例1、例2和例3考查过去完成时态。该时态表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成了的动作。它表示句子中描述的动作发生在“过去的过去”,基本结构:主语+had+过去分词(done)。例4和例5考查have/get something done。
讲解归纳
过去完成时和have/get something done
Ⅰ.过去完成时
一、过去完成时的基本用法
1.一件事情发生在过去,而另外一件事情先于它(即表“过去的过去”),那么发生在前的事情的动词须用过去完成时。时间状语可用“before+过去的时间”等介词短语或一个时间状语从句来表示,也可通过上下文来表示。
She had learned some English before she came to the institute.她在来学院之前已学过一些英语。
He said that he had been abroad for 3 years.
他说他在国外待了3年了。
2.表示从过去某一时间开始,一直延续到过去的另一时间的动作,常用的时间状语有:by then,by that time,until,by the end of,before 2011,by the time+句子等。
By then he had learned English for 3 years.
到那时,他已学了3年英语了。
Until then he had known nothing about it yet.
到那时为止,他对此仍一无所知。
3.Hardly/Scarcely/Barely had...done...when...;No sooner had...done...than...。when和than从句里用一般过去时,主句用过去完成时,且用倒装,表示“刚刚……就……”。
Hardly(No sooner)had I got home when(than)the rain poured down.
我刚到家,大雨就倾盆而下。
Hardly had we started when the car got a flat tyre.
我们才刚刚开动,汽车的轮胎就漏气了。
4.It was/had been+一段时间+since从句。since从句中谓语用过去完成时。
It was ten years since we had had such a wonderful time.
我们10年没这么高兴了。
5.That/It was the first/second...time+that从句。that从句谓语要用过去完成时。
It was the third time(that)he had made the same mistake.
这是他第三次犯同样的错误了。
That was the first time that I had passed the exam.
那是我第一次考试及格。
6.表示愿望、打算一类的词,如:hope,expect,mean,intend,want,think,suppose等,其过去完成时表示过去未曾实现的愿望或意图。
I had hoped to see more of Shanghai.
我本希望在上海多看看。(但未能如愿)
I had meant to help you,but I was too busy at the moment.
我本想帮你的,但当时确实太忙了。
I had thought you would come tomorrow.
我原以为你明天才来呢。
二、过去完成时同现在完成时及一般过去时的区别
1.过去完成时与现在完成时的区别
现在完成时表示的动作发生在过去,以现在的时间为基点,但侧重对现在产生的结果或造成的影响,与现在有关,其结构为“助动词have(has)+过去分词”;过去完成时则是一个相对的时态,以过去时间为基点,它所表示的动作不仅发生在过去,更强调“过去的过去”,只有和过去某时或某动作相比较时,才用到它。
比较:I have learned 1,000 English words so far.
到目前为止我已经学会了1000个英语单词。
I had learned 1,000 English words till then.
到那时为止我已经学会了1000个英语单词。
2.过去完成时与一般过去时的区别
虽然这两种时态都表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态,但在使用时应注意以下几点:
(1)时间状语不同:过去完成时在时间上强调“过去的过去”,而一般过去时只强调过去某一特定的时间。
比较:They had arrived at the station by ten yesterday.
他们昨天十点之前就已经到达车站了。
They arrived at the station at ten yesterday.
他们昨天十点到达车站。
(2)在没有明确的过去时间状语作标志时,谓语动词动作发生的时间先后须依据上下文来判断:先发生的用过去完成时,后发生的则用一般过去时。
She was very happy.Her whole family were pleased with her,too.She had just won the first in the composition competition.她很高兴,她的所有家人都对她感到满意。她刚刚在作文竞赛中获得了一等奖。
Ⅱ.have/get something done
一、含义
have/get sth.done表示要别人为自己做某事,动作不是由主语发出的,宾语sth.与过去分词之间是被动关系。
二、用法
1.表示动作的完成。
We had the machine mended just now.
我们刚才让人把机器修好了。
He has had/got his hair cut.
他(让人给他)理了发。
2.表示让别人做某事。
They are going to have their house painted.
他们准备让人把房子粉刷一下。
3.表示主语遭遇某事(尤指不好或不幸的事)。
The young lady had her wallet stolen on the bus the other day.前几天,这位年轻女士在公交车上丢了钱包。
Charles Ⅰ had his head cut off.查理一世遭斩首。
语法专练

