前    言
亲爱的同学们:
你们好!欢迎你们学习使用仁爱版初中英语教材,让我们一起徜徉于知识的海洋!
仁爱版初中英语教材是由上海外国语大学王德春教授、加拿大英语专家Jim Greenlaw博士
和北京市仁爱教育研究所数十位英语专家及中国优秀的英语教师依据教育部《义务教育英
语课程标准(2011年版)》,针对中国广大初中学生的英语学习现状编写而成的初中英语
教材,它将陪伴你们度过绚丽斑斓的初中生活。
通过七、八年级的学习,你们已经具备了一定的英语语言知识和技能。在九年级阶
段,你们的综合语言运用能力将得到进一步的提升。在本册教材中,共有四个话题与大家
分享:家乡的变化、环境与环保、英语学习和新奇的科学技术。新的学期到了,康康和他
的小伙伴儿们各自在假期做了哪些有意义的事情呢?康康参加了环保小组,你们想知道如
何成为一名环保者吗?康康他们班在班会上交流了一些学习英语的好方法,都是哪些方法
呢?迈克尔和简参观了科学博物馆,他们都了解了哪些发明呢?通过本册教材的学习,你
们就会得到答案了。相信你们会乐意融入他们的学习、生活中,并逐步地学会用英语谈论
这些话题;你们还将有很多机会参与到双人或小组活动中去,与同伴们一起用英语完成任
务,如角色表演、海报制作、学习评价等有趣的活动,并在每个话题结束时表演或展示自
己的作品。
伴随这些有趣的故事和活动,你们将学到一些比前几册教材里更为复杂的语言结构,
如现在完成时、被动语态和定语从句等。这些知识会使你们能运用更丰富的英语语言来进
行表达。教材的语音学习部分将着重展现语篇中的语音,帮助你们运用七、八年级所学的
语音知识进行综合的训练。你们熟悉的金钥匙会依然给出一些有效的学习方法。
此外,现阶段我国还有少部分地区师资欠缺、开课不足,一些孩子的英语基础相对薄
弱,为此我们在七年级上册设计并调整了第一单元作为预备学习单元,供你们选用。
同学们,希望你们能积极热情地参与教材中的活动、享受英语学习的乐趣,使你们的
听说读写能力得到全面的提高!我们相信只要认真地将整套六册仁爱版初中英语教材学
完,你们都能达到教育部《义务教育英语课程标准(2011年版)》的五级英语水平要求,
并能满怀信心地迎接未来每一天的挑战。

1. Is There Life Out There? 
Scientists think that there has been life on 
earth for millions of years. However, we haven’t 
found life on other planets yet. The earth is a planet 
and it goes around the sun. And there are seven 
other planets that also go around the sun. The sun 
and its planets are called the solar system. The 
solar system is a small part of the universe.
Scientists have launched many spaceships to explore other planets in the solar 
system. Some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system. However, no one 
has discovered any life in space yet.
Why has no one from other planets sent us a message? Have they tried to 
send information to us? With so many stars in space, are we alone, or is there life 
on other planets in space?

Look at the pictures of Beijing

guess the meaning of each word 
and the main idea of the text.
roads — narrow
houses — small, crowded
ring roads — wide
houses — comfortable
communications — 
simple, slow
communications —
various, quick, easy
I’m Kangkang. For this report I have interviewed my grandmother about 
the life in Beijing. She has lived here for over 60 years and has seen a lot of 
changes. 
Back in the 1960s, things were difficult. The roads were narrow and there 
weren’t many ring roads. Families lived in small houses, and people were very 
close to each other. Almost all children could go to school but they did not have a 
lot of books to read. People could go to see a doctor, and the medicines were very 
cheap but there were not many good medicines back then. People kept in touch 
with their friends and relatives far away mainly by letter or telegram.
Changes in Beijing
When reading a passage, try to 
figure out the meaning of each new 
word by looking at the pictures or 
the context of the word.

