以上短文中黑体部分都用了过去完成时态,其构成是had+过去分词,表示该动作发生在过去的过去。
过去完成时
一、概念
过去完成时表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成的动作或存在的状态,即“过去的过去”。
二、过去完成时的构成形式
1.肯定句:主语+had+动词的过去分词+其他
The fire had come about before the couple came back.这对夫妇回来之前火灾就已经发生了。
2.否定句:主语+had+not+动词的过去分词+其他
When walking down the street,I came across David,whom I hadn’t seen for years.
沿街散步时,我偶然遇见了大卫,我已经有好几年没见过他了。
3.一般疑问句:Had+主语+动词的过去分词+其他?
肯定回答:Yes,主语+had.
否定回答:No,主语+hadn’t.
—Had you organized similar activities before you participated in the activity?
—Yes,I had./No,I hadn’t.
——在参加这项活动之前你组织过类似的活动吗?
——是的,我组织过。/没有,我以前没组织过。
4.特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词(或词组)+had+主语+动词的过去分词+其他?
Where had you been before you came to China for a visit?你来中国参观之前还去过哪儿?
三、过去完成时的常见用法
1.表示过去某一时间或动作以前已经发生或者完成的动作或存在的状态,即“过去的过去”。也可以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或状态。句中的时间状语可以用by,before,until,when等引出或者用一个过去的动作来表示,还可以通过上下文来表示。
By the end of last year he had run out of all the money inherited from his father.
到去年年底,他已花光了从他父亲那里继承的所有钱。
The girl had disappeared in a flash before he could utter a single word.
他还没来得及说一句话,那女孩就立刻不见了。
2.表示“愿望、打算”的动词(如:hope,want,expect,think,mean,suppose,plan,intend等)用于过去完成时表示过去本打算实现而未实现的愿望或计划。
I had intended to call on you yesterday,but I had an unexpected visitor.
昨天我本来打算去看你,但是来了一位不速之客。
I had meant to tell Mike the good news,but I found that he wasn’t at home.
我本打算把这个好消息告诉迈克,但发现他不在家。
3.过去完成时常常用在told,said,knew,heard,thought等动词后的宾语从句(或间接引语)中表示从句的动作发生在主句的动作之前。
I told him I had graduated from college with a degree in computer science.
我告诉他我大学毕业了,获得了计算机科学学位。
四、过去完成时在固定句式中的运用
1.过去完成时可以用于hardly/scarcely...when...和no sooner...than...句型中,表示“一……就……”。
Hardly had he known what happened when the audience broke in and interrupted him.
他刚知道发生了什么事,观众就闯进来打断了他。
2.在“It/This/That was+the+序数词+time+that...”句式中,that后的从句用过去完成时,表示“某人第几次做某事”。
It was the second time that he had travelled along the ancient Silk Road.
这是他第二次沿着古丝绸之路旅行。
3.在“It was+一段时间+since...”句式中,从句用过去完成时。
It was almost ten years since he had made a documentary to retell the history of the Palace Museum in detail.
从他制作一部纪录片来详细地重新讲述故宫博物院的历史以来,已经快十年了。
五、疑难辨析
1.过去完成时与一般过去时的区别
一般过去时表示过去某时发生的动作或存在的状态,常与具体的表过去的时间状语连用(如:ago,yesterday,last week等)。
过去完成时表示的动作或状态发生在“过去的过去”。也可以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或状态,如:
Alex finished his studies in 2020.
亚历克斯在2020年结束了他的学业。
By the time Alex finished his studies in 2020,he had been in London for over eight years.
亚历克斯在2020年结束他的学业时,他已经在伦敦待了8年多了。
2.现在完成时和过去完成时的区别
现在完成时指动作发生在过去,但与现在有关系,常与since或者“for+一段时间”连用。
过去完成时则主要体现过去发生的两个动作的先后有别,表达的是“过去的过去”。如:
The company has a growing market because it has extended its operations into Europe recently.
该公司的市场不断扩大,因为它最近将其业务扩展到了欧洲。
The company had a growing market because it had extended its operations into Europe.
该公司的市场不断扩大,因为它将其业务扩展到了欧洲。

