中考英语动词时态考查热点

纵观历年全国各省市的中考英语试题,笔者发现中考英语对动词时态的考查占有一定的比例｡本文拟结合2006年全国部分省市的中考英语试题,对经常考查的各种动词时态加以归纳和分析,供同学们复习备考时参考｡

一､ 考查一般现在时的用法

考点说明:一般现在时表示经常性或习惯性的动作或现在存在的状态,常以 now, at present 以及 often, sometimes, usually, always, seldom, every day 等表示频度的副词或副词性短语为时态标志;一般现在时也可以表示不受任何时间制约的客观事实或普遍真理｡

典型考例:

1. ―Is your father a doctor?

―Yes, he is. He_______ in Town Hospital.

A. has worked B. had worked

C. works D. worked(武汉市)

答案与简析:题干问句中的 Is 和答句中的 is 均暗示该空中的谓语动词应用一般现在时,又因主语为第三人称单数形式,空白处应填 works,故答案为C｡

2. Every year many foreigners_______ to China to learn Chinese.

A. have come B. comes C. came D. come(陕西省)

答案与简析:题干中的时间状语 Every year 暗示该空的谓语动词应用一般现在时,表示经常性､习惯性的动作,又因主语为可数名词复数,谓语动词应用复数形式与之呼应,故答案为D｡

二､ 考查一般过去时的用法

考点说明:一般过去时可以表示过去某一时间发生的动作或存在的状态,多以 last week, an hour ago, just now, in 1995 等单纯表示过去时间的状语为时态标志;一般过去时也可以表示过去经常性､习惯性的动作或存在的状态,此时句中除了有表示过去时间的状语外,还常有 always, usually, often, seldom, sometimes, never, every day 等表示频度的副词或短语为时态标志｡

典型考例:

1. ―Have you mended your shoes, Bob?

―Yes, I_______ them twenty minutes ago.

A. have mended B. mend

C. had mended D. mended(天津市)

答案与简析:题干应答语中的 twenty minutes ago 为纯粹的过去时间作状语,暗示该空应填谓语动词 mend 的过去式 mended,故答案为D｡

2. ―The office was broken into last night. Someone thinks you did it.

―But I_______ the whole night with my best friend, John.

A. spend B. am spending

C. spent D. had spent(威海市)

答案与简析:题干第一句中的 last night 表示纯粹的过去时间,暗示应答句中的谓语动词应为一般过去时,空白处应填 spent,故答案为C｡

3. ―Where’s the cake I made this morning?

―We_______ it, Mom. Can you make another one for us?

A. ate B. eat

C. will eat D. were eating(江西省)

答案与简析:分析语境可知,蛋糕没有了,而“吃蛋糕”这一动作发生在过去,因此该空应填谓语动词 eat 的过去式 ate,故答案为A｡

4. ―Look! The girl is swimming so fast.

―I_______ she_______ swim.

A. know; can’t B. knew; can’t

C. don’t know; can D. didn’t know; could(无锡市)

答案与简析:题干第二句的意思应为“我不知道她会游泳”,但说这话的时候“我”(刚刚)才知道了这一点,因此主从句的谓语动词均应用一般过去时,故答案为D｡

三､ 考查现在进行时的用法

考点说明:现在进行时可以表示此时此刻或现阶段正在进行的动作,常以 now 为时态标志｡现在进行时还可以与 always 等副词连用,表示反复性､一贯性的动作,含有赞扬或批评的感彩｡

典型考例:

1. ―What’s your brother doing in his room now?

―He_______ a kite.

A. makes B. made C. is making D. will make(北京市)

答案与简析:问句中的时间状语 now 暗示应答句中谓语动词表示的动作“正在进行”,因此空白处应填 is making,故答案为C｡

2. ―Are you a baby-sister here?

―No. I_______ after the baby instead of Ms Green. She is away for shopping.

A. look B. am looking

C. have looked D. looked(威海市 )

答案与简析:分析语境可知,因为看见对方此刻正在照看婴儿,问话人才会询问对方是不是保姆,因此,答句的谓语动词应为现在进行时,该空应填 am looking,故答案为B｡

六､ 考查现在完成时的用法

考点说明:现在完成时可以表示发生在过去的某一动作对现在造成的影响或结果,它常与 already, just， yet， before， ever， never， before 等词连用;现在完成时也可以表示发生在过去的某一动作一直延续到现在, 并且有可能继续延续下去,此时常与“for + 一段时间 ”或“since + 过去时间点/谓语动词为一般过去时的从句”连用｡但在肯定句中谓语动词须用持续性动词｡现在完成时还可以用在“It is the + 序数词 + time + that...”句式中的 that 从句中,表示到现在为止动作已经发生的次数｡

典型考例:

―Yes, and it_______ for no more than a week.

A. has been open B. opens

―No, I won’t. I_______ it already.

A. saw B. have seen

C. see D. will see(南京市)

―For just several minutes.

A. did, begin B. has, begun C. has, been on(哈尔滨市)
