语法学习：
现在完成时的用法
一、构成：助动词have / has＋p.p（动词的过去分词）
二、用法：现在完成时既涉及过去，又联系现在。用法一：表示过去发生或已经完成的某一动作对现在造成的影响或结果。常与just（刚刚），already（已经），never（从来没有），ever（曾经），before（以前），yet（仍然），once（一次），twice（两次），many times（很多次），how many times（多少次），so far（迄今为止），during the past（last）three years（最近三年来）等连用。
※??? 副词的位置：①just常用于肯定句中，放在have / has后，He has just come .
②never表示否定, 放在have / has后, He has never visited the Great Wall.
③ever用于疑问句中,句型为: Have / Has＋主语＋ever ＋过去分词？“…曾经……过吗？”用于询问某人过去的经历。Have you ever been to the farm？
④before用于句末，The woman has never heard of that before.
⑤yet 用于句末或not 之后.Has the train arrived yet? No, not yet.
⑥already用于肯定句, have / has 之后或句末.We have already finished it.
⑦so far用于句首或句末. So far, we have visited the moon.
用法二：表示过去已经开始，一直延续到现在的动作或状态。时间状语有：
①??? for＋表示一段时间的词语I have taught English for 19 years。
②??? since＋表示过去时间点的词语He has been at this school since 1986.
③??? since＋表示过去的时间状语从句I have lived here since I was born.
④??? since＋一段时间＋ago. I have known him since 20 years ago.
三、现在完成时态中可以和表示一段时间状语（for，since，how long, all one’s life）连用的动词必须是表示延续的情况或动作的动词，即延续性动词。如：be，have，know，live，work，study，learn，teach，keep，speak，talk，draw，wait，wear，walk，sleep，drive，write，do，clean等。
I have been a teacher for nearly 20 years. How long has he lived here?
四、延续性动词的现在完成时可和包括“现在”在内的（到说话时仍未结束）表示一段时间的状语连用。如this morning，today，this week，these days
He has been to Beijing three times this year. He has written two letters this morning.（说话时间在上午）He wrote two letters this morning.（说话时间在下午或晚上）
五、英语中还有一些动词的意义决定它们所表示的动作不能延续,只是一瞬间
就结束的动作,这类动词叫做“非延续性动词”，常见的有：come，go，arrive，reach，see，hear，close，open，leave，begin，start，lose，buy，fall，join，die，get up，become，borrow，lend，find，finish，receive等。这些动词可用于现在完成时，说明某个动作的结果还存在，但不能和表示一段时间的状语（how long，for，since）连用。He has come back.（√）He has come back for two hours.（×）
※??? 但在否定句中，非延续性动词也可用表示一段时间的状语来修饰，如
I haven’t heard from my father for a long time. We haven’t seen him since 1999.
六、当终止性动词（非延续性动词）与表示一段时间的状语（how long，since，for， all one’s life）相矛盾时,改正错句的方法有如下几种:
（1）用副词ago把现在完成时的句子改为一般过去时.
He has come back for two weeks.（错）改为:He came back two weeks ago.（正）
I have lost my bike for ten days. （错）改为:I lost my bike ten days ago. （正）
（2）用“It is / has been＋时间＋since＋一般过去时态”句型来改写。
He has joined the League for 3 years. （错）It is 3 years since he joined the League.
I have bought the book for 5 days. （错）It is 5 days since I bought the book. （正）
He has died for 20 years. （错）It is 20 years since he died. （正）
（3）用“时间＋has passed＋since＋一般过去时态”句型来改写。
He has left home for 20 years. 改为:Twenty years has passed since he left home.
He has lost his pen for 2 days. 改为:Two days has passed since he lost his pen.
（4）用系表结构来改写.
He has died for 20 years. 改为: He has been dead for 20 years.
The factory has opened since 1999. 改为:The factory has been open since 1999.
How long has he left? 改为:How long has he been away?
（5）用相应的延续性动词替代非延续性动词。
He has bought the book for two weeks. 改为:He has had the book for two weeks.
常见的相应转换形式如下:
borrow / lend→keep, buy→have, finish / end→be over, arrive /come / go / move / reach /get to→be in /at / be here /be there, begin / start→be on , open→be open , close→be closed, die→be dead , leave→be away（from）,go to school→be in school / be a student, get up→be up, fall asleep→be asleep , fall ill→be ill, get to know→know, lose→be lost, become→be, return / come back / get back→be back, join→be in / be a…member, join the army→be in the army /be a soldier, receive / get a letter→have a letter , catch / get a cold→have a cold, begin to study→study,
他参军已有三年.He has joined the army for three years.（错）改为:
He has been in the army for three years / since three years ago.
He has been a soldier for three years / since three years ago.
He joined the army three years ago.
It is three years since he joined the army.
Three years has passed since he joined the army.
（1）He came to our village two years ago.
=He our village since two years ago.
（2）He left home three days ago=He home for 3 days.
（3）I bought the watch 2 weeks ago=I the watch since 2 weeks ago.
（4）It is 5 days since I borrowed the book=I the book for 5 days.
（5）The film has begun= The film for half an hour.
（6）I got to know him 10 years ago=I him for 10 years.

