as well as---就远原则，句子的谓语动词单复数由 as well as 前面的主语决定
Since the late 1970s,Shenzhen has developed at an amazing speed and has become a symbol of China's development.
解析：
8.Since the late 1970s “自 20 世纪 70 年代末以来”。这个短语是现在完成时的标志性时间状语，说明动作从过去持续到现在。
Since+时间点，和现在完成时连用
at an amazing speed：固定搭配，意为 “以惊人的速度”。
at the speed of 以...的速度 Speed up 加速
a symbol of：意为 “…… 的象征”。
9.The city's pioneering spirit,together with the hard work and creativity of its citizens,is certainly the key to shenzhen’s success.
pioneering spirit开拓精神；创新精神
together with和；连同 连接两个并列成分时，句子的谓语动词要和前面的主语保持一致，也就是 “就远原则”。
就远原则总结：together with（和…… 一起）as well as（也；和）along with（连同……）
besides（除…… 之外还有）except/but（除了）including（包括）rather than（而不是）
就近原则总结：there be 句型not only...but also...（不仅…… 而且……）either...or...（要么…… 要么……）
neither...nor...（既不…… 也不……） or（或者）
现在完成时
核心用法：
动作从过去开始，持续到现在（强调持续时长）
动作的起点在过去（如 “1989 年”“参加工作时”），一直延续到说话的现在，未停止。
高频标志词：since（+ 过去时间点 / 过去从句）、for（+ 时间段）、over the years、in recent years、during the last 10 years（从过去一直到现在）
He’s lived there since he finished college.（他大学毕业后就住在那里了 —“住” 的动作从毕业持续到现在）
Shenzhen has developed at an amazing speed since the late 1970s.（自 20 世纪 70 年代末以来，深圳以惊人速度发展 ——“发展” 持续至今）
My father has worked at the hospital for over 15 years.（我爸爸在这家医院工作了 15 年多 ——“工作” 持续 15年）
since 后接 “过去时间点”（如 since 2010）或 “过去时从句”（如 since he was a child），不能接时间段；
for 后接 “时间段”（如 for 5 years、for a long time）；☆此用法中，谓语动词需是 “持续动词”（如 live、work、develop、improve）
动动作发生在过去，对现在有明确影响 / 结果（强调 “现在状态”）
动作在过去某个不确定时间发生，但结果直接体现在现在（如 “已经完成”“已经变化”）。
高频标志词：just（刚刚）、already（已经）、yet（尚未）、recently（最近）
例句：
1.I’ve just learned about many things about Shenzhen from my uncle.（我刚从叔叔那里了解到很多关于深圳的事 —— 现在 “我” 已经知道这些信息了）
2.Some people in the village have already moved to new buildings.（这个村子的一些人已经搬到了新房里 —— 现在他们住在新楼里）
3.I haven’t visited Beijing yet.（我还没去北京 —— 现在 “我” 仍未体验过）
4.Recently, the air quality has improved a lot.（最近，空气质量改善了很多 —— 现在空气更清新了）
already 用于肯定句，可放在 “助动词 + 过去分词” 之间（常用）或句末（强调语气），
yet 用于否定句 / 疑问句：否定句中表 “尚未”，疑问句中表 “已经（了吗）”，
just 放在 “助动词 + 过去分词” 之间，不可句末，如：They have just left.（他们刚走）
动作发生在过去，强调 “经历 / 次数”（不确定具体时间）
关注过去是否有过该经历、经历过多少次，不强调动作发生的具体时间点。
高频标志词：ever（曾经）、never（从未）、once（一次）、twice（两次）、three times（三次）、before（之前）
例句：
1.Have you been to Shenzhen before （你以前去过深圳吗？—— 询问过去是否有该经历）
2.I have never visited Shenzhen.（我从未去过深圳 —— 强调没有该经历）
3.He has been to many cities around the world.（他去过世界上很多城市 —— 强调经历丰富）
4.She has read the novel twice.（她读了那篇关于深圳的文章两次 —— 强调经历次数）
基本结构
肯定句：主语+have/has+过去分词(done) I have finished the task.
否定句：主语+haven’t/hasn’t+过去分词 She hasn’t visited Shenzhen before.
疑问句：Have+主语+过去分词 Have you seen the film Yes,I have./No，I haven’t.
时间状语
since（+ 过去时间点 / 过去从句）、for（+ 时间段）、over the years、in recent years、during the last 10 years、so far、up to now、these days
just（刚刚）、already（已经）、yet（尚未）、recently（最近）
ever（曾经）、never（从未）、once（一次）、twice（两次）、three times（三次）、before（之前）
过去分词变化规则
不规则动词：(参考教材后面不规则动词变化表格)
see--seen do--done build--built fall--fallen be--been come--come
go--gone win--won find--found
(
思考：什么是延续性动词和非延续性动词？（
Unit 2
重点语法）
)
1.延续性动词是能持续一段时间的动作（如 “住”“工作”），动作能持续进行，可与 “for + 时间段”“since + 过去时间 / 从句” 等表持续时长的状语连用。例：live（住）、work（工作）、keep（保留）、study（学习）、be（是）。
2.非延续性动词是瞬间完成、无法持续的动作（如 “买”“离开”），动作瞬间完成，不能直接与 “for + 时间段”“since” 连用（因为动作无法持续）。例：buy（买）、join（加入）、die（死亡）、leave（离开）、borrow（借）。

