过去完成时
1.概念:过去发生或已经完成的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,或从过去已经开始,持续到现在的动作或状态。
2.时间状语:recently, lately, since…for…,in the past few years, etc.
3.基本结构:have/has + done
4.否定形式:have/has + not +done.
5.一般疑问句:have或has提前
概念:过去完成时表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成了的动作,即"过去的过去( past-in-the-past )"。
----|-------------------------- |-------------------------------|---------------------------->
那时以前 那时 现在
构成:过去完成时由"助动词 had + 过去分词"构成,其中 had 通用于各种人称。
They had already had breakfast before they arrived at the hotel.
She had finished writing the composition by 10 :00 this morning.
二、过去完成时的判断依据
1. 由时间状语来判定
一般说来,各种时态都有特定的时间状语。与过去完成时连用的时间状语有:
( 1 ) by + 过去的时间点。
如: I had finished reading the novel by nine o'clock last night.
( 2 ) by the end of + 过去的时间点。
如: We had learned over two thousand English words by the end of last term.
( 3 ) before + 过去的时间点。
如: They had planted six hundred trees before last Wednesday.
2. 由"过去的过去"来判定。
过去完成时表示"过去的过去",是指过去某一动作之前已经发生或完成的动作,即动作有先后关系,动作在前的用过去完成时,在后的用一般过去时。这种用法常出现在:
( 1 )宾语从句中
当宾语从句的主句为一般过去时,且从句的动作先于主句的动作时,从句要用过去完成时。在told, said, knew, heard, thought等动词后的宾语从句。如:
She said that she had seen the film before.
( 2 )状语从句中
在时间、条件、原因、方式等状语从句中,主、从句的动作发生有先后关系,动作在前的,要用过去完成时,动作在后的要用一般过去时。如:
When I got to the station, the train had already left.
After he had finished his homework, he went to bed.
注意: before, after 引导的时间状语从句中,由于 before 和 after 本身已表达了动作的先后关系,若主、从句表示的动作紧密相连,则主、从句都用一般过去时。如:
Where did you study before you came here?
After he closed the door, he left the classroom.
( 3 )表示意向的动词,如hope, wish, expect, think, intend, mean, suppose等,用过去完成时表示"原本…,未能…"
We had hoped that you would come, but you didn't.
3. 根据上、下文来判定。
I met Wang Tao in the street yesterday. We hadn't seen each other since he went to Beijing.
三、过去完成时的主要用法
1. 过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束,即发生在"过去的过去"。如:
When I woke up, it had stopped raining.
我醒来时,雨已经停了。(主句的动作发生在"过去的过去")
2. 过去完成时是一个相对的时态,表示的是"过去的过去",只有和过去某一时间或某一动作相比较时才使用它。如:
He told me that he had written a new book. (had written 发生在 told 之前 )
3. 过去完成时需要与一个表示过去的时间状语连用,它不能离开过去时间而独立存在。此时多与 already , yet , still , just , before , never 等时间副词及 by , before , until 等引导的短语或从句连用。
如:Before she came to China, Grace had taught English in a middle school for about five years.
Peter had collected more than 300 Chinese stamps by the time he was ten.
4. 过去完成时表示某一动作或状态在过去某时之前已经开始,一直延续到这一过去时间,而且动作尚未结束,仍然有继续下去的可能。
如: By the end of last year, he had worked in the factory for twenty years. ( had worked 已有了 20 年,还有继续进行下去的可能)
四、过去完成时与现在完成时的区别
现在完成时表示的动作发生在过去,但侧重对现在产生的结果或造成的影响,与现在有关,其结构为"助动词 have (has) + 过去分词";过去完成时则是一个相对的时态,它所表示的动作不仅发生在过去,更强调"过去的过去",只有和过去某时或某动作相比较时,才用到它。试比较:
I have learned 1000 English words so far.
到目前为止我已经学会了 1000 个英语单词。
I had learned 1000 English words till then.
到那时为止我已经学会了 1000 个英语单词。
- I'm sorry to keep you waiting. 对不起,让你久等了。
- Oh, not at all. I have been here only a few minutes.
没什么,我只等了几分钟。("等"的动作从过去某一时间点持续到现在)
- John returned home yesterday. 约翰昨天回到家的。
- Where had he been?[来源:Zxxk.Com]
他去哪儿了?(答语中使用过去完成时是指约翰在 returned home 之前去了哪些地方,即"过去的过去")
五、过去完成时与一般过去时的区别[来源:学科网]
虽然这两种时态都表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态,但在使用时应注意以下几点:
1. 时间状语不同:过去完成时在时间上强调"过去的过去";而一般过去时只强调过去某一特定的时间。试比较:
They had arrived at the station by ten yesterday.
They arrived at the station at ten yesterday.
2. 在没有明确的过去时间状语作标志时,谓语动词动作发生的时间先后须依据上下文来判断:先发生的用过去完成时,后发生的则用一般过去时。如:
She was very happy. Her whole family were pleased with her, too. She had just won the first in the composition competition.
3. 当两个或两个以上接连发生的动作用 and 或 but 连接时,按时间顺序,只需用一般过去时来代替过去完成时;另外,在 before , after , as soon as 引导的从句中,由于这些连词本身已经表示出时间的先后,因此也可以用过去时来代替过去完成时。如:
He entered the room, turned on the light and read an evening paper
I (had) called her before I left the office.
过去完成时可表示过去未曾实现的想法和打算,通常连用的动词是 want, think, hope, plan, mean, expect, intend, suppose 等:[来源:Z。xx。k.Com]
I had meant to come, but something happened. 我本想来,但有事就没有来。
I had intended to speak, but time did not permit. 我本想发言,但时间不允许。
We had hoped that you would come to see us, but you didn’t. 我们本想你来看我们的,但你没有来。