When I was in the fifth grade,my teachers first discovered that I could not even read the first grade books.They didn’t think this kind of problem could happen to me since my father was a famous scientist.My parents sent me to experts,trying to find out what the problem was.My IQ was high,but I had severe problems in learning.They discovered that I was dyslexic(诵读困难的).I was lucky that my parents cared enough to find a way out for me.
When my parents went to Ford Country Day School and sat down with Brent,a teacher in the school,he agreed to help without thinking twice.My family was not rich and I was allowed to go to school free of charge because my mother drove some students to school in the morning in her car.I do know,however,without Brent reaching out to my family,my life would have taken a turn for the worst.Brent and my parents decided to have me retake the fifth grade in the next school year.
I was afraid of going to school with my difficulties in learning,but Brent’s kind and loving support helped me slowly learn to grow and overcome my learning disability.Ford Country Day School has become the most important turning point in my life.The foundation that Brent gave me has in many ways set my direction in life.
I went to Japan to live with my brother for one year right out of Ford Country Day School.I was in an international school in Tokyo.If I had not had the experience in Ford Country Day School,I would not have been able to survive in Japan.I count myself as one of the truly lucky people having been touched by Brent’s care and love.

语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍匈牙利女孩学习汉语的经历,进而说明汉语在匈牙利普及的现状。
1.答案 welcoming
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中有谓语stands,空格处在句中作非谓语,与主语statue(雕塑)之间是逻辑上的主动关系,因此需使用现在分词在句中作状语。故填welcoming。
2.答案 As
解析 考查连词。由空后内容可知,此处意为“随着时间的流逝”,应用连词as引导时间状语从句。位于句首时首字母大写。故填As。
3.答案 travel(l)ed
解析 考查动词时态。主语是A 19-year-old Hungary girl,根据后面的and settled可推知,此处使用一般过去时。故填travel(l)ed。
4.答案 had fallen
解析 考查动词时态。根据句中时间状语before she first came to China at the age of ten可知,该句陈述的动作发生在“过去的过去”,因此需使用过去完成时。故填had fallen。
5.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。此处指“一种声调”,表示泛指,special为辅音音素开头的单词,因此使用不定冠词a进行修饰。故填a。
6.答案 to
解析 考查介词。由句意可知,此处是固定短语access to,意为“接近;接触……的机会”。故填to。
7.答案 popularity
解析 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,此处定冠词the后接名词。故填popularity。
8.答案 commonly
解析 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处可使用副词在句中作状语修饰seen。故填commonly。
9.答案 be spotted
解析 考查非谓语动词和被动语态。分析句子结构可知,此处为固定短语be likely to do sth,意为“很可能做某事”,Chinese characters与spot(发现)之间是逻辑上的被动关系,因此需使用被动语态。故填be spotted。
10.答案 endless
解析 考查形容词。根据空后“possibilities which have not been explored”可知还有很多可能性,即“无限的”。故填endless。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
Way back in 1953,high school looked like a big hurdle(障碍)for me and several of my classmates.When we reached the 9th class,we got Mr Iyer,a strict maths teacher who was also our class teacher.He always stuck to his discipline.We had to arrive on time,pay undivided attention to his lectures,and dared not neglect any of his homework.
Even so,as our class teacher,we got to know him better.Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the mid-term exams approached,he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why.“There’s too much to do,” we sighed.“We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our review before the exam.”
“Nothing is impossible,” Mr Iyer told us.“This classroom is on the second floor.Do you have a problem reaching here?”
We reacted with blank stares.
“No,you don’t!” he said,answering his own question.“You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level.No one expect you to make it in two giant leaps—You simply take one step at a time.Any task can be solved if you focus on the immediate action to be taken.The rest will take care of itself,if you keep at it.One step at a time,that’s the secret.”
Then he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard:“The longest journey starts with a single step.” But having heard his staircase analogy (比拟),we saw him in a new light.
Most of my classmates scored distinctions in maths.And I went on to become an English teacher.To this day,whenever I pass on Mr Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students,they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden.

Teens who have good,supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better health as adults,according to research published by an American research center.
“This research suggests that improving students’ relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success,” said Jinho Kim,a professor at Korea University and author of the study.“It could also bring about health implications in the long run.”
Previous research has suggested that teens’ social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood.However,it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal(因果的)—it could be that other factors,such as different family backgrounds,might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and poor health in adulthood.Also,most research has focused on teens’ relationships with their peers(同龄人),rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further,Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study,a national study in the U.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood.The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings(兄弟姐妹).As teens,participants answered questions,like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?” As adults,participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s.However,when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together,only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students.“This is not something that most teachers receive much training in,” Kim said,“but it should be.”
