Unit 9 Grade 8 知识点拨(新目标版八年级英语下册教案教学设计)

发布时间:2016-4-16编辑:互联网

一、学习目标:

1.掌握现在完成时的用法;

2.了解一般过去时、现在完成时和现在完成进行时的意义的区别;

3.能够准确使用多种时态谈论自己的经历。

二、学习重点难点:

1. 现在完成时由主语+have/has+过去分词构成。其主要用法如下:

I. 在未指明具体时间的情况下,现在完成时动词通常可以表示在说话之前已经完成,而后果或影响至今仍存在的动作。

例如:

The concert has started. 音乐会已经开始。

I have had breakfast. 我已吃过早饭。

注意:have gone to 和 have been to 在意义上有区别。

例如:

He has gone to Hong Kong. 他到香港去了。(他已前往香港,或在途中,或已到达。说话人暗示他现在不在现场。)

He has been to Hong Kong. 他曾到过香港。(说话人认为他过去到过香港,现在已不在该地。言外之意他对香港有所了解。)

II. 现在完成时动词可以表示开始于过去持续到现在(也许还会继续进行下去)的动作或状态。

例如:

1) I have studied English since last year. 我从去年开始学习英语。

2) She has lived in Beijing for five years. 她住在北京已经五年了。

注意:come, go , leave, arrive, buy, lose, receive, join, die, bury 和marry 等动词所表示的动作是一时的,不能延续的,故不能与for …,since …等开头的表示一段时间的状语连用。不过,这些词用于否定句则可以与表示持续的时间状语连用,即动作的不发生是可以持续的。

例如:

不能说:*He has come to Beijing for two years.

*He has bought that book for three weeks.

*He has joined the Army for one and a half years.

*His grandma has died for nine months.

* I have received his letter for a month.

可以说:

He has been in Beijing for two years.

He has had that book for three weeks.

He has been in the army for one and a half years.

His grandma has been dead for nine months.

I haven't received his letter for almost a month.

或者:

It is two years since he came to Beijing.

It is three weeks since he bought that book.

It is one and a half years since he joined the Army.

It is nine months since his grandma died.

2. 现在完成时把过去的动作和现在的结果联系起来,一般过去时只限于表示过去的动作本身,与现在的结果无关。现在完成时与一般过去时在意义上的区别举例如下:

I have cleaned my room. (My room is clean now.)

我已经打扫过我的房间了。

I cleaned my room last week. (I did it in the past.)

我上周打扫了我的房间。

Father has gone to Amoy. (He went to Amoy and he is not here now.)

爸爸已经去厦门了。

They have bought a dictionary. (They bought a dictionary and they have it now.)

他们买了一本字典。

注意:现在完成时不能和明确指出时间的状语(如:yesterday, last, year, in 1976, two days ago, just now, when she came in 等)连用,但可以和不明确指出时间的状语(如:already, yet, ever, never, sometimes, always, often, before, once, twice, recently, lately等)连用;也可以和表示包括现在在内的时间状语(如:today, this morning, this week, this year等)连用。例如:

She has already finished her work. 她已经把工作做完了。

I haven’t read the story yet. 我还没读过这个故事。

Have you met him before? 你从前曾见过他吗?

Lily has always been a good student. Lily一直是个好学生。

比较:

I have seen him this morning .我上午看见他了。(说话时在上午)

I saw him this morning.今天上午我遇见了他。(说话时可能是下午或者晚上)

It has been cold this winter. 今天冬天一直很冷。(说话时仍是冬天)

3. 现在完成进行时和现在完成时都可以表示“从过去开始一直持续到现在”这一概念,有时两者可以互相代用,但前者多用于口语。在含义上如着重表示动作的结果时,多用现在完成时;如着重表示动作一直在进行,即动作的延续性时,则多用现在完成进行时。一般不能用于进行时的动词也不能用于现在完成时行时。

比较:

I have waited for him for many times. 我等他等了好几次了。

I have been waiting for him for an hour. 我等他等了一小时。

He has drunk six cups of coffee. 他喝了六杯咖啡。

He has been drinking coffee. 他一直在喝咖啡。

( A )

In the face of your brother’s teacher you failed in respecting your mother! Let this never happen again, my Enrico, never again!

Your word hurt my heart like a point of steel. I thought of your mother when years ago, she bent of whole one night over your little bed, watching your breathing weeping in her worries, and with her teeth chattering with terror, because she thought that she had lost you; and I feared that she would lose her reason. And at this thought I felt a feeling of horror at you. You, to hurt your mother …!

Listen, Enrico. Fix this thought well in your mind. Just think that you are sure to experience many terrible days in the course of your life; the most terrible will be that on which you lose your mother. How you will then remember every bitterness that you have caused her, and with what regret you will pay for all, unhappy creature! Hope for no peace in your life, if you have caused you will pay for all, unhappy creature! Hope for no peace in your life, if you have caused your mother sorrow and sadness.

I love you, my son; you are the dearest hope of my life; but I would rather see you dead than ungrateful to your mother.

( B )

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse, which took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their mother country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century? Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to show on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.

Another factor is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

( ) 1. According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?

A.They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.

B.They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.

C.They watch TV or read newspapers.

D.They listen to the radio every day.

( ) 2. The different between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that ___.

A.people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper

B.people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper

C.people can read news stories in other countries

D.people can read news stories about their own country

( ) 3. To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?

A.Two B.Three C.Five D.Six

( ) 4. According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?

A.You often play football with your friends after school.

B.Your teacher has got a cold.

C.A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught.

D.The bike in front of your house is lost.

( ) 5. Which of the following is Not true in this passage?

A.News stories on the front page of every country are always the same.

B.People like to read interesting and unusual news.

C.Not only TV but also newspapers can help people to learn what is happening around the world.

D.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years.