China has developed rapidly since the reform and opening-up. More and more 
ring roads and subways have appeared and buildings in Beijing are becoming 
taller and brighter. People’s living conditions have improved a lot. And there are 
more kinds of food and clothes to satisfy people’s needs. Children can study not 
only in modern schools but also on the internet. People can enjoy good medical care. 
What’s more, communications are becoming easier and quicker — people can use 
telephones, cellphones, fax machines and the internet. 
Beijing has made rapid progress and it has already succeeded in hosting the 
2008 Olympic Games. I think it is important to remember the past, live in the 
present and dream about the future.
Read 1a and match the words and phrases with their meanings.
1. What was/were ... like in the past?
2. What has happened to ... nowadays?
3. What will ... be like in the future?
Work in groups and talk about the changes in your hometown. 
Then report it to the class.

situation in the past and at present based on 2.
It is important to write a topic

Leisure activities are the kinds of things people like to do to relax and enjoy 
themselves when they are not working or going to school. Leisure activities play an 
important part in people’s lives. In the past, there were few leisure activities. Children 
often got together to play hide-and-seek. People met to play cards or chess in the 
street. Few people had chances to travel. Watching operas and listening to the radio 
were the main activities in their spare time. 
Since the reform and opening-up, Chinese people have had more time to spend 
on various kinds of leisure activities. A lot of people love both to play and to watch 
team sports like basketball or football. Many people stay at home having a rest,

Hello, Michael. I have just called you, but you weren’t in. Where have 
you been?
I have just been to a shopping center with Kangkang. I’ve never been 
there before, but I don’t want to go there any more. 
Why not?
Because there were too many people. We 
got lost and couldn’t find each other.
Bad luck! Have you found him yet?
No, he has probably gone home. Let’s

The more people, the better? Not necessarily. Some countries have large 
populations. This has been both good and bad for these countries. The large pop­
ulations have helped them develop, but have 
caused them some serious problems as well.
Because of the large populations, there 
was less living space for each family in some 
countries. And what was worse, it was difficult 
for lots of people to find jobs. At the same 
time, the large population caused many other difficulties. For example, it 
was hard for the countries to supply water and energy to satisfy people’s 
daily needs. Many cities are more crowded and the traffic is much heavier, 
too. 
So far, some governments have taken many measures to solve the problems. 
And they worked well. Thanks to the efforts of the governments, people’s living 
conditions are improving rapidly. The natural environment is becoming better 
and better.

Chongqing, China. I have lived here since I was three.

One of the most basic human needs is a home. A home is a safe place. While 
most people around the world value their homes, there are many people in every 
country who are homeless.
Some people are homeless for a short period of time because they are 
moving from one place to another, and other people are not able to find a home. 
They must live on the streets or in a shelter.
There are many causes of homelessness. Sometimes people can not keep a 
home because they do not earn enough money, or because they do not have a job.
Sometimes people are homeless because they have a problem with drugs or 
because they have a mental illness. No one is ever homeless on purpose.
Whatever the cause of homelessness is, the effects are the same. Homeless 
people must work very hard to live. They can not raise their children. Sometimes 
they must steal food just to eat. The government in every country has worked for 
many years to support the homeless but more needs to be done. We must think 
of the homeless as people, not just as problems.

Write a short passage for your school newspaper. Tell everybody about 
the changes in Chinese teenagers’ leisure life.
Chinese Teenagers’ Leisure Life
Nowadays, Chinese teenagers have many outdoor and indoor activities.
They have plenty of chances to go outside and join in all kinds of outdoor 
activities. They can enjoy the fun of teenager life as well as the sunshine. During their 
holidays, they may get close to nature to enjoy its beauty. They can go to the seaside 
to swim in the sea, sunbathe and play beach volleyball. They can go climbing to share 
fresh air with the singing birds. Sometimes, they might go out for a picnic to have 
fun together. They can also get close to culture by going to cultural parks and visiting 
museums. In their spare time, teenagers often play team sports together, like football 
and basketball. But their grandparents hardly had any chance to do these in their 
childhood.
Teenagers also enjoy many indoor activities. They can have a party with their 
friends at weekends. If they don’t want to go out, they may surf the internet to chat 
with others. They may watch their favorite TV programs or movies without leaving 
their homes.
 How happy the Chinese teenagers are!

