第一讲动词的时态和语态
一 般 体
[全析考法]
Ⅰ.单句语法填空
1. (2018·全国卷Ⅱ)The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005 - when the government ________ (start) a soiltesting program that gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons.
解析:started 根据破折号前的内容可知,此处说的是2005年发生的事情,应用一般过去时。
2.(2017·全国卷Ⅱ)Later, engineers ________ (manage) to construct railways in a system of deep tunnels (隧道), which became known as the Tube.
解析:managed 由语境可知,此处讲的是发生在过去的事情,所以用一般过去时,主语engineers和manage之间是主动关系,故填managed。
3.(2017·全国卷Ⅲ)Sarah says, "My dad thinks I should take the offer now. But at the moment, school ________ (come) first."
解析:comes 此句是直接引语,陈述客观事实,根据前面句子的谓语可知,动词come应该使用一般现在时。
4.(2017·6月浙江高考)Pahlsson and her husband _______ (search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing.
解析:searched but后面的"turned up nothing"使用了过去时,search是与之并列的谓语动词,根据语境可知,此处描述的是过去发生的行为,故要用一般过去时。
