25、：我没有要名单，为什么把它放在我的桌子上？我刚刚放的，以备你不时之需。由语境可知，名单是过去放的，现在还在桌上，故用现在完成时。3C考查时态。句意：沿街走路时，我偶然遇到了戴维，我们已有好几年没见了。“没见”表示的动作发生在came across之前，且for years是完成时的标志，所以应选表示过去完成时的hadnt seen。4C现在完成时表示过去某一动作对现在的影响。“正确使用急救措施”是因为被救者“已经中毒”，故用现在完成时。5D本题考查时态。表示从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作，常用现在完成时，若强调动作的持续性，则用现在完成进行时，故选D。6A本题考查时态。句意：直到这个学生做数学
