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Whats=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 hasnt 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whenwas 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.16。 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。17. 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。18。 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。19. 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。 20. 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。21. 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 (from www.hxen。com）。22. 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.23。 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.24. 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”。25. 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”。26。 C.由I arrived late可知是过去的情况。I hadt expected表示过去没有料到.句意为“我迟到了。我没料到路面结冰”.27。 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”。28。 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。
