(2) after意为“...之后”,表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。 e.g. After you finish the letter, show it to me. (3) when意为“...时”,它所引导的时间状语既可指时间点,也可指时间段,因此在when引导的时间状语从句中, 谓语动词既可以是瞬时动词,也可以是延续性动词。 由when引导的时间状语从句,如果主句用过去进行时、从句用一般过去时, 则表示一个动作正在进行的时候另一个动作(突然)发生了,强调后一动作发生的突然性,此时when意为“正在那时”。 e.g. When the girl came in, her mother was watching TV.当这个女孩进来时,她妈妈正在看电视。 (when所引导的时间状语指时间点, come是瞬时动词) When we were walking in the park, we met Mary.当我们正在公园散步时,遇见了玛丽。 (when所引导的时间状语指时间段, walk是延续性动词) A boy was walking along the street when it began to rain.一个男孩正沿着街边散步,突然天开始下雨了。 (强调雨下得很突然) While a boy was walking along the street, it began to rain.当一个男孩正沿着街边散步的时候,天开始下起雨来。(注意此句只表明下雨的事实,不强调突然性) while意为“在......期间”时,表示主句动作发生在从句动作进行的过程中: 意为“......同时”时,强调主句动作和从句动作是同时发生的,此时主从句都要用过去进行时。 while 所引导的时间状语只指时间段,因此,在while引导的时间状语从句中,谓语动词必须是延续性动词。 e.g. While he was reading, his mother came in. 他正在读书时,他妈妈进来了。 (主句动作came in发生在从句动作reading进行的过程中) While Mary was writing a letter ,the children were playing outside.玛丽写信时,孩子们正在外面玩耍。 ( write与play都是延续性动词,并且是同时发生的) since意为“自...以来,自.....以后”,引导时间状语丛句时,表示某事于过去某一时间开始,并且现在仍在继续, 一般情况下,从句谓语动词用一般过去时,而主句的谓语动词用现在完成时。 since也常用于句型"It is/has been +时间段since+从句”表示“自.....以来已经有....时间了”, 在该句型中,since引导的时间状语从句通常用一般过去时。 e.g. I've been collecting them since I was five years old.自从我五岁以来,我就一直在收集它们。 It is three years since I left university, 我大学毕业已经三年了。 It has been two years since I worked here. 我来这里工作已经两年了。 注意:since引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词既可以是延续性动词,也可以是瞬时动词。 until与till意为“直到...为止”,引导时间状语从句时,一般情况下两者可以互换使用。 Until/till用于肯定句时,主句的动作必须是延续性动词,表示这一动作或状态一直延续到until所表示的时间为止;用于否定句时,主句的动作一般是瞬时动词表示动作或状态直到until所表示的时间才发生, 即构成not…until...结构,表示“直到......才...” e.g. I lived with my parents until/till I graduated from college.直到我大学毕业, 我都和我的父母住在一起。 The bus won't start until everybody gets on. 直到每个人都上车,公共汽车才会开动。 注意: until可以放在句首或句中,而till不能放在句首,且till主要用于口语中。 e.g. Until she spoke I hadn't realized she wasn't English.直到她开口说话我才知道她不是英国人。 (7)as soon as意为“一 .......就….." , 常用来引导时间状语从句,表示丛句的动作一发生主句的运作就马上发生。 从句位于主句前后均可,若主句时态为一般将来时,则从句要用一般现在时表将来。 e.g. He stared as soon as he received the news. 他一接到消息就出发了 。 As soon as he returns, please ask him to give me a call.他一回来就请他给我回个电话。 (8) whenever意为“每当;每次”时,也可用来引导时间状语从句。此时whenever可以用every time替换。 e.g. Whenever/Every time I call on him , he is out.每次我去访问他,他都不在。 一.短文首字母填空 What does the power of example mean to the young Superstar snowboarder Su Yiming may be a best person to give the a____ 1.

As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets Make better plans If you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them. Live a more active life You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others. Find the right friend A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always make your ideas better. When you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results. Never fear failure Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves. Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.
