Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark. used to 的用法-【简语法-单元重点语法精练】2025-2026学年人教版（2012）英语九年级全册

单元核心语法·精练 Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark. （used to 的用法） 内容提要 核心语法回顾 专项能力突破 解题综合提升 一、used to 相关结构用法介绍 本单元核心语法为 used to 的不同搭配，分别表示 “过去常常做某事”“习惯于做某事”“被用来做某事”，需注意结构和含义的区别。 结构 含义 例句 used to do sth. 过去常常做某事（现在不做了） I used to be afraid of the dark. be/get used to doing sth. 习惯于做某事 She is used to getting up early. be used to do sth. 被用来做某事（被动语态） Knives are used to cut things. be used for doing sth. 被用于做某事（表用途） This room is used for holding meetings. 注意事项： 1. used to do sth. 的否定形式为 “didn’t use to do” 或 “usedn’t to do”，疑问句可将 used 提前（Used you to...?）或用 did 引导（Did you use to...?）。 2. be/get used to 中的 to 是介词，后接动名词（doing），不可接动词原形，如不可说 “I’m used to get up early.” 3. 区分 be used to do sth. 与 be used for doing sth.：两者均表 “被用来做某事”，可互换（如 “Wood is used to make paper.”=“Wood is used for making paper.”）。 二、used to 与一般过去时的对比 used to do sth. 常与一般过去时混淆，需明确两者在强调重点上的差异。 语法点 强调重点 例句对比 used to do sth. 强调过去习惯性动作，暗含 “现在不做” He used to smoke.（现在不抽了） 一般过去时 强调过去发生的动作（与现在无关） He smoked yesterday.（仅说明过去事实） 注意事项： 1. 当表示过去某个具体时间发生的动作时，只能用一般过去时，不能用 used to，如不可说 “He used to smoke last night.” 2. used to 可用于描述过去的状态，一般过去时也可，但 used to 更强调 “今昔对比”，如 “She used to be short.”（暗示现在长高了） vs “She was short in 2010.”（仅说明过去状态）。 一、单项选择 1．（2025·云南玉溪·二模）My cousin used to ________a taxi to school, but now she is used to ________ to school. A．take; walk B．taking; walking C．taking; walk D．take; walking 【答案】D 【详解】句意：我的表妹过去常常乘出租车去上学，但是现在她习惯于步行去上学。 考查used to do和be used to doing的区别。take a taxi乘出租车，动词原形；taking a taxi乘出租车，动名词形式；walk步行，动词原形；walking步行，动名词形式。根据“My cousin used to...a taxi to school”可知，此处表示过去常常乘出租车去上学，used to do sth表示“过去常常做某事”，所以第一空用take；根据“but now she is used to...to school”可知，此处表示现在习惯于步行去上学，be used to doing sth表示“习惯于做某事”，所以第二空用walking。故选D。 2．（2025·江西抚州·模拟预测）Jack ________ get up late but now he ________ reading English in the morning, so his English level has improved a lot. A．used to; is getting used to B．used to; gets used to C．is getting used to; used to D．used to; getting used to 【答案】B 【详解】句意：杰克过去常常起床晚，但是现在他习惯早上读英语，所以他的英语水平提高了很多。 考查动词短语。used to do过去常常，后面跟动词原形；be/get used to doing习惯做某事，to是介词，后面跟doing结构。根据“reading”可知，第二个空用be/get used to doing，主语是第三人称单数，应用is/gets used to doing，排除A、C、D。故选B。 3．（2025·甘肃定西·模拟预测）My grandparents used to _______ in the countryside, but now they are used to _______ in the city.

A．used to; is used to B．is used to; is used to C．used to; used to D．is used to; used to 【答案】A 【详解】句意：Sam过去常常骑车去学校，但是现在他每天习惯走路去那里。 考查动词短语辨析。used to do过去常常做某事；is used to doing现在习惯于做某事。根据“Sam…ride to school, but now he…walking there every day.”可知，第一个空表示过去常常骑车，用used to；第二个空表示现在习惯于走路去那里，用be used to doing。故选A。 8．（2024·广东珠海·模拟预测）George Crum used to ________ late, but now he is used to ________ early.
