典型例题

1.The _____is just around the corner and you won’t miss it.

A.bicycle’s shop B.bicycle shop C.bicycles shop D.bicycle’s shop

【题解】选B。名词做定语如表所属关系有两种情况:①有生命的东西要加’s;②无生命的东西常用of。名词做定语如不表所有关系,往往只用名词单数形式。表示什么样的商店要用名词单数形式修饰shop。译文:自行车商店就在拐角处,你不会错过它的。

2.They sold ____boxes of such sweets last week.

A.four dozen B.four dozens C.four dozens of D.four dozen of

【题解】选A。dozen与数词或many,several等词连用时,一般不用复数形式,故B、C两项不选。此外,dozen与数词连用作定语时,一般也不加of。但在Two dozen of these are wanted一句中,dozen后面有of是因为有限定词these(或the,his,her,my their等)。Dozens of people were hare一句中,dozens of表示“很多”。

3.On the ground on some hay _____a peasant boy of not more than seventeen.

A.lie B.lying C.lay D.laid

【题解】选C。lay是lie的过去式,由介词短语前置而引起的主谓倒装。以下三个动词常易混淆,需经常练习。

lie,lay,lain,lying(躺)

lay,laid,laid,lying(摆放,产卵)

lie,lied,lied,lying(说谎)

此外还有:

wind,wound,wound,wingding(蜿蜒)

wound, wounded,wounded,wounding(使……受伤)

find,found,found,finding(找到)

found,founded,founded,founding(建立)

4.He said that he would write to us but so far we _____ from him.

A.haven’t heard B.didn’t hear

C.should not heard D.hadn’t hear

【题解】选A。so far通常与现在完成时连用,转折连词but前是回忆他的话,but后是目前的结果“未收到他的信”,but后不应当是过去时或过去完成时,因此排除B、D两项。C项与句意不符。

5.It was obvious that the man ____driving on the freeway for almost an hour when he ____that he must come back.

A.was;told B.had been;was told

C.had been;told D.was;was told

【题解】选B。只有had been driving能与时间状语for almost an hour连用,而第二空只能用被动语态,满足这两个要求的只有B项。

6.Either Tom or I ______to blame.

A.to be B.am C.are D.is

【题解】选B。当两个主语由连词or,either…or,neither…nor,not only…but also…等连接时,谓语动词要与邻近它的主语一致。这里与谓语邻近的主语是代词I,所以系动词要用am。如:Not only Alice but also her friends have come. Neither the teacher nor the students are introduced to my wife.

7.One dollar and eighty-seven cents _____enough for the coat.

A.is B.are C.has D.have

【题解】选A。表示时间、距离、重量、长度、度量、价值等的复数名词做主语时,一般把它看作一个整体,谓语动词一般用单数形式。如:

Twenty pounds is not heavy.

Five weeks off is a good vacation.

8.This is the second time I _____by him;I shall never trust him again.

A.was let down B.have been let down

C.have been put down D.am let out

【题解】选B。在This/It is the first/second…last time后面的从句一般用现在完成时。如:

This is the first time I have been here.但是在It is time后的从句是虚拟语气,往往用过去式。如:

It is(high)time that we went to school.(有时也可用should加原形动词)。词组let down意为“使失望”“拆台”;put down意为“放下”“镇压”“记下”;let out意为“发出”“泄露”,根据意思和语法,B为最佳答案,意思为“这是他第二次拆我的台,我再也不相信他了”。

9.If you go out,who will _____the lady?

A.attend to B.care of C.look for D.take care

【题解】选A。attend to意为“照顾”“看护”,其中的attend是不及物动词。attend也可作及物动词,意为“出席”“参加”“上(学)”“听(课)”“医治”等。

10.Della went back to her room,_____to buy her husband Jim a present.

A.with her mind making up B.her mind making up

C.with her mind made up D.her mind being made up

【题解】选C。用介词with引起的短语常起伴随状语的作用。本句中短语的分词应为过去分词,表示“决心已下”,具有完成和被动的含义。所以A、B两项都不对;D项为独立主格结构,但其分词部分为现在分词的被动式,表示一种进行时的被动,也不对。

During the summer of 2003 she was travelling in Europe.2003年夏天她在欧州旅行。

▲和现在进行时一样,某些动词如come,go,leave,stay等的过去进行时表示过去将来的动作。如:

She told me she was sending me some new stamps soon.她告诉我,不久她就会给我寄几张新邮票来。

She knew the plane was taking off in five minutes.她知道飞机五分钟后就要起飞了。

She wrote several letters and asked me to post them.她写了几封信让我寄出去。

Professor Blake win be giving a lecture on American Literature tomorrow evening.

