过去将来时
过去将来时
项目
内容
定义
过去将来时表示从过去的某个时间点来看,将要发生的动作或存在的状
态。它常用于间接引语、宾语从句等需要“站在过去看未来”的语境中。
1.would+动词原形:结构:主语+would+动词原形+其他。用
法:强调从过去的角度看,后面发生的动作(纯粹将来,或意愿、习惯
等)。例:He said he would come the next day.(他说他第二天会来。)
结构
2.was/were going to+动词原形:结构:主语+was/were+going to+
动词原形+其他。用法:强调过去计划、打算做某事,或根据迹象判断
将要发生某事。例:I was going to call you,but I forgot.(我本打算给你
打电话,但忘了。)
①用于间接引语/宾语从句:当主句谓语动词是过去时(如said,told,
knew,thought)时,从句中的将来时需改为过去将来时。直接引语:She
said,"I will leave.”间接引语:She said that she would leave.
②表示“过去计划/打算做某事”:常用was/were going to,常暗示计划
未能实现。例:They were going to build a school,but they ran out of
核心用法
money.
③表示“过去即将发生的动作”:常用was/were about to+动词原形
(happen/occur/stat..),强调即刻性。例:The train was about to leave
when we arrived.
④与条件状语从句连用:常用于表示“如果过去发生某事,就将会发生
另一事”。例:He said if it rained,he would stay at home..
过去将来时不能单独使用,必须依附于一个“过去”的时间参照点(如:
yesterday,last week,in 2000,when I was young).
在宾语从句中,即使主句是过去时,如果从句表示的是客观真理或不受时
注意事项
间限制的事实,仍用一般现在时,不用过去将来时。
"was/were going to'”与“would”有时可互换,但前者更强调计划
性,后者更强调意愿或纯粹将来。

一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Passage 1
In the digital age,avatars have become a common way for people to represent themselves online
However,a growing body of research suggests that the way we design and use these digital identities can
have profound effects on our real-world behavior and self-perception.
A study conducted at Stanford University found that participants who used tall,attractive avatars in virtual
environments later behaved more confidently in face-to-face negotiations than those who used shorter,
less appealing avatars.This phenomenon,known as the"Proteus effect,"suggests that the characteristics
of our digital selves can influence our offline actions.
But the impact of avatars goes beyond confidence.A 2019 study from the University of Barcelona
showed that people who used avatars that resembled their ideal selves(thinner,fitter,more stylish)were
more likely to engage in healthier lifestyle choices in reality,such as exercising more and eating better.
Conversely,those who created avatars that were significantly different from their real appearance
sometimes experienced increased dissatisfaction with their own bodies.
Moreover,avatars can shape social interactions.Researchers at the University of Cambridge found that
people are more likely to trust avatars that have human-like facial expressions and gestures.In virtual
meetings,participants responded more positively to avatars that mirrored their own movements in real
time,creating a sense of rapport.
However,there are risks.Some users create multiple avatars to hide their true identities,leading to
dishonest behavior.Cyberbullying and online fraud often involve the use of fake avatars.As a result,
many social platforms now require users to verify their identities by linking real names or phone numbers
In conclusion,while avatars offer creative freedom and can even promote positive changes,they also
raise ethical questions about authenticity and trust.Understanding the psychology behind avatar use is
crucial for both developers and users in the evolving digital landscape.
()1.What does the Stanford study suggest about the "Proteus effect"?
A.Avatars have no influence on real-life behavior.
B.Taller avatars make people less confident.
C.The appearance of avatars can affect offline confidence.
D.Only attractive avatars lead to positive outcomes.
()2.According to the passage,how can avatars influence health behaviors?
A.They always cause dissatisfaction with one's body.
B.They have no relationship with real-life choices.
C.They can encourage healthier habits if they resemble ideal selves.
D.They are mainly used for entertainment puposes.
()3.What did the Cambridge research discover about avatars?
A.Avatars with human-like expressions are considered less trustworthy.
B.Users prefer avatars that make exaggerated gestures.
C.Avatars that mimic users'movements help build trust.
D.Virtual meetings are less effective with avatars.
()4.Which of the following is a risk mentioned in the passage?
A.Avatars always look better than real people.
B.Some users use fake avatars for dishonest activities.
C.Avatars make people exercise less.
D.All platforms require identity verification.
()5.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Avatars are only useful for online gaming.
B.Avatars have both benefits and risks,affecting behavior and trust.
C.Avatars should be banned due to cyberbullying.
D.The Proteus effect is the only important finding about avatars.
Passage 2
The concept of"digital twin"has moved beyond manufacturing and into education.A digital twin is a
virtual replica of a physical object,system,or even a person,which can be used for simulation and
analysis.In schools,digital twins of classrooms,laboratories,and campus facilities are being created to
enhance learning experiences.
At the University of Tokyo,researchers have developed a digital twin of their chemisty lab.Students can
use VR headsets to explore the twin,conduct virtual experiments,and observe reactions in a safe
environment.This approach has proved especially valuable for dangerous or expensive experiments that
would be impossible to perform in a traditional classroom.
But digital twins are not limited to physical spaces.Some institutions are experimenting with "personal
digital twins"-virtual representations of individual students that track their leaming progress,
preferences,and challenges.These twins can predict which topics a student might struggle with and
suggest personalized resources.For example,if a student's digital twin shows a pattern of errors in solving
quadratic equations,the system automatically recommends targeted practice problems.
Despite these advantages,critics raise concemns about data privacy.The detailed information collected by
digital twins-including facial expressions during online classes,keystroke patterns,and even heart rate
from wearable devices-could be misused.Schools must ensure that such data is encrypted and used
only for educational purposes,with clear parental consent.
Furthermore,digital twins rely heavily on accurate modeling and real-time data.If the input data is
incomplete or biased,the twin may produce misleading predictions.Educators warn against over-reliance
on technology,emphasizing that human judgment remains irreplaceable in teaching
As digital twin technology matures,its potential to transform education is enormous.However,balancing
innovation with ethical safeguards will determine whether this tool becomes a powerful ally or a risky
distraction in classrooms.
()1.According to the passage,what is a "digital twin"in education?
A.A physical robot that copies student movements.
B.A virtual copy of a physical leaming space or student data.
C.A twin student who helps others learn.
D.A computer program that replaces teachers.
()2.Why is the digital twin of a chemistry lab considered valuable?
A.It allows students to perform dangerous experiments safely.
B.It is cheaper than real lab equipment.
C.It can be used without any teacher supervision.
D.It eliminates the need for real experiments.
()3.What is the main concern regarding personal digital twins?
A.They are too expensive for most schools.
B.They might lead to students cheating on tests.
C.They collect sensitive personal data that could be misused.
D.They are not accurate enough to be useful.
()4.What waming do educators give about digital twins?
A.They should never be used in schools.
B.They should only be used for science classes
C.Reliance on them should not replace human teaching judgment.
D.They require too much training for teachers.
()5.What is the author's attitude toward digital twins in education?
A.Completely supportive.
B.Cautiously optimistic,noting both potential and risks.
C.Strongly opposed.
D.Indifferent.

