Section A
Directions: Read the following sentences, and choose the best answer to complete the sentence.
1.When shopping, a woman ________ to find an unexpected bargain.
A. is always trying B. will try C. has been trying D. had tried
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:购物时,女人总想找到意想不到的便宜货。此处表示将来的动作,而且主观性较强,含有主观决定的意思,因此用现在进行时表将来,will常用来表示未经事先计划或考虑的行动,故A项正确。
【点睛】注意现在进行时表将来和一般将来时的区别:现在进行时表将来主观性较强,含有主观决定的意思,而对于未经事先计划或考虑的行动常用一般将来时,试比较:
⑴ ——Ann is in hospital. ——Really? I didn’t know, and I will go and visit her.(事先无计划)
⑵ I’m leaving tonight.(含有我决定离开之意)
2.When I wanted to show myself up at the party, the song I ________ so many times suddenly became difficult.
A. am practicing B. had practiced C. will be practicing D. have practiced
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:当我想在晚会上展示自己时,我练习过很多遍的那首歌突然变得很难了。practice这一动作发生在became之前,也就是过去的过去,用过去完成时,故B项正确。
3.All those ________ the pop singing group cheered, applauding as they sang.
A. watched B. was watching C. watching D. to watch
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:所有观看流行歌唱组合的人都欢呼起来,边唱边鼓掌。本句的谓语为cheered,因此此处是非谓语动词,those与watch之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示主动,用现在分词作后置定语,故C项正确。
