from time to time意为“时不时,时而”,等于at times, sometimes。
a bit意为“有一点点”,修饰形容词。如:a bit lonely 有一点孤单
a bit of用来修饰名词。如:a bit of music 一点音乐
6. 现在完成时
现在完成时由助动词have/has后面跟过去分词组成。
现在完成时的两种用法。
(a)一直继续到现在的动作和情况。
我们经常用简单的现在完成时来表示过去开始的动作和情况,这个动作和情况一直延续到现在。
I have lived in Greece since 1976.
We have known each other for a long time.
(b)已经完成的动作和事情
现在完成时常常用来表示已经全部完结的,过去的动作和事情,只是在过去的事情对现在仍有意思是才这么用。
The President has been assassinated. (The president is dead now)
I can’t go on holiday because I have broken my leg. (My leg is broken.)
现在完成时常常与不定的时间副词或表示时间的词组连用。如;
ever, never; before; yet; already; all this year; all my life; so far; during the 20th century; recently; lately; since; for 等等
请注意,since 后面跟着提到某一点时间。而for后面跟着提到一段时间。
She has worked here since 1948.
She has worked here for more than 50 years.
7. I was excited even though we had to wait for two hours before we could get into the house.尽管我们在进入房子以前不得不等上两个小时,我还是很兴奋的。

妈妈和我一到就去了Hello Kitty的小屋。
As soon as 意为“一……就……”。如:
All of us screamed as soon as we saw the famous star.

当主句是将来时时,as soon as 引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时。
I will call you as soon as I arrive in Beijing.
Please write to me as soon as you get to Shanghai.
You can see a lovely bag as soon as you open that box.
10. 过去进行时
过去进行时表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作或发生的事,或者表示过去某一阶段一直在进行的动作。
1)过去进行时的基本结构是,was/were+现在分词,否定句是was/were not+现在分词,疑问句是 was/were调到主语前面。如:
I was doing my homework at 9 yesterday evening.
My parents were watching TV at this time yesterday.
2)连词when , while与过去进行时。
A. 当两个延续性动作同时进行时,可以在两个句子中都用过去进行时,并用“while”把它们连接起来。如:My mother was cooking while my father was reading newspapers.
He was sleeping while we were playing cards.
B.当延续性动作进行的过程中发生了短暂性动作,可以用“when”或”while”来连接这两个动作,较长的动作用过去进行时表示,较短的动作用一般过去时表示, “when”和 “while”都可以和延续性动词连用,但短暂性动词只能和 “when” 连用。如:
When mother came home, I was cleaning my bedroom. (我们不能用while替换when, 因为come是一个短暂性动词)
When Simon arrived, Millie was reading a book.
The phone rang while I was having my breakfast.
Hello Kitty waved to the visitors while she was dancing to the music.
11. He is a thirteen-year-old boy who loves traveling.
他是一个喜欢旅游的十三岁的小男孩。
a thirteen-year-old boy的意思为“一个十三岁的男孩”。 thirteen-year-old是一个合成的形容词,year不必用复数,并且这个词一般只能放在名词前面,而thirteen years old则是一个短语,一般放在be动词后面,如:He is 13 years old.
从“They have a six-month-old baby at home.” 这句话中,我们可以知道“The baby is six months old.”。
与此类似的结构:a two-thousand-word letter;a ten-day journey
12. How often do you use your computer to search for information
你多久一次用你的电脑搜索信息?
意思是查找信息,search for 的宾语一般为查找的对象,而不是被查找的人或场所,而search的宾语为被查找的人或场所。如:The police searched the woods for the lost child.
13. A new educational CD-ROM called “Around the world in Eight Hours” has just come out. 一个新的叫做“八小时环游世界”的教育光盘刚刚发行了。
Come out在句中的意思是“发行”,此外,come out还有很多不同的含义
如: * 出现:The stars came out as soon as it was dark.
