英语动词时态的考点归纳与分析

2016-06-04来源:和谐英语

3. Father _________for London on business upon my arrival, so I didn’t see him. (福建卷)

A. has left B. left C. was leaving D. had left

分析：答案选 D。根据“我没见到他”可知，“在我到达”前“父亲已经去伦敦”了，即父亲去伦敦发生在“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。

4. The policeman’s attention was suddenly caught by a small box which _________ placed under the Minister’s car. (广东卷)

A. has been B. was being C. had been D. would be

分析：答案选 C。因为这个小盒子“被放在部长车下”发生在“引起警察注意”之前，即“过去的过去”，所以用过去完成时。

5. “Hurry up! Alice and Sue are waiting for you at the school gate.” “Oh ! I thought they _________ without me.” (江西卷)

A. went B. are going C. have gone D. had gone

分析：答案选D。因为thought(原以为)用的是过去时，所以他们“走了”就是“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。

三、一般现在时考点

一般现在时主要表示现在的特征、状态、经常性动作或客观事实等。如：

1. Months ago we sailed ten thousand miles across this open sea, which _________ the Pacific, and we met no storms. (辽宁卷)

A. was called B. is called C. had been called D. has been called

分析：答案选 B。因为这是客观事实，故用一般现在时。

注：有关一般现在时的另一个考点是，在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中，要用一般现在时表示将来意义，而不能直接用将来时态。此时要特别注意的是，命题人有可能会设置形式上与状语从句相似且容易混淆的宾语从句作为命题切入点。如：

2. “What would you do if it _________tomorrow?” “We have to carry it on, since we’ve got everything ready.” (全国卷I)

A. rain B. rains C. will rain D. is raining

分析：答案选 B。即在条件句中用一般现在时表示将来意义。

3. As soon as he comes back, I’ll tell him when _________and see him. (北京卷)

A. you will come B. will you come C. you come D. do you come

分析：答案选 A。when 引导的是宾语从句，不是状语从句。

四、一般过去时考点

一般过去时主要表示过去某时发生的情况或动作(包括过去习惯性的动作)。如：

1. “If the traffic hadn’t been so heavy, I could have been back by 6 o’clock.” “What a pity! Tina _________ here to see you.” (湖南卷)

A. is B. was C. would be D. has been

分析：答案选 B。尽管上面一句用的是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，但后面一句谈的却是发生在过去的一件真实情况，故用一般过去时。

2. Scientists think that the continents _________always where they _________ today. (北京卷)

A. aren’t; are B. aren’t; were C. weren’t; are D. weren’t; were

分析：答案选 C。句意是：科学家认为各大陆并非一直在它们现在所处的位置。既然过去的位置与现在的位置不同，所以谈论过去情况用一般过去时。
