When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!

三、課文和語(yǔ)法

1) 形式： was/were + doing

She was reading a book at 11:00 last night.

2)用法：

①用來(lái)描述過(guò)去特定的時(shí)刻正在發(fā)生的事情

②過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)還常常和一般過(guò)去式搭配使用，此時(shí)，過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)通常表示一個(gè)歷時(shí)較長(zhǎng)的體現(xiàn)“背景”的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)；而一般過(guò)去時(shí)則表示此“背景”下發(fā)生的、短暫的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)，過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)動(dòng)作先發(fā)生，一般過(guò)去時(shí)動(dòng)作后發(fā)生

I cut my finger when I was cooking the dinner last night.

4. A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds.

4）疑問(wèn)： Had + 主+ done +…?

5) 補(bǔ)充：過(guò)去完成時(shí) vs 現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)

相同點(diǎn)：都是完成時(shí)（在一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)，看這個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)之前事情的完成情況）

不同點(diǎn)：所處的時(shí)間點(diǎn)不同

該句是復(fù)合句：主句+ 從句（這里是賓語(yǔ)從句）

賓語(yǔ)從句

1) 句子做賓語(yǔ)

2） 寫(xiě)法：

①陳述句變賓語(yǔ)從句

I think (that) you are right.

that 這里不做句子的成分，可省略

5. When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield.

1) when… while…?后面均接句子

while后面只接延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞，when都可以接

While you were sleeping, a thief sneaked in.

一件事情持續(xù)，另一件事情把它打斷

2) some… others…?表示一些人… 另外一些人…

3) 與過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)搭配的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句連詞有when, while, as, just as

as也引導(dǎo)持續(xù)性動(dòng)作，但持續(xù)時(shí)間沒(méi)有while那么長(zhǎng)

When/As I left the house, I remembered the key.

6. Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House.

take off 拿走/脫掉/起飛

很多動(dòng)詞加上介詞或者副詞構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)后，詞義會(huì)改變，判斷一個(gè)動(dòng)詞后接的是介詞還是副詞，關(guān)鍵看賓語(yǔ)的位置。有賓語(yǔ)的是介詞，沒(méi)賓語(yǔ)的是副詞

vt.+adv.+n. 或者vt.+n./pron.+adv.

vi.+prep.+n./pron.

take off my coat ?take my coat off ????take it off

look for my coat??look for it

7. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door …
