1. I _____ his telephone number. I have his number, but I ____ to bring my phone book.
A. forget, forget B. forgot, forgot
C. forget, forgot D. forgot, forget
【陷阱】容易誤選A,認為忘記是現在的事。
【分析】仔細體會一下對話的語境:第一個人說我忘記他的電話號碼了,這個忘記應該是現在的情況,即現在忘記了,要不然就沒有必要同對方說此話了,故第一空應填 forget;第二個人說我有他的號碼,但我忘記帶電話本了,這個忘記應該是過去的情況,即過去忘記帶電話本,所以現在電話本不在身上(注意句中的轉折連詞 but),故第二空應填 forgot,即答案選應C。請再看一例:
Oh, I ______ where he lives.
Dont you carry your address book?
No, I ______ to bring it.
A. forget, forget B. forgot, forgot
C. forget, forgot D. forgot, forget
答案選C,理由同上。
2. I had hoped to see her off at the station, but I _____ too busy.
A. was B. had been
C. would be D. would have been
【陷阱】容易誤選B或D,認為前句用了had hoped,所以此句謂語要用B或D與之呼應。
【分析】但正確答案為A,前一句謂語用had hoped,表示的是過去未曾實現的想法或打算,可以譯為本想,而后一句說我太忙,這是陳述過去的一個事實,所以要用一般過去時。請做以下類似試題(答案均為A):
(1) We had hoped to catch the 10:20 train, but _____ it was gone.
A. found B. had found
C. would find D. would have found
(2) We had hoped that you would be able to visit us, but you _____.
A. didnt B. hadnt
C. neednt D. would not have
(3) We had wanted to come to see him, but we ____ no time.
A. had B. had had
C. would have D. would have had
(4) I had expected to come over to see you last night, but someone ______ and I couldnt get away.
A. called B. had called
C. would call D. would have called
(5) The traffic accident wouldnt have happened yesterday, but the driver _______ really careless.
A. was B. is
C. were D. had been
3. Dear me! Just _____ at the time! I _____ no idea it was so late.
A. look, have B. looking, had
C. look, had D. looking, have
【陷阱】此題容易誤選D,認為第一空用現在分詞表伴隨,第二空填 have 的一般現在時,以保持與前面時態的一致性。
【分析】其實,此題應選C,第一空應填 look, 因為這是祈使句的謂語;第二空應填 had,因為前一句說看看時間吧,這一看當然知道了現在很遲的情形,不知道這么遲了顯然應是過去的事,故應用一般過去時態,許多同學由于忽略這一隱含的語境而誤選。
4. Your phone number again? I _____ quite catch it. Its 4331577
A. didnt B. couldnt
C. dont D. cant
【陷阱】此題容易誤選C,認為此處要用一般現在時態,表示現在沒聽清對方的話。
【分析】其實,此題答案應選A,根據上文的語境請把你的電話號碼再說一遍好嗎?可知沒聽清對方的電話號碼應是在說此話以前,故應用一般過去時態。請看以下類似試題:
(1) Mr Smith isnt coming tonight. But he _____.
A. promises B. promised
C. will promise D. had promised
答案選B,他答應(要來)應發生在過去。
(2) Hey, look where you are going! Oh, Im terribly sorry. _____.
A. Im not noticing B. I wasnt noticing
C. I havent noticed D. I dont notice
答案選B,我沒注意是對方提醒之前的事,現經對方一提醒,當然注意到了。
(3) Oh its you ! I ________ you. Ive had my hair cut.
A. didnt realize B. havent realized
C. didnt recognize D. dont recognized
答案選C。沒認出是你是說此話之前的事,說此話時顯然已經認出了對方。
(4) Whats her new telephone number? Oh, I _____.
A. forget B. forgot
C. had forgotten D. am forgetting
此題應選A,從語境上看,忘記的時間應是現在,即指現在不記得了。
(5) Since youve agreed to go, why arent you getting ready? But I ______ that you would have me start at once.
A. dont realize B. didnt realize
C. hadnt realized D. havent realized
答案選B。沒意識到是對方提醒之前的事。
(6) Its twelve oclock, I think I must be off now. Oh, really? I ______ it at all.
