(三)语法知识
现在完成时I
一、结构
现在完成时由 “have/has + 动词的过去分词” 构成,人称 / 数的变化体现在助动词:
第一人称单 / 复数(I/we)、第二人称(you)、第三人称复数(they):用 have
第三人称单数(he/she/it):用 has
二、用法
场景 1:过去动作对现在有影响 / 结果
强调 “过去做的事,现在还能感受到痕迹”,常搭配 already(已经,肯定句)、yet(还,否定 / 疑问句)、just(刚刚) 等词。
例 1(肯定):I have seen the questionnaire in this newspaper.(我看过报纸上的问卷 → 现在知道问卷内容 )
例 2(否定):I have not (haven’t) seen the questionnaire in this newspaper.(没看过 → 现在不清楚内容 )
例 3(疑问):
Have you seen the questionnaire in this newspaper
Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t.(问 “看没看”,关联现在是否知晓 )
场景 2:过去动作持续到现在(或刚结束)
侧重 “从过去延续到现在的经历 / 状态”,常搭配 ever(曾经)、never(从未)、before(以前) 等词,或描述 “去过某地、做过某事” 的经历。
例 1(经历):My aunt has travelled all over the world.(姑妈过去到现在,一直有 “周游世界” 的经历 )
例 2(去过某地):He/She has been to Los Angeles.(他 / 她 “去过洛杉矶”,现在不在当地,但有这个经历 )
三、句式变形(肯定 / 否定 / 疑问 )
以 “I have seen the questionnaire” 为例,变形规则通用:
句式 结构(以第一人称举例) 例句
肯定句 主语 + have/has + 过去分词 + 其他 I have seen the questionnaire.
否定句 主语 + haven’t/hasn’t + 过去分词 + 其他 I haven’t seen the questionnaire.
疑问句 Have/Has + 主语 + 过去分词 + 其他? Have you seen the questionnaire
回答 肯定:Yes, 主语 + have/has.
否定:No, 主语 + haven’t/hasn’t. Yes, I have.
No, I haven’t.
四、特殊变化(过去分词不规则表 )
多数动词过去分词规则(+ed),但部分高频词需特殊记(背核心 12 组,覆盖考试常考):
原形 过去分词 原形 过去分词 原形 过去分词
be been find found have had
do done have had let let
go gone make made put put
see seen say said travel travelled
五、易混对比(现在完成时 vs 一般过去时 )
维度 现在完成时 一般过去时
核心区别 强调 “过去对现在的影响 / 持续” 强调 “过去某个具体时间的动作”
时间词 already, yet, just, ever, never 等 yesterday, last month, ago 等
例句对比 I have finished my homework.(“完成” 对现在的影响:作业做完了,现在不用做 ) I finished my homework an hour ago.(“完成” 是过去某一时刻的动作,仅描述过去 )
六、高频考点总结
标志词必记:already(肯定)、yet(否定 / 疑问)、just(刚刚)、ever(曾经)、never(从未)、over time(随着时间)。
“去过某地” 结构:have/has been to(去过,已回);若表达 “去了某地(还没回)”,用 have/has gone to(别记混!)。
和一般过去时的选择:看是否强调 “对现在的影响”,影响现在用完成时,纯过去动作选一般过去时。

9.When the earth started to shake, people screamed in (恐惧) and ran in all directions.
【答案】fear
【详解】句意:当地球开始摇晃时,人们惊恐地尖叫着,向四面八方跑去。根据“When the earth started to shake, people screamed in … (恐惧) and ran in all directions.”以及汉语提示可知,此处需要填名词“恐惧”,fear“恐惧”,不可数名词;“in fear”为固定短语,意为“惊恐地”,符合语境。故填fear。

二、根据汉语意思完成句子

50.句意:我有很多麻烦。前文说“我”并不像看起来那么开心,后面列举了一些情况,可知这里是说“我”有很多“麻烦”,“trouble”作为“麻烦事”讲时是可数名词,many后接可数名词复数。故填troubles。
51.句意:我常常觉得我的一些课很无聊。“feel”是系动词,后接形容词,根据后文说有很多不喜欢的练习,可知觉得一些课是“无聊的”,“bored”修饰人,“boring”修饰物,这里修饰“lessons”。故填boring。

54.句意:其次,我总是觉得几乎没有老师和同学能足够理解我。根据后文同学们不理解“我”,可知“我”觉得“几乎没有”老师和同学足够理解“我”,“few”表示“几乎没有”,修饰可数名词复数,符合语境。故填few。
55.句意:他们甚至说我瞧不起那些在功课上不如我做得好的同学。“as+形容词/副词原级+as”表示“和……一样”,这里修饰动词“do”,用副词“well”,表示“在功课方面不如我做得好”。故填well。
56.句意:尽管我花了很多时间帮助他们。前文说同学们说“我”瞧不起成绩不如“我”的同学,后文说“我”花很多时间帮助他们,前后是转折关系,“although”表示“尽管”,引导让步状语从句。故填although。