These days, teenagers are greatly influenced（影响）by the media（媒体）. Many have watched thousands of hours of TV and short videos. That may be more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven't thought of the hours they spend using the internet and reading newspapers.
However, several studies have shown a problem: Today's teenagers lack media literacy （认知能力）. In other words, they have trouble thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 per cent of them couldn't tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.
Stanford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gives an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One focuses on the bad road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. "With a news story, news stations tell you what they feel is the important details. These details mostly show the ideas of the news editor（编辑）,"said John."A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time."
Some experts think school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone-from parents to reporters-should help teenagers learn the skills.
As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts advise the age of 12.
But some easy ideas can be taught even earlier. "It's never too early to start learning media literacy," John said.
4. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that teenagers today spend _____.
A. enough time with their teachers at school B. too much time watching TV and short videos
C. fewer hours reading newspapers at home D. more time using the internet than watching TV
5. The underlined word "lack" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_____".
A. not having enough B. being good at
C. not having time for D. not being interested in
6. A person who has media literacy _____ about a news story.
A. should have the same ideas as others B. could think about the good and bad sides
C. knows about all the important details D. agrees with the ideas of the news editor
7. Professor Kevin John would agree that _____.
A. children shouldn't get in touch with the media
B. everyone should help children learn different skills
C. children should be taught media literacy as early as possible
D. news editors should report the news children are interested in
8. The main idea of the passage is _____.
A. how to improve teenagers' media literacy B. where teenagers can learn media literacy
C. what kinds of media teenagers use most often D. why teenagers should have media literacy

Life is full of choices and decisions. 26
First, it’s better to make a decision quickly than avoid it for a month because you’re afraid of choosing. 27 Also, some choices usually have time limits. So to keep our brains from getting too tired, we needn’t think about the cost of every single choice. Narrow down the list and try comparing only the best two or three.
Next, think about the value and cost of each choice. 28 Or better yet, create a scorecard（积分卡）, on which you give out bigger point values to what you think is more important. This way you can tell if one huge advantage is more important than a group of little disadvantages.
Then, stay calm and give yourself some space. You don’t want to delay (延迟) for weeks, but if you’re about to make a hasty (仓促的) decision, you may end up picking something you regret. 29 And it might take you a few days for major choices, like choosing your ideal high school.
30 Why Because it’s good to get a fresh way of thinking from others who are not as worried as you. Consider their opinions (观点) even if they are not what you want to hear. You need to take different opinions into consideration so that you will make a wise decision.
A．You’ll need at least one night to “sleep on it”.
B．And you don’t have to make a decision alone.
C．They are the best chances to show your personality.
D．These ways of letting out what you are feeling are helpful.
E．It’s very tiring to think things over but fail to decide in time.
F．To do that, you can make a list of advantages and disadvantages.
G．Here are some steps to help you make wise decisions.

Technology has done wonders for our world, from development in medicine, travel, to our day-to-day lives. It has greatly changed how society works and how we connect with each other However, as we fully welcome technology, a question comes up: Are we losing our ability （本领） to be creative ①
On one hand, technology supports creativity. Tools like design apps, social media, and online platforms（平台） help people turn ideas into reality. For example, businesses use creative ads to share new products, while artists use digital （数码的） tools to create artworks themselves. ② Technology encourages innovative thinking and problem-solving.
On the other hand, there are downsides. Many people depend too heavily on computers for tasks like calculations（计算）,reducing their need to think for themselves. Others spend hours looking at screens（屏幕）, leaving little time for creative activities. ③
So, how can we balance technology and creativity Here are some simple steps:
1. Limit（限制）screen time. Turn off useless notifications（通知）or use "Do Not Disturb（打扰）"mode
to focus on real-world tasks.
2. Spend time outdoors. A daily walk in nature clears your mind and brings fresh ideas.
3. Try screen-free hobbies. Reading, travelling, or drawing lets you explore ideas without technology.
The future of creativity depends on our choices. Will you put your phone down during meals Will you try to find joy beyond screens ④ Small actions today can improve the relationship between technology and creativity.
（ ）5. The writer begins this article by _____.
A. telling a story B. showing the reasons

