题目内容
My wife ______the night shift when my plane ______. That’s why no one is to meet me at the airport today.
A.will be working; arrives B.was working; arrived
C.will have worked; has arrived D.is working; is arriving
A
【解析】
试题分析:句意:当我的飞机到时,我的妻子将在值夜班,那就是为什么今天没人接我的原因。根据That’s why no one is to meet me at the airport today.可知,今天接机这事还未发生,when引导的时间状语从句不能用将来时,用一般现在时来代替将来时;当飞机到达时,妻子正在值班,是将来进行时。故选A。
考点:考查动词时态的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。动词时态的考查与一定的语境结合一起增加了试题的难度,有的考生时态的用法背的很熟,但在不同的语境下,就做不对了,提醒考生一定要会分析理解语境。
即学即练:Tell John not to leave the house unless he ______that the lights______.
A.will make sure,turn off
B.makes sure,are turned off
C.will make sure,will turn off
D.makes sure,will be turned off
解析:B。此处unless引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时代替一般将来时,根据句意the lights应已经被关掉。所以选B。
