答案与解析
1~5 BBCBC 6~10 AAAAD
1.B 考查动词时态。句意:当时我在城外,所以我没法确切知道它是如何发生的。由前句提示可知,动作发生在过去,故选一般过去时。
2.B
3.C 句意为:随着生活节奏的继续加快,我们正迅速失去享受生活的乐趣。as和with都可表示“随着”,但with是介词,后不接从句。
4.B 后句句意为:没有,当我到那儿时,他已经离开了。到那儿用过去时,已离开为过去的过去,故主句要用过去完成时。
5.C
6.A
7.A 句意为:直到学生不再说话了,这位老师才开始上课。考查not…until结构,意为“直到……才”。
8.A 考查hardly…when…结构,排除B、D;hardly为否定副词,位于句首时后面的句子用部分倒装。
9.A 考查状语从句的连接词。句意:你最好趁早解决这个难题。before在……之前,符合句意。
10.D 考查时态。由句意可知汤姆上周结婚,而费用比原先计划的要多。结婚发生在上周,而计划婚礼费用应在此前完成,故用过去完成时。
1. hadn’t told 2.moved;had lived 3.had gone 4.was;had already learned 5.had copied 6.made

II.1.A。答语句意:是的,趁现在车还能跑,我应该把它卖掉。while引导时间状语从句,意为“当……时;趁……”;after意为“在……之后”;until意为“直到……”,要求主句的谓语动词必须是延续性动词; before意为“在……之前”。只有A项符合题意,故选择A项。
2.D。句意:当她还是个孩子的时候,她有一头金黄色的头发,但是,随着年龄的增长,她的头发越来越黑了。while意为“当……时候;趁……”;when意为“当……时候;这时”;after意为“在……之后”;as意为“当……时候;随着”。只有D项符合题意,故选择D项。
3.B。句意:昨天晚上他到家的时候还不到八点钟。根据句意可知,该题考查时间状语从句,而不是强调句型,故排除C项;before意为“在……之前”;when意为“当……时”,从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的,也可以是瞬间性的;while意为“当……时”,从句的谓语动词必须是延续性的。故B项正确。
4.C。句意:随着时间的流逝,他的音乐越来越受欢迎了。as用作连词引导时间状语从句,有“随着”之意;若用介词with,则应是With time going by,故C项正确。
5.A。when引导时间状语从句时,从句中的谓语动词可以是延续性的,也可以是瞬间性的;而while引导时间状语从句时,从句中的谓语动词只能是延续性的,由went into可知,B项不符合,故A项正确。6.B。根据时间状语by the end of last month可知,句子的谓语动词应用过去完成时。
7.D。从语境可知,以前读过一本杂志是发生在昨天之前的事,故用过去完成时。
8.B。It + be the first/second…time that…是固定句型,意为“这是某人第一次/第二次……做某事”。be的形式是is时,that从句的谓语动词用现在完成时态,当be的形式是was时,that从句的谓语动词用过去完成时,故B项正确。
9.A。no sooner…than是固定句型,意为“一……就;刚……就”,当含否定意义的no sooner位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装;由语境可知,go这一动作发生在happened这一动作之前,故A项正确。