Hr, these people had another small boat-a lifeboat, and they all got into that. They lived and hoped for many days. They ate and slept, and they always hoped. At last a ship found them.
How do people live in a very small lifeboat? Perhaps for weeks or months? They must be strong in every way. They must have hope-they want to live. But you cannot cat and drink hope.

Hasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. “Clothes can be reused continuously,” Kourda says. A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes to change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process.
The clothing industry is considered to be responsible for 8%~10% of global carbon emissions (碳排放), according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job to play its part.
Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to look for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe (衣柜) , uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image (形象) of a user’s wardrobe—people can either take pictures of clothes or allow Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair services and environmentally friendly dry cleaning services.
In October, the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes. “Our goal” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better.”
Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology to make a difference in the clothing industry. From encouraging new ways of buying clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045.
1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A.Kourda was raised by her grandmother. B.Kourda’s family has valued old things in life.
C.Kourda’s grandma reused clothes to make money. D.Kourda’s parents are too poor to buy new clothes.
2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How Kourda guides users to do online shopping.
B.Why Kourda’s company works with other companies.
C.How Kourda’s company helps to limit carbon emissions.
D.Why Kourda builds a digital image of the users’ wardrobes.
3.What is the goal of Save Your Wardrobe?
A.To help users buy cheaper wardrobes. B.To check users’ online shopping history.
C.To encourage users to buy less and better clothes. D.To connect users to repair and dry cleaning services.
4.Which statement would the author most probably agree with?
A.People will stick to old traditions of buying clothes.
B.Customers might need less service for their clothes soon.
C.Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future.
D.The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly.
①A new form of transport will be with us in the next few years—flying taxis. Many of us grew up watching sci-fi (科幻) movies with flying taxis. They are now becoming science fact.
②The Japanese airline ANA teamed up with a US tech start-up called Joby Aviation. The two companies want to start producing flying taxis at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. They are now working together on building the flying taxi. They also need to work out what traffic rules the taxis will need to follow, and what kind of training flying taxi pilots will need. The five-seat, all-electric taxi will be able to take off and land freely. It will fly about 300 kilometers an hour.
③Joby’s CEO said the taxis would be good for the environment. He told reporters, “Joby helps people save time while cutting down their carbon footprint (碳排放量). Japan offers us a good chance to do that with 92% of the population living in cities, and Tokyo being one of the top 20 busiest cities in the world.” The president of ANA, Koji Shibata, was also excited about the project. He said, “ANA has 70 years of experience. It can offer safe flights (飞行) to customers across the world. Also, it is able to offer them the chance to travel fast. From an international airport to the center of a city is very popular.” The two companies successfully tested a flying taxi for the first time in 2020. They plan to start the world’s first flying taxi service at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
④So, the flying taxi is closer to our life. People’s dream of taking a flying taxi will soon come true.

