高考英语时态命题思路透析 时态是高考单项填空必考的语法项目。今年全国有很多省份单独命题,笔者从这些试题中选出一些有关时态的单项填空题,就命题思路、解题方法等方面进行逐一评析,希望对同学们的复习有所启发和帮助。 一、 一般过去时 一般过去时一直是时态测试的考查热点,很受命题人的青睐。请看今年高考各省、市卷有关一般过去时的试题。 [高考试题] 1. I________ you not to move my dictionary-now I cant find it. [吉林] A. asked B. ask C. was asking D. had asked 2. -I hear Jane has gone to the Holy Island for her holiday. -Oh, how nice!Do you know when she________? [湖南] A. was leaving B. had left C. has left D. left 3. The discussion ________ alive when an interesting topic was brought in. [浙江] A. was coming B. had come C. has come D. came 4. Sales of CDs have greatly increased since the early 1990s, when people ________ to enjoy the advantages of this new technology. [江苏] A. begin B. began C. have begun D. had begun [试题分析] 1. A。抓住关键词now去分析。题意为:我(刚才)叫你别动我的词典--现在我找不到了。一般过去时可表示发生在过去的动作。过去进行时表示过去正在进行或未完成的动作,所以不能选C。 2. D。抓住关键词when去理解。在过去某个具体时间发生的事情用一般过去时。 3. D。come属于短暂性动词。when可以表示两个短暂的动作同时发生。 4. B。应该分析清楚这句话的结构:when引导的是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the early 1990s。定语从句的时间状语其实是in the early 1990s,故从句用一般过去时。 [命题思路] 命题人在出有关一般过去时的试题时,一般不会在题干中给出明确的表示过去的时间状语,而是通过语境中的关键词确定时态背景,考查考生灵活运用时态知识的能力。能够反映时态背景的关键词可以是连词,如before, when等,或者像now这类表示与过去对比的时间副词,或者是表示时间的名词作先行词,要求据此判断定语从句的时态。 [指点迷津] 做有关一般过去时的试题时,一定要吃透语境,抓住语境中的关键词去分析判断,同时还要能深刻领悟使用一般过去时的场合及其含义,所以考生要能区别几种容易与一般过去时混淆的时态。 二、进行时态 进行时态分为现在进行时和过去进行时,进行时态在高考试题中出现的频率也很高。 [高考试题] 1. -Has Sam finished his homework today? - I have no idea. He ________ it this morning. [吉林] A. did B. has done C. was doing D. had done 2. - Whats that terrible noise? - The neighbors ________ for a party.
