17. I ______ along the street looking for a place to park when the accident ______.

A. went; was occurring                              B. went; occurred     

C. was going; occurred                              D. was going; had occurred

解析：答案選 C。第一空用過去進行時，表示過去正在發(fā)生的情況; 第二空用一般過去時，表示過去突然發(fā)生的一件事。

18. My cousin went to Canada two yours ago. He ______ there for a few months and then went to America.

A. worked                 B. would work          C. would be working D. has been working

解析：答案選 A。注意句中的三個動作：去加拿大→在那兒住了幾年→然后去了美國。由于前后兩個動作用的都是一般過去時，顯然中間的“在那兒住了幾年”應用一般過去時。

19. As the years passed, many occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations — ______ with Dad’s flowers.

A. are marked           B. were marked         C. have marked         D. had marked

解析：答案選 B。由于句中增加了插入成分birthdays, awards, graduations，使得句子的主語與謂語were marked分離，從而增加了考生對句子理解的難度。根據(jù)句意，空格處應填被動語態(tài); 再根據(jù)句中的passed的時態(tài)特點可知，空格處也應用一般過去時，故選B。

20. —Ouch! You hurt me!

—I am sorry. But I ______ any harm. I ______ to drive a rat out.

A. didn’t mean; tried                                  B. don’t mean; am trying

C. haven’t meant; tried                              D. didn’t mean; was trying

解析：答案選 D。對于剛剛發(fā)生的情況，要用一般過去時或過去進行時。答語的意思是：對不起。但我不是有意要弄傷你，我是在把一只老鼠趕出去。

21. I know a little bit about Italy as my wife and I ______ there several years ago.

A. are going              B. had been               C. went                    D. have been

解析：C。根據(jù)句末的several years ago可知，此處應用一般過去時。

22. They ______ two free tickets to Canada, otherwise they’d never have been able to afford to go.(www.yywords.com)

A. had got                 B. got                       C. have got               D. get

解析：答案選 B。句子前半句講的是過去的事實，用一般過去時; 后半句講的是對過去情況的假設，故用了would never have been這樣的形式。

23. The play had already been on for quite some time when we ______ at the New Theatre.

A. have arrived          B. arrived                 C. had arrived           D. arrive

解析：答案選 B。由于句中的had already been用的是過去完成時，而根據(jù)句意，arrive顯然應發(fā)生在其后，故要用一般過去時。全句意為：當我們到達新劇院時，戲已經(jīng)演了好一會兒了。

24. When I called you this morning, nobody answered the phone. Where ______?

A. did you go            B. have you gone       C. were you              D. had you been

解析：C。句子的前半句說上午打電話時沒有人接電話，而后半句問對方當時在什么地方。顯然，句子前后兩部分的時間應一致，即用一般過去時。

25. The hotel wasn’t particularly good. But I ______ in many worse hotels.

A. was staying           B. stayed                   C. would stay            D. had stayed

解析：D。根據(jù)The hotel wasn’t particularly good這一句中的一般過去時可推知stay in many worse hotels要用過去完成時，因為它發(fā)生在wasn’t之前。

26. I called Hnnah many times yesterday evening, but I couldn’t get through. Her brother ______ on the phone all the time!

A. was talking     B. has been talking   C. has talked    D. talked

解析：A。I called…和I couldn’t get through…用的都是一般過去時，而talk on the phone這一動作正是發(fā)生在I couldn’t get through…期間，故要用過去進行時。