（8）Our school opened in 1960=Our school since 1960.

三、现在完成时和现在完成进行时的比较：
在比较这两个时态时，关键在于对现在完成进行时的基本概念是否理解，因为对于现在完成时我们已经有了一个基本的理解了。 现在完成进行时是一兼有现在完成时和现在进行时二者基本特点的时态。由于它有现在完成时的特点，所以它可以表示某一动作对现在产生的结果或影响。由于它有现在进行时的特点，所以它也可以表示某一动作的延续性、临时性、重复性、生动性乃至感彩。 现在就现在完成进行时的这些特点和现在完成时作一简单的比较： （1）现在完成进行时和现在完成时皆可表示动作对现在产生的结果，但前者所表示的结果是直接的，而后者所表示的则是最后的结果。如： We have heen cleaning the classroom．（a） We have cleaned the classroom．（b） （a）句可译为“我们打扫教室来着。”其直接结果可能是：我们身上都是灰。（b）句可以译为“我们把教室打扫过了。”其结果是：现在教室很清洁，可以用了。又，（a）句表示教室刚刚打扫过，（b）句则可能表示教室是昨天打扫的。 Be careful! John has been painting the door．（a） John has painted the door．（b） （a）句表示约翰刚刚把门油漆过，现在油漆还未干，所以你要小心。（b）句则无此含义，油漆可能已干了。 （2）现在完成进行时有时有延续性，现在完成时往往没有。如： They have been widening the road．（a） They have widened the road．（b） （a）句的意思是他们在加宽马路，但尚未完工。（b）句的意思则是已完工了。有时现在完成时有延续性（如一些属于持续体的动词），但无临时性质。如： Mr. Smith has been living in London since 1978．（a） Mr. Smith has lived in London since 1979．（b） （a）句有“史密斯先生在伦敦久居”的含义，（b）句则没有。 （3）但现在完成进行时并不总是具有临时的性质，如： My mother has been teaching English for twenty years．（a） My mother has taught English for twenty years.（b） （a）句在此并无临时性质，但较口语化。（b）句则较为正式。又，（a）句表示动作现在仍在继续．并将延续下去，（b）句的动作是否延续下去，须由上下文决定，但在一般情况下都是延续下去的。 （4）现在完成进行时往往表示动作在重复，现在完成时则常常不带重复性。如： Have you been meeting her lately？（a） Have you met her lately？（b） （a）句有“经常相会”之意，（b）句则没有。（b）句如与often，every day等时间状语连用，当然也表示动作在重复。 （5）现在完成进行时比较生动，有时含有明显的感彩，而现在完成时往往只说明一个事实，一种影响或结果，平铺直叙，没有什么感彩可言。如： What have you been doing？（a） What have you done？（b） （a）句表示惊异。（b）句只是一个问题。 Have you been waiting long？（a） Have you waited long？（b） （a）句较（b）句生动。又，（a）句比较口语化。 I have been wanting to meet you for long．（a） I have long wanted to meet you．（b） （a）句比（b）句更亲切，更有礼貌。 Recently Mary has been doing her work regularly．（a） Recently Mary has done her work regularly．（b） （a）句显然是在表扬玛丽。（b）只说明一个事实。 下面还有一例，颇为有趣: Who's been eating my apples？（a） Who's eaten my apples？（b） （a）句有强烈的感彩，表示愤怒不满，（b）句只是希望回答的一个问题。又，（a）句兼有进行时态，所以有“苹果未被全部吃光”的意思，（b）句是完成时态，说明“苹果一个不剩了”。 （6）在否定结构中，现在完成时所否定的是谓语动词，现在完成进行时所否定的是状语。如： He hasn't been speaking since three o'clock．（a） He hasn't spoken since three o'clock．（b） （a）句中所否定的不是has been speaking，而是 since three o'clock，其结构等于 He has been speaking not since three o'clock but since half past three．这是因为现在完成进行时本身是没有否定结构的原故。（b）句用的是现在完成时，而现在完成时是有否定结构的，所以（b）句中所否定的自然是has spoken，意即“从三点起他一直沉默不语，未发一言”。

