初中英语语法 时态专项练习（1）答案详解
1. B. when 引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，when 指20世纪90年代初，当然用一般过去时。
2. A. 这是“祈使句+and +陈述句”句型，祈使句相当于一个条件状语从句，and 后的陈述句的谓
语用一般将来时，这是一个较为固定的句型。
3. D. 因为 Jane 已经度假去了，“离开”此地就当然是在此之前的过去某个时间了，所以用一般过
去时，选 D。另外，when 通常都不与完成时连用，排除 B 和 C，A 也与语境不符。
4. D. 过去进行时在此表示过去准备要做的事。句意为：(Tony 给我打电话时)我刚好做完工作，
准备去冲凉。
5. A. 由 now 可知前句的意思是：我曾经叫你不要搬动我的词典的 (你偏不听)。“叫”是在过去
发生的动作，用一般过去时。
6. C. 根据句意“我不知道 Sam 现在是否已经做完了作业，(但是我知道)他今天早上一直在做作
业”，可知要用过去进行时。
7. B. 由 What’s=What is 可知，现在在出声音；进而知道“邻居们正在为一个晚会作准备”，所以
用现在进行时态。再说，已经准备好了或者将作准备，我们不可能听得到声音，问句也就不成立了，
排除 A 和 D。
8. B. 根据 but she hasn’t decided yet (尚未决定) 可知，从开始失业时起一直在考虑再去上学，现
在还在考虑。表示从过去某一时刻开始一直到现在，并且现在依然在发生的动作，用现在完成进行
时，现在完成进行时由“have/has been doing”构成，所以选 B。
9. A. 由 when the earthquake struck 可知，要用一般过去时，排除 C 和 D；又因为主语是单数 the
teacher，所以只有 A 正确。
10. D. 由 when…was brought in 可知，come 也是过去发生的事，用一般过去时。句意是：当引
入一个有趣的话题时，那场讨论又变得活跃起来。
11. C. 由 all the T-shirts are sold at half price 可知，这家商店还没有关闭，但准备将要关闭，所以
选 C，用现在进行时表示最近的打算。
12. A. “祈使句+or+陈述句”句型中，陈述句的谓语用“will+动词原形”，几乎是固定的。句意是：
让我们扣住主题吧，否则，我们就作不了决定。
13. D. 因为 was saying 表明“他说”发生在过去，“没听到”应该是“他说”的时候没听到，所以 miss
也是发生在过去，而 miss 作“未听见、未理解”解时，一般没有进行时，因此，只有 D 正确。句意是：
我的注意力当时并没有集中在他所说的内容上，所以恐怕有一半我都没听到。
14. D. 根据括号内的1847—1931可知，此处应填过去时态；另外，由于没有另一个过去的时间
或动作与之比较，故不能用过去完成时，即只能选 D。
15. A. 句意是：(你来我家时) 我正在机场等候一位从 England 来的朋友。表示在过去某一时刻
或在过去某一段时间内正在发生的事，用过去进行时，所以选 A。— 4 —

初中英语语法 时态专项练习（
2）答案详解
1. A. 因为 that is 意为“换句话说，即 (=in other words, which means)”，而前句中的谓语 has set
是现在完成时，后一句的谓语动词也应用现在完成时，排除 C 和 D；又因主语 the sales 是复数，选
出正确答案 A。
2. D. 因为由语境可知，see 应当发生在 kept looking 之前，即过去的过去，所以用过去完成时，
只有 D 正确。
3. B. 因为 would wait 是过去将来时，可见此事发生在过去，再结合 for two hours 可知，wait 这
个动作是从过去某一时刻开始一直延续到另一个过去时刻，并且还在等，一直要等到那位影星到来，
所以用过去完成进行时：had been doing，因此选 B。
4. C. 由 came 可知，她已来重庆了，而改变发型是在来重庆之前，即过去的过去，按理要用过
去完成时，但 before 已经表明紧接着发生的先后两个动作，所以也可用一般过去时，所以选 C。
5. C. 句中的 since 为副词，表示“从过去某时起一直到现在”，它通常要与现在完成时连用。
6. D。由句中的 sooner（意为“早点儿”）可知用一般过去时。句意为“对不起，我没有早点儿说。
我确实认为你穿很好看” 。
7. C。her nervousness（紧张）伴随 waited（等）的过程而产生，因此 grow 与 waited 同时发生，
时态一致，都用一般过去时。
8. B。stay 是系动词不能用被动语态，故排除 A；系动词一般不用于进行时(feel 除外)，故排除
C；stay 为非延续性动词，不能与表示一段时间的状语连用，故排除 D。句意为“你为什么不把肉放
在冰箱里呢？那样会保质好几天”。
9. A。根据句中 all day long 来判断，此句是强调播放新闻对现在的影响，故用现在完成时。意
为“你怎么可能没看到新闻？整天都在播放”。
10. C。用过去进行时态表示过去某一特定时刻正在进行的动作。此处是指“我”的话在被打断前
正在谈论的情况。句意为“对不起打断你的话，请继续”。“我说哪儿了？”“你在说你不喜欢你父亲的
工作”。
11. C。由 I arrived late 可知是过去的情况。I haddn’t expected 表示过去没有料到。句意为“我迟
到了。我没料到路面结冰”。
12. C。while 从句用过去进行时，主句用过去时，表示在某个动作的持续过程中，发生过某事。
句意为“我在读英语课本时睡着了。幸亏我的室友及时叫醒了我”。
13. C。句意为“尽管他和我们生活了好多年，但没给我们留下多少印象”。根据前句中的现在完
成时可知，下句是强调的现在的状态，因此用一般现在时。
14. D。“我的乒乓球打得好”是现在具有的技能，故用一般现在时。下句“但自新年以来还一直没
有时间去打”。与前句谓语动词的时态无关。
15. A。由句中的 recently 和 by now 两个提示可知此句用现在完成时。 — 7 —

