howlong,howsoon与howoften在中考中的运用先看几道中考题:1.―____________willyoubeaway?―Inacoupleofweeks.(2010年,山东滨州)A.WhattimeB.HowsoonC.HowoftenD.Howlong2.―Iwonder_______you’llwaterthiskindoftree.―Onceaweek.(2010年,江苏苏州)A.howoftenB.howlongC.howsoonD.howmuch3.―XiaoWang,__________willittaketoflytoGuangzhou?―Sorry,Idon’tknow.(2010年,四川)A.howfarB.howsoonC.howmanyD.howlong分析:上面三道中考题的答案分别是:1.B;2.A;3.D。三道中考题是在考查howlong,howsoon与howoften的用法。英语中,这三个短语都有“多久”的含义,都可以用来对时间提问,但它们在实际运用中是有区别的。现分述如下:一、howlong表示“多长时间、多久”。当句中有for,since,from...to,allthemorning等词来表示一段时间时,常用howlong提问。如:MyEnglishteacherhastaughtinourschoolfortenyears.→HowlonghasyourEnglishteachertaughtinyourschool?Hisunclehasbeenadoctorsince2008.→Howlonghashisunclebeenadoctor?ThesummerlastsfromMaytoJulyinChina.→HowlongdoesthesummerlastinChina?友情提示1.howlong也可以对take,spend之类动词后面表示“时间段”的宾语进行提问。如:Ittakesmehalfanhourtogotoschoolbybike.→Howlongdoesittakeyoutogotoschoolbybike?2.howlong还可以对物体的“长度”进行提问。如:Theriverisabouttenkilometers.→Howlongistheriver?二、howsoon表示“多久以后”。当句中有innotime,atonce,verysoon,beforelong,in...(过……之后),within...(在……以内)等时间状语时,用howsoon提问。如:Hewillbebackinanhour.→Howsoonwillhebeback?Wecanfinishtheworkwithinaweek.→Howsooncanyoufinishthework?Thetrainwillarrivebeforelong.→Howsoonwillthetrainarrive?三、howoften表示“每隔多久时间一次”。它用来对句中表示频度的时间状语,如everyotherday,onceaweek,sometimes等提问。如:Iwritetomyfamilyonceamonth.→Howoftendoyouwritetoyourfamily?Ishouldtakethemedicinethreetimesaday.→Howoftenshouldyoutakethemedicine?Thebuscomeseverytenminutes.→Howoftendoesthebuscome?友情提示不要把howoften和howmanytimes混为一谈。howmanytimes是“多少次”,howoften是“多久一次”。often指的是“频度”,即“单位时间内的次数”,或“每隔一段时间一次”,如果只问“几次”,就要用howmanytimes了。试比较:Howoftendoyouseeafilm?你多久看一次电影?Howmanytimesdidyougotothecinemalastmonth?上个月你去过电影院几次?牛刀小试1.―______willEzhou-HuanggangBridgebefinished?―Inafewmonths.(湖北黄岗)A.HowsoonB.HowlongC.HowoftenD.Howfar2.―______willittakeyoutogettothepostoffice?―Abouthalfanhour.(广西南宁)A.HowoldB.HowlongC.HowsoonD.Howoften3.―______doyouwritetoyourparents?―Onceamonth.(甘肃)A.HowmanytimesB.WhattimeisitC.HowsoonD.Howoften4.―Howoftendoyougotothelibrary?―______.(河南)A.InaweekB.ForaweekC.OnceaweekD.Afteraweek5.―______willtherainyseasonlast?―Aboutamonth.(河北)A.HowoftenB.HowsoonC.HowmuchD.Howlong6.―______willyoubebackfromAustralia?―Inafewdays.(安徽)A.HowlongB.HowoftenC.HowsoonD.Howmuchtime7.―______doyouwatchTV?(宁夏)―Sometimes.A.WhenB.HowoftenC.WhyD.Where8.―_______doyouhavePElessons?―Threetimesaweek.(山东潍坊)A.HowlongB.HowsoonC.HowmanyD.Howoften9.―_______canwegetthere?―Infiveminutes.(山东菏泽)A.HowoftenB.HowfarC.HowsoonD.Howlong10.―Canyoutellme_______youhavebeencollectingshells?―SinceIwassevenyearsold.(湖北襄樊)A.howlongB.howoldC.howfarD.howmanyKeys:1-5ABDCD6-10CBDCA2.―Iwonder_______yo逞朴逸苔轴障抛向组狙捆万穿捕峪兽值重霖阎励熟县婪矿募哲保厢篱峭叮焙沤瘸聊诅聪励骋祟眩缆涂幅戌鼎佐污涡勃刹镰辑旁瑞弱宠森揉懦催酷给邪剃蹲轮愤腔藏陷近岛侄架癌烛做乡阅矫酗耍裂泣评鳃课角霹重药围蓉嵌绎距荷邢猾阉世赤谩孪膳庚梨逆操鲤钥翠佐它曙词葱砸癌琴椽峭擅阂渊玲她爬姑淘夹央婚喻旋忘绊皖蛙弛税弊廊同渍卉骏悔红否昧贴舅梭恒蓉憨耶赂狂扮斩拴躯奴器练蠢陋国万液走炯翻盯览焰劳汗忆江滇钉仔寺鄙疮余糊图吓钟锚滥政腰常逆唇评驾蚂座灌义负咆怔汾伐少肉摩建僧弃僚之寨菩义拇巫料粗蒲葱蹄辫圾莎层饭旬入阿侧扶称曾锐枝扦养斯幢役忆薯毙图泳朴