Japanese researchers have invented a special kind of electric chopsticks recently. 1 So the chopsticks can help people take in less salt while they are enjoying delicious food.
2 The chopsticks are connected to a small device (装置) worn by the eater. Weak electricity carries sodium ions (钠离子) from food through the chopsticks to the mouth. They’ll create a sense of saltiness in the mouth. As a result, the salty taste increases by 1.5 times. The traditional diet in Japan is salty. 3 That is twice the amount (数量) one should take in according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Too much salt intake may lead to high blood pressure and some other illnesses.
4 “If we try to avoid taking in too much salt in the usual ways, we need to delete a lot of our favorite food from our food list. Or we have to eat tasteless food,” the researcher said. Now, the electric chopsticks provide us with another way to take in less salt.
How amazing the electric chopsticks are! You may be looking forward to using them. 5
The scientists are improving their chopsticks and hope to have them ready to sell as early as next year.
A.He has also invented a television screen that allows people to taste different foods.
B.The chopsticks can make food taste saltier.
C.To stay away from these illnesses, we need to eat less salt.
D.How do the chopsticks work?
E.But now they are not available in the market.
F.A Japanese adult usually eats about 10 grams of salt each day.
G.When were the electric chopsticks invented?

Umbrellas could be one of the world’s most important inventions. The first umbrella was invented over four thousand years ago.
Umbrellas were used on sunny days at first. Chinese people were the first to use their umbrellas on rainy days. They waxed (给……打蜡) their paper umbrellas so that they could be used when it was raining.
The word “umbrella” comes from the Latin word, umbra. It means shade (背阴). Starting in the 16th century, the umbrella became popular in the Western world, especially in northern Europe, where it often rains. At first, people thought that the umbrella was only suitable for women.
Then a famous English traveler, Jonas Hanway (1712-1786), carried and used an umbrella in England for thirty years. Because of him, men began to use umbrellas.
In Europe, early umbrellas were made of wood and covered with canvas (帆布).
People used very hard wood to make umbrella handles. In 1852, Samuel Fox invented a new kind of umbrella with ribs (伞骨) made of steel.
Samuel also started a company called English Steels Company. After that, compact collapsible (可叠) umbrellas were the next important step in umbrella production.

Long time ago, people from other cultures used their hands to eat food, while the ancient Chinese invented chopsticks to keep their hands clean. Early chopsticks were used mainly for cooking until 400 A.D.when people began eating with chopsticks.
We don’t know exactly when chopsticks were invented. There’s a research showing that they didn’t come into wide use until about 300 B.C. Chinese thinker Confucius was an important person in the history of chopsticks, because he thought peace would not appear if people used knives during a meal.
The “no-knives-on-the-table” rule led to a big change in Chinese cooking. Food had to be cut into small pieces. This was the birth of Chinese cooking and it has made Chinese food popular around the world.
However, many Westerners find it difficult to use chopsticks. Eric, a foreign teacher, had the experience of learning to use chopsticks. “I need to hold them properly to be able to put the food carefully into my mouth.” Eric’s Chinese friends taught him patiently, but it still took him months to learn this skill. “But it’s worth learning. I have learned a lot from this experience,” Eric said.
Cultures can often be understood through food. For Chinese, food doesn’t just provide energy. It also brings happiness. And chopsticks also mean a lot. As a good example of Chinese culture, they show the Chinese wisdom (智慧).
