*英语时态试题及解析:
【2011浙江宁波】30. — Amy, I called you yesterday evening, but nobody answered the phone.
— Oh, I _________ a walk with my mother at that time.
A. take B. took C. am taking D. was taking
答案:D
【解析】动词时态。问句中的yesterday evening是一般过去时时间状语,而答语中的at that time是指打电话的那时间,表示过去正在发生的事情,所以应用过去进行时。选D。
【江西省2011】36. I'm now in New York with my friend Jenny. We_________ by plane on Monday.
A. arrive B. arrived C. are arriving D. will arrive
【答案】B
【解析】时态考察 句意为“我现在在纽约。”可知“星期一乘飞机来的。”是一般过去时。
【2011.扬州】—When ______ you ______ reading Jane Eyre?
—It’s hard to say. I’m busy recently.
A. did; finish B. have; finished C. will; finish D. do; finish
答案:C
【解析】考查时态。根据句意:你什么时间读完这本书?很难说,最近我很忙。指的是将来的某个时间读完书。
【2011.铜仁】28.If it ________ this Saturday, we ________ for a picnic.
A. won’t rain; shall go B. doesn’t rain; will go C. isn’t rain; go D. doesn’t rain; go
答案:B
【解析】考查时态。在if引导的条件状语从句中,如果主句和从句发生的动作都在将来时间,从句用一般现在时表将来。故选B。
【2011肇庆】26. You are too late. The film ______ since half an hour ago.
A、has begun B. has been on C. began
答案:B
【解析】考查动词时态。根据since half an hour ago,句中应是现在完成时,排除C。A中是begin的过去分词,begin为短暂性动作,不可与表示一段时间的状语连用。
一般过去时典型考题:
1. If you don’t like the drink you ______ just leave it and try a different one.
A. ordered B. are ordering C. will order D. had ordered
解析:答案选 A。句子的意思是:如果你不喜欢你点的饮料,把它放在一边,另外试一种。根据此句意可知,“点饮料”已经发生了,否则怎么知道自己不喜欢呢?所以空格处用一般过去时。又如:
I accelerated and left the other cars behind. 我加速行驶,把其他的车子抛在后面。
He asked her to marry him and she accepted him. 他向她求婚,她同意了。
2. —Have you known Dr Jackson for a long time?
—Yes, since she ______ the Chinese Society.
A. has joined B. joins C. had joined D. joined
解析:答案选 D。since she join the Chinese Society为I have known Dr. Jackson since she join the Chinese Society之省略。连词since所搭配的时态通常是:主句用现在完成时,从句用一般过去时。
现在进行时的用法:
表示临时性:现在进行时除表示说话时正在进行的动作之外,还可表示在短期内临时进行的动作或存在的情况,这种情况通常不会长期如此,并且在说话时刻也不一定正在进行。如:
Don’t take that ladder away. Your father’s using it. 别把梯子拿起,你父亲在用哩。
The professor is typing his own letters while his secretary is ill. 秘书生病时,教授自己打他的信。
过去进行时的用法:
1. 表示在过去某一时刻或某一阶段正在发生的动作。如:
I was having a shower at that time. 那时我正冲澡。
2. 表示某个短暂性动作发生的背景。如:
I was reading the newspaper when the doorbell rang. 我正在看报,突然门铃响了。
3. 过去进行时在语境中的运用。如:
I waved to her but she wasn’t looking. 我向她挥手但她没往这边瞧。
She didn’t hear the doorbell. She was listening to the radio. 她没听见门铃响,她在听收音机。
注:与always, forever, frequently等副词连用,可表示某种感情色彩。如:
She was forever complaining. 她老是抱怨。(厌烦)
She was always thinking of others. 她老是想到别人。(赞扬)
