现在完成进行时

一、现在完成进行时

现在完成进行时是一种兼有现在完成时和现在进行时两者基本特点的时态。其结构是“have (has) +been+现在分词”。现在完成进行时有以下几方面的含义:1.表示动作从过去某一时刻开始,一直持续到现在并有可能延续下去,常与 for, since 引导的时间状语连用。

I have been teaching English for almost twenty years.

我教英语将近有20年了。

They have been living here for 10 years.

他们住在这里10年了。

2.表示动作刚刚结束。

I have been waiting for you for about half an hour.

我等你大概半个小时了。

3.表示动作的重复(指断断续续,而非一直不停)。

They have been discussing the matter several times this year.

这件事他们今年已经讨论好几次了。

4.表示某种感情色彩。

I have been wanting to see you for a long time.

我想要见你已好久了。

—I have_been_cutting (cut) up peppers for the last five minutes.

③(福建高考改编)The girl has a great interest in sport and has_been_taking (take) badminton classes twice a week over the last three years.

二、现在完成进行时和现在完成时的区别

我一直在考虑这件事。(延续性)

I have thought it over.

我已经考虑过这件事了。(影响及结果)

I have been visiting my hometown recently.

最近我经常回老家。(动作重复)

I have visited my hometown recently.

最近我回老家了。(不表示动作的反复)

Recently she has helped me a lot.

最近她帮了我很多。(陈述事实)

Recently she has always been helping me.

Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15, June, 1944 Dear kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I came here. …For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at

第一单元 路永在前方 阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中,他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录,至今,他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者,还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的,而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点,在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。 最近,阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录,其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈,在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏,在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬,但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。 想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上,你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西,但瓶子必须呆在头上。 当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时,看起来虽然很轻松容易,其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注,还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候,你还得使劲呆在球上。 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢?翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。 做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前,以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势,然后右脚向前迈一步,同时左膝触地,然后再站起来,左脚向前迈出一步,同时右膝触地。想想吧,这个动作要反复做1英里远! 然而,这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候,他很不健康(unfit),而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。 阿什利塔究竟是怎样成为一位运动员的呢?这是一个有趣的故事。少年时,他就开始探究人生的深层的意义。他研究过东方宗教,16岁时,他发现了一位名叫斯里琴摩的印度静坐功(mediation)导师,住在纽约市他家附近。自从20世纪70年代初,阿什利塔就一直是斯里琴摩的学生。斯里琴摩指出,人们发展他们的体魂与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的(spiritual)自我具有同等的重要性,并且他相信人的体能是没有局限的。 当阿什利塔1978年在纽约市中央公园进行的24小时自行车马拉松(marathon)比赛中获得第三名时,他就知道总有一天他将进入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。尽管从没有训练过,他还是受到他的精神领袖的敦促参加了马拉松比赛。因此,当他取得第三名的时候,他开始有了这样的认识:他的身躯只不过是他的精神的工具,而且他似乎能够利用他的精神力量去完成任何事。从那时起,阿什利塔就拒绝接受任何身体极限的说法。 由于有了这种新的信心, 阿什利塔于1979年第一次打破吉尼斯纪录——跳爆竹27000次。不断努力打破纪录的动机源来自他对斯里琴摩思想的虔诚。每次试图破纪录的时候,阿什里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。这个时候,他就会进入自己的内心深处,与他的灵魂(soul)和他的老师相沟通。 在创纪录的努力中,阿什利塔总是要感谢他的老师。事实上,他常穿着一件T恤衫,后背上有斯里琴摩的名言: “完美的道路只有一条,它就在你前方,永远在你前方。” 集中精力于……