布莱克教授明晚将作一个关于美国文学的报告。

【注】将来进行时比一般将来时语气委婉客气。如:

When you pay back the money?(不太客气)

When you be paying back the money?(比较委婉)

▲现在完成时

表示发生在过去或已经完成了的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,换言之动作已发生在过去,着重的是对现在的影响。如:

Have you ever been to the Great Wall?你过去长城吗?

I have forgotten her telephone number.我忘了她的电话号码了。

▲表示过去已经开始,持续到现在的动作或状态。如:

▲用于时间或条件从句中,表示将来某时完成的动作。如:

Don’t get off the bus until it has stopped.等车停了再下车。

We’ll start at three o’clock if it has stopped raining by then.

我们将在三点钟动身,如果那时雨停了的话。

【注】现在完成时和一般过去时的比较:

这两个时态虽都表示过去发生的事,但着眼点不一样,现在完成时是要说明过去的动作对现在的影响,而一般过去时只是单纯的谈过去的动作或状态本身,不与现在相联系。如:

“Come and have breakfast with us.”“Thank you.I’ve just had it.”

“来跟我们一块儿吃早饭吧。”“谢谢,我已吃过了。”(饱了,吃不下了)

I had my breakfast in the dining hall.我在饭厅吃的早饭。(仅说明吃饭这个事实)

I chose some novels and bought them.我挑了几本小说买下了。(没说明与现在的联系)

▲现在完成进行时

表示一个由过去某时起一直持续的动作,这个动作可能刚停止,也可能还在继续。如:

There you are!I’ve been waiting for two hours!

你到底来了,我等你等了二个小时了!

She is very tired.She’s been working the whole morning.她很累,她干了一个上午了。

It has been raining,but it has just stopped now.天一直下雨,刚停。

▲有时现在完成进行时不是指某动作一直在不停地进行,而是表示一直到说话时的一段时间内一直重复的动作,常常有感情色彩。如:

He has been calling on her several times this week.他这个星期几次来看她。

We’ve been having a lot of rain recently.最近雨水很多。

▲有时现在完成进行时表示“刚才”或“近来”发生的动作,也就表示直到说话时为止的一段时间内发生的动作。这一动作到说话时已经结束,而且不再继续下去。这种用法主要表示某一动作所产生的结果或对现在的影响。如:

You have been cleaning the classroom.I think.

我想你刚才在打扫教室吧!(言外之意:Your clothes are covered with dust.)

The boy has been playing with toys.

那男孩一直在玩玩具。(言外之意:There are toys hare and there on the noor.)

Her eyes are red.She has been crying.她眼睛红了,她一直在哭。

【注】现在完成进行时和现在完成时的比较:

这两个动作都表示“从过去开始一直持续到现在”的动作,有时可换用,但现在完成时着重动作的结果,而现在完成进行时着重表示动作的未完成,强调动作的持续性。如:

I have been reading the book.

我一直在读这本书。(强调动作的持续性)

I have read the book.我读过这本书了。(强调动作的结果)

Who has been drink my wine?谁喝了我的酒?(已喝掉)

Who has been drinking my wine?谁喝我的酒来着?(被喝掉一些)

【注】不用进行时态的动词。感官动词等不可用现在完成时或进行时,但可用其现在完成时。如:

I have known him since I was a child.我从孩子时起就认识他了。

I haven’t seen him for a long time.我很久没见过他了。

▲过去完成时

表示在过去某时间之前已经发生或存在的状态。

When I rang,Mary had already gone to work.我打电话时玛丽已经上班了。

By dusk,the news had spread through the town.到黄昏,消息已传遍全镇。

The room was dirty.I hadn’t cleaned it for weeks.房间很脏,我已几个星期没打扫了。

▲过去完成时还可表示过去某一时间发生的动作或状态一直延续到某个时候,并可能继续下去,常用for或since或by引导时间状语。如:

She had lived in the south for three years before she came here.她来这儿之前,在南方住了三年。

By the end of last month,I had studied in the college for two years.

到上月底,我在这所学院已学习两年了。

【注】表示过去的两个动作紧接着发生,可不用过去完成时,而用一般过去时,常见于as soon as,before,after,immediately,instantly,the moment等引导的带有时间状语从句的复合句中。如:

I loved you the moment I saw you.我一见到你就爱上你了。

Immediately she entered,his eyes lit up.她一进来他的眼睛就亮了起来。

Directly I walked in the door I smelt smoke.我一进门就闻到烟味。

【注】某些表示意愿、希望、打算、意图等的动词,其过去完成时表示本打算做而未做的事,这些动词是:think,suppose,plan,want,intend,mean等。

I had hoped to send him a Christmas card, but I forgot to do so.

