【答案解析】

1．C。was表示“他过去一直是这样”，但现在不是了。

2．B。表示一个推测。排除A、C，因为A、C用的是过去时，而D项will be和后面的going to重复，所以选B。

3．A。前者问：“开车去市区很难吗?”后者说：“是的，那就是我坐火车去上班的理由。”显然坐火车去上班的动作发生在过去持续到现在并将持续下去，应用现在完成进行时。

4．B。前句是现在完成时，表示已经完成的动作对现在造成的影响，故后句回答用过去时。

5．C。译为：――我为我们的女儿买了一盒巧克力。――多么好的爸爸呀!但是她不喜欢甜味食品，难道你不知道吗?”答语含有强烈的讽刺意味，反问语为：在我说之前你不知道吗?所以用过去时。

6．D 见到Jim后expect成了过去，而第二句主句为过去时，故用were。

7．B。问某种状态持续多长时间，应用现在完成进行时，而第二个空是指一般状态，故用一般现在时，选B。

8．D。but前后两个半句应用相同时态，后半句是在说比赛结果，应用一般过去时lost。

9．A。将来完成时，将来某时刻之前完成的动作。

10．C。before表示要用过去时，意为“我以前从未见过他”可排除B、A，并根据上下文语境，排除D。

11．A。come back是过去，而问句中的动作发生在came back之前，是过去的过去，所以要用过去完成时，而且Tom已经回来，所以要用been，而gone是去了还未回来。

12．D。此处用I am just looking around表示我只是正在随便看看，just可以和现在进行时连用，表示只是怎么怎么样。

13．C。此题可能会误选A，前者说“我好几年未见你，去哪儿了？”可见他已经回来，因此他去欧洲的动作已发生过了，应用过去时往返答where have you been? A则是说我有去过欧洲的事实。

14．B。第一句中用了have，而第二句回答No，所以说话人近来都没有Janet的消息，而A、C、D都表示有她的消息，所以只能选B，表示将来进行时。

15．C。由第一句可判定出第二句描述的事情发生在过去，for a while是相对于when she dropped in来说的when she dropped in，“我已经玩一会儿了”，因此该用过去完成时态．再看后一个动作，承接前面for a while，仍然在过去，had played for a while之后，因此应用过去将来时，表示过去那个时间将要发生的动作，故选C。

16．B。他父母决定发生在过去，并对现在造成影响，故用现在完成时。

17．D。本题考查主谓一致与语态。quantities of作主语时谓语动词用复数，而“a large quantity of 不可数名词”作主语，谓语动词用单数，因此答案在C、D之间选。each与wash away之间为被动关系，因此D为正确答案。

18．D。此题考查的是动词的时态。句意：（那时）我的注重力没有集中在他所说的内容，因此，恐怕有一半没听到。missed表示“（那时）没听到”。所以要用过去时态。

19．A。从for some time可知，用完成时态。从第一句“我对这消息根本不惊奇”可知，我在此之前早就知道了。动作know发生在come之前，故用过去完成时。

20．C。考查“It / This is the first time 从句 (用现在完成时态)”句型。

21．D。从后半句“所有毛衣半价出售”可知，金鹰商店快要关闭了。用表示现阶段的状态。

22．C。根据题干中的时间状语10 o’clock tomorrow morning可知，选项动作是在将来某个时刻正在进行的，故应选用将来进行时，口语中常用这种时态表示将来某时刻正在进行的动作或发生的事。

23．D。考查动词的时态与语态。从会话可知，答话人是在解释他look worried and restless 的原因，因为他（刚才）是在思考毕业论文的事，这是说话前的那个时刻正在发生的事情。故应用过去进行时描写正在进行的动作。

24．B。用过去时态表示动作forget发生在过去。

25．C。从后半句“在我手头的钱还没用完之前，我得先去银行取些出来”可知，前半句应是：我的钱快用完了。故用进行时态表示现阶段的状态。

26．A。根据题意：功课在你打电话之前就完成了。所以在你打电话时，我正要预备洗澡呢。

27．B。用进行时态表示将来。

28．B。考查语境。答语“你千万别把它忘在出租车里！”表示吃惊。而“忘”这一动作应用一般过去时，但否定口气应用never。因为句子用的是感叹号，不应用D项。又如：You never left the key in the lock! （你总不会把钥匙留在锁孔里吧！）