In today’s world, almost everyone knows air pollution is harmful to 
people’s health. However, not all people know noise is 
also a kind of pollution and is harmful to humans’ health. 
People who work and live in noisy conditions often 
go deaf. For example, many of the workers who print 
newspapers and books lose their hearing. Quite a few 
people living near airports also have hearing loss. Recently, it was reported 
that many teenagers in America can hear no better than 65-year-old people do, 
because these young people always listen to loud pop music. 
Making a loud noise in public is also a kind of pollution. It not only disturbs 
others but also does great harm to people’s hearing. Cars and machines also produce 
too much noise. Such pollution makes people feel 
uncomfortable and unpleasant, and it can even cause 
them to become sick or deaf. Nowadays, many countries 
are trying to solve all sorts of environmental problems, 
including noise pollution.
Before you read, write down the things that can make noises. Then read

Recently, people and the governments have worked together to make the en­
vironment better. They have used new technologies and have taken steps to deal 
with pollution. This has made the environment healthier. All these show that the 
world is becoming greener and more environmentally friendly.
However, in the past, there was a lot of pollution, including air pollution, soil 
pollution, noise pollution, and light pollution.
Burning gas, oil, and coal created air pollution. It caused sore eyes and 
breathing problems. With the increase in population and the development of in­
dustry, people had to put lots of litter into the land. In the fields, farmers used too 
many chemicals which destroyed the soil. Soil pollution led to unhealthy food.
Noise pollution harmed people’s hearing. People would become deaf if they 
worked in a noisy place for a long time. Too much noise could cause high blood 
pressure as well.

Look at the following pictures and predict the main idea of the passage.
______ All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. When it rains 
or when the wind blows, the earth is taken away. Forests have become deserts, so 
many kinds of animals and plants are disappearing.
______ In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air. Now many people in 
cities have health problems.
______ Factories have also polluted the land and the water. As a result, many 
rivers and lakes are now dead.
______  Around the earth, there’s a special kind of oxygen called “ozone”(O3). It 
is important to the earth. But now air pollution is destroying it and making a very 
big hole in the ozone layer. Too much harmful radiation from the sun passes through 
the hole and reaches the earth directly. This is very dangerous because this kind of 
radiation can cause cancer.
______ Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air has increased a lot. It mainly comes 
from burning oil, coal and wood. This has formed a blanket around the earth. The 
heat from the sun can’t escape so the temperature is rising. This is called “the 
greenhouse effect”. It causes the level of the oceans to rise and the climate of the 
earth to change.
All these problems are very serious, so we must do something now.
The earth is 4.6 billion years old. We humans have lived on the earth for only 35 000 
years, but during this period, we have changed our planet a lot in many ways. Some 
things we have done are very good for the earth while others are bad.

(      ) The sea seems to have the best answer. There is plenty of water in the sea. 
But we need to take the salt away from the sea water. This is very expensive. If 
scientists can find cheaper ways to do it, we can solve the problem of the shortage 
of water. 
(     ) How can we avoid a serious water shortage? First, we should save water 
and not waste it. Second, we should protect our water resources and not pollute 
them. Third, we should discover ways to reuse water. Scientists have made some 
progress in this field. Today, some large cities are reusing their water. But people’s 
need for water is increasing day by day. We still don’t have enough water. What 
else can we do?
(     ) Although the world is hungry, it is even thirstier. While nearly 3/4 of the 
earth is covered with water, we are still short of drinking water. This is because 
about 97% of the water on the earth is sea water. So we can’t use it for watering 
plants or drinking directly. Humans can only drink and use fresh water from 
places including rivers, lakes and underground.

Hi, Kangkang. Could I ask you a few questions?
Certainly. 
We all know that you’re working for an 
organization that protects the environment. 
Can you tell us what you are doing there?            
Well, my main job is to help spread the 
message about protecting the environment. 
For example, it’s important to reduce, reuse and recycle the litter.
So what can we do at home to protect the environment?
We should reduce the waste we produce. For example, we should use 
both sides of paper and reuse plastic bags.
What can students do at school?
Recycling can protect the environment, and it can save money, too. So 
we encourage students to collect waste paper and soft drink cans. Then 
we sort them so that they can be recycled.
Wonderful ideas! Thank you!
It’s a pleasure.

            China is using new technology to make energy. They built big solar farms, 
like the Longyangxia Dam Solar Park, to produce electricity from the sun. 
Thanks to solar energy, it requires less coal and oil. It is a good way to protect our 
earth from pollution.
            China is also making more electric vehicles. Since these vehicles don’t 
need petrol, they are better for the environment and make transportation cleaner.
            China’s fast trains, like the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train, are 
making travel easier. Though they have wheels, there is no wheel noise inside. 
Even German experts think highly of the technology of China’s high-speed train. 
All of these show that China is working hard to find new and better ways to 
produce energy and make travel easier without harm to the earth. China serves as 
a good guide for other countries in using cheap and green energy.

