三、考查在状语从句中代替过去将来时

Helen ________ her keys in the office so she had to wait until her husband ________ home. (全国卷)

A. has left; comes                          B. left; had come                       

C. had left; came                        　D. had left; would come

【分析】答案选C。leave应发生在had to wait这个过去动作之前，即“过去的过去”，用过去完成时；come在until引导的时间状语从句中，用一般过去时替代过去将来时。(from www.nmet168.com)

四、考查在语境中表示“我刚才 / 原来还不…”

1. —You haven’t said a word about my new coat, Brenda. Do you like it?

A. wasn’t saying                         　B. don’t say

C. won’t say                         　　  D. didn’t say

【分析】答案选D。指“我刚才没急于说”。

2. —Your phone number again? I ________ quite catch it.

—It’s 9568442. (全国卷)

A. didn’t                                         B. couldn’t

C. don’t                                          D. can’t

【分析】答案选A。指你刚才告诉我时，我没有听清楚。

3. —Come on, Peter. I want to show you something.

—Oh, how nice of you! I ________ you ________ to bring me a gift. (全国卷)

A. never think; are going                    B. never thought; were going

C. didn’t think; were going                 D. hadn’t thought; were going

【分析】答案选B。指看到对方礼物之前，没想到，要用过去时，never thought(从没想到)较didn’t think(原来没想到)更能表达说话人的惊喜；were going to bring是过去进行时表示过去将来时。
