To know the usage of present perfect continuous tense
To use present perfect continuous tense correctly
目标一: To know the usage of present perfect continuous tense
Activity 1: Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a Wild animals such as these Tibetan antelopes have now been using these passages for years.
b ...before I know it, we have reached Tanggula Station.
1 Which of these statements are true about sentence (a)
(1) Wild animals started using these passages in the past.
(2) Wild animals used these passages only once.
(3) Wild animals still use these passages now.
2 What is the difference between the expressions in bold in sentences (a) and (b)
They are different in form and meaning. For sentence (a) the form is “have been doing”, while for sentence (b) the form is “have done”. In meaning, the bold part in sentence (a) means the action is continuous from the past; while the bold part in sentence (b) means the action happened once in the past.
Now look for more sentences with the present perfect continuous tense in the reading passage, and summarise their uses in your own words.
1 All this time, the song “Sky Railway” has been playing inside my head.
2 Wild animals such as these Tibetan antelopes have now been using these passengers for years.
3 The journey has been flying by,...
4 The Qing-Tibet Plateau has been attracting people’s admiration for centuries.
Activity 2: Read the sentences below. Find out the common thing below and summarise the structure.
1. I have been reading the book.
2. I have been living here since 1988.
3. I have been waiting for two hours.
4. She is very tired. She has been working all morning.
Summary:
所有画线部分都是由____________________________构成的，都属于_____________________________。
have/has+been+doing
现在完成进行时
【语法精析】
（1）表示动作从过去某时开始，一直延续到现在，将来还可能延续下去，强调动作的延续性。
I have been waiting for an hour, but she hasn’t come yet.
Tom has been working hard since the new term began.
（2）表示从过去某时开始到现在这一段时间内动作一再重复发生
She has been phoning Jim every night for the past two weeks.
You have been telling me not to be late all the way.
（3）表示动作刚刚结束，该动作一般不再继续，有时会指出结果。
I have been playing ping-pong all morning, so I’m sweating.
I’ve been painting the door, so my hands are very dirty.
（4）表示某种感彩。
You have been daydreaming but never make an effort.
You have been lying to me.
【注意】
1 现在完成时和现在完成进行时的区别
1）在不用时间状语的情况下，现在完成进行时的动作
不一定已经完成，很可能持续下去，而现在完成时一般表示动作已经完成。即现在完成进行时强调动作的延续性，而现在完成时强调动作的结果。
例如：a.I’ve been designing solar racing cars.
（我一直在设计太阳能赛车。）
b.I’ve designed five or six different cars.
（我已经设计五六辆小汽车了。）
2）现在完成进行时往往表示动作在重复，而现在完成时一般不表示动作的重复。
例如：a.I’ve been taking part in races for four years.
（我这四年一直在参加比赛。）
b.How many races have you taken part in
（你参加多少场比赛了？）
3）现在完成进行时与所有进行时态一样带有感彩。
可使表达显得生动，而现在完成时往往只表明一个事实、一种影响或结果，不带感彩。
例如：What have you been doing You look fed up.
（你一直在干什么呀？你看上去很不高兴。）
2常与现在完成进行时连用的时间状语
现在完成进行时常与表示一段时间的状语连用，例
如：all the time，this week，all night，these few days，for...，since... 等。例如:
a.A private detective has been tailing him for several weeks.
（一位私人侦探几个星期以来一直在跟踪他。）
b.Craig loves outdoor activities-he skis in winter and has been fishing and hunting since he was a child.
（Craig热爱户外活动，冬天他去滑雪，他从小就开始钓鱼和打猎。）
目标二:To use present perfect continuous tense correctly
Activity 1: Complete the passage with the correct form of the verb in brackets.
I 1 ________________ (hear) a strange sound for a while. It’s a deep, loud roar, like a lion’s. But there aren’t any lions here...