      Sunlight can produce a lot of energy. People began to use the energy from the 
sunlight in different ways many years ago…
The sun, wind, waves and heat from deep in the earth are energy sources. 
They will never run out so they are called renewable sources. In 2011, about 
16% of energy used worldwide came from renewable sources. The use of it is

Forests are the lungs of the earth. Without them, it cannot breathe. It needs its 
forests to remove carbon dioxide from the air and to make oxygen. In many 
countries, such as New Zealand, Canada, and Brazil, forests were cut down to 
provide wood to build houses. Many volunteers around the world are working in 
their holidays to plant new trees to replace them.
They face many difficulties when planting new trees. The weather may be 
very hot and dry or it may be very cold and wet. There are often many insects 
that bite these planters on their legs, arms, and faces while they work. They carry 
heavy bags of small trees, and working in the mountains can be dangerous.
Chinese volunteers have helped plant lots of trees around the world. They have 
big plans to grow more forests and have used new technologies to reach their 
goals. By planting millions of trees every year, they are not only making their own 
environment better but also helping the whole world. This shows that Chinese 
really care about the earth.

English Around the World (Ⅰ)
Welcome ...
There are thousands of languages spoken in the world. Of all these languages, 
English is the most widely used. Recent surveys show that more than 500 million 
people speak English as their mother tongue.
From its roots in England, the language was 
spread around the world by English traders and 
English governments in new lands. One of these 
new lands became the United States of America. 
The population of the United States is 309 million, 
making it the country with the largest number of 
native English speakers.
About 300 million people speak English as their 
second language. There are even more people, like 
some in Europe as well as in China and Japan, who 
study English as a foreign language.
English has become the base language for 
international business, for the world’s airlines and 
even for the internet. Whatever language people speak, they need to know some 
English if they work in these fields. It is clear that the English language is becoming 
more important.

English has been widely used around the world. Why has this happened? We 
may find the answer from history. 
In the nineteenth century, Great Britain became a 
powerful country, so English became an international 
language. Then, since the 1950s, the USA has become 
more and more powerful. The American computer and 
internet industry have taken the leading position in the world. As a result, the 
internet has helped English to become much more popular.
China, a country with the largest population in the world, has encouraged more 
people to learn English since the 1970s. Since the 1990s, English learning has been 
very popular with Chinese people. Many of them have done well in English and 
have made great progress in speaking it.

Do you know the meaning of each phrase about dogs?
1a
a homeless dog    a mad dog   a running dog   a dog catching a mouse
Some things usually have different meanings in different cultures. Here 
are some words about animals that are used differently in western cultures and 
Chinese culture. 
Most phrases in Chinese about the dog, such as “a homeless dog”, “a mad 
dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a 
mouse”, have negative meanings. But in western 
countries, dogs are considered honest and good 
friends of humans. The word, “dog”, has positive 
meanings. For example, “you are a lucky dog” 
means you are a lucky person. And “every dog 
has its day” means each person has good luck at 
times. 
As we know, dragons are very important in Chinese culture. In ancient times, 
dragons were regarded as strong and magical creatures. They brought hope and 
good luck. The ancient emperors compared themselves to dragons. Nowadays, 
many parents want their children to become “dragons”. But in western cultures, 
dragons were dangerous animals. Heroes killed them to protect people.
Some things have similar meanings in Chinese culture and western cultures. 
The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western 
countries. People in China and the West think the rose also stands for peace, 
courage and friendship. When we pay attention to the cultural meanings of words, 
we will understand them better.

English. How to improve it was my biggest 
problem. So I turned to Mr. Brown and I’ve 
learned a lot from him.
Great. How do you remember new words?
I always copy new words on pieces of paper, stick them on the 
walls in my bedroom or in the living room, and read the words 
aloud when I see them. I change them often. Also, I always read 
the English words on the objects I see.
That sounds interesting. I’ll try it. I always read English textbooks, 
but some texts are difficult for me. Could you please tell me how 
to improve my reading ability?
Do more reading. Try to guess the meanings of new words, and 
get the main idea of the article.
Kangkang, I dare not answer questions in class because I’m afraid 
of making mistakes.
Don’t be shy. Think about your answer, take a deep breath and 
smile, and then answer the question. Smiling is always helpful.
Thank you. I’ll give it a try.