答案:had painted;moved

8.I waited until he ________________(finish)his homework.
答案:had finished
9.He said he ________already ________(give)the book to the teacher.
答案:had;given
Ⅱ.单项填空
1.(2011年高考辽宁卷)By the time Jack returned home from England,his son _______ from college.
A.graduated B.has graduated
C.had been graduating D.had graduated
解析:选D。句意:到杰克从英国回到家时,他的儿子已经大学毕业了。by“到……为止”,往往与完成时连用,从returned可以判断,应用过去完成时,故选D。
2.(2011年高考湖南卷)It is the most instructive lecture that I _______ since I came to this school.
A.attended B.had attended
C.am attending D.have attended
解析:选D。句意:这是我自从来到这个学校听到的最有教育意义的一次讲座。since表示“自从……”,往往与完成时连用,且主句是用的现在时态,所以用现在完成时。
3.At the end of the meeting,it was announced that an agreement ________.
A.has been reached B.had been reached
C.has reached D.had reached
解析:选B。“达成协议”的动作发生在was announced之前,即“过去的过去”,故用过去完成时。
4.You should understand the traffic rule by now.
You’ve had it ________ often enough.
A.explaining B.to explain
C.explain D.explained
解析:选D。句意:到现在你应该明白交通规则了。你让别人解释地够多的了。it指代traffic rule,与explain是动宾关系,所以空格处要用过去分词。
5.I ________ there little more than a week when I set to work with the scientist.
A.would be B.have been
C.had been D.will be
解析:选C。本题考查动词时态。根据语境可知为过去的某一时态。when引导的时间状语从句中谓语使用了一般过去时,而主句be there动作应发生在set之前,故用过去完成时态。
6.—Look at the terrible situation I am in!If only I ________ your advice.
—Don’t worry.Try again.
A.follow B.would follow
C.had followed D.have followed
解析:选C。if only在句中引导虚拟语气,在含有if only的虚拟句中,不能用情态动词,根据语境这里是与过去事实相反的一种情况,所以要用过去完成时。
7.Whom would you rather have ________ with you
A.gone B.go
C.to go D.going
解析:选B。句意:你愿意让谁和你一起去?have sb.do“让某人做……”。
8.They ________ for long when a message came.
A.had drunk B.drunk
C.had not drunk D.were drinking
解析:选C。句意:他们才喝了一会儿的酒,这时就捎来了口信。came是过去时,drink是到came动作为止一直进行的动作,故用过去完成时的否定式。
9.—Did Peter fix the computer himself
—He________,because he doesn’t know much about computers.
A.has it fixed B.had fixed it
C.had it fixed D.fixed it
解析:选C。句意:——彼得自己修得了那台电脑吗?——他让别人修的,因为他不怎么懂电脑。“have...done”表示动作由别人完成,所以选A或C;根据Did Peter...?可知应用一般过去时回答。
10.I have had my bike________,and I’m going to have somebody________my radio tomorrow.
A.repair;to repair B.repairing;to be repaired
C.repaired;repair D.to repair;repairing
解析:选C。have my bike repaired表示“让别人给修自行车”;have sb.do sth.“让某人做某事”。

while working on a simple task,while后省略了she was。
while eating,while省略了he was,If allowed,If后省略了I am。由此可见,当主从句的主语一致且从句的谓语含有be的某种形式时,从句中的主语和be动词可以省略,从句常采用“从属连词+现在分词/过去分词/名词/形容词/介词短语”的形式。