29．C。从Yes可知，你到达时他在那里。又从but可知，他一会儿之后就出去了。故用过去式。

30．A。动词主动语态表被动含义。句中的keep是不及物动词，无须用被动结构，故B、C项都不正确。也不用进行时，通常用一般现在时或将来时。

31．A。be going to do表示“已计划好要做某事”，be to do与be about to do有时意思一样，都是“正要做某事 (忽然另一个动作发生了)”。

32．A。read在这里主动表被动，能这样用的动词有write，wash，etc．而except for意思是“除了”，暗指一个整体事物中与其他部分的共性不同的“例外”的部分。

33．D。由“was”可知要用过去时，又由“the longest”可知有比较意味，要用完成时。

34．B。had been lying为过去完成进行时，表示一个动作或状态从过去开始一直持续到过去的某个时间，该句表示状态，而had been laid强调动作，laid为lay的过去分词，修饰限制the table。

35．C。该句意为“来自于中山大学应届毕业生中的自愿者细心照料那些在广州没有亲戚的残疾人”。with no relatives in Guangzhou为介词短语作定语，修饰the disabled，are being taken care of为真正的谓语，故答案为C。

36．D。过去发生的两个动作有时间上的先后顺序时，先发生的用过去完成时，后发生的用一般过去时。

37．A。has been reading为现在完成进行时，表示一个动作从过去开始一直进行到现在。

38．D。pay attention to“注重到……”，在此用的是被动形式。never放在助动词后其他动词之前。

39．A。本句意为“双方原打算讲和，但发生了一件不平常的事”。had intended“原打算，本打算(但没做到)”，相对于过去的打算，后来发生的事用一般过去时。D项属于过去将来时，表示从过去某时看将要发生的动作或存在状态。常用在间接引语中。

40．A。would love to do表示“将来愿做……”，would love to have done表示“过去原本想做……，但没有做到”，根据第一分句中的这一结构可知，事情应发生在过去，所以but后的分句时态应用一般过去时。

41．B。从下文But转折部分看，答话者现在不会讲法语或俄语。使用过去时态表示以前的能力。

42．C。该空用现在完成时，表示The women’s club对Lin所起的作用。从used to看，她已经改变 了过去的习惯。

43．D。as表示两个动作同时进行，“一边……一边……”，故不能与强调动作先后的一般过去或过去完成或过去进行的时态搭配使用。该句前后都使用一般过去也是可以接受的。

44．D。disappear是不及物动词，不能用在被动句中，所以A不予考虑，然后再看had disappeared是在哪一个过去的动作或时间之前呢，没有这个过去的时间，所以过去完成时不成立；had given同理。

45．B。说话的时候已经听出来是Jack的声音，“没听出来”是说话前的动作，用过去时。

46．D。almost“几乎”；发生在过去的动作，应该用过去时态。

47．D。句中by then短语表示一个将来的时间状语，所以谓语用将来完成时，因此选D。

48．D。此处使用过去时态，表示“刚才”发生的动作，排除B,C项。这里表示是“根本没有说”，而不是“刚才没有在说”，排除A项。

49．C。always和进行时连用，表达说话人对主语的行为讨厌、反感的感情色彩，表达的是一般现在时的概念。选项A只说明经常性的动作，不含感情色彩；always通常不和完成时连用。

50．C。be to do表示预定，命运，意为“注定要……”。本句意为“这个经历注定要改变他的生活”。A项表示过去将来，意志或倾向。

51．B。由答句中的Yes可知in twenty minutes不是表示20分钟后的将来，而是表示在20分钟之内。因为是陈述过去的某个事实，故用一般过去时。

52．C。从下文“我们只交谈了几句话”来看，教授正要离开。这里使用leave的进行时态表示将要发生的动作。

53．C。从含义上看，该句表示一个过去的动作或事实，而第二句表示过去的过去，所以答案为C。

54．A。该句考查的是not ... until句型，由until，when，before等引导的时间状语从句不与将来时态连用，应该用一般现在时或现在完成时代替，故选A。

55．B。现在进行时表将来，第二句句意为：是的，我正要完成工作，它不会花费太长时间的。

56．D。由语境与题干可选D。

57．C。由题意，电影早点结束是一般式，而一起去书店是将来打算去做的，故用“将来式”。

58．D。用过去完成式，此句意为：“我认为他们已经走了”。

59．A。老人开始跑回家与太阳落山两个动作都发生在过去，而后者又发生在前者之前，故前者用一般过去时，后者用过去完成时。

60．B。由句意知，Tina现在已走，刚才在这里等你，因此用一般过去时。
