课件20张PPT。Unit 3 Language in use现在完成时（二）
1. 现在完成时的用法
当表示动作已经完成，并对现在有一定影响时，我们一般用现在完成时。同时，可分别用just,
already或yet加以强调或说明。如：
①I have already finished my work.
我已经完成了我的工作。 ②I haven’t learnt the word yet.
我还没有学这个单词。
③I have just finished my homework.
我刚刚做完家庭作业。 2. 常与现在完成时连用的时间副词的用法
1）already意为“已经”，常用于肯定句中，与完成时连用。一般位于助动词之后，实义动词之前，也可用于句末。already用于疑问句时，有惊讶之意。如：
①I have already eaten lunch.
我已经吃过午餐了。
②I have been there already.
我已经去过那儿了。
③You’re not leaving already, are you?
你已经不打算走了，是吗？ （2）yet意为“已经；还”，常用于疑问句和否定句中，在口语中一般置于句末。如：
Has Betty had her supper yet?
贝蒂吃过晚饭了吗？
（3）ever意为“曾经”，位于助动词之后，实义动词之前。如：
It was the best vacation we’ve ever had.
这是我们度过的最好的假期。

（7）so far意为“至今”，表示从过去到现在的这个时间段。如：
We have learnt 2,000 new words so far.
到目前为止，我们已经学了2 000个新单词。 3. 现在完成时与一般过去时的区别
（1）现在完成时与一般过去时所表示的动作都发生在过去。但现在完成时强调这一动作与现在的关系，即对现在产生的结果、影响等；而一般过去时只表示过去的事实，不表示和现在的关系。如：
He visited Guilin in 1998.
他1998年游览过桂林。（只说明去桂林的时间）
一般过去时的时间状语有：...year（s）ago , yesterday , the day before yesterday,last week, in 2000,just now, at the age of 9等。 （2）现在完成时表示动作发生在过去，对现在造成的影响或产生的结果，不与确定的过去时间状语连用。如：
Jill has bought a new computer.
吉尔买了一台新电脑。（着重点是现在有了一台新电脑）
现在完成时的时间状语有：ever, already, never, yet, for+时间段, recently, since, in the last/past five years, twice等。试比较：

语法精选
1. reach v. 到达
reach, get to与arrive at/in的区别：
（1）reach是及物动词，意为“到达”，后面可以直接跟地点。get to和arrive at/in也指“到达……”，其中arrive at后面接小地点，arrive in后面接大地点。
（2）当所接的地点是here, there, home等副词时，只用get和arrive，后面不加介词to, at或in。
（3）当home前有修饰词时，如this, that, his等，则要加上介词to, at或in。
2. already adv. 已经
already用在现在完成时态中表示动作已经完成，放在have/has之后，行为动词之前，也可放在句末。如：
Astronauts have already been to the moon.
宇航员们已经登过月球了。
3. just adv. 刚才；刚刚
just用在现在完成时态中表示动作刚刚完成，放在have/has之后，行为动词之前。如：
I’ve just made this model of the space station.
我刚刚做完这个太空站的模型。
4. earth n. 地球
常用短语：on earth究竟。该短语常用于疑问词后加强语气。如：
What on earth did you do just now?
你刚才究竟干什么了？
5. news n. 新闻；消息
news是不可数名词，要表示“一则消息”用a piece of news，两则或更多消息要通过piece的数来体现，news不变。如：
two pieces of news 两则消息
6. in order to 为了
如：
She got up early in order to catch the early bus.
=She got up early to catch the early bus.
=She got up early so that she could catch the early bus.
为了赶上早班车，她早早地起床了。
7. search for 搜索
如：
The boy searched his room for his toy car yesterday.
昨天这男孩为了找他的玩具车搜了他的房间。
8. none pron. 没有一个
none与no one的区别：
（1）none常和of连用。它既可指人，也可指物，谓语既可用单数，也可用复数。如：
I can remember none of these new words.
这些生词我一个也记不住。
（2）no one没有人。no one=nobody，指人，不指物。它作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式，其后不能接of短语。如：
No one told us about that.
没有人告诉过我们那件事。
【注意】提问none用how many，提问no one用who。
9. group n. 群；组
常用短语：a group of 一群。
10. impossible adj. 不可能的
它是由possible加前缀im-构成的词。如：
I think it impossible to work out this problem.
我认为要解决这个问题是不可能的。
11. communicate v. 联系；交流
常用短语：communicate with... 与……交流。
12. discover, find与look for
（1）discover指发现原本就存在但还不为人知的地方、事物、思想等。如：
Who discovered America in 1492?
是谁在1492年发现了美洲大陆？
（2）find指找到、发现已为人所知的东西，强调结果。如：
At last, we found the road we came along.
最后，我们找到了来时走的路。
（3）look for 强调寻找的过程。如：
They are looking for the missing child.
他们正在寻找那个走失的小孩。
句法精析
1. What are you up to? 你在干什么？
（1）be up to意为“忙于”，后跟名词、代词或动词-ing形式。
（2）be up to sb.是……的职责；由……决定。如：
It’s up to you.
你决定吧。
2. Astronauts have already been to the moon. 宇航员们已经登过月球了。
have been to是一个现在完成时结构，其后跟地点名词，表示“已经去过某地了”。当其后接地点副词时，则不需要介词to。如：
She has been there.
她已经去过那儿了。
3. The sun and its planets are called the solar system. 太阳和其行星被叫作太阳系。
本句为被动语态，其谓语部分结构为“be动词+过去分词”。如：
The missing girl was found yesterday.
那个失踪的女孩昨天被找到了。
4. It is impossible to imagine.
不可能想象得到。
It is+形容词+to do sth. 做某事……。
5. With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space?
宇宙中有如此多的星球，我们（地球）是孤独的吗，抑或太空中还有其他生命存在呢？
（1）“with+名词+介词短语”结构在句中作伴随状语。如：
With a book under his arm, Mr Li came into the classroom.
李老师胳膊下夹着一本书走进了教室。
（2）句中第一个逗号后是由or连接的两个并列的一般疑问句，表选择。
语法精讲
现在完成时（二）
1. 现在完成时的时间副词
现在完成时常与时间副词如already, yet, ever, never, just, before等连用。其用法如下：

①He has already seen the film twice.
那部电影他已经看过两次了。
②He has not heard the good news yet.
他尚未听说这个好消息。
（2）ever意为“曾经”，never意为“从未”。如：
—Have you ever been to London?
你曾经去过伦敦吗？
—I have never been there.
我从未去过那里。
（3）just意为“刚刚”。如：
He has just bought a car.
他刚刚买了一辆小汽车。
【注意】just now意为“刚才”，用于一般过去时。如：
She was here just now.
她刚才在这儿。
（4）before意为“以前”，通常用于现在完成时。如：

我以前见过你，但是不记得在哪里了。
【注意】ago意为“以前”，用于一般过去时。如：

2. 一般过去时与现在完成时的区别

②I have had supper.
我吃过晚饭了。（暗示现在不想吃）
