  对动词时态的考查是高考能力测试的一项重要内容,也是同学们颇感棘手的一项语言点。为便于大家掌握这一语言现象,本文从几个方面进行分析。
  
  一、熟练掌握常用的八种时态的不同形式、用法以及标志性的时间状语
  
  1. 对一般现在时的考查
  一般现在时表示经常性、习惯性的动作;表示现在的状态、特征和真理。常用的时间状语有always, every time, now and then, occasionally, often, seldom, sometimes, usually等。
  (1) As you can see, the number of cars on roads _______ rising these days. (2006年高考全国卷)
  A. keeping B. keep
  C. keeps D. were keeping
  解析:根据主谓一致以及时间状语these days可以推断答案是C。
  (2) Months ago we sailed ten thousand miles across the open sea, which ________ the Pacific, and we met no storm. (2005年高考辽宁卷)
  A. was called B. is called
  C. had been called D. has been called
  解析:现在the open sea被称作the Pacific,表示客观事实,故用一般现在时,所以答案是B。
  知识拓展: 表示“运动”的动词(go, come, leave, start, begin, stop, open等)有明确的时间点,多用一般现在时,表示安排或计划好的将来动作;如没有明确的时间点,通常用进行时来表示将来时。
  (3) The plane _______ at nine o’clock in the morning.
  A. takes off B. is taking off
  C. is going to take off D. will take off
  答案是A。
  (4) Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts. The plane ________. (2006年高考福建卷)
  A. takes off B. is taking off
  C. has taken off D. took off
  答案是B。
  2. 对一般过去时的考查
  表示在过去某时间发生的动作或存在的状态或过去反复发生的动作。它常与表示过去的时间状语连用,如:yesterday, last week, last night, the other day, just now, two days ago, in 2006, at that time, then等。
  I know a little bit about Italy as my wife and I ________ there several years ago. (2007年高考全国卷)
  A. are going B. had been
  C. went D. have been
  解析:由句中时间状语 several years ago 可知, 要用一般过去时,所以答案是C。
  知识拓展:表示过去某一段时间内经常或反复发生的动作常与often,usually,seldom等表示频度的副词连用。如:
  When I was in the countryside, I often called at that farm there.
  3. 对一般将来时的考查
  一般将来时表示将来的动作或状态。常用的时间状语有:next week, this evening, tomorrow 等。
  -Did you tell Julia about the result?
  -Oh, no, I forgot. I ________ her now. (2005年高考全国卷)
  A. will be calling B. will call
  C. call D. am to call
  解析:根据题意:“我现在就去告诉Julia”, 表示将要发生的动作;而 be to do sth. 表示按打算或安排即将发生的动作, 不合题意, 故答案是B。
  I feel it is your husband who _______ for the spoiled child. (2002年高考上海卷)
  A. is to blame B. is going to blame
  C. is to be blamed D. should blame
  解析:be to blame表示按职责、义务要求要发生的动作, 意为“应受谴责, 应负责任”, 故答案是A。
  知识拓展:(1)“be going to + 动词原形”表示将来打算、计划、决定要做的事或肯定要发生的事。We are going to visit the Yellow Mountains. 还可表示说话人根据已知的事实或迹象,认为某事即将发生、肯定会发生或可能会出现的情况。Look at the clouds. It’s going to rain!(2)“be about to + 动词原形”表示打算或安排即将发生的动作。它不能与具体的时间状语连用。The concert is about to start. (3)“be to + 动词原形”表示约定的、计划中的或按职责、义务要发生的动作, 这种动作通常是人的意志所能控制的, 或用于征求意见。
  4. 对现在进行时的考查
  表示现在或现阶段正在进行或发生的动作。现在进行时由“be + 现在分词”, 被动结构为“am/ is/are + being + 过去分词”构成。
  (1) Since I won the big prize, my telephone hasn’t stopped ringing. People ________ to ask how I am going to spend the money. (2005年高考湖南卷)