"_______".
A.① B.② C.③ D.④

as well as---就远原则，句子的谓语动词单复数由 as well as 前面的主语决定
Since the late 1970s,Shenzhen has developed at an amazing speed and has become a symbol of China's development.
解析：
8.Since the late 1970s “自 20 世纪 70 年代末以来”。这个短语是现在完成时的标志性时间状语，说明动作从过去持续到现在。
Since+时间点，和现在完成时连用
at an amazing speed：固定搭配，意为 “以惊人的速度”。
at the speed of 以...的速度 Speed up 加速
a symbol of：意为 “…… 的象征”。
9.The city's pioneering spirit,together with the hard work and creativity of its citizens,is certainly the key to shenzhen’s success.
pioneering spirit开拓精神；创新精神
together with和；连同 连接两个并列成分时，句子的谓语动词要和前面的主语保持一致，也就是 “就远原则”。
就远原则总结：together with（和…… 一起）as well as（也；和）along with（连同……）
besides（除…… 之外还有）except/but（除了）including（包括）rather than（而不是）
就近原则总结：there be 句型not only...but also...（不仅…… 而且……）either...or...（要么…… 要么……）
neither...nor...（既不…… 也不……） or（或者）
现在完成时
核心用法：
动作从过去开始，持续到现在（强调持续时长）
动作的起点在过去（如 “1989 年”“参加工作时”），一直延续到说话的现在，未停止。
高频标志词：since（+ 过去时间点 / 过去从句）、for（+ 时间段）、over the years、in recent years、during the last 10 years（从过去一直到现在）
He’s lived there since he finished college.（他大学毕业后就住在那里了 —“住” 的动作从毕业持续到现在）
Shenzhen has developed at an amazing speed since the late 1970s.（自 20 世纪 70 年代末以来，深圳以惊人速度发展 ——“发展” 持续至今）
My father has worked at the hospital for over 15 years.（我爸爸在这家医院工作了 15 年多 ——“工作” 持续 15年）
since 后接 “过去时间点”（如 since 2010）或 “过去时从句”（如 since he was a child），不能接时间段；
for 后接 “时间段”（如 for 5 years、for a long time）；☆此用法中，谓语动词需是 “持续动词”（如 live、work、develop、improve）
动动作发生在过去，对现在有明确影响 / 结果（强调 “现在状态”）
动作在过去某个不确定时间发生，但结果直接体现在现在（如 “已经完成”“已经变化”）。
高频标志词：just（刚刚）、already（已经）、yet（尚未）、recently（最近）
例句：
1.I’ve just learned about many things about Shenzhen from my uncle.（我刚从叔叔那里了解到很多关于深圳的事 —— 现在 “我” 已经知道这些信息了）
2.Some people in the village have already moved to new buildings.（这个村子的一些人已经搬到了新房里 —— 现在他们住在新楼里）
3.I haven’t visited Beijing yet.（我还没去北京 —— 现在 “我” 仍未体验过）
4.Recently, the air quality has improved a lot.（最近，空气质量改善了很多 —— 现在空气更清新了）
already 用于肯定句，可放在 “助动词 + 过去分词” 之间（常用）或句末（强调语气），
yet 用于否定句 / 疑问句：否定句中表 “尚未”，疑问句中表 “已经（了吗）”，
just 放在 “助动词 + 过去分词” 之间，不可句末，如：They have just left.（他们刚走）
动作发生在过去，强调 “经历 / 次数”（不确定具体时间）
关注过去是否有过该经历、经历过多少次，不强调动作发生的具体时间点。
高频标志词：ever（曾经）、never（从未）、once（一次）、twice（两次）、three times（三次）、before（之前）
例句：
1.Have you been to Shenzhen before （你以前去过深圳吗？—— 询问过去是否有该经历）
2.I have never visited Shenzhen.（我从未去过深圳 —— 强调没有该经历）
3.He has been to many cities around the world.（他去过世界上很多城市 —— 强调经历丰富）
4.She has read the novel twice.（她读了那篇关于深圳的文章两次 —— 强调经历次数）
基本结构
肯定句：主语+have/has+过去分词(done) I have finished the task.
否定句：主语+haven’t/hasn’t+过去分词 She hasn’t visited Shenzhen before.
疑问句：Have+主语+过去分词 Have you seen the film Yes,I have./No，I haven’t.
时间状语
since（+ 过去时间点 / 过去从句）、for（+ 时间段）、over the years、in recent years、during the last 10 years、so far、up to now、these days
just（刚刚）、already（已经）、yet（尚未）、recently（最近）
ever（曾经）、never（从未）、once（一次）、twice（两次）、three times（三次）、before（之前）
过去分词变化规则
不规则动词：(参考教材后面不规则动词变化表格)
see--seen do--done build--built fall--fallen be--been come--come
go--gone win--won find--found
(
思考：什么是延续性动词和非延续性动词？（
Unit 2
重点语法）
)
1.延续性动词是能持续一段时间的动作（如 “住”“工作”），动作能持续进行，可与 “for + 时间段”“since + 过去时间 / 从句” 等表持续时长的状语连用。例：live（住）、work（工作）、keep（保留）、study（学习）、be（是）。
2.非延续性动词是瞬间完成、无法持续的动作（如 “买”“离开”），动作瞬间完成，不能直接与 “for + 时间段”“since” 连用（因为动作无法持续）。例：buy（买）、join（加入）、die（死亡）、leave（离开）、borrow（借）。

