4. — He will come tomorrow. — But I'd rather he ________ the day after tomorrow. A. will come B. is coming C. came D. had come C 此题容易误选A或B,因为上文的 He will come tomorrow 以及下文的时间状语 the day after tomorrow 似乎都表明空白处应填一个一般将来时态。但实际上此题的最佳答案是 C,这与 would rather 的用法有关。按照英语习惯,would rather 后接that 从句时,其谓语的时态规律是:用过去式表示现在或将来,用过去完成时表示过去。 5. Mr. Smith ________ a book about China last year but I don't know whether he has finished it. A. has written B. wrote C. had written D. was writing D 此题应选D,这是由 but I don't know whether he has finished it 这一句话的语境决定的,全句意“史密斯先生去年在写一本书,但我不知道他现在是否写完了”。有的同学可能由于受 last year的影响而误选B。但若选B,则句子前半部分的意思则为“史密斯先生去年写了一本书”,既然是“写了”,那么这与下文的“但我不知道他现在是否写完了”相矛盾。 Module3·Unit 2 Language(2) 动词的时态(2) 一、一般过去时通常表示过去一段时间的习惯性动作或状态或过去某一具体时间发生的动作或所处的状态。但过去时有时并不实际表示过去的动作或状态。受主句过去时态影响,从句用过去时态;表示虚拟语气时用过去时态。与一般过去时连用的时间状语(举例时)有 yesterday, (two days…) ago, last (year…),the other day(前几天),once upon a time(很久以前),just now(刚才),in the old days(在过去的日子里),before liberation(解放前……),When I was 8 years old(当我8岁时……),at (7 o'clock…)等。 The train arrived ten minutes ago. 火车10分钟前就到了。 Mother said father didn't like smoked food. 母亲说父亲不喜欢熏制食品。 If I were you, I would choose to work at home. 假如我是你,我会选择在国内工作。 二、过去进行时的动词主要表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内正在进行或持续进行的动作。过去进行时动词与always, continually, frequently 等词连用时,表示明显的感情色彩。进行时与when连用表达“正在做某事,突然……”的意思。短暂性动作用于进行时时,表达“慢慢地”的意思。常见时间状语有this time yesterday/last month/last year等,表达“过去这个时候”的意思。 This time yesterday, we were having an English lesson. 昨天这个时候,我们正在上英语课。 She was setting the table when it began to shake terribly. |
