高考英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法：一般過(guò)去時(shí)用法易錯(cuò)

請(qǐng)看下面的題目：
    “Your phone number again? I _________ quite catch it.” “It’s 4331577”
    A. didn’t
    B. couldn’t
    C. don’t
    D. can’t
    【分析】此題容易誤選C，認(rèn)為此處要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，表示現(xiàn)在“沒(méi)聽清對(duì)方的話”。
    其實(shí)，此題答案應(yīng)選A，根據(jù)上文的語(yǔ)境“請(qǐng)把你的電話號(hào)碼再說(shuō)一遍好嗎?”可知“沒(méi)聽清對(duì)方的電話號(hào)碼”應(yīng)是在說(shuō)此話以前，故應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)。請(qǐng)看以下類似試題：
    (1) “Mr Smith isn’t coming tonight.” “ But he _________.”
    A. promises
    B. promised
    C. will promise
    D. had promised
    答案選B，“他答應(yīng)(要來(lái))”應(yīng)發(fā)生在過(guò)去。
    (2) “Hey, look where you are going!” “Oh, I’m terribly sorry. _________.”
    A. I’m not noticing
    B. I wasn’t noticing
    C. I haven’t noticed
    D. I don’t notice
    答案選B，“我沒(méi)注意”是對(duì)方提醒之前的事，現(xiàn)經(jīng)對(duì)方一提醒，當(dāng)然注意到了。
    (3) “Oh it’s you ! I _________ you.” “I’ve had my hair cut.”
    A. didn’t realize
    B. haven’t realized
    C. didn’t recognize
    D. don’t recognized
    答案選C?！皼](méi)認(rèn)出是你”是說(shuō)此話之前的事，說(shuō)此話時(shí)顯然已經(jīng)認(rèn)出了對(duì)方。
    (4) “What’s her new telephone number?” “Oh, I _________.”
    A. forget
    B. forgot
    C. had forgotten
    D. am forgetting
    此題應(yīng)選A，從語(yǔ)境上看，“忘記”的時(shí)間應(yīng)是現(xiàn)在，即指現(xiàn)在不記得了。
    (5) “Since you’ve agreed to go, why aren’t you getting ready?” “But I _________ that you would have me start at once.”
    A. don’t realize
    B. didn’t realize
    C. hadn’t realized
    D. haven’t realized
    答案選B?！皼](méi)意識(shí)到”是對(duì)方提醒之前的事。
    (6) “It’s twelve o’clock, I think I must be off now.” “Oh, really? I _________ it at all.”
    A. don’t realize
    B. haven’t realized
    C. didn’t realize
    D. hadn’t realized
    答案選C。“沒(méi)意識(shí)到”是在聽到的話之前的事。