A. dont realize B. havent realized
C. didnt realize D. hadnt realized
答案選C。沒意識到是在聽到的話之前的事。
5. Mr Smith ______ a book about China last year but I dont know whether he has finished it.
A. has written B. wrote
C. had written D. was writing
【陷阱】容易誤選B或C。
【分析】此題應選D,這是由 but I dont know whether he has finished it 這一句話的語境決定的,全句意為史密斯先生去年在寫一本書,但我不知道他現在是否寫完了。有的同學可能由于受 last year的影響而誤選B。但若選B,則句子前半部分的意思則變為史密斯先生去年寫了一本書,既然是寫了,那么這與下文的但我不知道他現在是否寫完了相矛盾。
6. He has changed a lot. He _______ not what he _______.
A. is, is B. was, was
C. is, was D. was, is
【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。
【分析】最佳答案選C,上文說他變化很大,即他現在不是過去的那個樣子了,故第一空填is,第二空填 was(其實第二空也可用 used to be)。請看類例:
What place is it? Havent you found out we _____ back where we ______?
A. were, had been B. have been, are
C. are, were D. are, had been
答案選C,We are back where we were 的意思是我們(現在)又回到剛才來過的地方。
7. He is very busy. I dont know if he _____ or not tomorrow.
A. come B. comes
C. will come D. is coming
【陷阱】此題容易誤選B。認為 if 引導的是條件狀語從句,從句謂語要用一般現在時表示將來意義。
【分析】其實,此題答案應選C,句中if引導的不是條件狀語從句(即if如果),而是賓語從句(即if=是否),句意為他很忙,我不知道明天他是否會來。請看以下類似試題:
(1) I dont know if she _____, but if she ____ I will let you know.
A. comes, comes B. will come, will come
C. comes, will come D. will come, comes
答案選 D,第一個 if 引導的是賓語從句,第二個 if 引導的是條件狀語從句。
(2) When _____ he come? I dont know, but when he _____, Ill tell you.
A. does, comes B. will, will come
C. does, will come D. will, comes
答案選 D,第一個 when 疑問副詞,用于引出一個特殊疑問句;第二個 when是從屬連詞,用于引導時間狀語從句。
(3) When he _____ is not known yet. But when he ____, he will be warmly welcomed.
A. comes, comes B. will come, will come
C. comes, will come D. will come, comes
答案選 D,第一個 when 引導的是主語從句,第二個 when引導的是時間狀語從句。
8. The bridge, which _____ 1688, needs repairing.
A. is dated from B. was dated from
C. dates from D. dated from
【陷阱】此題容易誤選B或D,認為句中用了 1688 這個過去時間,所以應選過去時態,又因為 date from 不用于被動語態,所以只能選D。
【分析】其實此題的最佳答案應是C,因為 date from 的意思是自某時起存在至今(=have existed since),它通常用于一般現在時,而不用過去時態(盡管其后接的總是表示過去的時間)。如:
The church dates from 1176. 這座教堂是六世紀建的。
The castle dates from the 14th century. 這座城堡是14世紀建的。
但若所談論的東西現在已不復存在,則可用一般過去時。如:
The church, which dated from the 13th century, was destroyed in an earthquake two years ago. 那座教堂是13世紀建成的,兩年前在一次地震中被毀了。
注:與 date from 同義的 date back to 也有類似用法。
9. Youve left the light on. Oh, so I have. _____ and turn it off.
A. Ill go B. Ive gone
C. I go D. Im going
【陷阱】容易誤選D。
【分析】A和D兩者均可表示將來,填入空格處似乎都可以。但實際上只有A是最佳的,因為根據上下文的語境來看,我去把燈關掉這一行為是說話人聽了對方的話后臨時想到的,而不是事先準備的。而按英語習慣:will 和 be going to后接動詞原形均可表示意圖,但意圖有強弱之分,如果是事先考慮過的意圖,要用 be going to;如果不是事先考慮過的,而是說話時刻才臨時想到的意圖,則用 will。比較:
Ive come out without any money. Never mind, I will lend you some. 我出來沒帶錢。沒關系,我借給你。(句中用will lend,表示借錢給對方是臨時想到的,即聽了對方的話后臨時作出的反應)
Ive bought a typewriter and Im going to learn to type. 我買了臺打字機,我想學打字。(句中用 be going to learn to type,表示說話人要學打字是事先準備的,并為此買了臺打字機)
