一、过去完成时的被动语态的基本用法
1.当by,before,when,by the time,until等引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词是一般过去式时,以及by,before等后接过去的时间时,主句的动作发生在从句的动作或过去的时间之前,且表被动时,要用过去完成时的被动语态。

Paris was diagnosed(诊断) with motor neurone disease(MND) in 2017,and was told she had five years to live.The condition will gradually paralyse(使……瘫痪) her,leaving her trapped inside her body.
Due to her condition,she’s more likely to fall and has received serious injuries.She felt it was very important to teach her girls what to do in a dangerous situation she might be in.This included applying pressure to a bleeding wound,what to do if someone is choking and how to call emergency services.
The girls know that if their dad isn’t home and an emergency happens there are three steps.Step one is to ring 999,ask for an ambulance and give their address.Step two is to put their dogs in the garden,and step three is to open the front door for the emergency services.
After the accident,Paris was so grateful that she had taught her daughters what to do in such a situation.But accidents like that can happen to anyone.So if your kid hasn’t learned first-aid skills yet,it’s time to do that now.

Since it’s made up of over 7,000 islands,the Philippines is not a train-heavy nation.That means coach buses are going to be your best choice for getting city-to-city.There is a small light rail system in the Manila metro area(called the Light Rail Transit System or “LRT” for short),but it has a bad name for being delayed most of the time.
If the phrase “coach bus” calls forth images of old Greyhounds,you’re off the mark.Because coaches in the Philippines are the primary means of intercity transit,many popular bus companies actually feature onboard attendants(think flight attendants,but,you know,on a bus) as well as entertainment centers,posh seats,and other comfortable accouterments(配备).
There’s no one central bus company in the Philippines,so central bus stations are uncommon.That means you need to know which company you want to take,what bus to get on,and where to catch it.Connect with a Filipino local for help when you’re planning your trip.They’ll help you figure out the who/what/where/when of bus transit and walk you through the entire process.
Besides coach buses,jeepneys are also very popular.They are old military jeeps left over from the US occupation of the Philippines which have since been converted into colorful,uniquely-Filipino private buses.They’re cheap,usually around 10 pesos per ride,they’re everywhere,and they’re probably the most popular form of mass transit in the Philippines.
More than anything though,jeepneys are colorful.The owners take lots of pride in their rides,and it’s common to see richly-painted jeepneys on most major roads.Where do you catch a jeepney and where do they go? Make it easy on yourself: have your local trip planner contain at least one jeepney ride into your travel plan—they’ll give you all the information you need.
5.How does a coach bus in the Philippines differ from a Greyhound?
A.Often running behind the schedule.
B.Traveling within the city area of Manila.
C.Painted with bright colors with low cost.
D.Comfortable equipment with fine service.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,菲律宾长途客车与老旧灰狗巴士不同的是,菲律宾长途客车有堪比空姐的乘务人员,有豪华舒适的座位,还有娱乐中心等配套设施。故选D。
6.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Jeepneys are popular as they are modern and comfortable.
B.A Filipino local is the best choice to help you plan your trip.
C.A central bus station can give you the information you need.
D.Coach buses provide the experience of a flight with low cost.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,菲律宾没有中央巴士公司,因此要想在菲律宾旅行顺利,需要联系菲律宾当地人寻求帮助。故选B。
7.What can be impressive transit if you travel in the Philippines?
A.LRT. B.Train.
C.Jeepney. D.Coach bus.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段以及最后一段首句“More than anything though,jeepneys are colorful.”可知,吉普尼最具菲律宾特色,是最能给游客们留下深刻印象的交通工具。故选C。
8.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Tourist Attractions in the Philippines
B.Cheap Unique Transit in the Philippines
C.Options of Transportation in the Philippines
D.Special Traveling Experiences in the Philippines
答案 C
解析 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“...the Philippines is not a train-heavy nation.That means coach buses are going to be your best choice for getting city-to-city.”以及下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了在菲律宾旅行时可以选择的交通工具。故选C。
Ⅳ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Sleeping in class prevents you from paying attention to the teacher as well as stops you from learning about the material that is being taught. 1 It is important to determine why you are falling asleep in class and try to change the situation so that you are able to stay awake and pass all of your classes.There are a number of different tricks you can use to try to stay awake,as well as habits you can adopt to help your alertness.
Get a full night’s sleep on school nights.The National Sleep Foundation has reported that teenagers may need more sleep than adults. 2 This is a key part to staying awake in class.If you are not tired,you are unlikely to fall asleep.
Eat a healthy breakfast full of nutritious foods. 3 If you get hungry or tired in the middle of the day,try eating a healthy snack like a piece of fruit or some biscuits.If necessary,drink something with sugar or caffeine in it directly before the class.
4 If you are actively engaged in the information the teacher is presenting,you are less likely to doze off.Taking notes,asking questions and otherwise getting involved in classroom activities and discussions will make you far less likely to doze off.
Contact your doctor in order to rule out medical conditions that can cause you to fall asleep. 5 Prescription drugs may also cause sleepiness or drowsiness as a side effect,so discuss any medicines you are taking with your doctor.
A.Get involved during class.
B.Early to bed,early to rise.
C.It can also get you in trouble with your teachers.
D.It can provide you with enough protein to fuel your body.
E.Energy-boosting drinks keep you energized during the time you’re in class.
F.Go to bed earlier and make sure you get as many hours of sleep as your body needs.
G.If you have a medical condition that is causing you to fall asleep in class,you will need to be treated by a professional.
1.答案 C
解析 根据上文可知,课堂上睡觉坏处很多,设空处继续列举。因此,选项C“It can also get you in trouble with your teachers.”符合文意,且It指代上文的Sleeping in class,also也是暗示点。故选C。
2.答案 F
解析 根据本段首句“Get a full night’s sleep on school nights.”可知,本段从充足的睡眠这一角度展开,再结合下文“This is a key part to staying awake in class.”可知,选项F“Go to bed earlier and make sure you get as many hours of sleep as your body needs.”符合上下文语境,下文中的This指代选项F表达的内容。故选F。
3.答案 D
解析 根据上文“Eat a healthy breakfast full of nutritious foods.”可知,该句是本段中心句,设空处应该解释为什么需要吃营养早餐,选项D“It can provide you with enough protein to fuel your body.”对此作出了解释,故选D。
4.答案 A
解析 由上下文段落结构可知,设空处为段落中心句,应总结该段内容。由该段下文内容可知,本段主要讲的是积极地参与到课堂中。故选项A“Get involved during class.”符合语境。故选A。
5.答案 G
解析 根据上文“Contact your doctor in order to rule out medical conditions that can cause you to fall asleep.”可知,嗜睡可能是一种病。结合选项G“If you have a medical condition that is causing you to fall asleep in class,you will need to be treated by a professional.”与上文相呼应,选项中的be treated by a professional与上文的Contact your doctor对应,故选G。
Ⅴ.语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,共15分)
Erhai Lake 1. (know) since ancient times as the “flawless jade among mountains” due to the color and purity of its waters.Beside the Erhai Lake,a mountain peak,named Cangshan,2. (cover) with snow all year round.

