50、eady,everysince,foralongtime,yesterday,in1992,now。2.语气：考生认为困难的是对虚拟语气试题的判断。此类试题一般分两种情况，一种情况是带有表虚拟条件句或短句的词语在问题句中，如without，if等，另一种需要根据上下文或逻辑关系来判断。3.非谓语动词：非谓语动词各自具有不同的语法功能和使用范围。分词作定语和表示原因、时间和伴随状语；不定式作定语和表示目的和结果状语。动名词可以做宾语、主语、表语或介词宾语。因此做非谓语动词的试题，要注意分析其在句中的语法作用，另外还要注意一些词的固定用法，牢固掌握必须跟动名词的动词和必须跟动词不定式的动词也是很必
