1选C。该句的含义是“他走进办公室，坐下来然后开始填表”。根据前面的stepped into the office后面的began to fill in the forms这两个动作能够推断出，sat与他们是一个主语发出的三个并列动作，故形式应一致，也用一般过去式。
　　2选A。
　　3选C。在这个时间状语从句中，主句谓语动词的动作发生在从句谓语动作之前，即“电影开演了十分钟”在“到达电影院”之前，故主句谓语动词应该用过去完成时，又因为begin这个动作无法延续，所以用be动词加上副词on来表示动作的延续。
　　4选B。当主句是一般将来时，条件状语从句和时间状语从句要用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
　　5选B。
　　6选B。
　　7选B。现在完成时的肯定句和段时间状语连用时必须用持续性动词。本题A、B两句都是现在完成时肯定句，而且都有时间状语。have是持续性动词，而buy是瞬时性动词，所以A对，B不对。C、D两种译法采用一般过去式，其两种说说法也都是正确的，请同学们注意这种表达方法。
　　8选B。句意是“我过去从来没想到你会给我带件礼物。”现在收到了礼物，用How nice of you!这一感叹句来表达内心的喜悦心情。
　　9选B。第一分句中时间状语从句是一般过去时，所以主句也应该用一般过去时，而but连续的第二分句表示的却是一个延续到目前的状态，与第一分句有对比之意，即过去与现在对比。第二个分句可以视为省略了now,应该用现在完成时。句意是：“我在大学时能说三门外国语，但现在除了几个单词之外几乎全忘光了。”
　　10.选D。宾语从句中的动作break into与steal发生在found这一过去时之前，因此用过去完成时。且house与break into, things与steal有被动关系。
　　11.选B。主句用一般将来时或一般现在时，从句通常用一般现在时或现在完成时。
　　12、选C。全句意思表示第一动作正在进行，这时突然发生了另一个动作。When是并列连词，相当于and at that time(moment).
　　13、选D。
　　14、选A。答话中的not yet，说明没搬入新房的原因是“房间正在被粉刷。”用现在进行时的被动语态。
　　15、选C。从原题中的We could have walked to the station, it was so near，是一个与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，言外之意是“如果我们知道车站这样近，就会步行去了，而出租车毫无必要”。但实际上并不知道，所以乘了出租车。根据这一情景，考生便可得知A为正确答案。
　　16、选B。It/This is+序数词+time+that的句型中，that从句常用现在完成时。
　　17、选A。
　　18、选A。在真实条件的状语从句中，主句应用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时，且city noises和keep是被动关系。
　　19、选A。slip into这个“点”动作发生在look这个动词之中，所以第一空用一般过去，第二空用过去进行时。意思是：“当没有人看见的时候，汤姆溜进了屋内。”
　　20、选D。表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作，应该用过去进行时。the last time相当于从属连词，引导时间状语从句。
　　21、
