What's wrong? B：I can't find my English book. Where __1__ it be？I __2__ have lost it. A：Don't worry. Let's see where it __3__ be. B：I think I __4__ leave it in the reading room. But it isn't there.

(4)特殊疑问句：特殊疑问词或词组＋一般疑问句(即：had＋主语＋动词的过去分词＋其他)? (5)被动语态：主语＋had (not)＋been＋动词的过去分词＋其他． 3．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by/by the end of/“before＋过去的时间点”/“by the time＋一般过去时从句”等。 (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。 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。 【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，若主句、从句表示的动作紧密相连，则主句、从句都用一般过去时。如： Where did you study before you came here？你来到这儿前在哪儿学习？ After he closed the door，he left the classroom.他关上门后就离开了教室。 (3)根据上下文来判定。 4．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”。 (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。 (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。 (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，一直延续到某一过去时间，而且动作尚未结束，仍然有继续下去的可能。 语法精练 Ⅰ.用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 1．By the time I reached home，my mother (cook) supper already. 2．Catherine (finish) the letter before her mother came into her bedroom. 3．The train (leave) when I got to the station. 4．The little girl (lie) in bed for almost a month since she fell(fall) sick. 5．By the end of last year，he (learn) 3，000 English words. 6．It was the third time that the girl (invite) him. 7．I  (not find) the dog until last night. 8．He told his mother that he (run) out of money to buy new clothes. 9．Tom said that he (keep)  the book for two weeks. 10．I suddenly remembered that I (leave)the key in my classroom when I (get) home yesterday. 五．话题写作 日常生活中，我们可能会面临各种各样的突发状况，如身体不适、车子抛锚等。假如你是张玲，一天早上你的父母有事不在家，而打算和你一起去上学的弟弟突然发烧了。面对这样的突发状况，你是怎样应对的？请你写一篇英语短文，讲述这件事情。 要求：1．语句通顺，合乎逻辑；2．不少于80词(开头已给出，不计入总词数)。 思路点拨 角色——Zhang Ling 组句成篇 On the morning of Wednesday this week，my parents were out for business.

