7. c

“B” is wrong : “has eaten” and “ate” imply that my dinner is al l gone .

8. a

“Will”(Not: shall) denotes general predictability, that is, what holds good all time. This use is often found in general statements, including scientific and proverbial statement, e.g.

Water will boil at 100

Pigs will eat anything.

Bad workmen will always blame their tools.

9. a.

We use the present simple to talk about future events, which are already

“on a program”. This is particularly common when we refer to

timetable, but not otherwise, e.g.

The new term starts on september1.

10.c

“Be infinitive ’’ is used in conditional clauses to add the notion of volition on the part subject, and can be paraphrased into “want”

or “intend”. It can be learned as a set sentence pattern. For example: If you are to succeed, you will have to work much harder.

If we are to make an early start, we had better turn in now .

1. a. John is here

b. John may have left.

2. a. I can already see black clouds gathering.

b. Without a time adverbial, the sentence is not complete itself.

3. a. Talking about a mere fact.

b. Showing disapproval or annoyance.

4. a. The sentence is not complete without a time adverbial. Or rather

we should say “John has been to Beijing” to mean John is not there now.

b. John is in Beijing now, or on his way there.

5. a. The speaker says it in the afternoon or evening .It also means he

finished the book, or otherwise he would say “I was reading a book this morning.”

b. Now it is still the morning. It also implies the book is not finished.

6. a. Asking for advice.

b. Without any specifying adverbials, the question can be asked about

our occupation. “We teach English ,”for example ,can be the answer.

7. a. Being foolish is his permanent quality.

b. He is pretending to be foolish on purpose.

8. a. I have decided to do that specially. It is my intention or promise.

b. My driving into London is something, which will happen as “a matter

of course ”. I’ will do that anyway .So if you want me to do something in London, I can do that for you without driving into London specially.

“Will + progressive ”is often used to avoid the suggestion of intention, which is evident in “will +simple.” For example,” when will you be visiting us again,’’ because the former simply asks the listener to predict the time of his next visit, while the latter is most likely to be a question about his intentions.

9. a. Their friends came, and then they had dinner (when =after).

b. They began to eat before their friends came.

10.a. They have written one letter.

b. They have written several letters and will continue to write.

shall/will find ,are trying searched, found,(had)turned out ,soaked, burned, shall/will catch ,growled, put*

left, settled, was sipping*, was touring, appeared, invited

see, have been doing

am not doing ,am (since =because),has (of a sort =of a not very good kind)

have shown, would consider, put, would take, would be ,would tell .used to smuggle ,have been puzzled, left

*“While” can be used to talk about two long actions (or events or situation )that went on at the same time . In that case ,the past simple and progressive tenses are both possible :

while John was sitting (or sat)reading a novel, I was doing (or did )the cooking in the kitchen .

“while” is also used to talk about something which happened while something else was going on. In that case, “while”

introduces the longer “background” situation normally in the past progressive tense:

While I was walking down the street I noticed a police car in front of a store .

THE LOONS 课后习题答案/answer I . 1)The Tonnerres were poor The basis of their dwelling was a small square cabin made of poles and mud, which had been built some fifty years before. As the Tonnerres had increased in number, their settlement had been added, until thc clearing at the foot of the town hill was a chaos of lean-tos, wooden packing cases, warped lumber, discarded car tyres, ramshackle chicken coops, tangled strands of barbed wire and rusty tin cans. 2)Sometimes, one of them would get involved in a fight on Main Street and be put for the night in the barred cell underneath the Court House. 3)Because she had had tuberculosis of the bone, and should have a couple of months rest to get better. 4)Her mother first objected to take Piquette along because she was afraid that the girl would spread the disease to her children and she believed that the girl was not hygienic. She then agreed to do so because she preferred Piquette to the narrator's grandmother, who promised not to go along with the family and decided to stay in the city if the girl was taken along. 5)The cottage was called Macleod, their family name. The scenery there was quite beautiful with all kinds of plants and animals at the lakeside. 6)The narrator knew that maybe Piquette was an Indian descendant who knew the woods quite well, so she tried to ask Piquette to go and play in the wood and tell her stories about woods. 7)Because Piquette thought the narrator was scorning and showing contempt for her Indian ancestors, which was just opposite to her original intention. 8)Because the narrator felt somewhat guilty. Piquette stayed most of the time in the cottage and hardly played with the narrator. At the same time, she felt there was in Piquette something strange and unknown and unfathomable. 9)That was the very rare chance she was unguarded and unmasked, so that the author could perceive her inner world. 10)Her full name is Vanessa Macleod. 11)Just as the narrator's father predicted, the loons would go away when more cottages were built at the lake with more people moving in. The loons disappeared as nature was ruined by civilization. In a similar way, Piquette and her people failed to find their position in modern society. Ⅱ. 1)who looked deadly serious, never laughed 2)Sometimes old Jules, or his son Lazarus, would get involved in a rough, noisy quarrel or fight on a Saturday night after much drinking of liquor. 3)She often missed her classes and had little interest in schoolwork. 4)I only knew her as a person who would make other people feel ill at ease. 5)She lived and moved somewhere within my range of sight (Although I saw her, I paid little attention to her). 6)If my mother had to make a choice between Grandmother Macleod and
