2007年高考英语语法考点分类详解·时态

35. The flowers were so lovely that they ___C___ in no time. (2007全国I)

A. sold                                    B. had been sold

C. were sold                            D. would sell

【解析】C。根据前面的过去式谓语were可知，后面也要用一般过去时；再根据“花”与“卖”的关系可知，此处要用被动语态，故选C。

15. —Is there anything wrong, Bob? You look sad.

—Oh, nothing much. In fact, I ___B___ of my friends back home. (2007全国II)

A. have just thought                  B. was just thinking

C. would just think                    D. will just be thinking

【解析】B。指刚刚在想念老家的朋友，故用过去进行时。

32. They ______ two free tickets to Canada, otherwise they’d never have been able to afford to go. (2007山东卷)

A. had got                                B. got

C. have got                               D. get

【解析】B。句子前半句讲的是过去的事实，用一般过去时; 后半句讲的是对过去情况的假设，故用了would never have been这样的形式。

19. I ___C___ there little more than a week when I set to work with the scientist. (2007陕西卷)

A. would be                              B. have been

C. had been                               D. will be

【解析】C。由于set to work with the scientist这一动作发生在过去，而be there与set to work的先后关系是：be there在先，set to work在后。所以be there发生的时间属于“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。

30. —Did you see a man in black pass by just now?

—No, sir. I ___B___ a newspaper. (2007四川卷)

A. read                                      B. was reading

C. would read                            D. am reading

【解析】B。由于我刚才“正在看报”(was reading a newspaper)，所以没有看到有人经过。根据语境，显然只有B最佳。

17. Professor James will give us a lecture on the Western culture, but when and where ___A___ yet. (2007浙江卷)

A. hasn’t been decided                B. haven’t decided

C. isn’t being decided                  D. aren’t decided

【解析】A。根据句意，此处应用被动语态，不用主动语态；再根据句末的yet可知，最好用现在完成时。故选A最佳。

18. The play had already been on for quite some time when we ___B___ at the New Theatre. (2007浙江卷)

A. have arrived                           B. arrived

C. had arrived                             D. arrive

【解析】B。由于句中的had already been用的是过去完成时，而根据句意，arrive显然应发生在其后，故要用一般过去时。全句意为：当我们到达新剧院时，戏已经演了好一会儿了