人教版高中英语选修8各单元课文原文

选修8 Unit 1 A land of diversity-Reading CALIFORNIA California is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population. It also has the distinction of being the most multicultural state in the USA, having attracted people from all over the world. The customs and languages of the immigrants live on in their new home. This diversity of culture is not surprising when you know the history of California. NATIVE AMERCANS Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows. However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait in the Arctic to America by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, after the arrival of the Europeans, t he native people suffered greatly. Thousands were killed or forced into slavery. In addition, many died from the diseases b rought by the Europeans. However, some survived these terrible times, and today there are more Native Americans living in California than in any other state. THE SPANISH In the 18th century California was ruled by Spain. Spanish soldiers first arrived in South America in the early 16th century, when they fought against the native people and took their land. Two centuries later, the Spanish had settled in most parts of South America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States. Of the first Spanish to go to California, the majority were religious men, whose ministry was to teach the Catholic religion to the natives. In 1821, the people of Mexico gained their independence from Spain. California then became part of Mexico. In 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico, and after the war won by the USA, Mexico had to give California to the USA. However, there is still a strong Spanish influence in the state. That is why today over 40 of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language. RUSSIANS In the early 1800s, Russian hunters, who had originally gone to Alaska, began settling in California. Today there are about 25,000 Russian-Americans living in and around San Francisco. GOLD MINERS In 1848, not long after the American-Mexican war, gold was discovered in California. The dream of becoming rich quickly attracted people from all over the world. The nearest, and therefore the first to arrive, were South Americans and people from the United States. Then adventurers from Europe and Asia soon followed. In fact, few achieved their dream of becoming rich. Some died or returned home, but most remained in California to make a life for themselves despite great hardship. They settled in the new towns or on farms. By the time California elected to become the thirty-first federal state of the USA in 1850, it was already a multicultural society.

B 解析:推理判断题。A、D可以根据文章的最后一段排除。根据第一段欧·亨利出生时间和Beginning in 1893, he lived here. 以及第二段信息可知C为错误推理。 周三 1. D 解析:信件可以被欣赏, 被读, 被“重新读”。前三项都与本句内容不符。 2. C 解析:根据前一个分句中的内容可知几乎不费力气就可以用信件保持“友谊”。 3. A 解析:上文叙述的是信件的益处, 本段则用作者与哥哥重归于好的例子进行证明, 由此可知是“例证”。 4. C 解析:本段中间部分提到两人之间存在误解, 由此可知两个人在几年前相处得不好。get along相处融洽。 5. B 解析:根据本句后半部分中的内容可知两个人在小的时候关系非常密切, 只是随着年龄

人教版高中英语选修8 课文及翻译 选修8 Unit 1 A land of diversity-Reading CALIFORNIA California is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population. It also has the distinction of being the most multicultural state in the USA, having attracted people from all over the world. The customs and languages of the immigrants live on in their new home. This diversity of culture is not surprising when you know the history of California. NATIVE AMERCANS Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows. However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait in the Arctic to America by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, after the arrival of the Europeans, the native people suffered greatly. Thousands were killed or forced into slavery. In addition, many died from the diseases brought by the Europeans. However, some survived these terrible times, and today there are more Native Americans living in California than in any other state. THE SPANISH In the 18th century California was ruled by Spain. Spanish soldiers first arrived in South America in the early 16th century, when they fought against the native people and took their land. Two centuries later, the Spanish had settled in most parts of South America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States. Of the first Spanish to go to California, the majority were religious men, whose ministry was to teach the Catholic religion to the natives. In 1821, the people of Mexico gained their independence from Spain. California then became part of Mexico. In 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico, and after the war won by the USA, Mexico had to give California to the USA. However, there is still a strong Spanish influence in the state. That is why today over 40 of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language. RUSSIANS In the early 1800s, Russian hunters, who had originally gone to Alaska, began settling in California. Today there are about 25,000 Russian-Americans living in and around San Francisco. GOLD MINERS In 1848, not long after the American-Mexican war, gold was discovered in California. The dream of becoming rich quickly attracted people from all over the world. The nearest, and therefore the first to arrive, were South Americans and people from the United States. Then adventurers from Europe and Asia soon followed. In fact, few achieved their dream of becoming rich. Some died or returned home, but most remained in California to make a life for themselves despite great hardship. They settled in the new towns or on farms. By the time California elected to become the