A.What is it that B.What it is that
C.How is it that D.How it is that
解析:选A。句意:我没有什么可坦白的。你想要我说的是什么?该句考查强调句型的特殊疑问句,原句应为You want me to say sth.,对sth.进行提问,故应用疑问代词what;B项语序不正确,故排除。

Helen Keller
Helen Keller was a very special girl who needed a superb teacher.By the time she was seven years old,she still couldn’t speak,read or write.This was because Helen couldn’t see or hear.With these severe restrictions on her communication,Helen’s behaviour was often unbearable.She was stubborn and angry,and often broke things when she wasn’t understood.
译文助读
Anne Sullivan was brought in to help Helen.Anne was a teacher and former student at a school for the blind in Boston.She had had eyesight problems early in life as well so she could relate to Helen’s difficulties.Her first goal was to stop Helen’s troublesome behaviour.Helen would need this valuable preparation in order to learn language.She would also need lots of love.When Anne and Helen first met,Anne gave Helen a big hug.
Helen would have to learn to understand words spelled on her hand.Anne’s technique was simple and straightforward.She would put an object into one of Helen’s hands and spell the word into her other hand. She started with dolls.She would let Helen play with the doll,and then spell the letters “D O L L” into her hand.Helen thought this was a game.She had a precise description of her excitement in her book,The Story of My Life:“Running downstairs to my mother,I held up my hand and made the letters for doll.I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey like imitation.”
Then one day,Anne took Helen out to the well. Anne put Helen’s hand under the water.As the water flowed over one hand,Anne spelled “w a t e r” into the other hand.Then suddenly,Helen had a burst of understanding; the movement of the fingers meant the cool water flowing over her hand.This precious knowledge gave her hope and joy.Finally,the world of words was opening up to her.
Now that Helen understood the key to language,she was very eager to learn more and use it as much as she could.Children who can see and hear learn language easily but for Helen,it was a gradual and sometimes painful process.However,the results were amazing.
As Helen’s knowledge and vocabulary expanded,she asked more and more questions.This soon led her to discover more complex words and changed her thinking processes.Trying to learn the word “love” was an experience that she remembered well.This is how she described it in her book,The Story of My Life:
“I remember the morning that I first asked the meaning of the word ‘love’.This was before I knew many words.I had found a few early violets in the garden and brought them to my teacher...Miss Sullivan put her arm gently round me and spelled into my hand,‘I love Helen.’ ‘What is love ?’I asked.She drew me closer to her and said,‘ It is here,’pointing to my heart...Her words puzzled me very much because I did not then understand anything unless I touched it.”