I’m very glad to share our group’s 
opinions with you. Kangkang said that he 
previewed the day’s lesson before class, 
took notes in class and reviewed them after 
class. Lin Ping said, “Read a passage. Then 
try to retell it yourself.” Yu Zhen thought 
studying grammar was important when 
learning English. I myself prefer watching 
English movies, though sometimes I can’t 
understand them exactly. These are our 
opinions. Thank you for listening!
 It’s an honor to talk with all of you 
here. Our group agrees with some of Group 
One’s opinions. However, we have some 
other ideas. Xu Duoduo said that joining an 
English club was the best way to improve 
her English. Cheng Le advised us to read a 
good English newspaper. But she said, “We 
shouldn’t translate every word when we are 
reading.” Shu Yan told us we should speak 
English with our teachers, classmates and 
even with foreigners as often as possible. 
That’s all. Thanks.
Good job! You two have told us many good methods. Each of us can 
use one or more of them. But remember to choose the ones that suit you 
best. I’m sure that you will make great progress as long as you stick to 
them. And I think keeping a diary in English is a good way to improve your 
writing. Also, the chants, songs and riddles in our textbooks are helpful.

of these things was planted in fields. They were made in factories and invented by 
someone. Inventing is interesting and exciting and everyone can be an inventor. 
Do you want to be an inventor? There are a few simple steps to follow in the 
invention process. 
◆  ______ You can have wild and crazy thoughts. Remember that no idea is too 
silly. Many people laughed at the Wright brothers and said they would never

Where Are We?
       Where are we? That was a big question when we first explored our world long 
ago. The early explorers found that the stars in the sky were good guiding marks. 
Using the stars, they could find out where they were 
and in which direction they were going. This method 
worked well at night as long as the weather was good

What do you know about Mars? What does it look like?
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in our solar sys­
tem and is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. Its di­
ameter is 53% as wide as that of the earth. Mars goes around 
the sun at a distance of about 228 million kilometers. You 
can tell which planet is Mars because it is bright red in the 
night sky. It looks like a red and orange ball. It’s very beautiful. But during spring 
and summer, the surface of Mars is covered by strong storms. The gravity on 
the surface of Mars is about two-fifths as strong as it is on 
Earth. So a person who weighs 90 kilos on Earth weighs only 36 
kilos on Mars. The temperature on Mars is between -138℃ and 
28℃. The air has only 0.13% oxygen. 
It takes a spaceship about eight months to reach Mars from the 
earth when the two planets are closest to each other. Scientists 
are still searching for more information about Mars.
______ 1. Mars looks like a red ball.
______ 2. The temperature on Mars is very high.

Hi Kangkang,
It has been two days 
 (since, from) we landed on Mars. It 
 (cost, 
took) us more than two years to 
 (leave, get) here. Generally, the journey 
went well, but the living conditions were 
 (quiet, quite) bad during the 
journey. We had to produce most of the food in the spaceship. 
(What’s 
more, What’s worse), our water supplies were very low. We had to limit the use of 
water during 
 (these, those) days. So we had a shower every six weeks. 
We will spend another seven hundred and sixty-three days on Mars. 
 (How, 
What) a long time! I often miss the family, but the excitement of being on Mars is 
worth it!
Wish me luck!

1. Is There Life Out There?	
Scientists think that there has been life on 
Earth for millions of years. However, we haven’t 
found life on other planets yet. The earth is a planet 
and it goes around the sun. And there are seven 
other planets that also go around the sun. The sun 
and its planets are called the solar system. The 
solar system is a small part of the universe.
Scientists have launched many spaceships to explore other planets in the solar 
system. Some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system. However, no one 
has discovered any life in space yet.
Why has no one from other planets sent us a message? Have they tried to 
send information to us? With so many stars in space, are we alone, or is there life 
on other planets in space?

