本期Viviana老师带你走进国际学校加试的“单项选择题”,畅聊国际加试笔试中的常考时态。
单项选择题
单项选择题(四选一)是许多国际学校加试中会采用的题型,如南外本部,金中国际班,南外仙林,雨花国际班,南师附中江宁,金陵河西等,每次笔试均会采用10-20道不等的题目去主要考察学生语法的掌握情况。常见的考点包括时态的区分,特殊句型的掌握情况,定语从句、宾语从句、状语从句等从属句的区分,虚拟语气等。这些题型不仅考查考生对于句子细节的理解和把握,也会检验学生对英语语法的基础有多扎实。
真题再现
Unfortunately, when I dropped in, Doctor Li _____ for Beijing to join in the fight against SARS, so we only had time for a few words.
A. just left
B. has just left
C. is just leaving
D. was just leaving
由选项看出这题涉及到了一般过去时,现在完成时,现在进行时和过去进行时4种时态。由于一般过去时和现在进行时对于在座的来说都是pieces of cake,所以可以轻而易举排除掉这两个错误项。
那么问题来了,不少小伙伴在B和D项中疯狂纠结:到底该选哪个呢?
能量补给
关于过去进行时
1:过去某个时间正在进行的动作
He was watching Happy Camp the whole evening.
2:表示最近刚刚过去的事情(口语)
-- What did you say?
-- I was asking what you thought of it.
关于现在完成时
1:过去的动作影响到现在(动作已完成)
He hasn't come yet.What do you consider has happened to him?
2:过去的动作持续到现在
He has run a mom-and-pop grocery store for 30 years.
总结
相同点:动作都是在过去发生,都可能延续。
不同点:过去进行时强调过去的动作“正在进行”,现在完成时强调动作与“现在”有关。
迷津点播
Unfortunately, when I dropped in, Doctor Li _____ for Beijing to join in the fight against SARS, so we only had time for a few words.
A. just left
B. has just left
C. is just leaving
D. was just leaving
答案:D
解析:题目的意思是“不幸地是,当我顺道走访的时候,李医生正要去北京抗击SARS,所以我们只匆匆讲了几句话。”由此可知,选项的动作应该是过去某一时间正在发生的事情,因此选过去进行时,即D;而B项的现在完成时的两个主要用法放在这题都不合适。
接下来咱们巩固一下类似的题目:
I first met John at my sister’s wedding. He ___________ with the bridegroom at the time.
A. talked
B. was talking
C. had talked
D. had been talking
答案:B
解析:首先题目首句确定时态是过去时。接着第二句有明显的时间状语at the time“在那时”,典型的进行时,故排除A、C;又因为首句是一般过去时,前后句时态保持一致,所以选B。
综上,小伙伴们要牢记常考时态的各个用法,结合具体语境(尤其是前一句或者从句的时态和时间状语等),擅用排除法,选出正确项。更多有关国际学校和国际留学的资讯,可以继续关注新航道南京学校官网。