These days, teenagers are greatly influenced（影响）by the media（媒体）. Many have watched thousands of hours of TV and short videos. That may be more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven't thought of the hours they spend using the internet and reading newspapers.
However, several studies have shown a problem: Today's teenagers lack media literacy （认知能力）. In other words, they have trouble thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 per cent of them couldn't tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.
Stanford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gives an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One focuses on the bad road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. "With a news story, news stations tell you what they feel is the important details. These details mostly show the ideas of the news editor（编辑）,"said John."A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time."
Some experts think school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone-from parents to reporters-should help teenagers learn the skills.
As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts advise the age of 12.
But some easy ideas can be taught even earlier. "It's never too early to start learning media literacy," John said.
4. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that teenagers today spend _____.
A. enough time with their teachers at school B. too much time watching TV and short videos
C. fewer hours reading newspapers at home D. more time using the internet than watching TV
5. The underlined word "lack" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_____".
A. not having enough B. being good at
C. not having time for D. not being interested in
6. A person who has media literacy _____ about a news story.
A. should have the same ideas as others B. could think about the good and bad sides
C. knows about all the important details D. agrees with the ideas of the news editor
7. Professor Kevin John would agree that _____.
A. children shouldn't get in touch with the media
B. everyone should help children learn different skills
C. children should be taught media literacy as early as possible
D. news editors should report the news children are interested in
8. The main idea of the passage is _____.
A. how to improve teenagers' media literacy B. where teenagers can learn media literacy
C. what kinds of media teenagers use most often D. why teenagers should have media literacy

Life is full of choices and decisions. 26
First, it’s better to make a decision quickly than avoid it for a month because you’re afraid of choosing. 27 Also, some choices usually have time limits. So to keep our brains from getting too tired, we needn’t think about the cost of every single choice. Narrow down the list and try comparing only the best two or three.
Next, think about the value and cost of each choice. 28 Or better yet, create a scorecard（积分卡）, on which you give out bigger point values to what you think is more important. This way you can tell if one huge advantage is more important than a group of little disadvantages.
Then, stay calm and give yourself some space. You don’t want to delay (延迟) for weeks, but if you’re about to make a hasty (仓促的) decision, you may end up picking something you regret. 29 And it might take you a few days for major choices, like choosing your ideal high school.
30 Why Because it’s good to get a fresh way of thinking from others who are not as worried as you. Consider their opinions (观点) even if they are not what you want to hear. You need to take different opinions into consideration so that you will make a wise decision.
A．You’ll need at least one night to “sleep on it”.
B．And you don’t have to make a decision alone.
C．They are the best chances to show your personality.
D．These ways of letting out what you are feeling are helpful.
E．It’s very tiring to think things over but fail to decide in time.
F．To do that, you can make a list of advantages and disadvantages.
G．Here are some steps to help you make wise decisions.

Technology has done wonders for our world, from development in medicine, travel, to our day-to-day lives. It has greatly changed how society works and how we connect with each other However, as we fully welcome technology, a question comes up: Are we losing our ability （本领） to be creative ①
On one hand, technology supports creativity. Tools like design apps, social media, and online platforms（平台） help people turn ideas into reality. For example, businesses use creative ads to share new products, while artists use digital （数码的） tools to create artworks themselves. ② Technology encourages innovative thinking and problem-solving.
On the other hand, there are downsides. Many people depend too heavily on computers for tasks like calculations（计算）,reducing their need to think for themselves. Others spend hours looking at screens（屏幕）, leaving little time for creative activities. ③
So, how can we balance technology and creativity Here are some simple steps:
1. Limit（限制）screen time. Turn off useless notifications（通知）or use "Do Not Disturb（打扰）"mode
to focus on real-world tasks.
2. Spend time outdoors. A daily walk in nature clears your mind and brings fresh ideas.
3. Try screen-free hobbies. Reading, travelling, or drawing lets you explore ideas without technology.
The future of creativity depends on our choices. Will you put your phone down during meals Will you try to find joy beyond screens ④ Small actions today can improve the relationship between technology and creativity.
5. The writer begins this article by _____.
A. telling a story B. showing the reasons C. listing some examples D. raising a question

D. To tell the relationship between business and creativity.
7. The sentence "Over time, this habit can make our natural creativity become weak." should be put in "_______".
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
