雅思考试语法之时态解析

雅思考试语法之时态解析给大家分享了时态的概念和分类，时态对雅思考试的作用以及常见时态的用法，大家可以参考一下。 一、时态的定义和分类 在英语中，为了表示行为发生的时间和说话时的关系，需要用时或时态。不同的时态表示不同的时间与方式。在英语中，共有16种时态，常见的时态有8种(红色字体)。大家可以看下表： 二、时态对雅思考试的作用 对于雅思听力考试而言，要求考试的答案非常准确。其中一项考察的就是答案的时态是否正确，比如一般过去时写成了一般现在时，现在完成时写成了一般将来时等等。对于雅思阅读而言，文章中出现各种各样的时态更是家常便饭，同学们只有掌握了不同时态的具体含义，才能更好地明白那些句子表达的意思，才能更准确地做题。 对于雅思口语和写作来说，时态的考察更为严格。如果雅思口语中出现了时态的表达错误，或者自己交流过程中，只会频繁的只用一种时态，考官会偏向于降低的你的口语成绩。写作考试，不管是大作文还是小作文，出现了时态错误，可能你的作文等级就会降低。这是因为对时态的把握是英语表达中最基本的技能，用不同的时态表达同一句话绝对是两个意思。 三、常见时态的语法讲解 1. 一般现在时/过去时/将来时：一般时态表示现在、过去、将来发生的动作、情况、状态和特征。另外，一般现在时还可以表示客观事实和普遍真理。一般现在时的结构为：主语+do/does/am/is/are+…;一般过去时的结构为：主语+did/was/were+…;一般将来时的结构为：主语+will+do/be+…。大家可以参考下面的例子： 例1：一般过去时

(Unprecedented construction of tens of thousands of monumental) engineering projects (designed to control floods, protect clean water supplies, and provide water for irrigation and hydropower) brought great benefits to hundreds of millions of people. (剑7 Test 4 Passage 2) 句子结构分析：这句话的主干是一般过去时engineering projects brought great benefits to hundreds of millions of people. 童鞋们，前面那些一大串Unprecedented construction of tens of thousands of monumental 都是修饰主语的，后面的designed作后置定语修饰主语，后面跟了三个to do 结构：to control… protect…and provide…。 例2：一般将来时+一般现在时 Through meeting with the staff and satisfied students they develop the expectation that learning will be easy and pleasant and that they will successfully learn several hundred words of the foreign language during the class. (剑7 Test 4 Passage 3) 句子结构分析：Through引导方式状语，句子主干是一般现在时they develop the expectation that…，由and 连接的两个并列that从句，作定语修饰the expectation。两个定语从句都是一般将来时。 2. 现在进行时/过去进行时：进行时态表示现在或过去正在进行的动作。现在进行时的结构为：主语+am/is /are doing+…;过去进行时的结构为：主语+was/were doing+…。举例如下： 例1：现在进行时 We are studying English at present . 例2：过去进行时 I was washing my hair when you knocked at the front door. 3. 现在/过去完成时：现在完成时表示动作到现在为止已经完成或刚刚完成;或者表示从过去某时刻开始，持续到现在的动作或情况，并且有可能会继续延续下去。过去完成时表示在过去的某个时间或动作以前已经发生的动作或已经存在的状态。就是我们常说的：表示"过去的过去的动作或状态"。现在完成时的结构为：主语+have/has +done +…;过去完成时的结构为：主语+had +done +…。 例1：现在完成时+一般在现在时 Given that there is a living to be made at night, and given that alternative daytimetrades are thoroughly occupied, natural selection has favoured bats that make a go of the night-hunting trade. (剑7 Test 4 Passage 1) 句子结构分析：Given that考虑到，作状语，第一个that引导there be宾语从句，第二个that引导主系表结构的从句，主句是现在完成时，natural selection has favoured bats…，第三个that引导定语从句修饰bats。

雅思英语阅读练习题及答案12

雅思英语阅读练习题及答案：第十二篇雅思英语阅读练习题及答案：第十二篇 ★Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief, continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in 2007. Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia), but in 2006 the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade, briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag, 2006’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in 2007, though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years, European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty: the Maastricht treaty in 1992, the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the Treaty of Nice in 2001. And in 2005 they were supposed to ratify a European constitution, laying the ground for

雅思英语阅读练习题及答案

雅思英语阅读练习题及答案：第一篇 内容摘要：The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels. ★Why did a promising heart drug fail? Doomed drug highlights complications of meddling with cholesterol. 1. The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels. But many researchers remain confident that drugs to boost levels of 'good' cholesterol are still one of the most promising means to combat spiralling heart disease. 2. Drug company Pfizer announced on 2 December that it was cancelling all clinical trials of torcetrapib, a drug designed to raise heart-protective high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). In a trial of 15000 patients, a safety board found that more people died or suffered cardiovascular problems after taking the drug plus a cholesterol-lowering statin than those in a control group who took the statin alone. 3. The news came as a kick in the teeth to many cardiologists because earlier tests in animals and people suggested it would lower rates of cardiovascular disease. "There have been no red flags to my knowledge," says John Chapman, a specialist in lipoproteins and atherosclerosis at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris who has also studied torcetrapib. "This cancellation came as a complete shock." 4. Torcetrapib is one of the most advanced of a new breed of drugs designed to raise levels of HDLs, which ferry cholesterol out of artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body. Specifically, torcetrapib blocks a protein called cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), which normally transfers the cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins to low density, plaque-promoting ones. Statins, in contrast, mainly work by lowering the 'bad' low-density lipoproteins. Under pressure 5. Researchers are now trying to work out why and how the drug backfired, something that will not become clear until the clinical details are released by Pfizer. One hint lies in evidence from earlier trials that it slightly raises blood pressure in some patients. It was thought that this mild problem would be offset by the heart benefits of the drug. But it is possible that it actually proved fatal in some patients who already suffered high blood pressure. If blood pressure is the explanation, it would actually be good news for drug developers because it suggests that the problems are specific to this compound. Other prototype drugs that are being developed to block CETP work in a slightly different way and might not suffer the same downfall. 6. But it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is flawed, says Moti Kashyap, who directs atherosclerosis research at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California. When HDLs excrete cholesterol in the liver, they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process. So inhibiting CETP, which prevents the transfer of cholesterol from HDL to LDL, might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible
