1. D。依据“那个小孩子徘徊”这一事实，可推知他已与他的母亲走散了，故用目前完成时表示结果。
2. C。作者句子后面说“目前开始下雨了”，同时作者庆幸“刚刚”没去公园，所用一般过去时。句意为：好在大家（刚刚）没去公园，由于天（目前）已经开始下雨了。
3. D。此处用目前完成进行时表示持续到目前的一段时间。
4. B。用目前完成时表示结果，即你已经错过了机会，其结果是“你只能等了”。
5. B。用目前完成时表示影响或结果，即目前笔不见了，是因为某人已经把它拿走了的结果。
6. A。信息句为一般目前时，依据后句中all day long判断，这显然是强调播放新闻对目前的影响，故选目前完成时。
7. C。“迟到”用的是过去时，“没想到路面结冰”应是过去的过去，故用过去完成时。
8. B。when引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，when指20世纪90年代初，当然用一般过去时。
9. A。这是“祈使句+and +陈述句”句型，祈使句等于一个条件状语从句，and后的陈述句的谓语用一般以后时，这是一个较为固定的句型。
10. D。由于Jane已经度假去了，“离开”此地就当然是在此之前的过去某个时间了，所以用一般过去时，选D。另外，when一般都不与完成时连用，排除B和C；A与语境不符，不可以选。
11. A。由破折号后面的now可知前句的意思是：我过去叫你不要搬动我的词典的。这里的“叫”显然发生在过去的动作，故用一般过去时。
12. B。由What’s=What is可知，目前仍在发出声音，也就是说“邻居们正在为一个晚会作筹备”，故用目前进行时态。
13. A。由句中的when the earthquake struck可知，此题要用一般过去时，排除C和D；又由于主语是单数the teacher，所以只有A正确。
14. A。that is意为“换句话说”，它表明前后两句意思相同。因为前面一句的谓语has set是目前完成时，所将来面一句的谓语动词也应用目前完成时，故排除C和D；又因主语the sales是复数，选出正确答案A。
15. D。由于由语境可知，see应该发生在kept looking之前，即过去的过去，所以用过去完成时，只有D正确。
16. C。由came可知，她已来重庆了，而改变发型是在来重庆之前，即过去的过去，按理要用过去完成时，但before已经表明紧接着发生的先后两个动作，所以也可用一般过去时，所以选C。
17. D。依据句中的entered可知，他上大学是过去的事，而学了5千个英语单词又是在上大学之前，即“过去的过去”，所以用过去完成时。
18. B。因宾语从句中的时态是一般以后时，主句中的谓语动词不可能是过去时态，排除选项A和D；由语境判断，不是“将要决定”，而是“目前已经决定”，所以排除D。
19. B。依据表示对照的years ago和recent可知，大家“以前不了解这一点”，但“目前已经证明了这一点”，所以用目前完成时。
20. C。因decided和didn’t want都是过去式，排除选项A和D；因“做”发生在“决定”之后，而不是之前，不可以用过去完成时，排除选项B。
21. C。由问句和答语I am going…可知，要用以后时态，排除选项A和B；电影的开始和结束是影院在时刻表中已有些计划，用一般目前时表示，表示近期的计划或安排，可用目前现进时表示。
22. B。依据句中的used to可知，空格处应填一般过去时。句意为：大家过去觉得不可能的目前都好像大概成为现实。
23. B。第一空用be going to表示计划或意图，第二空用目前完成时暗示他们应该“先找到新工作，然后再离职”。注：第二空若不需要目前完成时，用一般目前时也可以。
24. D。第一空用一般目前时，指的是“目前”还记得；第二空用过去进行时，指的是当时正在做的事。
25. B。此处用目前进行时表示立刻要发生的状况，如：I’m leaving tomorrow. 我明天走。They’re getting married next month. 他们下个月结婚。
26. C。用于供参照的过去时间为was nervous，与之相比较，hadn’t flown显然是“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。
27. C。很多同学或许会简单地依据前面的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说过。因为was giving为过去进行时，而“曾给其他若干批人说过”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。
28. A。依据句中的were busily setting the table可知，晚会还没举行，由此可排除B和D；比较A和C，A最好，由于已经在摆桌子，说明晚会立刻就要举行了，故用be to do sth结构更适合。
29. D。假如同学们注意到题干中的连词if与选项中的comes和will come，便可猜测到本题是考查考生对句中的if使用方法的理解，若if表示“是不是”，则它所引导的是宾语从句，那样则要用以后时态表示以后意义；若if表示“假如”，则它所引导的是条件状语从句，则要用一般目前时表示以后意义。通读全句，依据句意可以确定if的意思是“是不是”。
30. D。解答此题的重点是要抓住early这一形容词。early European playing-cards的意思是“早期欧洲人玩的扑克牌”，既然是“早期”，一定就是过去的事了，所以用一般过去时。
