1. B. when引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，when指20世纪90年代初，当然用一般过去时。2. A. 这是“祈使句+and +陈述句”句型，祈使句相当于一个条件状语从句，and后的陈述句的谓语用一般将来时，
这是一个较为固定的句型。
3. D. 因为Jane已经度假去了，“离开”此地就当然是在此之前的过去某个时间了，所以用一般过去时，选 D。
另外，when通常都不与完成时连用，排除B和C，A也与语境不符。
4. D. 过去进行时在此表示过去准备要做的事。句意为：(Tony给我打电话时)我刚好做完工作，准备去冲凉。
5. A. 由now可知前句的意思是：我曾经叫你不要搬动我的词典的 (你偏不听)。“叫”是在过去发生的动作，用
一般过去时。
6. C. 根据句意“我不知道Sam现在是否已经做完了作业，(但是我知道)他今天早上一直在做作业”，可知要用过
去进行时。
7. B. 由What’s=What is可知，现在在出声音；进而知道“邻居们正在为一个晚会作准备”，所以用现在进行时态。
再说，已经准备好了或者将作准备，我们不可能听得到声音，问句也就不成立了，排除A和D。
8. B. 根据but she hasn’t decided yet (尚未决定) 可知，从开始失业时起一直在考虑再去上学，现在还在考虑。表
示从过去某一时刻开始一直到现在，并且现在依然在发生的动作，用现在完成进行时，现在完成进行时由“have/has
been doing”构成，所以选B。
9. A. 由when the earthquake struck可知，要用一般过去时，排除C和D；又因为主语是单数the teacher，所以只
有A正确。
10. D. 由when…was brought in可知，come也是过去发生的事，用一般过去时。句意是：当引入一个有趣的话题
时，那场讨论又变得活跃起来。
11. C. 由all the T-shirts are sold at half price可知，这家商店还没有关闭，但准备将要关闭，所以选C，用现在进行
时表示最近的打算。
12. A. “祈使句+or+陈述句”句型中，陈述句的谓语用“will+动词原形”，几乎是固定的。句意是：让我们扣住主
题吧，否则，我们就作不了决定。
13. D. 因为was saying表明“他说”发生在过去，“没听到”应该是“他说”的时候没听到，所以miss也是发生
在过去，而miss作“未听见、未理解”解时，一般没有进行时，因此，只有D正确。句意是：我的注意力当时并没
有集中在他所说的内容上，所以恐怕有一半我都没听到。
14. D. 根据括号内的1847—1931可知，此处应填过去时态；另外，由于没有另一个过去的时间或动作与之比较，
故不能用过去完成时，即只能选D。
15. A. 句意是：(你来我家时) 我正在机场等候一位从England来的朋友。表示在过去某一时刻或在过去某一段时
间内正在发生的事，用过去进行时，所以选A。

A. hasn’t written B. doesn’t write

1. A. 因为that is意为“换句话说，即 (=in other words, which means)”，而前句中的谓语has set是现在完成时，后一句
的谓语动词也应用现在完成时，排除C和D；又因主语the sales是复数，选出正确答案A。
2. D. 因为由语境可知，see应当发生在kept looking之前，即过去的过去，所以用过去完成时，只有D正确。3. B. 因为would wait是过去将来时，可见此事发生在过去，再结合for two hours可知，wait这个动作是从过去某
一时刻开始一直延续到另一个过去时刻，并且还在等，一直要等到那位影星到来，所以用过去完成进行时：had been
doing，因此选B。
4. C. 由came可知，她已来重庆了，而改变发型是在来重庆之前，即过去的过去，按理要用过去完成时，但
before已经表明紧接着发生的先后两个动作，所以也可用一般过去时，所以选C。
5. C. 句中的since为副词，表示“从过去某时起一直到现在”，它通常要与现在完成时连用。
6. D。由句中的sooner（意为“早点儿”）可知用一般过去时。句意为“对不起，我没有早点儿说。我确实认为
你穿很好看” 。
7. C。her nervousness（紧张）伴随waited（等）的过程而产生，因此grow与waited同时发生，时态一致，都用
一般过去时。
8. B。stay是系动词不能用被动语态，故排除A；系动词一般不用于进行时(feel除外)，故排除C；stay为非延续
性动词，不能与表示一段时间的状语连用，故排除D。句意为“你为什么不把肉放在冰箱里呢？那样会保质好几天”。
9. A。根据句中all day long来判断，此句是强调播放新闻对现在的影响，故用现在完成时。意为“你怎么可能没
看到新闻？整天都在播放”。
10. C。用过去进行时态表示过去某一特定时刻正在进行的动作。此处是指“我”的话在被打断前正在谈论的情况。
句意为“对不起打断你的话，请继续”。“我说哪儿了？”“你在说你不喜欢你父亲的工作”。
11. C。由I arrived late可知是过去的情况。I haddn’t expected表示过去没有料到。句意为“我迟到了。我没料到路
面结冰”。
12. C。while 从句用过去进行时，主句用过去时，表示在某个动作的持续过程中，发生过某事。句意为“我在读
英语课本时睡着了。幸亏我的室友及时叫醒了我”。
13. C。句意为“尽管他和我们生活了好多年，但没给我们留下多少印象”。根据前句中的现在完成时可知，下句
是强调的现在的状态，因此用一般现在时。
14. D。“我的乒乓球打得好”是现在具有的技能，故用一般现在时。下句“但自新年以来还一直没有时间去打”。
与前句谓语动词的时态无关。
15. A。由句中的recently和by now两个提示可知此句用现在完成时。

行的动作或存在的状态，就用现在完成进行时，即：have been doing

凉。表示在过去某一时刻正在发生的动作，当然用过去进行时。
5. C. 从问句中usually goes to work来看，是问通常的情况，其回答也应该是指通常的情况，因此要用一般现在时，
即：“如果天气好，他通常是步行上班的”。注意：千万不要认为条件句中的谓语动词用一般现在时，而主句中的谓
语动词就用一般将来时，而错选A或C。
6. D. 意为：“你打电话来时，我可能正在洗淋浴”。指在过去某个时候正在发生的动作，用过去进行时。

9. B. 从语境来看，显然指将来：“你打算坐哪趟班机？”表示最近打算或安排要做的事，可以用进行式或“be
to do”来表示，因此，可选出A和B，而答案A的语序不对，所以只有B对(from www.yygrammar.com)。
10. B. 表示刚才想叫你帮忙，就是“我在想你可不可以帮我填这个表格”，所以用过去进行时。
11. C. 因为从can和句意可知，是指目前正在发生的事。句意是“如果你 (象现在这样) 不断地用一些无聊问题
来妨碍我，我又怎能集中精力呢？”
12. C. 因为意思是“我当时 (昨天) 怎么知道呢？”。
13. B. 因为在时间状语从句中要用一般现在时代替一般将来时；若强调从句动作发生在主句动作之前时，用现在
完成时代替将来完成时，本题属后一种情况。
14. D. 从上文可知，已经将coffee溅在地毯上了，spilt已经在过去发生了，所以用一般过去时，wasn’t。

(注：与 date from 同义的 date back to 也有类似用法。)