我本来希望寄一张圣诞卡给他的,但我忘了寄了。

We had thought to return early but he wouldn’t let us go.我们本想早点回来的,但他们不让我们走。

She had intended to speak,but time did not permit.她本想发言,可时间不允许。

▲过去完成进行时

表示从过去某时开始,一直持续到过去的那个时刻的动作,该动作可能刚结束,也可能还要继续。如:

I had been waiting in the room for half an hour before she called me in.

在她喊我进去之前,我已经在房间里等了半个小时。

She was out of breath.She had been running.她气喘吁吁。她一直在跑来着。

Jane was annoyed.Peter had been phoning her every night.简很不高兴,彼得每晚给她打电话。

【注】请注意过去完成进行时与过去进行时的区别:

Last night I was reading a novel when the bell rang.昨晚铃响时,我正在读一本小说。(当时正在读)

Last night I had been reading a novel when the bell rang.到昨晚铃响时,我一直在读一本小说。(一直在读)

【注】请注意过去完成进行时或现在完成进行时的区别:前者表示到过去某个时刻还在进行,后者表示到现在还在进行。试比较:

He had been smoking for twenty years when he decided to give it up.

当他决定戒烟时,他已有二十年的烟龄了。

He has been smoking for twenty years.他已有二十年的烟龄了。(到现在为止)

【注】请注意过去完成进行时与过去完成时的区别:前者表示到过去某时为止动作一直在持续,未必完成,而后者表示动作已完成。试比较:

She said she had been writing her composition.她说她一直在写作文。(可能尚未完成)

She said she had written her composition.她说她的作文已写完了。(已完成)

▲将来完成时

表示将来某个时间之前已经完成的动作。如:

I’m sure he will have settled the problem before you arrive there.

我相信在你到那儿之前,这个问题他已经解决了。

On Monday he’ll have been in America for three years.到星期一,他在美国就满三年了。

The film will have started by the time we get to the cinema.我们到电影院时电影已开始。’

Ⅳ.阅读理解

A

At first Kate thought the Romanan girl could not speak and understand English.Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said.Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School.Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.

“Why did they do this?”Kate wondered aloud.“I mean,you can’t learn if you can’t understand the teacher.”

Nadia’s voice was a whisper.“I understand English.I will learn.” Nadia’s English was perfect.

Kate was perplexed.She couldn’t understand why Nadia did not like to speak.Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn’t the easiest thing to do.There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual to learn--all at the same time.

“There’re a lot of new things to learn,huh?” said Kate.

Nadian nodded rapidly.In a quiet voice she replied,“Many things people say, I do not understand.I have been speaking Enghsh and Romanian all my life,but I do not know what some children are saying.For exaxmple,yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying.Isn’t a port a place for ships?It made no sense to me。

“Don’t worry,” said Kate.“You’ll figure everything out in time.You see,that thin black box was a computer.A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer.”

Nadia and Kate were quiet after that.They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson.To Kate’s surprise,Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the balckboard.

Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her.Some of the questions were really difficult,and no one understand what was going on except Nadia and the teacher.When the teacher said that Nadia

answered everything correctly,the whole class clapped their hands.

“If you want to see a thing well,reach out and touch it!” That may seem a strange thing to say.But touching things can help you to see them better.

Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round.But by holding it in your hands,you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is.You can feel how heavy the glass is.The roundness,smothness,coolness and heaviness are all part of the ball.When you feel all these things about the ball, you really see it.

With your skin,you can feel surprisingly well.For example,your fingers can tell the difference between a nickel(五分硬币)and a dime(一角硬币)in your pocket.You can feel a tiny drop of water on the back of your hand,or a puff(喷送)of air against your skin.

The bottoms of our feet can feel things,too.You know this when you walk barefoot.Warm sand,cool grass and a soft rug(地毯)all feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin.Feel the shoes on your feet,the clothes on your body,the air on your skin.At first,it is not easy to feel these things.You are too used to them.

Most exhibits in museums axe just for looking.But today some museums have some things to touch.Their signs say,“Do touch!”

Middle school students have some ideas for their future jobs. The most striking contrast is in teaching. 30 percent of girls want to be teachers while only 10 percent of boys want to do the job. As girls, the second largest group would like to act as medical workers (25 percent) and scientists (25 percent).

What boys like to be most are scientists and lawyers (30 perfect separately). The second choice is to become medical workers and businessmen (15 perfect separately). Only 5 percent of girls like to do business and around 15 percent want to be lawyers.

The above numbers show that a large number of girl students as well as boy students want to be scientists.
