众所周知,时间状语是时态最重要的标志,因此,利用时态标志而缺乏解题依据时,解题关键在于分析语境逻辑寻找时态依据。
一、寻找时态标志,巧解时态试题
每一种特定的时态都有其相应的时态标志,寻找其时态并认真加以分析可以巧解时态试题,常见的时态标志有:
1. 以动作发生的时间状语为时态标志
时间状语是特定时态的第一标志, 如:now, at present往往是一般现在时或现在进行时的标志;yesterday, last week, a few years ago往往是一般过去时的标志;at that time, at the time, at this time yesterday, then往往是过去进行时的标志;tomorrow, next week, in an hour往往是一般将来时的标志。如:
——Surfing first started on the islands of Hawaii, didn’t it?
——Yes, but now it ____ by people all over the world.
A. is enjoyedB. was enjoyedC. has enjoyedD. will enjoy
析:正确答案为A项。now制约着该空,表示冲浪现在被全世界人民所喜爱,因此应用一般现在时的被动语态。
It ____ Jack twenty minutes ____ the math problem yesterday.
A. took; to work outB. takes; to work out
C. has taken; working outD. is taking; working out
析:正确答案为A项。yesterday表明第一空为过去性动词,故用一般过去时。
——I can’t find my pen. Can I use yours?
——Sorry, I ____ it now.
A. am usingB. was usingC. have usedD. used
析:正确答案为A项。now暗示此刻“我”正在使用钢笔,故应用现在进行时。
2. 以特定词汇为时态标志
特定词汇也往往标志着特定时态, 如:often, always, usually, never,seldom, once a week表示现在经常性、习惯性的动作,应用一般现在时;“for+时间段”和“since+时间点”往往表明到现在或过去某一时刻为止动作已持续若干时间,应用现在或过去完成时;by后接过去时间状语表示到过去某一时刻为止已经完成的动作,应用过去完成时;up to now/today, until now/today, recently, lately, in recent years, all these days, so far, several times往往表示到现在或今天为止动作已持续若干时间,或发生若干次,应用现在完成时;in the past/last few years表示在到目前为止已经过去的几年里,应用现在完成时;in the next/following few years表示在随后的几年里,应用一般过去时;in the coming few years表示在即将到来的几年里,应用一般将来时。如:
You don’t have to describe her. I ____ her several times.
A. had metB. have metC. metD. meet
析:正确答案为B项。several times为完成时的标志,前句don’t形式表明后句标准对照时间点为现在,因此该空应用现在完成时。
——Is your father a Party member?
——Yes, he ____ the Party three years ago. He ____ a Party
member for three years.
A. has joined; has beenB. joined; has been
C. joined; wasD. was joined; is
析:正确答案为B项。three years ago制约着第一空为过去性动作,应用一般过去时;for three years为完成时标志,因该句为直接引语,标准对照时间点应为现在,因此第二空应用现在完成时。
——Do you know Betty very well?
——Yes, she and I ____ friends since we met in Guangzhou last
summer.
A. have madeB. have becomeC. have beenD. have turned
析:正确答案为C项。since为完成时标志,该句为直接引语,标准对照时间点为现在,因此该空应用现在完成时。因since引导时间段,谓语动词应用持续性动词,故A、B、D项均错误。
The supermarket is far from Mary’s house. So she ____ only once a week.
A. goes shoppingB. has been there
C. was shoppingD. has gone there
析:正确答案为A项。 once a week暗示该空表经常性、习惯性的动作,应用一般现在时。
3. 以特定句型为时态标志
有些特殊句型往往标志着特定时态,抓住这一点也可以巧解时态题。如:“It is the first (second…) time that”句型用现在完成时;“It is+时间+ since”句型用一般过去时,“It was+时间+since”句型用过去完成时;时间状语从句和条件状语从句应用一般现在时代替一般将来时。如:
——Will you come to the dinner party?
——I won’t come unless Jenny ____.
A. will be invitedB. can be invited
C. invitedD. is invited
析:正确答案为D项。分析语境逻辑不难发现,该句为unless引导的条件状语从句,应用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
Mr. Green always tells his daughter a story before she ____ to sleep.
A. will goB. wentC. is goingD. goes
析:正确答案为D项。分析语境逻辑可知,该句为before引导的时间状语从句,应用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
二、分析语境逻辑,巧解时态试题
不少时态试题既无时间状语又无其他标志,语境抽象、语义空泛,考生们感到没有解题依据,找不到解题突破口。怎么办?标志不存语境在,分析语境学时态。如:
——Hurry up!We’re all waiting for you.
——I ____ for an important phone call. Go without me.
A. waitB. was waitingC. am waitingD. waited
析:正确答案为C项。分析语境逻辑可知,我不能和你去是因为此刻我在等一个重要电话,因此应用现在进行时。
——Where is the librarian?
——She ____ to the bookshop.
A. wentB. has goneC. goesD. will go
析:正确答案为B项。分析问句逻辑可知,图书管理员此刻不在,那么她到哪里去了?to the bookshop暗示她已到书店去了,因此应用现在完成时。
——I called you yesterday evening, but there was no answer.
——Oh, I am sorry; I ____ dinner at my friend’s home.
A. haveB. hadC. was havingD. have had
析:正确答案为C项。分析语境逻辑可知,昨天你给我打电话时我正在吃饭,因此应用过去进行时。
Don’t make so much noise. The students ____ an English class.
