参考答案
·卷中悟法·
本单元以“预料之外的事件”为话题,要求同学们使用过去完成时叙述过去的事情,并能熟练掌握这种时态。
过去完成时
过去完成时由“助动词had + 动词的过去分词”构成,它表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成了的动作,即这个动作发生的时间是“过去的过去”。在以下几种情况下一般要使用过去完成时:
★如果句中含有by构成的表示过去时间的介词短语,该句常用过去完成时。例如:
We had learned about 800 English words by the end of last term. 到上学期结束时我们已经学习了大约800个英语单词。
★在含有宾语从句的复合句中,若主句中的谓语动词是一般过去时,且宾语从句中的动作发生在主句之前,那么,宾语从句要用过去完成时。例如:
She said that she had been to Beijing three times. 她说她去过北京三次。
★在含有时间状语从句的复合句中,若两个动作都发生在过去,后发生的动作常用一般过去时,先发生的动作常用过去完成时。例如:
Jack had finished his homework before he went shopping. 杰克在去购物前就已经完成了他的家庭作业。
By the time I got to the station, the train had left. 我到达车站时,火车已经开走了。

五、书面表达
One possible version:
Life is full of the unexpected
Boys and girls,
Today my topic is “Life is full of the unexpected”. Nowadays a lot of teenagers can't stand the pressure of life. Some are always afraid of difficulties. It's easy for them to lose hope in front of difficulties. In fact, life is full of the unexpected. We must learn to face our life hopefully. Sometimes bad things can turn out to be good. So when we get into trouble, we must try our best to solve the problems instead of losing heart. If we keep hope in our hearts, we will live a happy life.
That's all. Thank you!