1.答案 has been known
解析 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句中的since ancient times可知,此处谓语动词需用现在完成时,“be known as”意为“作为……而出名”,句子主语Erhai Lake为第三人称单数,故填has been known。
2.答案 is covered
解析 考查动词时态、主谓一致和固定搭配。此处是在讲一个事实,故用一般现在时态。主语“a mountain peak”为第三人称单数,“be covered with”意为“被……覆盖”,故填is covered。
3.答案 was sent
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。此处在讲过去的一个传说,故用一般过去时态。主语the husband为单数,与send之间为被动关系,故应用被动语态,故填was sent。
4.答案 had been killed
解析 考查时态和语态。根据句意可知,她担心他已经在战争中死了。“他在战争中死了”这件事发生在过去的过去,故用过去完成时。he与kill之间为被动关系,故应用被动语态。故填had been killed。
5.答案 was being formed
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句意可知,当公主日夜一直在哭泣的时候,洱海也在逐渐形成。故此处应用过去进行时的被动语态,主语Erhai Lake为第三人称单数,故填was being formed。
6.答案 had died
解析 考查时态和语态。根据句意可知,当她的丈夫回来时,他发现公主死于心碎。公主死这个动作发生在found之前,应用过去完成时。故填had died。
7.答案 into
解析 考查介词。固定短语turn into“变成”,结合句意,此处指他发誓要变成一座山。故填into。
8.答案 where
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空格处引导定语从句,先行词为 hotels and pubs,在从句中作地点状语,所以要用关系副词where。故填where。
9.答案 attractive
解析 考查形容词。修饰名词spot要用形容词,所以此处要用形容词attractive,故填attractive。
10.答案 being told
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构,空处应用非谓语动词,此处表示“倾听正在被讲述的每一个故事”,story与tell之间为动宾关系,表示正在被进行的动作,所以此处要用being done形式作后置定语,故填being told。