情态动词有can(could)，may(might)，must，have to，shall(should)，will(would)，dare(dared)，need，ought to等。 情态动词无人称和数的变化，不能单独使用，必须与其后的动词原形构成谓语。 1．情态动词的一般用法 (1)can与could ①表示能力(体力、知识、技能)。 此时可用be able to代替。can只有一般现在时和一般过去时，而be able to则有更多的时态。 当表示“经过努力才得以做成功某事”时应用be able to，不能用can。 ②表示请求或允许。 此时可与may互换。在疑问句中还可用could，might代替，不是过去式，只是语气更委婉，不能用于肯定句和答语中。如： —Could I come to see you tomorrow？我明天可以来看你吗？ —Yes，you can./No，I'm afraid not.是的，可以。/不，恐怕不行。 ③表示客观可能性(客观原因形成的能力)。 (2)may与might ①表示请求或允许。 might表示请求或允许时比 may语气更委婉，并不是其过去式。否定回答时可用can't或mustn't，表示“不可以，禁止”。 用“May I…？”征询对方许可时比较正式和客气，而用“Can I…？”在口语中更常见。 ②用于祈使句，表示祝愿。如：May you succeed！愿你成功！ (3)must与have to ①表示必须、必要。 在回答由must引出的问句时，如果是否定的，不能用mustn't(禁止，不准)，而用needn't或don't have to(不必)。如：—Must we hand in our exercise books today？我们今天必须交练习本吗？ —Yes，you must./No，you don't have to/you needn't.是的，你们必须今天交。/不，你们不一定要今天交。 ②must是说话人的主观看法，而have to则强调客观需要。must只有一般现在时，而have to 有更多的时态形式。如：I had to work when I was your age.我像你这么大时，就必须工作了。 (4)dare与need ①dare作情态动词用时，常用于疑问句、否定句和条件从句中，其过去式为dared。如： He daren't speak English before such a crowd，dare he？他不敢在人群前说英语，是吗？ ②need 作情态动词用时，常用于疑问句、否定句。在肯定句中一般用must，have to，ought to，should代替。如：—Need I finish the work today？我需要今天完成这个工作吗？ —Yes，you must./No，you needn't.是的，必须今天完成。/不，不一定要今天完成。 ③dare和need作实义动词用时，有人称、时态和数的变化。在肯定句中，dare后面常接带to的不定式。在疑问句和否定句中，dare后面可接带to或不带to的不定式。need后面只能接带to的不定式。如： He doesn't dare(to) answer.他不敢回答。 He needs to finish his homework today.他今天要完成家庭作业。 (5)shall与should ①shall 用于第一人称，表示征求对方的意见。 What shall we do this evening？今天晚上我们做什么？ ②shall 用于第二、三人称，表示说话人给对方的命令、警告、允诺或威胁。如： You shall fail if you don't work hard.如果你不努力就会失败。(警告) (6)will与would ①表示请求、建议等，would更委婉。如： Will/Would you pass me the ball，please？请问你能把那个球递给我吗？ ②表示意志、愿望和决心。如：I will never do that again.我再也不会那样做了。 ③would表示过去反复发生的动作或某种倾向。would表示过去的习惯时比used to正式，且没有“现已无此习惯”的含义。如： During the vacation，he would visit me every other day.假期里，他每隔一天看我一次。 (7)should与ought to ①should，ought to表示“应该”，ought to表示义务或责任，比should语气重。如： I should help her because she is in trouble.我应该帮她，因为她陷入麻烦了。 You ought to take care of the baby.你应该照顾这个宝宝。 ②表示劝告、建议或命令时should，ought to可通用，但在疑问句中常用should。如： You should/ought to go to class right away.你应该马上去上课。 Should I open the window？我应该打开门吗？ 2．情态动词表推测 (1)can表示推测(惊讶、怀疑、不相信的态度)，用于疑问句、否定句和感叹句中。如： Can this be true？这可能是真的吗？ This can't be done by him.这不可能是他做的。 How can this be true？这怎么可能是真的？ (2)may/might表示推测、可能性(不用于疑问句)。might不是过去式，它所表示的可能性比may小。如： Your mother may/might not know the truth.你妈妈可能不知道真相。 (3)must表示推测、可能性(只用于肯定的陈述句)。如： You're Tom's good friend，so you must know what he likes best.你是汤姆的好朋友，你一定知道他最喜欢什么。 (4)should，ought to(客观推测)，must(主观推测)。如： He must be home by now.他现在一定回家了。(断定他已到家) He ought to/should be home by now.他现在应该到家了。(按理应当，不太肯定) 二、used to “闯三关” 1．用法关 used to后接动词原形，表示过去经常性或持续性的动作或状态，意为“过去常常”。如： I used to get up very early.我过去常常很早起床。 When I was young，it used to be very cold in winter.在我小的时候，冬天经常很冷。 2．句式关 其否定形式为didn't use to do sth.或usedn't to do sth.；一般疑问形式为Used sb.to do sth.？或Did sb.use to do sth.？；附加疑问句式为use(d)n't sb.或didn't sb.。 3．辨异关 be/get used to后面接名词或动词ing形式时，表示“习惯于(做)某事”，其中to为介词；be used to后面接动词原形时，表示“被用来做某事”。其中to是不定式符号。如： I'm used to walking to school now.我现在习惯步行去学校。 The computer is used to store information.这台电脑被用来储存信息。 五．话题写作 荣光学校九年级(2)班就“环境问题”召开了一次班会，并且以“Our Environment in Ten Years：for Better or

