從近幾年各省的高考試題,我們不難看出其考點主要分布在動詞時態(tài)基本用法和已混時態(tài)的比較,以及特定情景和特定句式中時態(tài)運用,除了掌握時態(tài)基本概念和表現(xiàn)形式,還要特別強化具體語境中的活用。
時態(tài)考點及高考
一、一般過去時和過去進行時比較
一般過去時強調(diào)動作結(jié)束,而過去進行時對過去某時刻正在進行或過去某一階段持續(xù)的動作
— Did you watch the basketball match yesterday?
— Yes, I did, You know, my brother __ in the match .
A. is play B. was playing C. has played D. had played
解讀:根據(jù)yesterday可知,動作發(fā)生在過去,答語“當時我兄弟正在打這場比賽”,選B
二、一般過去時,現(xiàn)在完成時與過去完成時比較
一般過去時表過去發(fā)生的動作,常和明確的時間狀語連用;現(xiàn)在完成時表動作發(fā)生在過去,且對現(xiàn)在有影響,即過去為因現(xiàn)在為果;而過去完成時強調(diào)某動作發(fā)生在過去在另一個動作前就已經(jīng)完成,即“過去的過去”。
1. We first met on a train in 2000. We both felt immediately that we ___ each other for years.
A. knew B. have known C. had known D. know
解讀:For years 是完成時的時間狀語,know是在met前.選C
2. I dont believe youve already finished reading the book — I __ it to you this morning!
A. would lend B. was lending C. had lent D. lent
解讀:從句中this morning可知用過去時,表示“我今天早晨才借給你這本書”. 選D
三、現(xiàn)在進行時與完成進行時的比較
現(xiàn)在進行時表正在進行的動作;而完成進行時表從過去某一時間開始一直持續(xù)到說話時停止或仍繼續(xù)進行的動作。
1. Cathy is taking notes of the grammatical rules in class at a Night School, where she___ English for a year.
A. studies B. studied C .is studying D. has been studying
解讀:study動作到目前還在進行中,for a year又是完成時態(tài)時間狀語,選D
2. — Did you find the missing tourists in the mountains yesterday?
— No, but we ___ to get in touch with them ever since.
A. ha tried B. have been trying C. ha tried D. ha been trying
解讀:答語中“No”和”ever since”可知,用現(xiàn)在完成進行時表示“一直和他們設(shè)法聯(lián)系”。選B
四、時態(tài)的特殊運用
特殊時態(tài)和特定句型中的特定時態(tài)。條件狀語從句中,常用一般現(xiàn)在時代替一般將來時,有時表示按日程、時刻定時發(fā)生的動作,用進行時表即將發(fā)生的動作。
1. The wet weather will continue tomorrow when a cold front __ to arrive
A. is expected B .is expecting C. expects D. will be expected
解讀:當主句用了一般將來時從句要用一般現(xiàn)在時代替一般將來時.選A
2. Look at the timetable. Hurry up! Flight 6120___ off at 18:20.
A. takes B. took C. will be taken D. has taken
解讀:用一般現(xiàn)在時表示定時發(fā)生的動作。選A
3. Id rather you ___ tomorrow than today.
A. come B .are coming C. came D. have come
解讀:would rather后面的從句用一般過去時,選C
類似的特殊句型還有:It is high /about time that s.b + 過去時
It is the+序數(shù)詞+time + that s.b + 現(xiàn)在完成時
It was the+序數(shù)詞+time + that s.b + 過去完成時
五、時態(tài)的綜合運用及比較
1.根據(jù)對話或語境判斷時態(tài)。這一題目一般不會直接給出時間狀語,而要求考生根據(jù)具體語境或說話人意圖來判斷
時態(tài)。
— Whats that noise?
— oh, I forgot to tell you, The new machine ___
A. was tested B. will be tested
C. is being tested D. has been tested
解讀:從問句可知,指目前正在發(fā)生的事情。選C
— Do you know if Terry will go camping this weekend?
— Terry?Never ! she ___ tents and fresh air!
解讀:此情景指Terry的一貫行為,所以選用一般現(xiàn)在時。選D
2.根據(jù)句意判斷時態(tài)。這類題目較難,考生只有理解了句子本身的含義,理清動作內(nèi)在的聯(lián)系才能做出正確的判斷。
The telephone___, but by the time I got indoors, it stopped.
A had rung B. was ringing C. rings D. has rung
解讀:從題干可知,描述當時電話一直在響。選Bendprint