人教版选修10课文译文 一次成功的失败经历 如果起初不成功,就要一次又一次地尝试。——W·C·菲尔兹 1914 年 8 月,珀斯·布莱克鲍罗参加了欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“持久号”轮船南极探险。沙克尔顿是他那个时代最负盛名的探险家,加入他的探险活动被认为是一种巨大的荣耀。现在请看读帕斯所讲故事的第一部分。 1916 年 8 月 29 日慢慢地,我把头探出睡袋,向四周看了看。一切都是灰色的:小屋里面看上去是灰色的,晨曦看上去是灰色的,燃油炉上噗噗作响的罐子也是灰色的。同往常一样,气味中混合着汗液、海豹油脂和脏内衣的味道,几乎让人难以忍受。我尝试着想一些快乐的事情:温暖和干爽的衣服、舒适的卧室、阳光灿烂的日子、妈妈的脸庞,以及返家后得到的庆贺,因为我是试图横穿南极大陆的一次失败探险活动的成员之一,这种事以前还没有人做过。正想到这儿,一条黑毛毯掉下来把我盖住,几乎把美好时光的记忆封闭住了。 一想到由于冻伤变黑而必须截去的腐烂的脚趾头,我就感到喘不过气来。我们的境况让人绝望,谁也不清楚会不会活着回去。也许好些年后,我们的尸体会被其他探险队所辨认并搜集起来。 正当我快要变得自我怜惜起来时,我们营棚的门开了,一股冷空气穿过营棚。“把门关上!”我用一种自己都快辨认不出来的沙哑的嗓音嚷嚷道。“坚持下去,珀斯。不要变成另一个汤姆。”一个声音在应答。“我们又逮住了一只企鹅,今晚有企鹅汤喝了!”保佑弗兰克一吓尔德,他可是我们的头儿欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最好的人啦。我怎么能像汤姆·奥德·利兹那样自私自利和脾气暴躁呢!我挣扎着下床,新的一天开始了。 当初宣布探险活动时,我才 20 岁,老梦想着要去冒险。所以在 1914 年 7 月的一个早晨,我是怀着无比激动的心情读以下这则广告的: 为危险之旅招募人手:工资低廉、寒冷无比、数月不见天日、无法确保安全返回。如果成功,荣耀和报酬将会接踵而至。欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士。 同伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士去南极探险——我被深深地迷住了!我是探险的门外汉,但我年轻,身体健康而且精力充沛。我偷偷地上了“持久号”轮船,藏在一个小橱里。直到轮船已开始航行了,我才被人发现,而且晕船晕得很厉害。不管怎么说,沙克尔顿似乎对我傻乎乎的行为感兴趣,并且接受了这种局面。他让我当一名伙计,协助做 28 个人一天三顿的饭菜。 1915 年 1 月 18 日,正当我们接近南极时,“持久号”被海上的浮冰(有的坚固无比,有的破裂成若干巨大的冰块浮在水上)卡住了。周围的冰都冻结了,我们千真万确地被困住了!轮船在我们的眼前慢慢地被挤坏。我相信沙克尔顿肯定会对这次探险意想不到的结局而痛心,但他并没有把时间浪费在遗憾和悔恨中。他镇静地把大家召集在一起,然后紧急宣布我们必须在船沉下去之前,只抢出基本给养,尤其是小船、食物、炊具、蜡烛、卧具和衣服。为了显示自己的决心,沙克尔顿把一些金币和他的金表扔到冰上。然而,让我感到惊讶的是,他竟鼓励赫西带上班卓琴。他把班卓琴描述成让我们保持精神振奋的关键。 他的顽强精神赢得了我们对他的完全信赖。他对我们也总是坦诚相待(就像广告中那样),他从不灰心丧气,从不放弃,甚至当轮船沉下去时也是如此。1916 年 4 月 9 日,我们搬到了大象岛上现在的宿营地。不久沙克尔顿给我们这里的生活列出了规矩:取消级别和社会地位上的差异,每个人都得忙起来;公平分配食物和卧具;关心每一个人。这种团队精神鼓舞了船员们的士气,并挽救了我们的生命。 我们在大象岛上一安顿好,沙克尔顿就马上向大家解释了他的营救计划:22 人留在这里,他挑选其他五个人去南乔治亚求援。由于谁也不知道我们身处何地,所以不能指望任何外部救援。我永远也不会忘记眼看着小船从哗哗作响的波浪中消失在波涛汹涌的大洋里的情景。留在大象岛上的人发誓要按他所主张的那样做:在他返回来救我们之前要保持乐观、恢复健康。