The meaning of love was still not apparent to Helen but she kept on trying to understand.“I smelt the violets in her hand and asked,half in words ,half in signs,a question which meant,‘ Is love the sweetness of flowers ’‘ No,’ said my teacher.”
Helen then felt the warmth of the sun shining on them.She pointed up and asked if that was love.When her teacher said that it wasn’t,she was confused and disappointed.“I thought it strange that my teacher could not show me love.”
The word “think” was also a difficult one for Helen but she had a breakthrough while working on a simple task.She was making necklaces with the help of Miss Sullivan when she noticed that she had made some mistakes.Uncertain about how to fix them,she stopped to think carefully.As she did this,Miss Sullivan touched Helen’s head and spelled the word “think” into her hand.“In a flash I knew that the word was the name of the process that was going on in my head.”
It was the first time Helen had understood such a complex word—a word for something she couldn’t touch.At that moment,her mind returned to the word “love”.As she thought about its meaning again,the sun came out.She pointed to the sun and asked her teacher again if that was love.Anne answered Helen by explaining that love was like the sun and clouds in a way.
“You cannot touch the clouds,you know; but you feel the rain...You cannot touch love either; but you feel the sweetness that it pours into everything.Without love you would not be happy or want to play.”In that vivid moment,Helen finally understood the beautiful truth of the word “love”.
海伦·凯勒
海伦·凯勒是一个很特别的女孩,她需要一个出色的老师。七岁的时候,她仍然不会说话、阅读和写字。这是因为海伦看不见,也听不到。由于交流上有这些严重的障碍,海伦的行为举止经常让人不能忍受。她固执、易怒,当别人不明白她的意思时,就常打烂东西。
安妮·沙利文被请来帮助海伦。安妮是波士顿一所盲人学校的老师,她也曾在那里就读。安妮年幼的时候也曾有过视力问题,所以能够对海伦的困难产
生共鸣。她的第一个目标是要停止海伦令人讨厌的
行为。海伦需要这样重要的准备来学习语言。她也需要许多的爱。当安妮和海伦第一次见面时,安妮就紧紧地拥抱了海伦。
海伦必须要学着理解那些拼写在她手上的单词。安妮的方法很简单直接。她将一件物品放在海伦的一只手里,然后在她的另一只手里拼写单词。安妮用玩具娃娃开始。她让海伦玩娃娃,然后在她的手里拼写字母“D O L L”。海伦以为这是个游戏。她在她的书《我的生活故事》中细致地描述了自己的兴奋:“我冲下楼梯跑向妈妈,举起手,拼写玩具娃娃的字母。我不知道自己在拼写一个单词,更不知道单词的存在;我只是简单地像猴子般地模仿着移动手指。”
后来有一天,安妮带海伦出来到了水井边。安妮将海伦的手放在水的下方。当水流过一只手时,安妮在另一只手里拼写“w a t e r”一词。一瞬间,海伦突然明白了:手指的运动表示正在流过她的手的清凉的水。这一宝贵知识给了她希望和欢乐。终于,词语世界向她敞开了。
既然海伦理解了语言之谜,她非常渴望学习更多词语并且尽可能多地使用它们。能看和听的孩子学语言很容易,但是对海伦来说,这是一个渐进的,有时是痛苦的过程。然而,结果是令人惊叹的。
随着知识和词汇的扩大,海伦问的问题越来越多。这很快就使她发现更复杂的词汇,并改变了她的思考过程。学习“爱”(love)这个词的过程是她记忆深刻的一个经历。她在自己的书《我的生活故事》里是这样描述的:
“我记得第一次问‘爱’这个词的意思的那个早晨。这是在我知道很多词之前。我在花园里发现了几枝早开的紫罗兰花,我把花拿给我的老师……沙利文小姐轻柔地用她的手臂环抱着我,在我的手里拼写‘我爱海伦’。‘什么是爱?’我问道。她将我拉近一些,
然后指着我的心说,‘它在这里,’……她的话使我感到非常困惑,因为那时我若不用手触摸就什么都不理解。”
海伦对爱的意思还是不明白,但是她继续努力去理解。“我闻到她手里的紫罗兰花,一半用单词,一半用手势,我问了这样一个问题,‘爱是花的甜蜜吗?’‘不是’,我的老师说。”
海伦感觉到照耀着她们的太阳的温暖,她指着上面问是否那就是爱。当她的老师再次否定时,海伦既
困惑又失望。“我感到奇怪,为什么老师不能告诉我什么是爱。”
“思考”这个词对海伦来说也是一个困难的词,但是在做一件简单的事情时,她取得了突破性的进展。海伦正在沙利文小姐的帮助下制作项链,她注意到自己出了一些错。由于不能肯定怎样改错,她停下来仔细地思考。当她这样做时,沙利文小姐摸摸她的头,在她的手里拼写“思考”这个词。“一瞬间,我明白了这个词便是我头脑中正在进行的这个过程的名称。”
这是海伦第一次明白这样一个复杂的词——一个她触摸不到的东西的含义。在那一刻,她的思想回到了“爱”这个词。当她再次思考它的意思时,太阳出来了。海伦指着太阳,又一次问老师是否这就是爱。安妮回答海伦,解释说爱在某种程度上就像太阳和云。
“你知道,你不能触摸云彩,但是你能感觉到下雨。你同样触摸不到爱,但你却能体会到爱注入万物之中的甜蜜。没有爱,你不会快乐,也不想玩耍。”在那生动的一刻,海伦终于明白了“爱”这个词的美丽真理。