On your back? On your side? How about standing up? Unless you happen to be a giraffe, I’d never have thought anyone would choose the last one. But now thanks to a Japanese company, it could actually be a real competitor. Giraffenap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy with the purpose of improving performance at work. In an introduction to the nap (小睡) box, the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed (恢复精神的). But why does it have to be standing? The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state in which they breathe easily. When they wake up, they can feel the influence of a nap without having to sleep too much. And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy (头景目眩的). Also, making the box vertical (垂直的) rather than horizontal (水平的), means that it takes up half as much floor space. Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? Of course not. Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀), legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms. I hope you’ll try sleeping standing up—just like giraffes do. Giraffenap has been made in two different styles—a futuristic (极其新潮的) one named “Spacia”, and a wood-covered one named “Forest”. They’re scheduled to be released towards the end of next year, so when that time comes, I guess you’ll just have to pick your favorite design, and slot yourself in ready for a good nap. 1．Giraffenap was designed with the purpose of ________. A．taking naps when tired or sleepy B．improving work performance C．feeling refreshed in just 20 minutes D．returning to work without feeling dizzy 2．Why does the company recommend (推荐) standing up to take a nap? A．It takes up more floor space. B．It helps users fall asleep too much. C．It’s difficult for users to breathe easily. D．It can help users feel refreshed in a short time. 3．What does the company say about the napping box? A．It allows users to fall asleep easily. B．It saves floor space when not in use. C．It provides four points of support for the head. D．It will be available for sale at the end of next year. 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．The box’s appearance. B．The box’s materials. C．The box’s use of space D．The box’s sale date. 5．The underlined sentence “Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing?” suggests that ________. A．people would fall down if they tried to sleep standing up B．the author doubts if it is necessary to stand up to take a nap C．people may care about the safety of taking a nap standing up D．it is unnecessary to worry about falling down while standing up to sleep Do you know anything about the invention of the bar code (条形码)? A small food store owner found it was difficult to keep records of the product information. In 1948, he contacted (联系) the Drexel Institute of Technology to solve this problem. Bernard Silver was interested in it and he began to look into it. Silver and his students realized their answer in the form of ultraviolet light (紫外线), ink and a scanner (扫描仪). The system did work at first, but it’s very expensive and sometimes the system didn’t work well. If the invention was to become popular in grocery stores, the problems had to be solved. Finally, Silver solved them. The patent (专利权) for the bar code system was asked by Silver and Woodland in 1949. But the patent was not given until 1952. Although this patent was given, the system was still not popular among store owners. In 1966, the system began moving its way into more grocery stores. Logicon developed the Universal Grocery Products Identification Number (通用标识码) in 1970. Marsh’s superstore in lroy was the first store to set up this bar code reading system. It became very popular ever since, and now it’s obviously popular in all types of stores worldwide (在世界各地). 1．What did the store owner think of keeping records of the product information? A．It’s interesting. B．It’s boring. C．It’s easy. D．It’s not easy. 2．What does the underlined phrase “look into” mean? A．be made up of B．make a study of C．look up D．learn about 3．How many years did it take Silver to get the patent? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 4．Who developed the bar code reading system? A．Silver. B．Silver’s student. C．Logicon. D．Woodland. 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．The bar code, an exciting invention. B．How bar code was invented. C．Why stores use the bar code. D．How bar code was used. ①Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. ②Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars have many advantages. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer crowded roads and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. ③According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more are hurt in accidents. Self driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. ④But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn’t see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction. ⑤It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 1．According to the passage, it is ________ to develop self-driving cars for disabled or blind people. A．difficult B．creative C．helpful D．unnecessary 2．What does the underlined part in the third paragraph mean? A．Self-driving cars would cause 90 percent road accidents of all. B．Self-driving cars would cause 10 road accidents among 100 ones. C．90 percent of self-driving cars would cause road accidents. D．Self-driving cars could reduce the number of road accidents from 100 to 10. 3．The purpose of the passage is to tell us ________. A．how self-driving cars work B．why self-driving cars were invented C．what we should do to use self-driving cars safely D．that self-driving cars bring both convenience and problems 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives. He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again, and it took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers? There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that. Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today. Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today! 1．What was Tim Berners-Lee interested in? A．Looking for jobs in different cities. B．Learning how to improve memory. C．Talking to people around the world. D．Studying how to connect computers. 2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”. A．working on early computers B．connecting different facts together C．travelling to the office in Switzerland D．repeating the answers to the same questions 3．Why is Tim Berners-Lee one of the most important men in the world? A．He made the first computer when he was 21 years old. B．He made information sharing on the Internet possible. C．He helped people understand better how the brain works. D．He invented the Internet and made it free for everyone to use. 4．In what order did the following events take place? a. Tim worked in England. b. Tim worked in Switzerland. c. Tim made his first computer. d. Tim invented the World Wide Web. e. Tim studied science at Oxford University.