  A. phone B. will phone
  C. were phoning D. are phoning
  答案是D。
  (2) With more forests being destroyed, huge quantities of good earth _______ each year.
  A. is washing away
  B. is being washed away
  C. are washing away
  D. are being washed away
  答案是D。
  知识拓展: (1)表示感觉、愿望和状态的某些动词hear, see, like, contain, belong to, have on, understand, have, know 等一般不用进行时。(2) 进行时常与always, forever, continually, constantly, instantly, continuously等频度副词连用,表示经常、反复发生的动作。表达说话者厌烦、愤怒、抱怨、赞扬等情感,不强调动作的进行性。例如:
  He is such a man who is always finding fault with other people. (表示责怪)
  They’re forever quarrelling about something. (表示不满)
  (3)现在进行时与一般现在时的区别是:前者表示动作的暂时性而后者表示动作的长期性。
  5. 对过去进行时的考查
  通常把过去进行时放在特定的语境中来考查(如: when, while, as 等引导的时间状语从句)。如果主句谓语和从句谓语都发生在过去,动作时间长的用过去进行时, 表达谈话情景; 动作时间短的用一般过去时, 表达新的信息。
  The manager had fallen asleep where he ______, without undressing. (2005年高考安徽卷)
  A. was laying B. was lying
  C. had laid D. had lied
  答案是B。
  6. 对现在完成时的考查
  现在完成时不仅表示动作在说话之前已经完成,而且强调动作对现在造成的影响。
  He was hoping to go abroad but his parents _______ that they won’t support him unless he can borrow money from the bank. (2005年高考湖北卷)
  A. were deciding B. have decided
  C. decided D. will decide
  答案是B。
  知识拓展:(1) 由终止性动词leave, arrive, come, go, return, begin, start, put, start, put, stop, die, fall, buy, borrow, see等构成的完成时不能与for或since引导的时间状语连用。但这些终止性动词的否定式可以与for或since短语连用。
  -_______ David and Vicky _______ married?
  -For about three years. (2003年高考北京卷)
  A. How long were; being
  B. How long have; got
  C. How long have; been
  D. How long did; get
  解析:How long表示一段的时间, 所以谓语动词应用持续性的谓语动词, 故答案是C。
  (2) 现在完成时与一般过去式的区别:一般过去时着重说明动作发生的时间、地点、方式等,与现在不发生联系,且句中一般有表示过去的时间状语;而现在完成时只说明现在的情况,对现在有影响。
  -Where _________ the MP4? I can’t find it anywhere.
  - I _______ it right here. But now it’s gone.
  A. did you put; have put
  B. have you put; put
  C. had you put; was putting
  D. were you putting; put
  答案是B。
  7. 对现在完成进行时的考查
  现在完成进行时是由“have/has been + 现在分词”构成,表示从过去某一时刻开始一直延续到现在,还可能继续下去,也可能刚刚结束。它与现在完成时的区别是:现在完成时强调的是完成的动作,而现在完成进行时是持续了一段时间的动作,这个动作刚停止或仍在继续。
  Cathy is taking notes of the grammatical rules in class at Sunshine School, where she _______ English for a year. (2007年高考湖南卷)
  A. studies B. studied
  C. is studying D. has been studying
  解析:由句意可知Cathy在Sunshine School一直在学英语, 也可能还要持续学习下去, 所以用现在完成进行时, 故答案是D。
  8. 对过去完成时态的考查
  过去完成时,经常以“过去”为参照,表达“过去的过去”所发生的动作。通常把这一时态放在含有when, before, after, until, as soon as等引导的时间状语从句的复合句中考查。
  They became friends again that day. Until then, they _______ to each other for nearly two years.(2007年高考安徽卷)
  A. didn’t speak
  B. hadn’t spoken
  C. haven’t spoken
  D. haven’t been speaking
  答案是B。
  