* 传开:The news came out that the king was very ill.
* (照片)冲印:The photos I took didn’t come out.
* 结果是: The answer to the sum came out wrong.
14. You will play the role of Itchy Feet. 你将扮演“痒痒脚”的角色。
play the role: 扮演……的角色
play 可以组成很多动词词组,如:
play cards:We often meet in the new park to play cards and Chinese chess.
play football: Do you like playing football
play the piano: She is good at playing the piane.
play jokes on: On April Fool’s Day, we play jokes on our friends and family members.
play with fire It is very dangerous to play with fire, children!
15.被动语态
1)结构和含义:“Be + 过去分词”表示“被……”。 通常在被动结构后还可接“by + 行为主体”,说明什么人或什么东西做了某事。
如:--- What is this jumper made of --- It’s made of wool.
--- 这件套头衫是什么料的? --- 它是用羊毛做成的。
I was asked to meet the head of that company. 我被叫去见见那家公司的领导。
Thousands of beaches are polluted. 几千处海滩被污染了。
The door was broken by the naughty boy. 门被那个调皮的男孩弄破了。
The door was broken by a stone. 门被一块石头打破了。
2)不使用被动语态的动词:系动词、happen、take place、sell well、hang(挂)等。
如:This sweater feels soft. 这件毛衣感觉上去软软的。
When did the traffic accident happen 这起交通事故是什么时候发生的?
I’m glad to hear that the cameras made in our factory are selling well now.
我高兴地听说我们厂生产的照相机如今的销路很好。
Whose coat is hanging here 谁的外套挂在了这儿?
3)有些词组使用到被动语态中会发生变化。如,make somebody do something(使某人干某事),let somebody do something(让某人干某事),see somebody do something(看见某人干某事),hear somebody do something(听见某人干某事)等。以上这些短语在被动语态中均必须把第二个动词由原形变为动词不定式形式。
如:The joke made me laugh. 改为被动形式是:I was made to laugh by the joke.
People often see him beat his son. 改为被动形式是:He is often seen to beat his son.
16. I spend about two hours a day doing my homework.
我一天花大约两个小时做回家作业。
spend… (in) doing something 意思是“花(时间、钱)干某事”,后面的动词必须使用动词的ing形式,介词in可省略。另外,spend… on something 意思是“在某事/某物上花(时间、钱)”。有时,两者可以替换使用。
如:My mother spends an hour (in) cooking supper every day.
My mother spends an hour on supper every day. 我妈妈每天花一小时烧晚饭。
How much will you spend (in) decorating your new house
How much will you spend on your new house 你要在装修新房上花多少钱?
另外,用于表达“花(时间)干某事”的,还有句型“It takes somebody (一段时间) to do something.”; 用于表达“花(钱)干某事”的,还有句型“something costs somebody (钱)” “it costs somebody (钱) to do something”或“pay (钱) for something”。
如:It takes my mother an hour to cook supper every day.
How much will your new house cost you
How much will it cost you to decorate your new house
I will pay much for my new house.
典 例 解 析
1. I have already ______ the magazine for 2 weeks. I must return it to the library today.
A.lent B. bought C. borrowed D. kept
解析:答案选D。
这是一句现在完成时的句子,表示过去开始持续到现在的行为,for 表示一段时间,后接时间长度,本句的意思应为:这本杂志我已经借了两个星期了。在这样的时间状语为“for+时间长度”的句子里,谓语动词要有可持续性,而不能为短暂性动词,因此,本题只能选D。因为“lent”, “bought”, “borrowed”均为短暂性动词,且 “bought”, “lent” 与句义不符。故选D。
下面列出一些短暂性动词的持续性表达:
arrive---be in borrow---keep buy---have fall ill---be ill
join---be in leave---be away from begin---be on die---be dead等等
2. ---Where are the children
--- They ________ to Beijing.
