D 自然规律用一般现在时态。 3.B “Things never stay
44、 the same.“表明世界是运动的。所以应该说“世界在变“ 。用进行时。4.D 语境表明是“曾经去过“ ,ever 是“曾经“ 的意思。 5.A “10 minutes ago“决定用一般过去时。 6. 依上下文选用一般过去时态。 7.D yet 一般多与完成时态连用。 8.B for 引导表示一段时间的状语一般同完成时态连用,had 这里是“ 买“的意思,不用have bought,是因为 buy 是短暂动词,不同完成时态连用。 9.A be angry with 意思是“ 同-生气“;含条件状语从句的复合句中,主句是将来时,从句一般用现在时。 10.A “Listen!“表明动作正在进
45、行。 11.B the day before yesterday 是一般过去时态的标志。 12.A 副词 before 一般与完成时态连用。 13. A 含时间状语从句的复合句中,主句是将来时,从句用现在时。 14. D has gone 用于指“去某地了“(现在不在说话的地方)。 15.

46、A、B、D 三个用作谓语的动词不能用在这里。“taken“这里是“过去分词“ ,连同后面的词,一起作 “Some photos“的定语。 19.C 主语是“A talk“决定了动词用被动语态,next week 决定了要用将来时态。 20. A 主语是 work, 又依语言环境用现在时。 21.A.奥运会作主语应用被动语态,叙述一般事实要用一般现在时。 22 D 从后一分句 They hope to finish it next month 可知,电影院此刻正在建设中。故应选D。 23 B 句中有“by the end of+过去时间”结构,句子的谓语动词一般用过去完成时态。句子的主语是物,故应用被动语态。其正确答案为 B。 24 D 分析句子结构可知,本句的主语承受谓语动词所表示的动作,故本句应用被动语态。应选 D。 25A 谈话涉及的是过去的情况,故使用一般过去时。 treatas意为“把当作”。