TOPIC 3
The Importance of Computers
Since computers were invented in the USA in the 1950s, they have become 
very important in many areas of work and leisure. There is no doubt that computers 
are very useful in technology and business. 
In space, computers have been used 
to control the speed and direction of a 
spaceship. With the help of computers, 
doctors can find diseases easily and 
solve other problems. For example, tiny 
computers which are inside patients’ 
bodies can keep their hearts beating normally. In factories, robots are controlled by 
computers that are like human brains. They can do work that is dangerous to humans. 
In business, computers are used to place and cancel orders. They are also making the 
workplace safer and better.
Since the internet came into being, people’s lives at home have been changed, 
too. More and more people have personal computers that are used to search for 
information and watch movies. Thanks to the internet, people can do shopping and 
do business at home. Instead of writing letters on paper, people communicate by 
sending e-mails and chatting online. The whole world is connected. The internet is 
making the world smaller, like a village.
Computers have improved our lives, but they have brought problems, 
too. For instance, if we work on computers too long, we may get headaches or 
sore eyes, and we won’t have enough time to study or exercise. Besides, not

are used in English around the world, not just in 
Canada where English and French are used side by 
side. An example of this sort of word is “fiancé” (/finseI/). It means the man that 
a woman has agreed to marry. Another example is the word “bouquet” (/bKkeI/). 
It means a bunch of cut flowers. The English language has become more interesting 
because it has borrowed some French words.

臭氧层(OzoneLayer)
臭氧层是平流层中臭氧浓度相对较高的部分,距地面20~25千米。太阳射向地球的紫外线
大部分被臭氧层吸收,因此臭氧层是地球不可缺少的保护层。但是,由于人们大量使用的氟利昂
制剂散逸到大气层中,破坏了臭氧层。目前,南极地区臭氧层已经出现了一个大洞。
温室效应(theGreenhouseEffect)
温室效应,又称“花房效应”,是大气保温效应的俗称。大气能使太阳短波辐射到达地面,但
地表向外放出的长波热辐射线却被大气吸收,这样就使地表与低层大气温度增高,因其作用类似
于栽培农作物的温室,故名温室效应。温室效应主要是由于现代化工业社会过多燃烧煤炭、石油
和天然气,这些燃料燃烧后放出大量的二氧化碳气体进入大气造成的。自工业革命以来,人类向
大气中排入的二氧化碳等吸热性强的温室气体逐年增加,大气的温室效应也随之增强,并导致产
生全球气候变暖等一系列严重问题,引起了世界各国的关注。