A. have been B. have gone C. have left D. have arrived
解析:答案选B。
本题首先可排除C,D选项。“离开此地去北京”为“leave for Beijing”, “到达北京”为 “arrive in Beijing”. 然后再看A,B 选项,“ have been to” 意思是“去过某地”,表示曾经去过某地,现在已经回来或到其他地方,目前人已不在那里。 “have gone to”意思是“去了某地“, 表示人正去那里或已在去那里的途中。本题中,孩子们不在说话人所在的地方,所以应该选择B, 表示他们已经去了北京或在去北京的途中。故选B。
3. --- _______ has he taught English in this school
---For 2 years.
A. How long B. When C. How soon D. How often
解析:答案选A。
“How long” 问的是“一段时间”,这句话的意思是,他在这所学校教英语多久了,回答为“两年了。””How long”可与现在完成时一起用。”When” 问的是一个时间点,可以和将来时,过去时连用,有时也可以和进行时放在一起用,但“When”不能和完成时一起使用。”How soon” 意思是“多久以后”,用在将来时前面,而“How often” 问的是一个频率,可解释为 “多久一次”,回答多为“Once a week.” “Twice a month”等等。故选A。
4. ---Do you still write to your friends these days
No. But I used ______ that when I was at school.
A. do B. did C. to doing D. to do’
解析:答案选D。
本题设计到“used”的几个不同用法,”be used to doing sth.”表示 “习惯于做某事”, “used to do sth.” 表示 “过去常常做某事”,而 “be used to do sth.”则表示 “被用来做某事”,主语多为 “sth.”.本题 “used”前面没有be动词,再加上说的是过去我在学校里的事情,所以采用 “used to do sth.”这个词组,整句话的意思就是,当我在学校里的时候,我常常那么做。故选D。
5. She was very _____________ at the _________ news.
A. surprised; surprising B. surprised; surprised
C. surprising; surprised D. surprising; surprising
解析:答案选A。
“be surprised at sth.” 表示 “对……感到惊奇”,主语是 “somebody”,
“surprising”表示 “令人惊奇的”, 主语多为 “something”, 句子的意思是,她对“这个令人惊奇的消息感到很惊奇”。与此想类似的词语还有一些,如“exciting 另人激动的”,“excited感到激动”,又如“interesting 有趣的”,“interested 感兴趣的”等等。故选A。
6. ______ he is only a five-year-old boy, he knows a lot about Chinese history.
A. Although B. Because C. Since D. But
解析:答案选A。
“Although”意思是“尽管,虽然”,填入符合题意,虽然在中文里“虽然……但是……”常成对使用,但在英语中,“although”和 “but”不可同时使用,一句句子里,用了 “although”就不用“but”,用了 “but”就不用 “although”,同理的还有 “because”和 “so”。C选项since 有 “自从”的意思,也有“因为”的意思,本题中,B,C,D填入句子都无逻辑关系。故选A。
7. The girl sat in the corner ________ quietly ______ none of us noticed she was there.
A. such; that B. too; to C. so; that D. very; that
解析:答案选C。
“so……that……”的意思是“如此……以至于……”,“so”修饰形容词或副词,而 “that”后面带一个从句。A选项中, “such”应该修饰名词,B选项中, “too……to……”表示“太……以至于不能……”, “too”可修饰形容词或副词,而 “to”后面不能跟从句,只能跟动词不定式,因此不能选择B。故选C。
8. ______ of them has arrived. So _____ has arrived on time.