Never Give Up Your Dream
The adolescent girl from Tennessee is standing on the stage of a drama summer camp in New York.It’s a beautiful day.But the girl doesn’t feel that.She’s not the glamorous1 Hollywood type.In fact,she describes herself as dorky2.
Since she was six years old,Reese Witherspoon has hoped to be a country singer.Despite three years of lessons,at the end of camp her coaches tell her to forget about singing.They suggest she think about another career.
But back at home in Nashville,her father,a physician,encouraged her to achieve in school.So she worked hard at everything and was accepted at Stanford University.
And at age 19,she got a part in a low budget movie called Freeway.That led to a very important role in the movie Pleasantville.But her big break came with Legally Blonde.
She decided,“If you can’t sing and you aren’t glamorous,play to your strengths.(1)If you want to make it in this
business,better focus on what you’re good at.Celebrate yourself.”And then came the offer that took her back to her Nashville roots—playing the wife of tormented3 country star Johnny Cash,a singing role.
All of a sudden the old fears were back.(2)She was very nervous on the set,and she admitted she would shake after finishing a singing scene and going backstage.But she didn’t give up on the movie or herself.
She spent 6 months taking singing lessons again.She learned to play the autoharp4.And the hard work built up her confidence.
In March,2006,Reese Witherspoon walked up on another stage,the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood,and accepted the Oscar as Best Actress for her heartbreaking,heart warming singing role as June Carter Cash in Walk the Line.
Notes:
1.glamorous adj.富有魅力的,迷人的

C.attitude D.express
解析:选B。考查名词辨析。答句句意为:……她的突然尖叫吓了我们一跳。burst在这里强调的是感情的突然释放或突然迸发。break“间歇,中断,机遇”;attitude“态度,看法”;express n.“快车,快运”。由题意可知,A、C、D三项均不符合,故选B。
13However,much more than buildings and objects,it is the forms of the people who were caught in the disaster that have made the city a monument to human history.
但是,与城里的建筑及物品相比,那些在那场灾难中遇难的人的轮廓像更使这个城市成为人类历史上的一座纪念碑。

本句后半句为强调句型。其基本结构为:It is/was+被强调部分+that(who)+其他成分。该句型可以用来强调句中的某些成分,如主语、宾语、状语等,但其结构不能用来强调谓语。被强调的部分指人时用that,who均可,指事或情况时只用that。

一般疑
问式 Is/Was+it+被强调部分+that+其他
特殊疑
问式 What/Where/How/When/Who/Whom is/was+it+被强调部分+其他?
【温馨提示】 强调句的判定方法:强调结构中It is/was...that/who三个词如果去掉,原句不影响理解,虽然句子语序可能不太合适;而以It作形式主语,that引导主语从句的情况下,若去掉It is/was ...that,则句子不是正确句子。试比较:
⑤It is what he said that matters much.
=What he said matters much.
(第一句为强调结构)
⑥It is true that he won the game.
(去掉It is...that原句不再成立,该句为主语从句。)

自我探究
(1)在通常情况下,as if引导从句,从句常用虚拟语气,表示所叙述的情况与事实相反,谈论现在的情形时,从句中谓语动词一般用过去时;谈论过去的情形时,从句中谓语动词一般用过去完成时,有时也用过去进行时。
(2)如果as if后面的从句所表示的情况是真实的或可能是真实的,那么从句不用虚拟语气。
归纳拓展
as if从句用虚拟语气的具体形式:
主句+as if/though+ 类型 从句(谓语动词)
表示与现在事实相反的假设 一般过去时(be一般用were)
表示与将来事实相反的假设
表示与过去事实相反的假设 had+过去分词
易混辨析
as if,even if
(1)as if意为“好像,仿佛”,相当于as though,在句中引导表语从句或方式状语从句,有时表示与所叙述的情况相反,这时从句用虚拟语气。
(2)even if(=even though)意为“甚至,即使”,引导让步状语从句,从句不用虚拟语气。