  二、要掌握复合句中主从句时态前后呼应的特点
  
  在以when, till/until, as soon as, by the time, after, before 等引导的时间状语从句;以if, unless, once等引导的条件状语从句和以no matter, however, even though 等词引导的让步状语从句中, 如果从句表示将来的概念, 从句应用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
  (1) Send my regards to your lovely wife when you _______ home. (2006年高考上海卷)
  A. wrote B. will write
  C. have written D. write
  解析:由when引导的时间状语从句, 如表示一个将来的概念, 从句应用一般现在时代替一般将来时, 故答案是D。
  (2) They _______ on the program for almost one week before I joined them, and now we _______ it as no good results have come out so far. (2005年高考江苏卷)
  A. had been working; are still working
  B. had worked; were still working
  C. have been working; have worked
  D. have worked; are still working
  解析:从before引导的时间状语从句中的过去时可知主句应用过去完成时;第二空由句中的时间状语now可知应用现在进行时,故答案是A。
  (3)By the time Jane gets home, her aunt______ for London to attend a meeting. (2005年高考天津卷)
  A. will leave B. leaves
  C. will have left D. left
  解析:从By the time引导的时间状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时可知,主句应用一般将来时;而 By the time又是完成时的标志词,所以主句应用将来完成时,故答案是C。
  (4) -Did Linda see the traffic accident?
  -No, no sooner _______ it happened. (2006年高考天津卷)
  A. had she gone B. she had gone
  C. has she gone D. she has gone
  解析:由no sooner... than引导的时间状语从句,no sooner放在句首,要采用倒装,且主句应用过去完成时,所以答案是A。
  (5) If only he ________ quietly as the doctor instructed, he would not suffer so much now.
  A. lies B. lay
  C. had lain D. should lie
  解析:此句由If only 引导虚拟条件句,表示与过去的事实相反,所以从句用过去完成时,故答案是C。
  
  三、体会语境,理解情景,在语言运用中捕捉有效信息
  
  (1) Shirley ______ a book about China last year but I don’t know whether she has finished it.
  A. has written B. wrote
  C. had written D. was writing
  解析:句中 last year表明是过去一段时间, I don’t know whether she has finished it表明这本书到目前是否已完成不得而知,但去年这段时间一直在写, 故用过去进行时态, 所以答案是D。
  (2) -If the traffic hadn’t been so heavy, I could have been back by 6 o’clock.
  - What a pity! Tina _______ here to see you.(2005年高考湖南卷)
  A. is B. was
  C. would be D. has been
  解析:由第一句中的虚拟语气这一语境可知,表示“过去本可以做某事而实际上没有做到”;由第二句What a pity 可以推测Tina 当时等着见他,而现在已经走了,故用一般过去时,所以答案是B。
  (3)-Is there anything wrong, Bob? You look sad.
  -Oh, nothing much. In fact, I ______ of my friends back home. (2007年高考全国卷)
  A. have just thought
  B. was just thinking
  C. would just think
  D. will just be thinking
  解析:从上句可知说话人想了解刚才的事情,答语人向他说明事情发生的理由,用过去进行时态语气更加委婉,故答案是B。
  (4) Listen to the two girls by the window. What language ______?(2005年高考全国卷)
  A. did they speak
  B. were they speaking
  C. are they speaking
  D. have they been speaking
  解析:根据“Listen to the two girls by the window”这一语境,表示这一动作正在进行,故答案是C。
  (5) -You’ve left the light on.
  -Oh, so I have. ______ and turn it off.
   A. I’ll go B. I’ve gone
  C. I go D. I’m going
  解析:根据语境应该用将来时态,I’ll go and turn it off意为:我就去把灯关掉。I’m going虽然可表示将来但不能和后边的turn it off 连用,故答案是A。

定语从句是高中英语学习的重要语法知识之一,也是历年高考的热点。下面我们来一起分析2007年NMET的14套试卷中的定语从句的题目:    通过以上的分析,我们会发现2007年定语从句考查的重点有以下五个方面:非限制性定语从句,关系代词在从句中做主语;介词加关系代词;关系副词在从句中做状语。它的难点在于介词的选择和关系副词的选择。除此之外,命题者还会通过改变句子的正常语序或借助于其它语法项目来体现。