A. are havingB. haveC. hadD. were having
析: 正确答案为A项。由Don’t make so much noise的语境逻辑可以推断,学生们此刻正在上英语课,因此应用现在进行时。
一、寻找时态标志,巧解时态试题
每一种特定的时态都有其相应的时态标志,寻找其时态并认真加以分析可以巧解时态试题,常见的时态标志有:
1. 以动作发生的时间状语为时态标志
时间状语是特定时态的第一标志, 如:now, at present往往是一般现在时或现在进行时的标志;yesterday, last week, a few years ago往往是一般过去时的标志;at that time, at the time, at this time yesterday, then往往是过去进行时的标志;tomorrow, next week, in an hour往往是一般将来时的标志。如:
——Surfing first started on the islands of Hawaii, didn’t it?
——Yes, but now it ____ by people all over the world.
A. is enjoyedB. was enjoyedC. has enjoyedD. will enjoy
析:正确答案为A项。now制约着该空,表示冲浪现在被全世界人民所喜爱,因此应用一般现在时的被动语态。
It ____ Jack twenty minutes ____ the math problem yesterday.
A. took; to work outB. takes; to work out
C. has taken; working outD. is taking; working out
析:正确答案为A项。yesterday表明第一空为过去性动词,故用一般过去时。
——I can’t find my pen. Can I use yours?
——Sorry, I ____ it now.
A. am usingB. was usingC. have usedD. used
析:正确答案为A项。now暗示此刻“我”正在使用钢笔,故应用现在进行时。
2. 以特定词汇为时态标志
特定词汇也往往标志着特定时态, 如:often, always, usually, never,seldom, once a week表示现在经常性、习惯性的动作,应用一般现在时;“for+时间段”和“since+时间点”往往表明到现在或过去某一时刻为止动作已持续若干时间,应用现在或过去完成时;by后接过去时间状语表示到过去某一时刻为止已经完成的动作,应用过去完成时;up to now/today, until now/today, recently, lately, in recent years, all these days, so far, several times往往表示到现在或今天为止动作已持续若干时间,或发生若干次,应用现在完成时;in the past/last few years表示在到目前为止已经过去的几年里,应用现在完成时;in the next/following few years表示在随后的几年里,应用一般过去时;in the coming few years表示在即将到来的几年里,应用一般将来时。如:
You don’t have to describe her. I ____ her several times.
A. had metB. have metC. metD. meet
析:正确答案为B项。several times为完成时的标志,前句don’t形式表明后句标准对照时间点为现在,因此该空应用现在完成时。
——Is your father a Party member?
——Yes, he ____ the Party three years ago. He ____ a Party
member for three years.
A. has joined; has beenB. joined; has been
C. joined; wasD. was joined; is
析:正确答案为B项。three years ago制约着第一空为过去性动作,应用一般过去时;for three years为完成时标志,因该句为直接引语,标准对照时间点应为现在,因此第二空应用现在完成时。
——Do you know Betty very well?
——Yes, she and I ____ friends since we met in Guangzhou last
summer.
A. have madeB. have becomeC. have beenD. have turned
析:正确答案为C项。since为完成时标志,该句为直接引语,标准对照时间点为现在,因此该空应用现在完成时。因since引导时间段,谓语动词应用持续性动词,故A、B、D项均错误。
The supermarket is far from Mary’s house. So she ____ only once a week.
A. goes shoppingB. has been there
C. was shoppingD. has gone there
析:正确答案为A项。 once a week暗示该空表经常性、习惯性的动作,应用一般现在时。
3. 以特定句型为时态标志
有些特殊句型往往标志着特定时态,抓住这一点也可以巧解时态题。如:“It is the first (second…) time that”句型用现在完成时;“It is+时间+ since”句型用一般过去时,“It was+时间+since”句型用过去完成时;时间状语从句和条件状语从句应用一般现在时代替一般将来时。如:
——Will you come to the dinner party?
——I won’t come unless Jenny ____.
A. will be invitedB. can be invited
C. invitedD. is invited
析:正确答案为D项。分析语境逻辑不难发现,该句为unless引导的条件状语从句,应用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
Mr. Green always tells his daughter a story before she ____ to sleep.
A. will goB. wentC. is goingD. goes
析:正确答案为D项。分析语境逻辑可知,该句为before引导的时间状语从句,应用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
二、分析语境逻辑,巧解时态试题
不少时态试题既无时间状语又无其他标志,语境抽象、语义空泛,考生们感到没有解题依据,找不到解题突破口。怎么办?标志不存语境在,分析语境学时态。如:
——Hurry up!We’re all waiting for you.
——I ____ for an important phone call. Go without me.
A. waitB. was waitingC. am waitingD. waited
析:正确答案为C项。分析语境逻辑可知,我不能和你去是因为此刻我在等一个重要电话,因此应用现在进行时。
——Where is the librarian?
——She ____ to the bookshop.
A. wentB. has goneC. goesD. will go
析:正确答案为B项。分析问句逻辑可知,图书管理员此刻不在,那么她到哪里去了?to the bookshop暗示她已到书店去了,因此应用现在完成时。
——I called you yesterday evening, but there was no answer.
——Oh, I am sorry; I ____ dinner at my friend’s home.
A. haveB. hadC. was havingD. have had
析:正确答案为C项。分析语境逻辑可知,昨天你给我打电话时我正在吃饭,因此应用过去进行时。
Don’t make so much noise. The students ____ an English class.
A. are havingB. haveC. hadD. were having
析: 正确答案为A项。由Don’t make so much noise的语境逻辑可以推断,学生们此刻正在上英语课,因此应用现在进行时。
