（英语）英语一般过去时提高训练

一、初中英语一般过去时

1．Jake _____his key in the office so he had to wait until his wife _______ home.

A. has forgotten … comes

B. forgot… come

C. had left… came

D. had left…would come

【答案】 C

【解析】【分析】句意：杰克把他的钥匙丢在办公室了，因此他不得不等到他的妻子回家。结合语境可知前文描述的是过去某时前已经完成的动作，故用过去完成时态。下文指的是过去某时的动作，故用一般过去时态。选C。

【点评】英语中的时态主要是借助于时间状语与上下文语境来进行判断。解答此类题型，首先要注意句子中的时间状语，如果没有则要通过分析上下文，结合语境来判断句子的时态。

2．—Linda is not coming for the party tonight.

—But she _.

A. promises

B. promised

C. will promise

D. had promised

【答案】 B

【解析】【分析】句意：——琳达今晚不会来聚会。——但是她答应了啊。根据前一句可知“她答应”发生在说话之前，故用一般过去时，因此选B。

【点评】考查动词的时态。

3．The traffic was heavy this morning, but Dad________ to get to the office on time.

A. manages

B. managed

C. would manage

D. will manage

【答案】 B

【解析】【分析】句意：今天早上交通非常繁忙，但爸爸设法按时赶到了办公室。根据The traffic was heavy this morning.可知，本句时态为一般过去时，动词“设法”manage的过去式为managed。故选B。

【点评】考查一般过去时，注意判断句子的时态，选择正确答案。

4．— Are you a basketball player in your school ?

— Yes. I ______________ the team 3 years ago. I ______________ in it for 3 years.

A. joined; was

B. was joined; am

C. have joined; have been

D. joined; have been 【答案】 D

【解析】【分析】句意：——你是你们学校的篮球运动员吗？——是的，三年前我加入了这个团队，我在里面呆了3年。3 years ago是一般过去时的标志，join和主语 I 之间是主动关系，且for 3 years是时间段，是现在完成时标志，故用持续性动词，have been in表示持续，故选D。

【点评】考查时态，注意现在完成时的持续性动词的用法。

5．I was walking in the street when someone _______ me.

A. called

B. was calling

C. calls

D. call

【答案】 A

【解析】【分析】句意：我正在街上走这时有人叫我。状语从句中前后时态要保持一致，根据主句中的was walking可知此处用过去的时态，排除CD；此处call表示短暂性动作，所以不用进行时态，故答案为A。

【点评】考查动词的时态，注意时态的前后一致。

6．He_____ his English teacher when he was sightseeing in Paris.

A. has met

B. had met

C. met

D. would meet

【答案】 C

【解析】【分析】句意：他在巴黎观光时遇到了他的英语老师。由题干中的语句when he was sightseeing in Paris.提示可知此句要用一般过去时。meet，遇到，动词；其过去式是met，故选C。

【点评】考查一般过去时的基本用法。注意不规则动词的过去式的书写。

7．—Sorry, I your dictionary yesterday.

—It doesn't matter.

A. took; by hand

B. took; by mistake

C. got; by accident

D. brought; in this way

【答案】 B

【解析】【分析】句意：——抱歉，昨天我由于差错拿走了你的字典。——没关系。yesterday昨天，和一般过去时连用，take：带走，bring：带来，get：得到，by mistake：由于差错，by hand：手工，in this way：以这种方式，根据句意可知答案，故选B。

【点评】考查动词的时态，辨析和短语。根据语境判断句意，选出恰当的选项。

8．—Great changes have taken place in our hometown over the past years.

—Yeah. Things ______different when we were young.

A. have been

B. are

C. will be

D. were