The third Sunday in June—which falls on June 16 this year—is Father’s Day. In the past, women were more likely (可能) than men to look after children, as fathers would spend most of their time working. 1 Fathers also help out when it comes to doing housework and taking care of children. Fathers are usually the first man to appear in their children’s lives. 2 Many studies have shown that if a father spends more time raising his child, his son or daughter will feel safer and more confident. 3 For example, studies show that fathers are better than mothers at teaching children how to swim or ride bicycles. 4 Swimming and riding bicycles together are ways of spending high quality (质量，品质) time together for dads and kids. Father’s Day is a good time to say “thanks” to your father.

A Frenchman, Niepce, needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. 1 He put his invention in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. In 1837, a new kind of camera was invented. 2 He took a photo of his reading room. In his picture, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest things. Soon other people began to use Daguerre’s method. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. 3 Then people could take pictures of moving things, although it was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and machines. But this did not stop them. With the development of science and technology, a Chinese young man, Wang Mengqiu, invented Hover Camera (无人相机). It can record people and things more wonderfully. 4 Hover Camera records movements with a 13 MP camera and takes 4K video. You can use a smartphone to control it. It can follow you, flying or staying in mid-air. In this way, it can get the perfect pictures. 5 It can be folded (折叠), so it can be put into a small bag. When the power is low, it can land safely. A．In about 1840, photography was developed faster. B．Few people were interested in taking photos. C．So he invented a very simple camera in 1826. D．And Hover Camera is easy for the users to carry. E．The man who invented it was Daguerre, also French. F．At that time, cameras were much too expensive.

Active Play 1 For younger kids this can mean just going outside and literally running around in circles. Games are popular for the younger set（一伙人）. For older children, active play might be a little more focused（专注的）. Some kids are going to go into sports; they might spend their time playing football, baseball or basketball. 2 Inactive Play Even the youngest kids aren’t going to be able to run around all the time. 3 Parents should allow kids to play as much as humanly possible, as long as they are doing it in a healthy way. When they have free time, this kind of play should always be encouraged. Of course, even the most active mind also needs a break every now and then. Rest and Relaxation 4 Resting and relaxing can mean a whole host of（许多）different ways to while away（消磨）the hours. Settling down with a good book is certainly one way to spend some time in a fun and productive way.

Ms. Liu, the guide, showed us around a smart home. We started with the front door. Ms. Liu asked me to ring the doorbell. I didn’t notice the tiny camera that was fixed just above it. After I pressed (按) the doorbell, the camera sent a live video (视频直播) to the home-owners. “They can electronically open the door when they are not at home,” said Ms. Liu. The other thing I couldn’t see on the door was a lock. “There must be one,” I thought. At this time, Ms. Liu took out a smart phone and put it against the door. And it opened. “Oh, the key is on the smart phone.” After entering the living room, I saw a computer on a table. By using the computer, the owners can control how much energy is used. In this way, they can manage their living cost. One of the rooms I wanted to see most was the bedroom. To my great surprise, the bed disappeared into the floor at the touch of the smart phone. The window has a smart blind (百叶窗). It can be raised and lowered with a voice. As I left the smart home, I looked back on what I had just seen. Scientists often say that these products are improving our life. I think the technology in the smart home may make us lazier. However, there is no doubt that it will become more popular in the homes of tomorrow. 1、2题完成句子；3~5题简略回答问题。 6．Ms. Liu showed the students around in a science museum. 7．The home-owners can electronically when they are not at home. 8．Where is the key to the door? 9．How can the owners control how much energy is used? 10．Do you like the technology in the smart home?
