asleep是形容词，意为“睡着”，强调状态，常作表语。fall asleep意为“进入梦乡；睡着”。如：

章节，段落

passage 作“(文章的)段落”解时, 不限于文章的一个自然段, 也可以由若干句

话或若干个

paragraphs 组成。

[即学即练] 翻译下列句子。

2) 他对她抽烟感到很震惊。

3. My parents did not talk after that, and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence.

without speaking or making a sound;

silently

e.g. Many patients were waiting in silence.

许多病人在静静地等候着。

A hundred and fifty reporters sat in silence.

在场的150名记者静静地坐在那里。

4. … most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center

in New York was taken down by terrorists.

此句中was taken down是被动语态。意思是“被摧毁”。其中take down表示将

建筑物或高的物体“拆除；拆掉；拆卸”，此处根据上下文可翻译成“摧毁；毁掉”。如: They’re talking about how to take that wall down.

他们在讨论如何拆除那堵墙。

1) towers在句子中指的是世贸中心的双子塔。

2) remember doing something 表示“记得曾经做过某事” ;

Remember to turn off the lights when you leave the room.

在你离开房间之前, 记得把灯关了。(现在还没有关灯)

6. I didn’t believe him at first.

at first “起初，首先”，作为介词短语，只起副词作用（在句中用作状语）。

at firs 主要用于强调前后对照，暗示接下去的动作与前面的动作不同甚至相反，因此

常有

but, afterwards, soon, at last 等相呼应。

e.g. At first I didn’t want to go, but soon I changed my mind.

我开始不想去，但我很快就改变了主意。

3. 时间状语词: at 5:00 yesterday afternoon, at that time, then 等连用, 或者用另一动作来表示过去的时间。如：

过去进行时着重描述当时正在持续进行的动作，它的特点是：暂时，持续和未完成，强调过程；一般过去时表示发生过的动作或存在的状态，即表示动作发生过，而且已经结束了，强调结果。

D 1) Shirley ______ a book about China last year but I don’t know whether she had finished it．

A. has written

B. wrote

C. had written

D. was writing

2) Mary ____ a dress when she cut her finger. C

A. made

B. is making

C. was making

D. makes

was making 表示正在做衣服的过程，如用made 则表示这一动作已结束，做衣服的动作已结束与

cut her finger就没有联系。

wrote 3) He _______ (write) a letter, then went to bed. wrote 表示动作已结束，做另一件事，如用was writing 就与

went to bed 在逻辑上相矛盾。

过去进行时侧重表示动作延长的时间长度; 一般过去时表示过去某时发生过某事，侧重说明事实。

He ___________ all night last night. was writing （他一直写……）

wrote He ________ something last night．

（说明他写了……的事实）

注：下列几类动词通常不用过去进行时。

①

表示状态的动词

be；

感官动词：feel, hear, see, smell, taste等;

③

表示思维或心理状态的动词：believe (认为), forget, consider, know, remember, hope, wish, want 等；

④

表示所属关系的动词：belong, have, own, hold (容纳)等。

when, while 区别：

1. 由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；

由while引导的时间状语从句，主句用一般过去时，从句应用过去进行时。

When the teacher came in, we were talking.

当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为：

While we were talking, the teacher came in.

2. 如果从句和主句的动作同时发生，两句都用过去进行时的时候，多用while引导。如：

They were singing while we were dancing.
