2020-2021年英语一般过去时练习
一、单项选择一般过去时
1.The naughty boy _____ quickly, otherwise he would have been caught by the angry headmaster. A.had run away C.should run away 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】
考查一般过去时。 句意:这个淘气的男孩跑得很快,要不然就会被生气的校长抓住。分析语境可知,此句是对过去的虚拟,otherwise相当于If the naughty boy hadn’t run away quickly,已经暗含了条件,所以前面的空格只是对过去发生的事实进行陈述,要用一般过去时。故选B。
B.ran away D.were to run away
2.— You seem to be familiar with the school campus. — I ______ here for three years. It’s great to be back. A.have taught B.taught C.had taught D.teach 【答案】B
【解析】考查时态。句意:——你似乎对这个校园很熟悉。——我在这里教过3年学。回来真是太好了。根据第一句和It’s great to be back.可推知,“在这里教过3年学”是过去发生的事情,现在不教了,故用一般过去时态,答案为B。
3.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。
4.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。
B.did I discover D.discovered I
【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
5.I a letter once a week to my family when I was in my first college year. A.write B.was writing C.have written D.wrote 【答案】D

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。

试题分析:本题考查的是时态。句意:我认识Sarah 近十年了。她曾经是我的一个顾客。根据句意可知,Sarah 曾经是我的一个顾客, 即现在不是了,所以选择C was 一般过去时, 表示过去的事实, A is 表示现在的事实; B has been 过去发生的动作,但是现在仍然是D had been 过去的过去。 考点:考查时态
B.has been D.had been
