四、一般过去时考点

一般过去时主要表示过去某时发生的情况或动作(包括过去习惯性的动作)。如：

­1. “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湖南卷)

A. is              B. was             C. would be        D. has been

分析：答案选 B。尽管上面一句用的是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，但后面一句谈的却是发生在过去的一件真实情况，故用一般过去时。

2. Scientists think that the continents _____always where they _____ today. (2005北京卷)

A. aren’t; are  B. aren’t; were       C. weren’t; are      D. weren’t; were

分析：答案选 C。句意是：科学家认为各大陆并非一直在它们现在所处的位置。既然过去的位置与现在的位置不同，所以谈论过去情况用一般过去时。

五、现在进行时考点

现在进行时主要表示现在正在进行或发生的情况或动作。如：

1. Listen to the two girls by the window. What language _____? (2005全国卷III)

A. did they speak                                B. were they speaking   

C. are they speaking                           D. have they been speaking

分析：答案选 C。根据Listen to…可知，speak 这一动作正在进行。

2. Since I won the big prize, my telephone hasn’t stopped ringing. People _____ to ask how I am going to spend the money. (2005湖南卷)

A. phone        B. will phone        C. were phoning  D. are phoning

分析：答案选 D。指赢大奖以来近阶段正在发生的事，用现在进行时。

3. “Are you still busy?” “Yes, I _____ my work and it won’t take long.”  (2005浙江卷)

A. just finish                                      B. am just finishing

C. have just finished                           D. am just going to finish

分析：答案选 B。由it won’t take long可知即将做完了，用现在进行时表示即将发生的事；选项D表示“正打算做完”，与句意不符。(from www.nmet168.com)

六、过去进行时考点

过去进行时主要表示过去正在进行或发生的情况或动作。如：

Susan decided not to work on the program at home because she didn’t want her parents to know what she ______. (2005辽宁卷)

A. has done       B. had done       C. was doing      D. is doing

分析：答案选 C。用过去进行时表示过去正在进行的动作。因 decided 和didn’t want 都是过去式，排除选项A和D；因“做”发生在“决定”之后，而不是之前，故不能用过去完成时，排除选项B。
