●模拟解析●
1. C。第一空填 look, 因为这是祈使句的谓语;第二空填 had,因为前一句说“看看时间吧”,这一看当然知道了现在很迟的情形,“不知道这么迟了”显然应是“过去”的事,故应用一般过去时态。
2. A。从语境上看,“忘记”的时间应是现在,即指现在不记得了。
3. B。其中的 did 为强调用法。
4. B。从语境上看,develop 不仅要用被动语态,而且要用进行时态。
5. A。从下文的语境看,既然现在叫对方重复一遍,说明“没听清对方的最后一点”应发生在过去(即说此话之前)。
6. B。before 用作副词时不与具体时间连用,泛指“以前”,通常与一般过去时或现在完成时连用。
7. C。表示目前的一种状态(from www.hxen.net)。
8. B,注意下文语境:事实上,我昨天就做完了。从该回答的语气上推测,填空处应填现在完成时态。
9. D。第一个 when 引导的是主语从句,用一般将来时表示将来;第二个 when引导的是时间状语从句,用一般现在时表示将来。
10. C。因为 date from 的意思是“自某时起存在至今”(=have existed since),它通常用于一般现在时,而不用过去时态(尽管其后接的总是表示过去的时间),除非所谈论的东西现在已不复存在,如:The church, which dated from the 13th century, was destroyed in an earthquake two years ago (那座教堂是13世纪建成的,两年前在一次地震中被毁了)。(注:与 date from 同义的 date back to 也有类似用法。)
11. A。前一句谓语用had hoped,表示的是过去未曾实现的想法或打算,可以译为“本想”,而后一句说“我太忙”,这是陈述过去的一个事实,所以要用一般过去时。
12. B。用现在完成时表示结果,即你已经错过了机会,其结果是:你只能等。
13. B。用现在完成时表示影响或结果,即现在笔不见了,是由于某人已经把它拿走了的结果。
14. B,用现在完成时表示从过去持续到现在的一段时间(from www.hxen.net)。
15. C,用现在完成时表示影响或结果,即他整个星期都在国外,所以你说你在剧院见过他,你一定是搞错了。
16. C。指刚才对方提醒之前没看到垃圾箱,用过去式。
17. A。由now和for a long time可知“很长时间都没有像现在这样下雨这么多”,用现在完成时。
18. A。由no是对前句的否定可知现在不在部队服役,是以前“服过役”,故用一般过去时。
19. B。从语境看“忘记”应为过去;“放学后自己去记”是临时的决定,不能用表示计划或打算的be going to。
20. D。从“我们只谈了几句话”可知,当我们去拜访时,Professor Smith“正要”离开了,D是过去进行时表示过去将来时。
21. C。由“我正要去洗澡”可知昨天你打电话时“我刚刚画完”,“画完”在“打电话前”之前,即过去的过去,故用过去完成时(from www.hxen.net)。
22. B。always有时可与进行时态连用,但含有某些感情色彩,如报怨、厌恶、赞美等。此句表示的是报怨。
23. D。句意为“我已学电脑几年了,我现在还在学。”am后省略了studying。
24. D. 在她arrived之前就已离开;即过去的过去,用had left.
25. B. 语境为:原以为(thought)丢了的(had lost)确在鼻子底下。
