【重点难点】

情态动词+完成式的用法专讲专练

【学法指导】

自研，小组合作

【预习任务】

在英语中，大多数情态动词都可和完成时连用，而他们所表达的意义各不相同，

本文就此略做归纳。

一、 must+完成式，表示对过去事情较有把握的肯定猜测，且只能用在肯定式

中：

eg. He must have told the boss about it.

二、 can/can’t+完成式

1. can+完成式多用在疑问句中，表示对过去的行为惊奇、怀疑、不相信。

Eg. Can John really have done that? 约翰真的会干那种事吗？

Can she have posted the letters for me? 她是否替我把信寄出了呢？

1. 2. can’t+完成式，表示对过去事情的否定猜测，只能用在否定句中。

Eg.Jane can’t have answered for the matte简不可能为此事而负责。

三、could+完成式

1.用在意问句中，它的含义和完成式一样，但把惊奇怀疑不相信表示的更含蓄。

Eg: What could he have done? 他会怎样么做呢？

Could they have asked the professor for advice. 他们会向教授求教吗？

2. 用来表示猜测，此时即可用在肯定句中，又可用在否定句中，但语气不坚定。

Eg. The thief could have been caught stealing. 那小偷可能是当场被抓的。

The prisoner couldn’t have been set free. 那罪犯不可能被释放。

3. 用来表示本能够做，而实际未做，含有责备意味。

Eg. Helen could have informed the manager earlier 海轮本来能够早点告知经理。

四、may+完成式，表示猜测，

对过去事情把握不大的猜测，即可用于肯定局句又可用于否定句。

Eg: His parents may have known about it。 他的父母亲也许知道了那件事。

The murderer may not have executed . 那个杀人犯也许未被处死。

五．Might+完成式

和may+完成式一样，把把握不大的猜测表示的更为含蓄，也是既可用于肯

定句，又可用于否定句。

eg: Jack might have gone to college last year. 杰克去年就可能上大学了。

Mr Smith might not have been operated on.. 史密斯先生可能没有做手术。.

2. 表示可以做而未曾做，有批评的意味。

Eg. You might have finished the task on time. 你本来可以按时完成这项任务。

六. need’t+完成式，表示做了不可能的事，含有责备的意味，一般只有否定形式。

Eg: You need’t have translated it into Chinese. 你没必要将此译成汉语。

七． Shall /should /ought to +完成式，表示过去应该做而未做；其否定形式表示

不该做而做了，含有责备意味，should , shall 强调说话人的主观看法，但shall 比

should 语气强硬，表示强烈的责备，而ought to 强调被责备人有义务该或不该

做某事。

Eg:---- I have got a bad cold.我感冒了。

------ You should have put on more clothes. 你该多穿点衣服。

You should’t have come here so late。你不该来得这么迟。

The teacher ought to have cared for the student’s health too. 老师本该关心学

生的身体。

Her father ought not to have hurt her feeling. 他父亲本不该伤害他的感情。

You shall have done it well. 你本该把那件事做好。

He shall not have got up so late. 他本不该起的那么迟。

On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs.(PP.3-52) 一方面，有些现代艺术是抽象的， 也就是说，画家并不打算把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来， 而是集中展现物体的某些品质特性， 用色彩、线条和形状把他们呈现出来。 而另一方面，有些现代派的艺术作品确是那么的真实， 看上去就像是照片。

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. ”

How __1__ they were！Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into __2__ and strangers into friends.

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you __3__ there when the situation gets tough. It is the inner voice that __4__ “I can do it” when others shout, “No, you can’t do it.”

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be __5__ accepted. Yet she didn’t stop doing her experiments. Work was such a deep __6__ for her that she never thought of stopping.

We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic __7__ -- as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the hurrying of a beetle.

It is this __8__ wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist(大提琴演奏家) Pablo Casals would start his day by __9__ Bach.

As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, “Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the __12__.”

We cannot afford to waste __13__ on “might-have-beens”. Just as the saying goes, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. We need to live each moment __14__, with all our senses -- finding pleasure in the fragrance of a backyard garden, the crayoned picture by a six-year-old, or the charming beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes and __15__ the wrinkles from our souls.

Each year, Americans celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. It celebrates the first meeting between Europeans and Native American Indians over 200 years ago. Most families still follow traditions begun on the first Thanksgiving, like eating turkey but many have their own traditions that they follow each year. Here are some of the common traditions associated with “Turkey Day”.

One of the best things about Thanksgiving is spending time with family. Many people live far from family members and must travel long distances by car, train, or plane to be with their loved ones. Thanksgiving is the busiest travel day of the year!

Traditional foods are a large part of Thanksgiving celebrations. Many families include the entire family in the food preparation. Traditional foods include turkey, sauces, sweet potatoes, cornbread, and mashed potatoes. Many people serve apple pie for dessert at the end of the meal.

Some families like breaking the turkey’s wishbone a part of their celebration. Two people each take one end of the bone, make a wish, and pull. Whoever ends up with the larger part of the bone gets their wish! Many generous folks like to help the poor during Thanksgiving . Some people volunteer to serve food for the homeless.

Television also plays a part in Thanksgiving celebrations. Many families watch the New York City Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade includes marching bands, songs and giant balloons! But the thing most people do on Thanksgiving, second only to eating turkey, is watch football games on TV.

The famous architect Gaudi designed his buildings like dreams, full of fantastic colors and shapes. The Opera House in Sydney reminds people of seashells. The 2008 Olympic Stadium in Beijing looks like a bird’s nest made of tree branches.

These buildings convince people that if architects had not had special mind about the art, we would not have the chance to enjoy the beauty of art works. They seem so touching that I would rather I could visit them in the flesh now. I dream some day I can design a building that would draw the attention of people all over the world.

Last night, Yao Ming, a distinguished Chinese basketball player, announced in Shanghai that he would be retired from his basketball career then, which I found extremely shocked and upset. As we all know, Yao Ming comes from Shanghai, China, who served in The Houston Rockets Team as a super athlete in NBA. He is famous all over the world not only for his amazing height, but also for his perfect skills in basketball. In spite of this, he has never forgotten his country and his teachers in China. Yao Ming is my favorite sports star, and will remain the permanent hero in my heart.
