8．利用语态改写

通过改变主语，主动语态与被动语态之间可进行同义句转换，特别要注意时态、情态动词的用法。如：

5. Three years has passed since the students came to this school.

The students have _________ _________ this school for three years.

[答案]been in。与原句意思一致，“学生在这所学校里已3年了”。

4. I got up half an hour ago.

I _________ _________ up for half an hour.

[答案]have been。短暂动词get up，意为“起床”，不能与延续时间状语连用，与延续性时间状语连用时，将get up 改成be up。

3. My grandpa joined the Party thirty years ago.

My grandpa _________ _________ _________ the Party for thirty years.

[答案]has been in。短暂动词join，意为“参加，加入(组织，政党)”，不能与延续性时间状语连用，与延续性时间状语连用时，将join 改成be in 或be a member in…。

2. Sam’s grandfather died 10 years ago.

Sam’s grandfather has been _________ _________ 10 years.

[答案]dead for。短暂动词die，意为“死亡”，不能与延续性时间状语连用，与延续性时间状语连用时，将短暂动词die改为be dead。

1. The film began 20 minutes ago.

The film has been _________ _________ 20 minutes.

[答案]on for。短暂动词begin，在此意为“(电影) 开始(放映、上演) ”，不能与延续时间状语连用，与延续性时间状语连用时，将begin 改成be up。has been提示时态是现在完成时态， “for+时间段” 表示“持续(一段时间) ”，常用在含有现在完成时态的句子里。摘自中考英语网

7．利用时态改写

中考同义句改写中涉及的时态间的相互转换主要是针对一般过去时与现在完成时两种时态间的转换而言的，应特别注意非延续性动词的用法。如：

6. In China we build the Great Green Wall so that the wind won’t blow the earth away.　

In China we build the Great Green Wall _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ the earth away.

[答案]to stop the wind from blowing。不定式作目的状语。

5. The ice on the lake was so thin that people couldn’t skate on it.

The ice on the lake was not _________ enough _________people _________ _________ _________ it.

[答案]thick; for; to skate on。形容词或副词+enough +to do sth,意为“足够……以致于能够……”，用来替换“so…that+结果状语从句”。

4. He was so happy that he couldn’t say a word when he was told the news.　

He was _________ happy _________ say a word when he was told the news.
