2. What’s more, he had recently received a letter from his father predicting that he would be “a disgrace to yourself and all your family”.
3. After Darwin had spent some time in South American, his room on the ship was crowded with samples of the plants and animals he had collected.

5. It seems their beaks had evolved according to what food was available on that particular island.
6. Over time, it had slowly evolved into many new species.
We use the Past Perfect Tense to say that something had already happened before another past action or specific time in the past.

the action which occurs previously in time is expressed in the past perfect tense
the action which occurs later is expressed in the past tense
肯定式为“had +过去分词”

助动词
过去完成时
构成
思考:had在结构中的功能是什么?
1. 表示在过去的某一时间或某一动作之前完成的动作或存在的状态:过去的过去。
用法
eg Before we got to the train station, the train had already left.
(我们到达火车站之前,火车就已经离开了。)
常用时间状语:be then, by the end of, by the time.
eg By the end of last term, we had learnt 2,000 English words.
到上学期期末为止,我们已经学习了2,000个英语单词了。
They had lived there for ten years by then.
到那时为止,他们已经在那里住了10年了。
2. 表示从过去某一时间开始,一直延续到过去的另一个时间的动作。
eg I had intended to meet him at the airport, but I had an important meeting to attend.
我本打算去机场接他,但是我有个重要的会议要参加。
I had hoped to take a holiday this year but I was not able to get away.
我原打算今年去度假,可是我离不开。
3. 表示愿望、打算等的动词,如hope, want, expect, think, mean, suppose, intend, plan等后接从句时,一般用过去完成时表示本打算实现而未实现的愿望和计划。
eg Hardly had I left when it began to rain.
我刚离开就开始下雨了。
No sooner had he sat down than the telephone rang.
他刚坐下,电话铃就响了。
注意部分倒装
4. 在句型hardly…when和no sooner…than中,主句用过去完成时,从句用一般过去时:一……就……。
◆It / This / That was + the first / second ... + time + that从句,从句谓语常用过去完成时。
eg It was the first time that we had been to Chicago.
◆It was + 一段时间+ since从句,从句谓语用过去完成时。
eg It was two years since he had joined the army.
5. 过去完成时还可用于一些固定句型:
现在完成时与过去完成时
现在完成时 过去完成时
在“现在”的角度回顾过去,表示一个从过去持续到现在的动作或事件,对现在仍有影响 在“过去”的角度回顾一个更远的过去,强调“过去的过去”。只有和过去的某个时间或某个动作相比较时,才用过去完成时
have (has) + 过去分词 had +过去分词
时间状语常用today, this week, this year, recently等 时间状语常用by, by the end of, by the time, before, when等构成的短语或从句
eg We have lived here for ten years.
We had lived here for ten years when we had to move last year.
I have learnt 2,000 English words so far.
I had learnt 2,000 English words till then.
Have you read the newspaper today
By the end of August, they had treated over 5,000 patients.
一般过去时与过去完成时
一般过去时 过去完成时
只强调过去某一特定的时间 在时间上强调“过去的过去”
当两个或两个以上接连发生的动作用 and 或 but 连接时,按时间顺序,只需用一般过去时 在 after , as soon as 引导的从句中,由于这些连词本身已经表示出时间的先后,因此也可以用过去时来代替过去完成时
在没有明确的过去时间状语作标志时,谓语动词所表示的动作发生的时间先后须依据上下文来判断: 先发生的用过去完成时,后发生的则用一般过去时。
eg They had arrived at the station by ten yesterday.
They arrived at the station at ten yesterday.
He entered the room, turned on the light and read an evening paper.

Yuan Longping was born in Beijing in 1930. After he graduated from university in the early 1950s, he declicated himself to the research of agriculture. Yuan had the idea to create a new breed of rice in the 1960s. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to research and develop a better rice breed. In 1973 he and his collaborators managed to cultivate a hybrid rice species that was superior to many others. This species produced 20 per cent more rice per plant than the commonly grown varieties. For his achievements and contributions, Yuan is known as the “father of hybrid rice” and was awarded the Medal of the Republic in 2019.

Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was an influential botanist. Mendel worked out the basic principles of heredity by experimenting with plants. In 1866, he published his findings, showing how invisible “factors” (now known as genes) are responsible for predictable visible traits. As a result of his work, he became known as the “father of modern genetics”.
