1. (2014·高考重庆卷)You’d better write down her phone number before you ________ it.
A.forget B.are forgetting
C.forgot D.will forget
解析:选A。考查动词时态。句意:趁着还没有忘记,你最好把她的电话号码写下来。before本意是“在……之前”,在句中引导时间状语从句,根据具体的语境在句中可译为“趁着……,以免……”,从句中用一般现在时态表示将来的动作。根据语境可知forget为将来的动作,故此处用一般现在时表示将来。
2.(2014·高考山东卷)They made up their mind that they ________ a new house once Larry changed jobs.
A.bought B.would buy
C.have bought D.had bought
解析:选B。考查动词时态。从句“一旦Larry换了工作他们就买新房子”在主句“他们下定决心”之后。根据“主过从过”原则,主句用一般过去时,故从句用过去将来时。
3. (2014·高考北京卷)—What time is it?

A.check B.checked
C.will check D.would check
