2、的虚拟,而 but后面的内容是过去的事实,故用一般过去时或用过去进行时表示昨天整天在发生的动作。1.sells。表示事物本身属性时用主动,不用被动。例如,sell well“好卖”,write well“好写”,wash well“好洗”等。句意:他的田里的蔬菜看起来很新鲜,卖得很好。说的是一般情况,故用一般现在时,故填sells。3.How messy it is!Kevin,can I come in?Oh,Im so sorry.The house_(clean).4.Would you like to enjoy the ballet performance at the Grand
3、Theatre with us?Oh,sorry.I _(arrange)to go shopping with Mary.4.have arranged。句意:你想跟我们一块去看大剧院的芭蕾舞表演吗?对不起,我已经安排好和 Mary 去逛街。根据语境可知看电影这事已经准备好了。3.is being cleaned。句意:太乱了,凯文,我可以进来吗?对不起,房子正在打扫。根据How messy it is!可知打扫这个动作正在进行,且 the house 与 clean 之间为被动关系,故填 is being cleaned。5.I_(go)along the street looking f
4、or a place to park when the accident occurred.6.Look at the sweat on her face.She _(clean)the house since she got up this morning.6.has been cleaning。根据对话可知,打扫的动作从过去发生,持续到现在并且可能持续下去,故要用现在完成进行时,故填 has been cleaning。5.was going。句意:我正在沿路开车寻找一个停车的地方,这时一起事故发生了。be doing sth when.正在做某事时,这时(发生了意料之外的事情)。7.Ha

7、mean)to finish the work before dark,but the heavy rain held us up.12.Have they got their new house painted yet?I don t know.But I was told it _(paint)when I met them last week.12.was being painted。句意:他们刷完了新房了吗?不知道,但是上周他们告诉我正在刷。根据句意可知房子应该被刷,使用被动语态。根据 I dont know 可知上周还没有刷完。11.had meant。句意:我们本打算在天黑前完成这
8、项工作,但是大雨耽误了我们。had meant to do 表示“本打算做但是没做成”。13.Mike was rushed to hospital last night.Is he all right?Really?But dont worry!I_(go)tothe hospital and see him this afternoon.14.The couple are always_(quarrel).I really dont know why.14.quarreling。always 同进行时态连用通常表示说话者赞扬、责备、厌恶等情绪。13.will go。从第二个人回答的“Rea
9、lly?”可以看出他在此之前并不知道 Mike 住进医院的事情。所以,今天下午去医院探视就不会是早就有的计划。15.The little girl _(prefer)to go to the cinema rather than _(stay)at home alone that night.16.Would you like to tell me what our teacher said just now?She said that light_(travel)faster than sound.16.travels。表示客观真理常用一般现在时。15.preferred;stay。句意:那
10、个晚上这个小女孩宁愿去看电影也不愿一个人呆在家里。时间是 that night,所以用一般过去时,这里使用了词组 prefer to do.rather than do.。17.Has Tom finished writing his essay today?I have no idea.He _(write)it this morning.18.I know you _(leave)for Shanghai.When shall I come to pick you up?The train _(leave)at 9:30,so youd better come here at 8:30.1
11、8.are leaving;leaves。句意:我知道你要去上海,我什么时候来接你呢?9:30 的火车,所以,最好 8:30 到这儿吧。表示位置移动的词 come,go,leave,move 等可以用进行时表示将来;列车时刻表上的、规定好的时间做某事,用一般现在时。17.was writing。句意:汤姆今天写完他的论文了吗?我不知道。他这个上午一直在写。可知下文描述的是过去正在进行的动作。19.It was the third time that she _(come)to this mountain village to see the children.20.Her sister_(marry)to comrade Chen for two years.20.has been married。根据时间状语 for two years,可知本句为完成时态。marry 是一个短暂性动词,不可写成 has married 而要用 has been married表状态。19.had come。考查固定句型。It is/was the序数词timethat sb.has/had done sth.某人第几次做某事。句中是 It was,所以后面句子要用过去完成时态。
