47課 A thirsty ghost
A public house which was recently bought by Mr.Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr.Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs andthe furniture had been moved. Though Mr.Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have comein for afree drink, Mr.Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept the pub evenif he gives it away.

真題測試 測試語言點：過去完成時和現(xiàn)在完成時
John and I______ friends for eight years. We first got to know each other at a Christmas party. But we _____ each other a couple of times before that. (2002年春季高考，第25題)
A.had been; have seen
B.have been; have seen
C.had been; had seen
D.have been; had seen
答案：選D
分析：第一空為現(xiàn)在完成時，與段時間狀語for eight years搭配；第二空，在晚會上認識之前就見過，正是“過去的過去”發(fā)生的一個動作，應該用過去完成時，所以選D
翻譯：約翰和我已經(jīng)是八年的朋友了，我們第相識是在一個圣誕節(jié)的晚會上，但是在此之前我們早已彼此見過幾次。
5. Though Mr.Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning.
雖然湯普森臨睡覺時把燈都關(guān)掉了，但早晨燈卻都亮著。
真題測試 測試語言點：though 和even so 的區(qū)別
John seems a nice person. ____ I don't trust him. (1997年6月CET-4,第54題)
A. Even thoughB. Even soC. ThereforeD. Though
答案：選B
分析：A 項even though“即使”，是引導讓步狀語從句的引導詞；C項therefore“因此”，表示結(jié)果；D項though“雖然”可用作表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的副詞，但它通常置于句尾或插入句子中間；B項even so“然而，即使如此”，相當于副詞nevertheless，常用于句首，所以選B。
翻譯：約翰看上去是個好人。即使如此，我還是不信任他。
6. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before.
他還說他發(fā)現(xiàn)了5只空的威士忌酒瓶子，這肯定是鬼魂前一天晚上喝的。