三、阅读短文回答问题
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。
In recent years,"phubbing"-the act of snubbing someone in favor of a smartphone-has become a
widespread social issue.A 2023 study by the Pew Research Center found that 82%of teens felt ignored
when their friends used phones during face-to-face conversations.
However,a new app called"RealConnect"aims to reverse this trend.The app uses a combination of
facial recognition and screen-time tracking to detect when a user is phubbing someone.When the app
senses that the user has been staring at the screen for more than 30 seconds while another person is
present,it sends a gentle vibration and a notification:"Someone is waiting for your attention."
The app's developers,a team of college students from MIT,say their goal is not to shame users but to
raise awareness."We're not anti-technology,"says lead developer Sarah Chen."We're pro-connection.
The app helps people make conscious choices about where to focus their attention."
Initial user feedback has been mixed.Some users report that the app made them more mindful in social
settings.Others,however,find the constant reminders annoying and feel that the app is 'judging"them.
Privacy advocates have also raised concems that the app's facial recognition feature could be misused if
the data falls into the wrong hands.
Despite these concems,the app has been downloaded over 500,000 times in its first month.Schools in
three states have begun pilot programs to test whether using the app in classrooms can improve student
engagement during group work.
The debate over phubbing highlights a larger challenge of the digital age:how to balance the benefits of
constant connectivity with the need for real human interaction.Apps like RealConnect represent one
attempt to solve that problem,but whether they are part of the solution or part of the problem remains to
be seen.
1.What does the term "phubbing"mean?
2.According to paragraph 1,what percentage of teens felt ignored by phone use?
3.How does the app RealConnect remind users to stop phubbing?
4.What is the main concern raised by privacy advocates about the app?
5.What larger digital-age challenge does the passage mention?

范文:
Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you're interested in avatars.In my view,using avatars can be both fun and useful.
They allow people to express creativity and protect privacy online.However,there are also risks.For
example,some users may hide behind fake avatars to cheat or bully others.That's why I think it's
sensible to use avatars wisely.First,never share personal information like your real name or address.
Second,always remember that behind every avatar is a real person-treat others with respect.I'd love
to hear your opinion on this topic.Do you think avatars are helpful or harmful?Looking forward to