A. Nobody; none B. No one; nobody C. None; no one D. None; not any one
解析:答案选C。
“nobody”和 “no one”意思都是 “没有人”,符合题意,但 “nobody”和 “no one”都只能直接做主语,后面不能跟限定范围的 “of them”,所以A,B选项可以排除, “none”的意思是 “not a single one: 一个也没有”, 可以指人,也可以指物,后面可以加 “of sb.”,所以综合起来考虑,本题应该选择C,需要指出的是, “none of ……” 后面的谓语动词形式可以是单数形式也可以是复数形式。故选C。
9. The old men must _________ politely.
A. be spoken B. be spoken to C. spoke D. speak to
解析:答案选B。
这是一句被动语态的句子,做这题之前先要弄清句子的含义,句子的意思不是老人对别人说话要有礼貌,而应该是,对老人说话要有礼貌,句子用了被动语态,把“老人”这个对象强调了一下,那么,我们就可以排除C和D,在A和B中,到底要不要在 “be spoken” 后面加上 “to”呢?答案是要的,因为在主动语态中, “speak to the old men” 才是对老人讲话的意思,那么改成被动语态,这个 “to”当然是不能省的。故选B。
10. It is impossible ______ such a little girl _____ it in such a short time.
A. to; to finish B. of; finishing C. for; to finish D. with; finish
解析:答案选C。
本题的句型结构为: “It is + adj. +for somebody +to do something” 意思是“对某人来说,做某事怎么样”,需要指出的是,这个句型中的形容词多为 “impossible”, “important”, “difficult”, “hard”, “necessary” 等形容整件事情的词语,在9A中,我们还学到了一个句型结构: “It is +adj. +of somebody +to do something”, 在9A的这个结构里,形容词修饰的是 “sb.”的特性,常见的有 “kind, nice, clever, creative, imaginative, smart, humorous”等等,这两个不同的句型结构特别要引起注意。故选C。

David hated spending money. When he had to buy something in a shop, he always tried his best to knock down the price, even for the cheapest things. If he wanted to buy a bottle of orange, for example, and the shopkeeper asked for $2, David would say, “Make it $1.90 and I’ll buy it.” Sometimes the shopkeepers agreed to reduce their prices a little. “What’s ten cents ” they asked themselves. “If it makes this man happy, it won’t hurt me very much.” In this way David saved a few cents here and a few cents there, and by the end of the year he had saved several hundred dollars.
One day he had a very bad toothache and had to go to the dentist. The dentist looked at the tooth and said, “This tooth will have to come out. It’s too serious to save.” “How much must I pay you to take out a tooth ” David asked. “Forty dollars,” the dentist said. “How long will it take you to pull out the tooth ” he asked. “About two minutes,” the dentist answered. “Forty dollars for two minutes’ work!” he shouted, “That’s robbery (抢劫).” The dentist smiled. “You’re right,” she said. “Thank you for telling me. I’ll pull your tooth out very slowly. How about if I take half an hour ”

“Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather,” Englishmen often say. This really lets us know something about England and it is true. From these words we see Englishmen believe that what happens in England is not the same as what happens in other places. And any foreigner staying in the country for longer than a few days will be sure of the truth of the words. Only in England, it has been said, can one go through four seasons in one day. The day may begin as a gentle spring morning, an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and it may rain heavily. At noon it may become winter and the temperature may drop by eight or more degrees. And then in the late afternoon the sky will clear up, the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer. In England one can go through almost every kind of weather except the best or the worst. ( some foreigners seem to think that for ten months of the year the country is covered by fog, this is not true.) We never know when the different kinds of weather will occur(发生). Not only do we get a few different kinds of weather in one day, but we may get a winter weather in summer and a summer weather in winter.
( ) 1. “Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather,” What does this mean
A. England people like their weather very much.
B. In England there’s only one season in a year.
C. In England the weather is always changeable.
( ) 2. What does the writer mean by “one can go through four seasons in one day
A. English weather is always bad.
B. English weather is most changeable.
C. There are more than four seasons in England.
( ) 3. How many seasons can one actually go through in England in one day according to the paragraph(段落)
A. 3 B. 4 C. 2
( ) 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. There is not extreme(极端)weather in England.
