Lesson 62:After the fire 火災(zāi)過(guò)后
Firemen had been fighting the forest for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control. A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills. Winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction, for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well. When the fire had at last been put out, the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly. The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain. By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root. In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.

真題測(cè)試 測(cè)試語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):“by +時(shí)間名調(diào)”用于完成時(shí)態(tài)
The mayor of Beijing says that all construction work for the Beijing Olympics ( )by 2006. (2004年高考北京卷,第27題)
A. has been completed B. has completed
C. will have been completed D. will have completed
答案:選C
分析:此題考查動(dòng)詞的語(yǔ)態(tài)和時(shí)態(tài)。很顯然本句應(yīng)該用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),因此排除B、D;根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)by 2006,應(yīng)選擇將來(lái)完成時(shí),因此選C。
翻譯:北京市市長(zhǎng)說(shuō)所有有關(guān)北京奧林匹克的建筑將于2006年完成。
9、 In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries, patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.
