年高考英语热点时态命题分析.docVIP

2010年高考英语热点时态命题分析英语一共有16种时态，中学阶段比较常用的有10种，但高考英语对时态的考查主要涉及四种，它们是一般过去时、过去进行时、现在完成时、过去完成时。去年全国18套高考英语试卷共涉及时态考点21道题，但其中有19题考的是上面提到的四种时态，约占整个时态考点的90%。由此可见这四种时态不仅重要，而且很“热”。 一、一般过去时考点的命题特点　　1. 利用插入成分考查一般过去时的用法　　As the years passed, many occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations — ______ with Dad’s flowers. 湖南卷 　　A. are marked B. were marked C. have marked D. had marked　　【解析】B。由于句中增加了插入成分birthdays, awards, graduations，使得句子的主语与谓语were marked分离，从而增加了考生对句子理解的难度。根据句意，空格处应填被动语态；再根据句中的passed的时态特点可知，空格处也应用一般过去时，故选B。 　　2. 利用标志性时间状语考查一般过去时的用法　　I know a little bit about Italy as my wife and I ______ there several years ago. 全国I 　　A. are going B. had been C. went D. have been　　【解析】C。根据句末的过去时间状语several years ago可知，此处应用一般过去时。 　　3. 利用语境背景考查一般过去时的用法　　 1 When I called you this morning, nobody answered the phone. Where ______? 重庆卷 　　A. did you go B. have you gone C. were you D. had you been　　【解析】C。句子的前半部分说上午打电话时没有人接电话，而后半部分问对方当时在什么地方，显然，句子前后两部分的时间应一致，即用一般过去时。 2 —Ouch! You hurt me!　　—I am sorry. But I ______ any harm. I ______ to drive a rat out. 江西卷 　　A. didn’t mean; tried B. don’t mean; am trying　　C. haven’t meant; tried D. didn’t mean; was trying　　【解析】D。第一空填一般过去时，指对前面发生的情况作出解释；第二空填过去进行时，指过去正进行的动作。答语的意思是：对不起。但我不是有意要弄伤你，我是在把一只老鼠赶出去。 　　4. 利用主句过去时谓语考查从句过去时的用法　　 1 The flowers were so lovely that they ______ in no time. 全国I 　　A. sold B. had been sold C. were sold D. would sell　　【解析】C。根据前面的过去式谓语were可知，后面也要用一般过去时；再根据“花”与“卖”的关系可知，此处要用被动语态，故选C。 2 The play had already been on for quite some time when we ______ at the New Theatre. 浙江卷 　　A. have arrived B. arrived C. had arrived D. arrive　　【解析】B。由于句中的had already been用的是过去完成时，而根据句意，arrive显然应发生在其后，故要用一般过去时。全句意为：当我们到达新剧院时，戏已经演了好一会儿了。 　　二、过去进行时的命题特点　　综观所有的过去进行时考题，它们无一例外地有个共同特点，就是考查在特定语境背景下某一动作正在进行的情形。请看实例：　　 1 —It was really very kind of you to give me a lift home.　　—Oh, don’t mention it. I ______ past your house anyway. 北京卷 　　A. was coming B. will come C. had come D. have come　　【解析】A。根据前面一句中的was可知，搭车的事发生在过去，所以“我开车要经过你的家门口”也发生