B. Different kinds of weather may occur suddenly.
C. For ten months of the year England is covered by fog.
( ) 5. What question may the passage answer
A. What is weather B. What is English weather like
C. What’s the difference between climate and weather

During the last ten years, our cities were full of cars, buses and trucks. Now the streets are completely crowded and it is very difficult to drive a car along them. Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights. What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years Will many highways be built across them With big highways cutting across them, full of noisy, dirty cars and trucks, our cities are going to be awful places. How can we solve the problem There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars. In 1971, for example, the authorities(官方)in Rome began an interesting experiment: passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets. In Stockholm there was another experiment: people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, train or tram all over the city. In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles(机动车)and pedestrians are safe there. In London there is another experiment: part of the street is for buses only, so the buses can travel fast. There are no cars or taxis in front of them.
( ) 6. What does the writer worry about in a big city
A. The number of traffic lights. B. The shortage(缺点)of buses.
C. The lack of highways. D. The traffic is very crowded.
( ) 7. Which city once experimented on a completely free bus service
A. London B. Paris C. Rome D. Stock
( ) 8. Which city once experimented on a very cheap bus service
A. London B. Stockholm C. Rome D. None of the above
( ) 9. In many cities people are much safer because ___________.
A. no traffic is allowed in some streets B. traffic is computer controlled
C. cars move very slowly D. only one way streets are open to traffic
( ) 10. In Chinese “pedestrians” means ___________.
A. 司机 B. 行人 C. 旅客 D. 动物

典 例 解 析
1. I am sorry I can’t ________ the name of the TV play.
A. think hard B. think about C. think over D. think of
解析:答案选D。
A选项 “think hard” 意思是 “冥思苦想”,后面一般不跟名词或名词短语,B选项 “think about” 意思是“考虑”,填入句中并不通顺,C选项 “think over”意思是 “将某事想一想,考虑再考虑”,比 “think about” 来的慎重,但也不符合句意,因此只有D 选项有 “记起来,想起来”的意思,最符合句意。故选D。
2. The boy usually spends his spare time _______ football.
A. play B. playing C. to play D. plays
解析:答案选B。
“spend” 的意思是 “花费”,可以花费时间,有可以花费金钱。有两个常见的用法,一个是 “spend time/money (in) doing something”,其中 “in”可以省略,动词用 “v.+ing” 形式,另一个是 “spend time/money on somthing.”, 没有动词的话,介词用 “on”, 本题中,采用第一种用法,所以应该选择B, “spend” 和 “take”的同义句改写问题将在第19题中详细举例解释。故选B。
3. I ______ you will write me back soon.
A. wish B. need C. want D. hope
解析:答案选D。
“hope” 和 “wish” 都表示 “愿望”,它们的区别在于, “hope”表示可以实现的愿望,而 “wish”则表示不大可能实现的愿望,而且, “wish”后面跟的从句要用虚拟语态,因此,本题选 “hope”, 因 “尽快写信给我”是完全可以实现的愿望,B选项need,意思是 “需要”,可以做情态动词,后跟动词原形,也可以做实意动词,后面加动词不定式, “need to do something”, “want”意思是 “想”,后面同样跟动词不定式, “want to do something”, “want”, “need”后面一般都不跟从句,所以B、C不能选。故选D。
4. The ship ________ radio signals for help before it sank.
A. gave off B. gave out C. gave up D. gave away
解析:答案选B。
“give out”的意思在本题中是 “发出信号”, “give out”还有 “分发”的意思,如8B第四单元的 “give out leaflets” 就是 “分发传单”的意思。 “give off”是 “发散,放出”的意思,如:give off a bad smell, 发出臭味。 “give up”意思是 “放弃”,如:give up smoking, 戒烟。 “give away” 意思是 “泄露秘密”或者 “赠送,捐赠”。此外,还有一个很常用的词组 “give in”,意思是 “投降”。故选B。