五．阅读理解
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity (特性) of time and space and so on — but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.
By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.
Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the years following the First World War, honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics, and he was highly honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism (纳粹主义) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.
1.The first paragraph is mainly about _____.
A．a new outlook of the universe
B．the feelings of an American college president

D．the difficulty in teaching Einstein's theory

A．enjoyed world popularity
B．was the head of an academy
C．was a famous teacher

A．Einstein began to be accepted even by ordinary men

六、阅读理解
Could you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa. Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own. We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways — and with different motives.
In many countries, marriage is a practical matter. A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife. It also joins two families, which benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy. Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry.
Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals. Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple. In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Something old represents the past. Something new represents success in the future. Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family. And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.
In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical. The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing. The money is meant to bring kick and to help the young couple build their new life. In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home. Once they move in, they take good care of the tree and make it grow. The planting of the tree is a good metaphor (比喻) for marriage. A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.
1. Which of the following statements DOES NOT support the idea that marriage is a practical matter?
A．The couple may have a safe and stable home through their marriage.
B．The parents had better help their children choose whom to marry.
C．A marriage benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy.
D．A marriage brings children who will take care of the couple when they are old.
2. The word “rituals” (para.3, line 2) means _____.
A．forms

C．traditions
D．ceremonies
3. In a typical Western wedding, the bride wears something blue to ________.
A．seek good luck
B．represent the past
C．represent success in the future
D．remind her to be true to her husband
4. Although cultures differ in different countries, one thing in common when a young couple gets married is that _____.
A．people wish them to take care of each other
B．people wish them to get practical benefits from the marriage
C．people wish them to have good luck in their new life
D．people wish them to make money at the wedding ceremony

A．People across the world get married in different ways and for different reasons.
B．Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the young couple.

三、阅读理解
While popular in the U.S., the April Fool's Day tradition is even more prevalent in European countries, such as France and Great Britain. Although the roots of the traditional tricking are unclear, the French and the British both have claims on the origin of the celebration.
One theory holds that the first April Fool's Day was on April 1 of the year when King of France instituted (设立) the new calendar. This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April 1. Many people were reluctant to adjust to the new calendar and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on what had become the first day of April. Thus, they became the first April fools.
An English story about the day, however, holds that it began sometime during the 1200s. At the time, King John of England was in the habit of making a road out of nearly every path he walked regularly. The citizens of one particular farm village were aware of this. To avoid having their green pastures (牧场) disturbed with one of king's roads, they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside. The king sent a group of messengers (信使) to inform the villagers that they must remove the barrier. Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own. When the messengers arrived, they found what appeared to be a community of mad people, with people behaving in a strange manner, throwing things and running around wildly. The messengers, alarmed at what they found, reported to King John that these people were so mad as to be beyond punishment. So, the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the King. In Great Britain, tradition only allows April Fool's tricks from midnight to noon on April 1. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves.
1. Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?
A．April Fool's Day is more popular in the U.S.
B．April Fool's Day is more popular in France and Great Britain.
C．No one is sure where the tradition of celebrating April Fool's Day originated.
D．The celebration of April Fool's Day originated from both France and Great Britain.
2. What is the main idea of paragraph three?
A．How the tradition of celebrating April Fool's Day originated in Great Britain.
B．How the citizens of one particular farm village saved their land from the king.
C．King John of England wanted to make a road through one particular farm village.
D．In Great Britain, tradition allows April Fool's tricks from midnight to noon.

