【难点讲解】
1. The world we live in today is full of mysteries unsolved even by today’s advanced science and technology.
我们生活的世界里充满了谜团, 这些谜团即使是当今发达的科学技术也无法解开。
过去分词短语unsolved even by today’s advanced science and technology是mysteries的定语,它的作用相当于定语从句which are unsolved even by today’s advanced science and technology。当定语从句是由关系代词+be动词+过去分词或现在分词短语构成时,关系代词和be动词可以省略。例如:
Stories (which were) made up by him didn’t sound very convincing.
People (who are) living in these areas believe in ghosts.
Advanced 先进的、发达的。
2. Police in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing in Dover, New Hampshire.
美国警方现已加紧对一名15岁失踪男孩的搜索,该男孩于两天前在新罕布什尔州的多佛市失踪。
step up加紧,如: step up production, step up the campaign, step up the lobby(加紧游说)
search在句中作名词,常见词组有one’s/the search for(对…的搜索、探求),in search of(为了寻求)。例如:
His search for truth has led to one discovery after another.
He risked his life in search of truth.
Police是集体名词,形式上永远是单数,和复数动词连用。
3. People have shown great interest in his disappearance due to sighting of puzzling lights in the sky and reports of alien visits around the time of his disappearance.
公众对男孩的失踪表现出极大的兴趣,原因是在他失踪前后有人声称看到天空中出现令人迷惑不解的亮光,还有关于外星人造访地球的报道。
4. Standing inside were lots of white-skinned, strange-looking creatures with large black eyes.
(飞碟)里面站着许多白皮肤、样子奇怪、长着黑色大眼睛的生物。
这是个倒装句,这句话的正常语序是:Lots of white-skinned, strange-looking creatures with large black eyes were standing inside. 当句子的主语部分太长,或说话人想要强调对动作的描写时,可以把现在分词短语和主语部分的位置交换,形成“现在分词短语+be动词+主语部分”的倒装结构。例如:
Lying there was a thin, black woman with untidy hair and stony face.
Coming up is a talk show by our famous host Peter Pan.
white-skinned白皮肤的,这是一个由形容词+名词+ed构成的复合形容词,中学阶段常见的还有: kind-hearted, bold-faced, ill-tempered等。
strange-looking样子奇怪的。形容词/副词+动词+ing也可以构成的复合形容词,例如:good-looking, easy-going(好相处的), never-ending, ever-lasting.
5. believe和believe in
believe+sb表示“相信某人的话”,believe+sth表示“相信某事的真实性”。例如:
I believe George, he has never told a lie.
Do you believe his story
believe in+sb表示“信任某人”,believe in+sth表示“相信某事的存在、信仰某种学说或宗教”。例如:
I believe in Ed, he will never let me down (让我失望).
I don’t believe in UFO.
He believes in Maxism.
6. go作为系动词用法小结:
1) 表示“变得”,常和有关颜色、状态、质地的形容词或词组连用,例如:
a. His hair has gone gray.
b. He went purple(发紫)with anger.
c. The company went broke (破产)after such a heavy loss.
d. Milk goes bad (变质)very easily in hot weather.
e. The children went wild with excitement (高兴地发狂).
f. The project can be finished in a week if nothing goes wrong.
2) 表示“选择….样的方式、采用….的方法”,例如:go natural回归自然, go international国际化, go native融入当地社会, go green追求绿色生活。
3) 表示“未受到…”, 常和un+过去分词构成的形容词unpunished/ unnoticed/ unchallenged/ uncommented等连用,相当于“pass/get away without being+过去分词”,例如:
a. Many important details have gone unnoticed while he was listening.
b. If his cheating goes unpunished, more students will follow suit(跟着学).

Part three grammar and usage
Present perfect tense & Present perfect continuous tense
现在完成时
现在完成时用来表示之前已发生或完成的动作或状 态,其结果的确和现在有联系。动作或状态发生在过去 但它的影响现在还存在;也可表示持续到现在的动作或 状态。其构成: have (has) +过去分词。
现在完成时的时间状语
for, since, so far, ever, never, just, yet,till / until, up to now, in past years, always
用于现在完成时的句型
1)It is the first / second time…. that…结构中的从句部分,用现在完成时。
It is the first time that I have visited the city.
It was the third time that the boy had been late.
2)This is the… that…结构,that 从句要用现在完成时.
This is the best film that I've (ever) seen.
这是我看过的最好的电影。
This is the first time (that) I've heard him sing. 这是我第一次听他唱歌。
典型例题
(1) ---Do you know our town at all
---No, this is the first time I ___ here.
A. was B. have been C. came D. am coming
答案B. This is the first time 后面所加从句应为现在完成时,故选B。
(2) ---Have you ____ been to our town before
---No, it's the first time I ___ here.
A. even, come B. even, have come C. ever, come D. ever, have come
答案D. ever意为曾经或无论何时,反意词为never,此两词常用于完成时。 This is the largest fish I have ever seen. It is / was the first time +that-clause 的句型中,从句要用完成时。
注意:非延续性动词的否定形式可以与表示延续时间的状语连用。即动作不发生的状态是可以持续的。
(错)I have received his letter for a month.
(对)I haven't received his letter for almost a month.
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 been 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 moth! er 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 ( http: / / www. / chn / 16index.htm" \t "_blank )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 ( http: / / www. / chn / 16index.htm" \t "_blank )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”。
1. A. 用 already或 yet
1) Have they taken down the old pictures ______ No, not ___________.
2) Most of us have finished our compositions ________
