过去完成时
1.基本结构:
语 法 探 究
10
2.基本用法:
(1)表示在过去某个时间或动作之前就已经发生的动作,通常简称为“过去的过去”。句中常有by, by the end of等介词(短语)和by the time, before, when, until等引导的状语从句。如:
When the police arrived, the thief had already escaped through the back door.
警察到的时候,小偷已经从后门逃走了。
By the time he graduated, he had published several short stories.
他毕业时,早已发表了好几篇短篇故事。
语 法 探 究
11
(2)表示发生在过去某个动作或时刻之前的动作一直延续到过去的另一个时间,常与for, since等词连用。如:
When Jack arrived, Mary had been away for almost an hour.
当杰克到达时,玛丽已经离开快一个小时了。
语 法 探 究
12
3.过去完成时在几个重点句型中的应用:
(1)在no sooner…than…, hardly/scarcely…when…句型中,主句用过去完成时,意为“一……就……;刚……就……”。如:
We had no sooner arrived there than the meeting began.
我们一到那儿,会议就开始了。
I had hardly/scarcely returned from work when the rain poured down.
我刚下班回来,大雨就倾盆而下。
语 法 探 究
13
【名师点津】
若把句型中的no sooner, hardly/scarcely放在句首,主句用部分倒装,即提前助动词had。如:
No sooner had I sat down than there was a loud knock on the door.
我刚坐下就有人大声敲门。
Hardly/Scarcely had she stepped out of the car when she noticed the keys were still inside.
她一从车里出来,便发现钥匙居然还留在车上。
语 法 探 究
14
(2)在“It was the first/second/…time that…”句型中,that从句用过去完成时。如:
It was the first time that I had ever travelled alone.
这是我第一次独自旅行。
语 法 探 究
15
(3)表示“意愿,打算”的动词(如hope, mean, want, think, expect, plan, intend等)的过去完成时表示“原本……(但事实上并没有……)”之意。如:
We had expected to arrive early, but there was a traffic jam on the way.
我们原本预计会早到,但路上堵车了。
They had wanted to help but couldn’t get there in time.
他们本来想帮忙,但是未能及时赶到那里。
语 法 探 究
16
4.过去完成时与一般过去时、现在完成时的区别:
(1)一般过去时侧重发生在过去的客观事实;而过去完成时强调动作发生在过去的过去,一定有一个表示过去的参照点。如:
By the end of last year, we had produced 20,000 cars.
到去年年底,我们已经生产了20 000辆汽车。
A thief broke into his house last night and stole some of his wife’s jewellery.
昨晚一个小偷闯进他家,偷走了他妻子的一些首饰。
语 法 探 究
17
(2)过去完成时以过去作为时间参照来谈论更远的过去;现在完成时以现在作为时间参照来谈论过去。如:
He has just graduated from Harvard and is trying to find a job in Beijing.
他刚从哈佛大学毕业,正努力在北京找工作。
Mary was pleased to see that the seeds she had planted in the garden were growing.
玛丽很高兴看到她在花园里种下的种子正在生长

Scientists make amazing paint
using ideas from nature
The colours in most paint come from pigments(颜料)—coloured things such as minerals, metals or chemicals. But nature has another way to create colour, called “structural colour”. Structural colour comes from tiny shapes on the surfaces of things like wings, feathers or shells. 1._______ Now scientists have used nanotechnology(纳米技术) to make paint with structural colour.

2._______ They were trying to create a special mirrored surface. But they found super-small clumps of aluminum atoms(铝原子团块) on the surface. The researchers were upset because these small clumps messed up the mirror. Then they realized that the clumps made colours when light hit them. They decided to turn their discovery into paint.
All the colours in the new paint come from aluminum. There are tiny aluminum pieces and then even smaller nanoparticles(纳米颗粒) that create the colours.

The nanoparticles don’t really produce the colour. They simply reflect back a single colour. 3._______

What’s more, the new paint doesn’t heat up like regular paint. That’s true even for darker colours. The new paint can keep surfaces up to 16.6℃ cooler than normal paint. Using the paint on buildings in cities could help cool cities and reduce the electricity spent on air conditioning.
