爷爷的老照片·used to do 今昔对比 Grandpa's Old Photos 词数 239建议用时 6 分钟难度 ★★★☆☆ — — — — — — Grandpa showed me his old photos yesterday. He used to be a young teacher in the village. He used to ride a bicycle to school every day. The photos are black and white and full of dust. I saw a thin boy with a big smile. Life was simple but happy in those years. We sat by the window and looked at them slowly together. He used to write letters with a pen at night. There used to be a small river near his home. He used to catch fish with his friends after class. The village used to be very quiet and green. Children used to play under the old tree. Those were the good old days we never forget in life. Now he does not walk so far any more. The river is gone and buildings stand there. He no longer rides that old bicycle to work. But he still loves to tell the old stories to us. Grandpa says the world has changed a lot. His photos keep the memories of a quiet and slow time. What a long road he has walked! We used to listen to him for hours as kids. Now we understand why he smiles at those pictures. Small photos carry the weight of a whole life. Let us take more photos with him this year. Used to is not just a grammar point but a bridge to the past we share. |

❑ 答案精讲ANSWERS
1B2B3A4B5C |
Q1 · B（细节题） 出处：第一段 “used to be a young teacher” ▍ 抓身份。第一段说 He used to be a young teacher in the village——爷爷曾是村里的年轻老师，B 一致；A 医生、C 渔夫、D 司机都无中生有。 |
Q2 · B（细节题） 出处：第二段 “there used to be a small river” ▍ 看 there be 句型。There used to be a small river near his home——家附近曾经有条小河，B 一致；A 学校、C 高楼、D 大路都不符。 |
Q3 · A（词义猜测） 出处：第三段 “no longer rides” ▍ 看今昔对比。前句说现在不走远了，He no longer rides that old bicycle——他“不再”骑那辆旧车上路，no longer = 不再，A 正确；B 仍然、C 经常、D 刚刚都相反。 |
Q4 · B（推断题） 出处：第四段 “take more photos with him” ▍ 抓作者的行动意愿。Let us take more photos with him this year——今年要多和爷爷合影，B 最准；A 扔照片、C 搬回村、D 学骑车都与文意相反。 |
Q5 · C（主旨题） 出处：首段 “old photos” 贯穿主题 ▍ 标题要罩住整篇。A 只讲拍照、B 只讲村子、D 只讲自行车——都偏局部；C 的 Grandpa's Old Photos 以“爷爷的老照片”串起今昔回忆，最全面。 |

❑ 长难句拆解SENTENCE
He used to be a young teacher in the village, and there used to be a small river near his home where he caught fish with his friends. 翻译：他曾是村里一位年轻的老师，而家附近曾有一条小河，他在那儿和朋友们抓鱼。｜ 今天核心语法——used to do（承接 Day08 爷爷系列，补一个初二重要但此前未讲的语法点）。① used to + 动词原形：表示“过去常常做某事，现在不做了”，强调今昔对比，常与 now / not any more 对照（He used to ride a bicycle 但现在 no longer rides）。② there used to be：某地“曾经有”、现已不在（There used to be a small river）。③ 易错点：否定/疑问时 used 变 use——✗ didn't used to → ✓ didn't use to；✗ Used he to... → ✓ Did he use to...?（to 前是 use 不是 used）。④ 别和 be used to 混：used to do = 过去常常；be used to (doing) = 习惯于（to 是介词）。 |
used to + 动词原形（过去常常） | He used to be a young teacherused to 后接动词原形 be，表示“过去是老师、现在不是了”，强调今昔对比 |
there used to be（某地过去有） | there used to be a small riverthere be 的过去式用 used to be，描述“从前存在、现已不在”的事物 |
❑ 家长陪读贴士FOR PARENTS
01 | used to + 动词原形：表示“过去常常做某事，现在不做了”，核心在今昔对比。常配 now / not ... any more 形成反差（He used to walk far, but now he does not）。 |
02 | 否定/疑问 used 变 use：✗ didn't used to → ✓ didn't use to；✗ Used he to... → ✓ Did he use to...? 只有在肯定句才是 used to，否定疑问里 to 前是 use。 |
03 | used to ≠ be used to：used to do = 过去常常；be used to (doing) = 习惯于（to 是介词，后接名词/动名词）。两者拼写相近但意思完全不同，别混淆。 |
