和疑问句中。
如:We have already finished our homework.我们已完成作业了。
They haven't finished their homework yet.他们还没有完成作业。
用ever和never. 多用于否定或疑问句中,表示“曾经”或“从未”等。
如:-Have you ever been to the Great Wall? 你曾经去过长城吗?
-I have never been to the Great Wall.我从未去过长城。?
用表示到说话为止的过去时间状语,如so far, just,before, up to now, the past few years等。
如:I have seen her before, but I can not remember where.?我以前见过她,但记不起在哪里见过。
He has got to Beijing so far. 到目前为止,他已经到了北京。
用包括“现在”在内的时间状语,如now, today, this morning(month, year, term)等。
如:-Have you met him today?-No, I haven't. 今天你见过他吗?我没有。
表示动作发生的次数的时间状语
如:He has been there three times the last few days.?近几天他去过那里三次了。?
How many times have you been there this year??今年你去过那里多少次?
2. 短暂性动词不能和表一段时间的时间状语连用。如:come, go, arrive, reach, hear, close, leave, begin, start, lose, buy, fall, join, die, get up等。但如果要保留表示一段时间的时间状语,必须将动词改为延续性动词,常与for+时段、since+过去一个时间点(过去从句)的时间状语连用。
现归纳总结一下由非延续性动词到延续性动词的转换。
瞬间动词的变化
buy----have borrow -----keep/have become -----be
catch a cold -----have a cold put on -----wear
用“be+形容词”代替短暂性动词
marry-----be married fall(get) ill-----be ill
die-----be dead fall(get) asleep-----be asleep
wake/wake up-----be awake lose-----be missing/gone/lost
open-----be open close-----be close
finish( end )→be over go out----be out
用“be+副词”代替短暂性动词
start/begin-----be on get up→ be up
return/come back/go back→be back leave/move →be away
come/arrive/reach/get here(there)-----be here/there
come/arrive/reach/get to-----be in
用“be+介词短语”代替短暂性动词
go to/come to-----be in/at +地点 join the army-----be in the army
move to-----be in/at +地点
如:He has been a soldier for three years.他参军三年了。
His father has been dead for two years.他父亲去世二年了。
The film has been on for 5 minutes.电影已开始五分钟了。
We have studied English for three years. 我们(开始)学英语已三年了。
五.几点注意事项
1. have been(to)与have gone( to)的区别:
have been(to)表示“去过某地(现在已经回来了)”,可用于各人称;可与once ,never, several times等连用。
have gone(to)表示“去某地了(说话时某人不在当地)”,常用于第三人称,
如:They have been to Beijing twice.他们去过北京两次。
He has gone to Beijing . 他去北京了。
2. 不可延续性动词现在完成时的否定式,已变成一种可以延续的状态,因此可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。
如:I haven’t left here since 1997. 自从1997年以来,我一直没有离开过这儿。
(错)I have received his letter for a month.
(对)I haven't received his letter for almost a month.

Today it can be said that wheels run America. The four rubber tyres of the motorcar move America through work and play. Wheels spin and people drive off to their jobs. Tyres run, and people shop for the week’s food at the bi supermarkets. Each year more wheels crowd the highways as 10 million cars come out the factories. One out of six Americans work at assembling cars, driving trucks, building roads, or pumping gas. It is difficult to imagine what life will be like in America without cars.
But more people have begun to realize that the motorcar is a mixed blessing. Traffic accidents are increasing and large cities are suffering from traffic jam. Worst of all, perhaps, is the air pollution caused by car engines. Some of the gases given off by cars are poisonous dangerous to health, especially for someone with a weak heart. Although they have realized the exact problems, they are so used to travelling by car and it’s not easy for them to give up their cars all at once. So people began to think about designing new car engines or developing new clean energy. But all is not enough. Further work is needed.

How often do you use your car? Can you use your car less often? Do you know the following facts in the UK?
About 50% of all car journeys are just for fun.
Over 80% people go to work by car.
25% car journeys are under two miles.
70% car journeys are under five miles.
WALKING & CYCLING
Instead of using the car for short journeys, why not walk or ride a bicycle? Walking is a most popular form of exercise—it’s healthy and it can save you money. If you work nearby, try walking or cycling instead of driving. Walking your children to school gives them valuable road experience.
BUSES
Bus companies are using new buses: some run on new fuels which produce less pollution; some have easier access for disabled and old people. There are special traffic lanes (行车道)to make bus journeys easier and more reliable. So do something to help solve the pollution problem—let the bus take you to work and your children to school.
TRALNS
All car journeys, long or short, can be hard work. For some trips it is wiser to take the train. Leave your car at home and walk, cycle or take a bus to and from the station. Train travel is fast, safe and comfortable. Train tickets are not always expensive; some are quite cheap at discount.
50. How many of car journeys are just for fun in the UK?
A. 25%. B. About 50%.
C. 70%. D. Over 80%.

2011年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(北京卷) 阅读D篇
As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电)and transmission (输送) system for the 21th century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.
The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.
So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediateeffects.
The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21th century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.
The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.
67. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B. Some railroad stops remained underused.
C. Land in the West was hard to manage.
D. Land grants went into private hands.
68. What is the major concern in the development of alternativeenergy according to the last two paragraphs?
A. The transmission of power.
B. The use of money and power.
C. The conservation of solar energy.
D. The selection of an ideal place.
69. What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?
A. Cautious
B. Approving
C. Doubtful
D. Disapproving
70. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How the Railways Have Affected the West
B. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
C. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
D. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
56. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of work B. He was bored with his job C. He wanted a higher position D. He hoped to find a better boss
57. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre B. a wild man was pushing a carC. a terrible accident happened D. an old man’s car broke down
58. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A. He was also to be interviewed B. He needed a traveling companionC. He always helped people in need D. He was thankful to Jimmy
59. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?A. He was sorry for the other applicantsB. There was no hope for him to get the job C. He regretted helping the old man D. The interviewer was very rude
60. A. What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience?A. Where there is a will, there’s a wayB. A friend in need is a friend indeedC. Good is rewarded with good. D. Two heads are better than one
2013年全国高考英语试题(江苏卷)阅读B篇
We’ve considered several ways of paying to cut in line: hiring line standers, buying tickets from scalpers (票贩子), or purchasing line-cutting privileges directly from, say, an airline or amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue (waiting your turn) with the morals of the market (paying a price for faster service).
Markets and queues—paying and waiting—are two different ways of allocating things, and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue, “First come, first served,” havean egalitarian (平等主义的) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets.
The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions. If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along, simply because it’s the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by different standards.
Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply. Think of the recorded message you hear, played over and over, as you wait on hold when calling your bank:“Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” This is essential for the moralsof the queue. It’s as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness.
But don’t take the recorded message too seriously. Today, some people’s calls are answeredfaster than others. Call center technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to givefaster service to those that come from rich places. You might call this telephonic queue jumping.
Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. Some goods we distribute by merit, others by need, still others by chance. However, the tendency of markets to replace queues, and other non-market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore. It is striking that most of the paid queue-jumping schemes we’ve considered—at airports and amusement parks, in call centers, doctors’ offices, and national parks—are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago. The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that markets have entered.

2013年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(湖南卷)阅读A篇
Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). (358 words)
