[高考试题]

1. More patients ________ in hospital this year than last year. [江苏]

A. treated B. have treated C. had been treated D. have been treated

5. A。此处用过去进行时表示过去某一时刻正在发生的动作。

[命题思路]

命题人一般会给出具体、鲜活的语境去考查考生运用进行时态的能力,很少会给出像at the moment, at this time last night这样明确的时间状语。命题人一般会以对话的形式来出这类试题。

[指点迷津]

考生做有关进行时态的试题,应该从分析语境入手,确定时态背景。考生要搞清楚时态背景是发生在过去还是现在,再结合进行时态的各种用法去分析。进行时态的基本用法有:(1)某一时刻正在进行的动作;(2)具有未完成性和暂时性的特点;(3)某一时间段所重复发生的事情,不一定是说话时刻正在进行的动作;(4)表示一个听起来比较委婉、客气的请求或建议。

4. D。过去进行时可表示过去正要做某事。题意为:"当托尼给你打电话时,你正在干什么?" "我刚完成工作,正要开始淋浴。"

3. C。现在进行时有时可表示按计划将要发生的事情。此处is closing down = is going to close down。又如:I'm leaving for Beijing tomorrow.

2. B。现在进行时表示现在正在进行的动作。

1. C。进行时态具有未完成性和暂时性的特点,此处表示未完成。可根据语境,尤其是I have no idea. (= I don't know.) 去分析。