初中英语语法 时态专项练习（
3）答案详解
1. D. “死”与“写(遗书)”都发生在过去，显然“写”应发生在“死”之前，即：过去的过去。因此，die
用一般过去时，write 用过去完成时。
2. A. 根据后文可知，“她现在依然在工作”，表示从过去某一时刻开始，一直延续到现在，并且
现在仍然在进行的动作或存在的状态，就用现在完成进行时，即：have been doing
3. D. 从 began 是一般过去时可知，go 也用一般过去时，read 应发生在 began to wonder 之前，
所以要用过去完成时。
4. B. 从 wanted 是过去式，可知打电话发生在过去，“我”现在不知道，因为当有人打电话来时，
“我”正在冲凉。表示在过去某一时刻正在发生的动作，当然用过去进行时。
5. C. 从问句中 usually goes to work 来看，是问通常的情况，其回答也应该是指通常的情况，因
此要用一般现在时，即：“如果天气好，他通常是步行上班的”。注意：千万不要认为条件句中的谓
语动词用一般现在时，而主句中的谓语动词就用一般将来时，而错选 A 或 C。
6. D. 意为：“你打电话来时，我可能正在洗淋浴”。指在过去某个时候正在发生的动作，用过去
进行时。
7. A. 句意为：“我在学校学法语期间，经常使用录音机”。指过去经常发生的动作，当然用3一
般过去时。
8. D. 问句是对过去情况猜测，答句 I didn’t 的完整句子是 I didn’t meet him the other day. (几天前
我没有见到他。)
9. B. 从语境来看，显然指将来：“你打算坐哪趟班机？”表示最近打算或安排要做的事，可以用
进行式或“be to do”来表示，因此，可选出 A 和 B，而答案 A 的语序不对，所以只有 B 对(from
www.)。
10. B. 表示刚才想叫你帮忙，就是“我在想你可不可以帮我填这个表格”，所以用过去进行时。
11. C. 因为从 can 和句意可知，是指目前正在发生的事。句意是“如果你 (象现在这样) 不断地
用一些无聊问题来妨碍我，我又怎能集中精力呢？”
12. C. 因为意思是“我当时 (昨天) 怎么知道呢？”。
13. B. 因为在时间状语从句中要用一般现在时代替一般将来时；若强调从句动作发生在主句动
作之前时，用现在完成时代替将来完成时，本题属后一种情况。
14. D. 从上文可知，已经将 coffee 溅在地毯上了，spilt 已经在过去发生了，所以用一般过去时，
wasn’t。
15. B. 因为 these years 是包括现在在内的，通常与现在完成时连用。— 10 —

初中英语语法 时态专项练习（
7）答案详解
1. C。第一空填 look, 因为这是祈使句的谓语；第二空填 had，因为前一句说“看看时间吧”，这
一看当然知道了现在很迟的情形，“不知道这么迟了”显然应是“过去”的事，故应用一般过去时态。
2. A。从语境上看，“忘记”的时间应是现在，即指现在不记得了。
3. B。其中的 did 为强调用法。
4. B。从语境上看，develop 不仅要用被动语态，而且要用进行时态。
5. A。从下文的语境看，既然现在叫对方重复一遍，说明“没听清对方的最后一点”应发生在过去