五、1. 解：C [解析]本题是主旨题 第一段的主题句是第一句“Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history”表明爱因斯坦对科学和历史都有极大的影响，而第二句说明了爱因斯坦使人们对世界观，对宇宙有了一个新的认识。因此选项为C。
2. 解：A [解析]本题是细节题 依据是第二段第一句话“By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame.”选项中A.enjoyed world popularity 符合题义。Popularity的意思与fame 的意思相似。
3. 解：D [解析]本题是细节题 本题可以用排除法，本题的依据是第三段。第三段表明爱因斯坦深受战争的影响“he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research ”而且最后一句“Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work...”也表明爱因斯坦在第一次世界大战期间研究工作实际上是停止了。因此选D。
4. 解：B [解析]本题是细节题，要用排除法 ，本题的依据是最后一段的第一句话“In the years following the First World War , honors were increasingly heaped on him.” Heap的意思就是“成堆，很多”和 “more and more”是近义词。
5. 解：C [解析]本题是推理题

21-25 BDDAA 26-30 ABBAD
1. 进行时态与always, all the time等连用，表示习惯性行为，且带有浓厚的感彩。此处可理解为“你总是丢三落四的”。
2. recently常与现在完成时或一般过去时连用。第二空应用一般现在时。
3. next time引导时间状语从句，而且其谓语动词常用一般现在时表示将来。
4. 由题意“他本来打算在会上发言，但……”可知应选D项。
5. Oh, I was talking to myself.意为“噢， 我（刚才）只是在自言自语”。
6. “乒乓球打得好”是一般情况，故用一般现在时。
9. 现在完成进行时可用于表示动作或状态从过去某一时间开始，一直持续到现在，有可能继续延续下去，也可能刚刚结束。本题使用现在完成进行时强调了动作的持续性和未完成性。
10. 此处用现在进行时来解释前面所说的话，意为“我猜你刚才一定很匆忙，毛衫都穿反了”。
11. 由宾语从句中的would fix可断定第一空用had expected（表示“过去本来期望”）；第二空用had intended（to do...），表示“过去本来打算（去做……）”。
14. 现在进行时可用于表示动作的渐进过程。又如：Her hair is getting grayer and grayer.她的头发正变得越来越花白。
15. 此空用将来进行时表示将来某一时间正在进行的动作。
16. 此处表示“前天之前艾利斯曾经去哪儿了？”故用过去完成时态。
18. Where do you think _____ he...?为双重疑问句，故第一空不填；第二空为过去发生的动作，故用一般过去时态。
21. He _____ to the radio with his eyes shut.后省略了when I entered the room。此处意为“（当我进入那个房间时，）他正闭着眼睛听收音机”。
22. 按时间表或日程表安排将要发生的事，常用一般现在时表示将来。
23. 题意为“火车将一直以目前的速度行驶直到今晚9点到达山脚下。”
24. 此处prefer意为“宁愿”，是表示人心理状态的动词，不宜用现在进行时态。
27. 某些动词，如：wash, lock, sell, wear, write, read, open, clean等常用一般现在时的主动语态来表示主语（通常是物）的内在品质或属性等。
28. “by+将来某一时间”常与将来完成时态连用。
29. 由答语中的“Not yet”可断定此题应选A。现在完成时态的用法之一是“表示过去某一时间发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果”。