Pompeii:The city that became a time capsule
Around the end of the first century AD,a Roman writer called Pliny wrote about a terrible volcanic eruption that he had witnessed as a young man.The eruption had occurred on August 24th,79 AD.The earth began to tremble and a volcano named Vesuvius,near Pompeii,Italy,erupted.Pliny described a cloud coming down the mountain,blocking out the sun and burying everything in its path,including whole villages and towns.
译文助读
This particularly sad event left a deep impression on Pliny who had lost an uncle in the eruption.Yet,over the centuries,there was a greater loss.The people,towns and villages that had disappeared under the ashes were entirely forgotten by the world. However,more than 1,600 years later,some scientists found the lost towns that had been buried under the ashes.By 1748,they had found an awesome historical site.They had started to dig out the ancient city of Pompeii.
In a way,Pompeii is like a “time capsule” preserving a frozen moment in history.Before the eruption occurred,it had been a booming Roman city with temples,markets,restaurants and theatres.Now as you walk along the streets of the city,time rewinds. You can admire the ancient architecture, statues,decorated walls and authentic objects characteristic of the time.However,much more than buildings and objects,it is the forms of the people who were caught in the disaster that have made the city a monument to human history.
The bodies of people who had died in Pompeii left impressions in the ash that showed their exact shapes.As you walk,you will pass people gathered together for protection in their last hours of life.One person,sitting alone,looks like he is praying.Another man,lying on his side,looks as if he is trying to get up.One can only feel sorrow and deep sympathy for these once living statues.
Today,more than 250 years after scientists found the city,thousands of tourists and hundreds of scientists visit Pompeii every year to learn more about the ancient world.In this way,the city,which the world had once forgotten,lives on nearly 2,000 years after its loss.
庞贝:一座变成“时间舱”的城市
公元一世纪末左右,一位名叫普利尼的罗马作家描述了他青年时代亲眼目睹的一场可怕的火山喷发的情景。火山喷发发生在公元79年8月24日。大地开始颤动,一座位于意大利境内庞培附近名叫维苏威的火山喷发了。普利尼描述道,一团云自山巅而降,遮天蔽日,将所经之处的一切,包括一座座村庄和城镇统统吞没。
这场灾难给普利尼留下深刻的印象,他的一位叔叔在灾难中丧生。然而,几百年后,更大的损失发生了,维苏威火山灰下失踪的人们、城市以及村庄被世人完全遗忘了。
但是,1600多年以后,一些科学家发现了被埋在火山灰下的消失了的城镇。到1748年,他们已经发现了一处令人敬畏的历史遗址,开始挖掘出庞贝古城。从某种程度上说,庞培古城如同一个“时间舱”,保存了历史上一段被封存了的瞬间。火山爆发前,庞贝是一座繁华的罗马城市,寺庙、集市、餐馆和剧院遍布全城。如今,当你沿着城中的街道漫步时,时间回到了过去。你可以观赏这些古代的建筑、雕像、装饰的墙壁和那时特有的原物。然而,是那些在这次空难中遇难的人们的形态而不是建筑物或其他物品使得这个城市成为人类历史的纪念碑。
这些在庞培城中遇难的人的身体在火山灰中留下了遇难时的确切痕迹。当你走过时,你会看到在生命的最后时刻聚集在一起寻求保护的人们。一个独自坐着的人看上去像在祷告。躺在他旁边的另一个人看上去好像是在试图站立起来。对这些曾经活着的雕像,人们只能感到悲痛和深切的同情。
今天,在科学家们发现庞培城250多年后,每年都有成千上万的游客和成百上千的科学家参观庞培城,以求更多地了解这个古老的世界。这样,在消失了近2000年后,这座曾经一度被世界遗忘的城市又复活了。