7. C。表示目前的一种状态。
8. B，注意下文语境：事实上，我昨天就做完了。从该回答的语气上推测，填空处应填现在完成
时态。
9. D。第一个 when 引导的是主语从句，用一般将来时表示将来；第二个 when 引导的是时间
状语从句，用一般现在时表示将来。
10. C。因为 date from 的意思是“自某时起存在至今”(＝have existed since)，它通常用于一般现
在时，而不用过去时态(尽管其后接的总是表示过去的时间)，除非所谈论的东西现在已不复存在，如：
The church, which dated from the 13th century, was destroyed in an earthquake two years ago (那座教堂
是13世纪建成的，两年前在一次地震中被毁了)。(注：与 date from 同义的 date back to 也有类似用
法。)
11. A。前一句谓语用 had hoped，表示的是过去未曾实现的想法或打算，可以译为“本想”，而后
一句说“我太忙”，这是陈述过去的一个事实，所以要用一般过去时。
12. B。用现在完成时表示结果，即你已经错过了机会，其结果是：你只能等。
13. B。用现在完成时表示影响或结果，即现在笔不见了，是由于某人已经把它拿走了的结果。
14. B，用现在完成时表示从过去持续到现在的一段时间。
15. C，用现在完成时表示影响或结果，即他整个星期都在国外，所以你说你在剧院见过他，你
一定是搞错了。

17. A。由 now 和 for a long time 可知“很长时间都没有像现在这样下雨这么多”，用现在完成时。
18. A。由 no 是对前句的否定可知现在不在部队服役，是以前“服过役”，故用一般过去时。
19. B。从语境看“忘记”应为过去；“放学后自己去记”是临时的决定，不能用表示计划或打算的— 23 —
be going to。
20. D。从“我们只谈了几句话”可知，当我们去拜访时，Professor Smith“正要”离开了，D 是过去
进行时表示过去将来时。
21. C。由“我正要去洗澡”可知昨天你打电话时“我刚刚画完”，“画完”在“打电话前”之前，即过
去的过去，故用过去完成时。
22. B。always 有时可与进行时态连用，但含有某些感彩，如报怨、厌恶、赞美等。此句表
示的是报怨。
23. D。句意为“我已学电脑几年了，我现在还在学。”am 后省略了 studying。
24. D. 在她 arrived 之前就已离开；即过去的过去，用 had left.
25. B. 语境为：原以为(thought)丢了的（had lost）确在鼻子底下。— 24 —

4. A。从下文的语境看，既然现在叫对方重复一遍，说明“没听清对方的最后一点”应发生在过去
（即说此话之前）。

6. B。before 用作副词时不与具体时间连用，泛指“以前”，通常与一般过去时或现在完成时连用。
7. A。由 no 是对前句的否定可知现在不在部队服役，是以前“服过役”，故用一般过去时。
8. A。have been to…去过某地(已回来)，have gone to…到某地去了(没回来)；又因为问的是 Tom
回来之前到去过某地，故用过去完成时态。
9. D。从“我们只谈了几句话”可知，当我们去拜访时，Professor Smith“正要”离开了，D 是过去
进行时表示过去将来意义。
10. C。上句“我本不该对你那么无礼”是对过去情况的自责，答语“你当时的确很生气”，用一般
过去时，did 在 lose 前表示强调。
11. D。问句是对过去情况的猜测，所以答句用一般过去时。I didn’t 是 I didn’t meet him the other
day 的省略。
12. B。因为在时间状语从句中要用一般现在时代替一般将来时。若强调从句动作发生在主句动
作之前时，用现在完成时代替将来完成时，本题属后一种情况。
13. B。因为 these years 是包括现在在内的，故用现在完成时。
14. D。由于见朋友发生在过去(即昨天)，而很久没有见到朋友自然是昨天的见面之前，即属于
过去的过去，故用过去完成时。

句子前后两部分的时间应一致，即用一般过去时。
16. A。从第一句话 She ought to stop working 可知“他仍然在学习”，故后面用现在完成进行时态。
17. D。受前一句 left 的影响，易误选 B。题干中的 since 说明此处应用现在完成时态。从问句中
也可看出来，此处强调动作对现在的影响，故要用现在完成时的被动式。

表示从过去某一时刻开始一直延续到另一过去时间仍在进行的动作或状态用过去完成进行时。
22. B。该题考查根据语境选用正确时态题。上句说“你为什么没去参加会议”，据此回答“我当时
正在等我姑姑从美国打来的长途电话”，说的是“你们开会时”我正在等一个电话。
23. C。指到目前为止还没有人把这件事通知我。相当于在后面省略了 so far。
24. B。句意：戏剧在我到达之前就已上演了半小时，即表示“过去的过去”，且短暂性动词不与

25. D。从昨天坏了一直到今天来时还没有修好，表示从过去某一时刻开始一直延缓到现在的动
作或状态要作现在完成时态。