5. The man was remembered as a hero ______ he gave his life for his country.
A. due to B. because of C. because D. thanks to
解析:答案选C。
“because of”和 “because”都是因为的意思,区别在于, “because”后面跟从句而 “because of”后面跟名词,名词短语或代词,本题中,“他把生命献给了他的祖国”是一个句子,所以应当选C,另外, “due to”意思是 “应给的”,“欠的”,是一种比较正式的用法,如:A lot of money is due to you. 我们欠你很多钱。 “thanks to”的意思和 “because of”非常接近,还含有 “多亏”的意思,当然,在本题中也不能选。故选C。
6. Must we finish the work today No, you ____.
A. mustn’t B. don’t have C. don’t have to D. needn’t to
解析:答案选C。
本题中 “must” 的意思是 “必须”,回答 “不,你不必。”,可以用 “No, you needn’t.”, 但不能用 “No, you mustn’t.”,因为 “mustn’t”的意思不是 “不必”,而是 “不可以”,和题意不符合。所以A不能选。D选项中, “need”是形态动词,后面应该跟动词原形而不能加 “to”, 所以D也不对。而C选项中, “have to” 意思是 “必须”,前面加上否定, “不是必须”,就是 “不必”的意思。故选C。
7. Teaching young children is _______, but the teachers always _____.
A. a hard work; hard work B. hard work; work hard
C. a hard work; work hard D. hard work; hard work
解析:答案选B。
本题体现了 “hard”和 “work”的两个不同词性。前半句中, “hard”是个形容词,意思是 “艰苦的”,相当于 “difficult”, “work”是不可数名词,所以前面不能加 “a”. 后半句中, “hard”是个副词,而 “work”是动词,副词应该跟在动词后面修饰动词,所以综上所述,故选B。
8. Yesterday I _____ TV ______ a stranger broke in.
A. watched; while B. was watching; when
C. watched; when D. was watching; while
解析:答案选B。
主句用的是过去进行时,表示 “昨天我正在看电视”, “when”的意思是 “就在那个时候”, “broke in”是 “闯入”的意思,是一个短暂性的动作,所以不能用 “while”引出从句。故选B。
9. ---You’d better hurry, my dear.
--- Just a minute. It won’t _____ me much time to change.
A. spend B. take C. cost D. pay
解析:答案选B。
“spend some time doing something.”相当于 “It takes somebody some time to do something”, “spend”前的主语是人,而 “take”前的主语是物。题中 “It won’t take me much time to change.” 就相当于 “I won’t spend much time changing.” 意思都是,我不会花很多时间换衣服。 “cost”多用于 “花费(多少钱)”,主语也是物,如:It will cost you $200 to fly to Paris. “pay”是 “付钱”的意思,主语是人。如:I paid 2 yuan for that book。故选B。
10. Will it be a __________
A. successful B. succeed C. success D. succeeded
解析:答案选C。
本题需要一个名词,四个选项中,只有C是名词,A为形容词,B是动词。Success 作为 “成功,好结果”等时,都是不可数名词,但在本题中, “success”是一个可是名词,因为它的意思是 “成功的人”或 “成功的事情”。故选C。

Thomas Alva Edison was given more patents on inventions than any other Americans. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect(尊敬) for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe(实行) a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets and factories.
Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion(混乱). A blackout was out of the question.
On the day of Edison’s funeral(葬礼), many people silently dimmed(使暗淡) their light. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.

A. turn off the lights in factories and schools

The great fire of 1666 started in the house of a person who made bread in Pudding Lane, near London Bridge. In four days it destroyed four-fifths of the city as it then was, where most of the houses were made of wood. Thirteen thousand houses including one hundred churches, the Royal Exchange, even the Guild-hall(会馆) itself went up in the fire. About 100,000 people became homeless. Yet in about ten years all the houses had been rebuilt, and all the famous buildings, too.
Why could the fire cause such great pain and loss In the early days there were no teams of men who put out fires. Since then firemen were made up and Fire Service Stations were developed quickly.
