Unit 5　What were you doing when
the rainstorm came
came？
第3课时　Section A Grammar Focus-4c
一、过去进行时
1. 概念：表示过去某一时刻或某一阶段正在进行或发生的动作。例如：
I was practising the piano at 8:00 yesterday evening.
2. 基本结构：主语+was / were+动词-ing+其他成分.
3. 句中常见的时间标志词：then， at that time， at this time，yesterday， when， while等。例如：
My children were doing their homework at that time.
When I came in， my father was watching TV.
二、连词when和while的用法
1. 相同之处：两者都表示“当……时候”。
2. 不同之处：
(1) when的英文释义是“at or during the time that …”， 它既指时间点，也指时间段；while的英文释义是“during the time that …”，只表示时间段。在when引导的时间状语从句中，动词可以是瞬间性动词，也可以是延续性动词；而在while引导的从句中，动词必须是延续性动词。例如：
It was snowing when we arrived at the station.
The light went out when we were having dinner.
While she was typing， someone knocked at the door.
【注意】
①延续性动词表示能够延续或产生持久影响的动作。例如：learn， work， stand， lie， walk， keep， have， wait，watch等。
②瞬间性动词表示不能延续的动作，这种动作发生后立即结束。例如：open， close， finish，begin， come， go， arrive， reach， get to， leave， borrow， buy等。
(2) 在when引导的时间状语从句中，从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时发生，也可以是先后发生。while引导的时间状语从句则强调主句的动作在从句动作发生的过程中发生或主从句两个动作同时发生。例如：
He finally fell asleep when / while the wind was dying down.
They were singing while we were dancing.
(正确率在70%以上视为达标)
一、根据句意，用when或while填空。
1. It’s unfair！____________ I was working as a waiter last month，my
friends were on vacation.
2. ____________ Sarah was at the museum，I was taking a class.
3. I was cleaning my bedroom _______ he left.
4. ____________ Tim was riding his bike to school， he saw a strange
light in the sky.
While / When　
When / While
when　
While / When

阅读下面的短文，选出最佳选项。
Gina always said she wanted her wedding(婚礼) to be held somewhere close to nature. So on a special day in June last year, her family and close friends all stood on the top of a mountain to attend her wedding. The weather was fantastic—the sun was shining and the sky was blue. It seemed to be a perfect day for wedding.
But the moment Gina and John made their promises to each other, there was a really loud sound, and the sky suddenly became dark. It began to rain very heavily, and the wind was really strong.
Gina’s little sister was so frightened that she started running down the mountain. Gina didn’t notice it，but John did. He ran after her，and after looking for her for twenty minutes，he found her lying on the rocks. She was exhausted(精疲力尽的). Although John was very very tired，he found the strength to carry her down the mountain safely. When he got to the bottom，the storm was dying down. Gina soon joined them，and in the end，everyone was OK.
Anyone else might feel disappointed that their wedding was ruined(破坏) by a storm, but not Gina. If her little sister had not been OK，she might feel different. But now, she believes that the storm was very meaningful: it gave John the chance to show he was a true hero(英雄)，and the right man for her！
(　　)1. Gina held her wedding _______.
A. on the beach　　B. on a mountain
C. at her home　　 D. under water

mountain

下面是一篇关于回忆的短文。根据所提供的信息，回答问题。
Do you remember what you were doing？
We asked people if they could remember what they were doing on July 20, 1969 when astronauts walked on the moon for the first time. Here is what they said.
John Bates
I was 18 years old. I was watching TV at home and saw the news about the first astronaut who walked on the moon. His name was Neil Armstrong.
I remember he could jump really high because people aren’t so heavy on the moon. He became a national hero in America, and famous all over the world.
Paul Robinson
I was 12 years old. I don’t remember what I was doing, but I remember I was so excited and I wanted to go to the moon, too. My dream was to become an astronaut and fly to space in a rocket. I wanted to see the earth from the moon because the astronauts said that the earth looked very beautiful from there.
Linda Brown
I remember that I was working that day. I was 20 years old then. I didn’t see them land on the moon because I was busy, but I read about it in the newspaper the next day. I thought it was amazing and maybe I could have my vacation on the moon one day！
Mark Green
I was only seven years old then. I did hear my parents talking about it excitedly when I went home, and I learned about it later in school. But I don’t remember what I was doing when it happened. I think I was too young to remember. Maybe I was having fun in the playground with my friends when it happened.
1. When did astronauts walk on the moon for the first time？
______________________________________________________________
2. Among these four people, who was watching TV at that time？

3. What was Paul Robinson’s dream？

John Bates.

To become an astronaut and fly to space in a rocket.

She read about it in the newspaper.

Because he was too young.

Once upon a time, people lived happily under the rule of a king. One day the king decided to travel on foot to communicate with his people. People were so happy to have a talk with their king.
After several weeks, the king returned to the palace. He had a pain in his feet as it was the first time he had walked so far.
He told his ministers(大臣) that the roads weren’t comfortable at all. He said he was very worried about the people who walked along those roads as it would hurt their feet, too. He gave an order to cover the roads of the whole country with cow leather(皮) so that people would feel comfortable while walking.
His ministers were worried to hear his order as it would kill thousands of cows to get enough leather and it would also cost a lot of money.
Just then, a wise man came to the king and said he had another idea.
The king asked what his idea was. The man said，“Your Majesty, maybe we don’t have to kill all the cows to cover the roads with leather. Instead，we can just have a piece of leather cut in the right shape to cover people’s feet. ”
The king was very happy with his advice. Then he ordered the worker to make him a pair of leather shoes and asked his people to wear the same kind of shoes.
