题目内容
I ______ in the street when I met an old friend of mine yesterday.
- A.walked
- B.was walking
- C.has walked
- D.had walked
试题分析:前半句是主句,沿街散步这个动作是延续性的动作,因而我们用过去进行时。后半句这个时间状语从句的动作,遇到,是个短暂性动作。因为when I met an old friend of mine yesterday.用的是过去式。故排除C。句意:当我看到我的一个老朋友的时候,我正在沿着街道散步。故选B。
考点:考查动词时态的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。出题的目的在于区分过去完成时、过去进行时和一般过去时的区别,学生对于这里的语境不好理解,往往知道时态的区别,但在具体的语言环境里不好把握。
即学即练:—You haven’t said a word about my new coat,Brenda.Do you like it? —I’m sorry I ________ anything about it sooner.I certainly think it’s pretty on you.
A.wasn’t saying B.don’t say C.won’t say D.didn’t say
解析:D。用过去时表达没能早说之意。
Years after throwing a bottle-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a man’s childhood message was found and returned to his mother.
Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old boy, Joshua Baker, wrote the message, folded and put it in an empty container, his mother, Maggie Holbrook said. He died last February in a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned after a serving in the Middle East as a US marine. “I think he was just letting us know he was OK and keep doing what we are doing.” Holbrook said.
The message surfaced in White Lake in late April, just days after the 11th anniversary of its being thrown into the lake. It was found by one of Baker’s closest friends, Steve Lieder, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when Lieder looked down and saw the bottle. He broke it open and found the note inside.
“My name is Joshua Baker. I am 10. If you find this, put it on the news. The date is 4/16/98.” They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home.
She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why he didn’t put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current.
“I still remember the day he wrote it, ” Holbrook said. “I couldn’t understand why he threw I in the lake. No one would never see it again. Now I know.”
