Growing up
[头脑风暴·思维发散]
　　Reaching adulthood is a milestone in life, marking the transition from immaturity (不成熟) to a more mature state. It’s a memorable period where one starts to ponder on life’s virtues and the consequences of actions. This stage also strengthens bonds with loved ones, allowing individuals to have a say on their own lives and make decisions that reflect their growing wisdom.

语法知识点拨
将来进行时主要表示将来某一时刻正在进行的动作,或表示要在将来某一时刻开始,并持续进行的动作。常用来表示礼貌的询问、请求等。
一、将来进行时的构成
将来进行时由“主语(第一人称)+shall be + 现在分词”或“主语(人称不限)+
will be+现在分词”构成。现以动词work为例,其将来进行时的肯定式、否定式和疑问式见表。
人称
肯定式
否定式
疑问式
第一
人称
I/We shall/will
be working...
I/We shall/
will not be
working...
Shall/Will I/we be
working...?
第二
人称
You will be
working...
You will not
be working...
Will you be working...?
第三
人称
He/She/It/They
will be working...
He/She/It/
They will not
be working...
Will he/she/
it/they be
working...?
二、将来进行时的基本用法
1.表示将来某一时刻正在进行的动作。
She’ll be leaving at about seven.
她将在7点钟左右离开。
I’ll be waiting for you at the gate at that time.
那时,我将在大门口等你。
2.表示将来某一段时间内持续进行的动作。
I shall be staying here for about a week.
我将在这里住一周左右。
We’ll be using this book next term.
我们下学期将会使用这本书。
3.现代英语口语中,常用将来进行时表示委婉的语气,表示“纯粹”的将来,比一般将来时的语气显得更加委婉。
When will you be visiting us again?
你什么时候再来看望我们?
They will be arriving here tomorrow.
他们明天就要到达此地。
三、将来进行时与一般将来时的区别
1.两者的基本用法不一样,将来进行时表示将来某一时刻正在进行的动作,一般将来时表示将来某一时刻将要发生的动作。
What will you be doing this time tomorrow?
明天这个时候你会在做什么呢?
What will you do tomorrow?
你明天做什么?
2.两者均表示将来,但用将来进行时的语气更加委婉。试比较:
When will you finish these letters?
你什么时候处理完这些信件?(直接询问,如上司对下属)
When will you be leaving your office?
您什么时候离开您的办公室?(委婉地询问,如下属对上司)
[语境运用] 句子语法填空
?Seize every opportunity to praise your children, and you 　　　　 (find) they will open their heart to you.?
?You won’t see Mr Smith tomorrow morning because he 　 　　　　 (go) to London for a meeting then.?
will find
will be going
四、将来进行时的特殊用法
1.静态动词用于将来进行时时,强调状态的持续时间较短,或表示短暂行为,或表示动作刚刚开始。
You will be forgetting your own name next.
接下来,你会连自己的名字都忘掉的。
She’ll be owning her own house next.
紧接着,她就要拥有自己的房子了。
2.表示某种可能和推测,有“我料想,我估计”的含义。
They won’t be wanting this.
他们不会要这个的。
You will be making a mistake.
你会出错的。
3.表示原因或结果。
Catch the man or he’ll be running away.(结果)
抓住那个男人,不然他就要跑了。
You may use my pen.I won’t be needing it.(原因)
你可以用我的钢笔,我不用了。
4.用于表示将来动作的情景,使语言生动、形象,带有特定的感彩。
If I’m late, Mother will be getting uneasy.
如果我迟到了,母亲会担心的。
5.表示将来某动作迟于所安排的另一个动作。
This term will end in July and I will be going back home.
7月,本学期结束之后,我就要回到家里。
真题体验
1.(2022·全国乙卷)Engineers are now working on a new concept:the rail drones of the future.They　　　　　　　　 (move) on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously.?
【解析】 考查动词时态。根据上文的the rail drones of the future可知,本句描述的是未来的铁路无人机。空前的They指的是前面提到的未来的铁路无人机,move是将来某段时间内正在发生的动作,应用将来进行时。故填will be moving。
will be moving
2.(2021·新高考全国Ⅱ卷)We　　　　　　　　　　　　 (hold) a free taster session on 23 May, at 10 am, to demonstrate the variety of effective and active exercises.?
【解析】 考查动词时态。根据本句的时间状语“on 23 May, at 10 am”可知,本句陈述的是将来某个时间正发生的事,应用将来进行时。故填shall/will be holding。