(三)语法知识
现在完成时I
一、结构
现在完成时由 “have/has + 动词的过去分词” 构成,人称 / 数的变化体现在助动词:
第一人称单 / 复数(I/we)、第二人称(you)、第三人称复数(they):用 have
第三人称单数(he/she/it):用 has
二、用法
场景 1:过去动作对现在有影响 / 结果
强调 “过去做的事,现在还能感受到痕迹”,常搭配 already(已经,肯定句)、yet(还,否定 / 疑问句)、just(刚刚) 等词。
例 1(肯定):I have seen the questionnaire in this newspaper.(我看过报纸上的问卷 → 现在知道问卷内容 )
例 2(否定):I have not (haven’t) seen the questionnaire in this newspaper.(没看过 → 现在不清楚内容 )
例 3(疑问):
Have you seen the questionnaire in this newspaper
Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t.(问 “看没看”,关联现在是否知晓 )
场景 2:过去动作持续到现在(或刚结束)
侧重 “从过去延续到现在的经历 / 状态”,常搭配 ever(曾经)、never(从未)、before(以前) 等词,或描述 “去过某地、做过某事” 的经历。
例 1(经历):My aunt has travelled all over the world.(姑妈过去到现在,一直有 “周游世界” 的经历 )
例 2(去过某地):He/She has been to Los Angeles.(他 / 她 “去过洛杉矶”,现在不在当地,但有这个经历 )
三、句式变形(肯定 / 否定 / 疑问 )
以 “I have seen the questionnaire” 为例,变形规则通用:
句式 结构(以第一人称举例) 例句
肯定句 主语 + have/has + 过去分词 + 其他 I have seen the questionnaire.
否定句 主语 + haven’t/hasn’t + 过去分词 + 其他 I haven’t seen the questionnaire.
疑问句 Have/Has + 主语 + 过去分词 + 其他? Have you seen the questionnaire
回答 肯定:Yes, 主语 + have/has.
否定:No, 主语 + haven’t/hasn’t. Yes, I have.
No, I haven’t.
四、特殊变化(过去分词不规则表 )
多数动词过去分词规则(+ed),但部分高频词需特殊记(背核心 12 组,覆盖考试常考):
原形 过去分词 原形 过去分词 原形 过去分词
be been find found have had
do done have had let let
go gone make made put put
see seen say said travel travelled
五、易混对比(现在完成时 vs 一般过去时 )
维度 现在完成时 一般过去时
核心区别 强调 “过去对现在的影响 / 持续” 强调 “过去某个具体时间的动作”
时间词 already, yet, just, ever, never 等 yesterday, last month, ago 等
例句对比 I have finished my homework.(“完成” 对现在的影响:作业做完了,现在不用做 ) I finished my homework an hour ago.(“完成” 是过去某一时刻的动作,仅描述过去 )
六、高频考点总结
标志词必记:already(肯定)、yet(否定 / 疑问)、just(刚刚)、ever(曾经)、never(从未)、over time(随着时间)。
“去过某地” 结构:have/has been to(去过,已回);若表达 “去了某地(还没回)”,用 have/has gone to(别记混!)。
和一般过去时的选择:看是否强调 “对现在的影响”,影响现在用完成时,纯过去动作选一般过去时。

Born in 2000, Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname “Little Devil” by her fans. When she was little, Sun was sensitive to the sound of a table tennis ball hitting the ground. “I felt I had some talent,” she told China Daily.
When Sun first joined the reserve squad (预备队) of the national table tennis team, she was excited. Becoming a world top player like her idol Zhang Yining has always been her dream.
However, there have been challenges along the way. She took part in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and it was there that she faced huge losses. “I was not well-rounded enough to win the gold medal in the women’s singles,” Sun said.
Sun believes that life is always full of ups and downs. “Determination and courage can make a good athlete,” she said. “What keeps me going is the goals and dreams I set for myself.”
At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women’s singles, the women’s doubles and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛). Looking at the world ranking website, you can see Sun’s name at the top of the women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles.
When talking about younger table tennis players, Sun encourages them to keep their love and stay focused. “If you truly love table tennis, I hope you can hold on to it,” she said.

Do you like skiing (滑雪) When it comes to skiing, we have to know about one man—Shan Zhaojian. He is famous as China’s “father of skiing”.
In 1938, Shan was born in Tonghua, a city known for its ice and snow. In the 1950s, China began to develop (发展) winter sports in the northeastern areas (东北地区), and Tonghua built its first cross- country ski team. Shan joined it when he was 16. “Things were really difficult at that time. We had no money to buy good skis, so we made them by ourselves. Even so, I kept practicing hard and believed we could do well,” he said. From 1957 to 1960, Shan won 10 medals in different skiing games.
Because of his poor health, Shan stopped skiing at the age of 24. But he didn’t give up the winter sport he loved. He worked as a ski coach and head of the Chinese Ski Team. In 1998, Shan stopped his job as a coach and spent more time studying the history of skiing, giving talks and holding activities about ice and snow sports in schools across the country. “I hope to see more people take part in ice and snow sports,” he said.
