2020-2021年一般过去时讲解及练习

一、单项选择一般过去时

1．The old woman who ________ in the deserted house alone for ten years has been settled in a nursing home now. A．lived C．had lived 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】

考查时态。句意： 一个人住在废弃的房子里达十年之久的那位老妇人现在在养老院定居。因为住在废弃的房子里发生在过去，与现在无关，应该用一般过去时。故选A。B. 现在完成时，表示现在还一个人，与语境不符； C. had lived过去完成时，是过去的过去，没有对比的时间；D. has been living现在完成进行时，强调动作一直在进行，一直到现在，不合语境。故选A。

B．has lived D．has been living

2．—That must have been a hard project? —Yeah, it _____ us a whole year to finish the work. A．took B．has taken C．takes D．was taking 【答案】A

【解析】考查时态。That must have been ……是对过去情况的判断，所以 it ___us a whole week to get there. 是在陈述过去的一个事件，要用过去时。句意：那一定是很长的旅程。--是的，我们花了一周才到。选A。 【名师点睛】

时态题的考查关键是抓住句子的上下文含义和句中的时间状语。要根据时间状语来选择合适的时态，在平时的学习中要注意积累有关时态的用法和各种时态的特殊之处。这句话的解题关键是That must have been a long trip.说明是对过去事情的推测。

3．This summer holiday, many foreign students _______ to China for a holiday. A．come B．have come C．had come D．came 【答案】D

【解析】考查动词时态。句意：今年夏天，许多外国学生来中国度暑假。表示过去时间发生的事，此处是陈述事实，用一般过去时。故选D。

4．—Mary will not attend the party tonight. —But she she would! A．has promised B．promised C．will promise D．promises

【答案】B

【解析】考查动词的时态。——玛丽今晚不参加聚会。——但是她许诺她将会来。根据上文Mary will not attend the party tonight.可知，“promise”这一动作发生在过去，主语she与promise是主动关系。故选B。

5．Mary cleverly met the customer’s requirements that you ___________ to deal with, so she won the competition. A．failed B．fail C．may fail D．must fail 【答案】A 【解析】

考查动词时态。句意：玛丽巧妙地满足了你没能应付的客户的要求，所以她赢得了比赛。根据句意可知句子用一般过去时态，故答案为A。

6．Only after talking to two students__________that having strong motivation is one of the biggest factors in reaching goals. A．I did discover C．I discovered 【答案】B 【解析】

试题分析：考查倒装句。Only位于句首强调状语时，主句要用部分倒装，句型为：only+状语+be/助动词/情态动词+主语。故选B。 【知识归纳】

在句首的only如果后面跟了副词、介词短语或从句等状语,则主句用部分倒装结构。如only后跟的是状语从句或only修饰主语，则不用倒装结构。

例如：Only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get back to work. Only the teachers are allowed to use the room.

注意only then,是“过一小会儿”的意思，一般用在句首，引导倒装句。 例句：Only then did he realize the importance of English． 考点：考查倒装句

B．did I discover D．discovered I

7．—Hello, I have heard you are on holiday.

—That’s not the case. Actually I ______ from my holiday in Athens, where I ______ for a fortnight. A．returned; stayed B．have returned; stayed C．will return; stay D．am to return; stay 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】

考查时态。句意：—你好，我听说你在度假。—不是这样的，我已经从雅典度假回来了，我在那里待了两个星期。根据句意可知，我已经回来，所以用现在完成时have returned。根据语境，stay这个动作已经结束，表示过去发生的动作，所以第二空用一般过去时。故B选项正确。

8．---- Have you ever been to Provence which is home to lavender(薰衣草) in Paris? ---- Yes, only once. I ________ there for a week.

A．had stayed B．were staying C．have stayed D．stayed 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】

考查时态。句意：—你去过巴黎薰衣草的故乡普罗旺斯吗?—是的,只有一次。我在那里呆了一个星期。此处是指过去发生的一件事，与现在无关，所以用一般过去时态，故答案为D。

9．I would have attended Jacky Cheung's live music concert had it been possible, but I ______ so busy at that time. A．had been B．were C．would be D．was 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】

考查时态。句意：如果可能的话，我会参加张学友的现场音乐会，但那时我很忙。前句是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，所以判断是陈述的过去的事情，故用一般过去时。故选D。