Ⅳ. 现在完成时(Present Perfect)
1.现在完成时的构成
现在完成时由“助动词have/has+动词的过去分词”构成。现以动词work为例,将现在完成
时的肯定式、否定式和疑问式及其简略答语列表如下:
肯 定 式
否 定 式
I/Youhaveworked.
He/She/Ithasworked.
We/You/Theyhaveworked.
I/Youhavenotworked.
He/She/Ithasnotworked.
We/You/Theyhavenotworked.
疑问式和简略答语
HaveI/youworked?
Hashe/she/itworked?
Havewe/you/theyworked?
Yes,you/Ihave.
Yes,he/she/ithas.
Yes,you/we/theyhave.
No,you/Ihaven􀆳t.
No,he/she/ithasn􀆳t.
No,you/we/theyhaven􀆳t.
  注:规则动词的过去分词的构成与过去式相同;不规则动词的过去分词见本书《不规则动词表》。
2.现在完成时的用法
用   法
例   句
表示过去发生或已经完成的某一动作对
现在造成的影响或结果。
—Haveyoufoundhimyet?
—No,hehasprobablygonehome.(现在不在这里)
表示开始于过去并持续到现在的动作或
状态,可以和表示从过去某一时刻延续到
现在(包括“现在” 在内)的一段时间的状
语连用。表示持续动作或状态的动词多
是延续性动词。
Ihaven􀆳tseenherthesedays.
HehastaughtussinceIcametothisschool.
Howlonghaveyoubeenlikethis?
Ihavebeenlikethissincelastmonth.
Shehaslivedhereforthreeyears.
现在完成时可以和just,already,yet,ever,
never,before等词连用。
I􀆳vejustcalledyou.
Shehasalreadyfinishedit.
HasKangkangcomebackyet?
Haveyouevercookedathome?
Ihaveneverseensuchabeautifulplacebefore.
have/hasbeento和have/hasgoneto的
区别:
have/hasbeento表示“曾经到过某地”。
have/hasgoneto表示“已经去某地了”。
—Wherehaveyoubeen?
—IhavebeentoBeijing.(去过北京,已经回来)
—WhereisJane?
—ShehasgonetoBeijing.(去北京了,不在此处)
  3.短暂性动词的完成时态不能和表示一段时间的时间状语连用,当它需要与表示一段时间的
时间状语连用时,通常要进行词语转化,其转化形式为:
buy— have        come— be          gettoknow— know
begin— beon
catchacold— haveacold
marry— bemarried
borrow— keep
die— bedead
leave— beaway(from)
close— beclosed
fallill— beill
join— beamemberof/bein
Thefilmhasbeenonforhalfanhour.(正) Thefilmhasbegunforhalfanhour.(误)
Thebookstorehasbeenclosedsincelastmonth.(正) Thebookstorehasclosedsincelastmonth.(误)
注:短暂性动词的完成时态在否定句中可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。如:
4
2
1
Ihaven􀆳tseenhimforalongtime.我已经好久没有看到他了。
4.现在完成时和一般过去时的区别
现在完成时表示过去发生或已经完成的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,强调的是现在的情
况,所以它不能直接和表示过去某一时间的时间状语连用,如:yesterday,lastnight,threeweeks
ago,in2007等。而一般过去时只表示过去的动作或状态,和现在不发生联系,强调的是过去的情
况,它可以和表示过去某一时间的时间状语连用。如:
IhavebeentoBeijing.我去过北京。(我对北京有所了解)
IwenttoBeijinglastyear.我去年去过北京。(只说我去年去过北京,不涉及现在的情况)
Shehaslivedheresince2000.2000年以来她一直住在这里。(她现在还住在这里)
Shelivedherein2000.2000年她住在这里。(不涉及现在她是否还住在这里)
Ⅴ. 被动语态(The Passive Voice)
英语动词有两种语态,即主动语态(TheActiveVoice)和被动语态(ThePassiveVoice)。主动
语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。如:
Grannytakescareofthegirl.奶奶照顾小女孩。
(Granny是动作takecareof的执行者,属主动语态)
ThegirlistakencareofbyGranny.小女孩由奶奶来照顾。
(thegirl是动作takecareof的承受者,属被动语态)
1.被动语态的构成
被动语态由“be+及物动词的过去分词” 构成。be有人称、数和时态的变化,其肯定式、否定
式、疑问式的变化规则与be作为系动词时完全一样。如:
Englishiswidelyusedaroundtheworld.英语在世界上被广泛使用。
Englishisnotwidelyusedaroundtheworld.英语在世界上不被广泛使用。
IsEnglishwidelyusedaroundtheworld?英语在世界上被广泛使用吗?
Yes,itis./No,itisn􀆳t.是的。/不,不被广泛使用。
WhyisEnglishusedwidely?为什么英语被广泛使用?
Thebulbwasinventedin1879.灯泡是1879年发明的。
Wherewerelaptopsinvented?笔记本电脑在哪发明的?
Idon􀆳tthinkalienswillbefoundinspace.我认为在太空中不会发现外星人。
Whenwillthemoviebeshown?电影何时上映?
2.被动语态的用法
当我们只需强调动作的承受者,或者不知道谁是动作的执行者,或者没有必要指出谁是动作
的执行者时,要用被动语态。动作的执行者一般由by引出或省略。如:
Spanishisspokenastheofficiallanguagethere.在那儿,西班牙语是官方语言。
ItwascreatedbyAmericanscientistsin1997.它于1997年由美国科学家创建。
Theproblemhasbeensolved.(现在完成时)这个问题已经得到了解决。
Iwasboughtacellphonebymyfatherlastweek.=Acellphonewasboughtformebymyfather
lastweek.上周我父亲给我买了一部手机。
注:(1)不及物动词不能直接用于被动语态。如:
Thegirlwillbewellcaredfor.这个女孩将被很好地照顾。
(2)主动句中的宾语补足语如果是不带to的不定式,如make/see/feel/hear/noticesb.dosth.
等,在变被动句时,要加上to。如:
Theyheardagirlsinginthenextroom.他们听到隔壁房间有个女孩在唱歌。
→Agirlwasheardtosinginthenextroom(bythem).
