文档介绍：中考英语时态答题易错点归纳
易错点一、忽略题干的语境
通过对近几年中考英语时态考题的分析,我们发现中考英语的时态考题特别注重利用题干本身所提供的语境进行考查。如果同学们在做题时,只顾理解填空处的句意,而忽略对上下文语境的连贯理解,则可能步入命题人设计的陷阱。如:
1. I was giving a talk to a large group of people, the same talk I _______ to half a dozen other groups.
A. was giving   B. am giving C. had given    D. have given
【解析】许多同学可能会简单地根据前面的was giving而误选A。但事实上,此题提供的语境是:我当时正在给一群人作报告,这个报告我曾给其他若干批人讲过。由于was giving为过去进行时,而“曾给其他若干批人讲过”显然发生在was giving这一过去时间之前,故用过去完成时,即答案选C。
2. Father _____ for London on business upon my arrival, so I didn’t see him. A. has left  B. left   C. was leaving   D. had left
【解析】若单独看Father _____ for London on business upon my arrival这一句,则答案选C或D均可。但是,若结合后面的so I didn’t see him,则答案只能选D。因为,既然“我没有见到他”用了过去时态,那么“父亲离开”就肯定属于“过去的过去”,故要用过去完成时。
易错点二、滥用时态呼应
英语时态在许多情况都是前后呼应的,即上文所用的某种时态与下文所用的某种时态存在一定的关联性。正确地运用时态呼应本来也是一种做时态题的技巧,但是,如果不加理解地滥用它,则会适得其反。如:
1. I _______ in London for many years, but I’ve never regretted my final decision to move back to China.
A. lived   B. was living C. have lived       D. had lived
【解析】许多同学一看到后面的have never regretted为现在完成时,同时选项C也是现在完成时,结果滥用时态呼应,将答案误选C。其实,此题的最佳答案是A。句中but后的句子告诉我们,说话者现在已搬回了上海,所以他住在伦敦应属于过去的事情,故应用一般过去时。
2. He was hoping to go abroad but his parents _______ that they won’t support him unless he can borrow money from the bank. (2005湖北卷)
A. were deciding   B. have decided     C. decided    D. will decide
【解析】有的同学一看到句中的was hoping,便想当然地认为答案是A或C。其
实,
