一、单项选择过去完成时

1．By the time my mother came back from work, my sister and I ________ supper and were waiting for her at the table.

A．have cooked B．were cooking C．had cooked D．would cook

【答案】C

【解析】

在英文中用by the time构成的从句修饰主句，主句通常用过去完成时，结构为had+过去分词，故本题选C。

2．_______ could be judged from her eyes that she was terribly sorry for what she ________. A．As; had done B．That; did C．As; did D．It; had done

【答案】D

【解析】

本题句意“从她的眼神可以判断，她为她所做的感到非常抱歉”。此句中的that引导的从句是真正的主语，而it作形式主语。她感到抱歉是过去时，而所做的在抱歉之前已发生，故用过去完成时。

3．Sally was excited to meet Susan at the party last night．They _____ each other since they graduated from Oxford University in 2010．

A．haven’t seen B．hadn’t seen

C．didn’t see D．don’t see

【答案】B

【解析】

since,自从。。。以后。上句的表语是感到激动（“was excited”），这个状态发生在昨晚（“last night”），也就是过去。因此他们还没彼此见面（“They hadn’t seen each other”），这个动作发生在昨晚以前，也就是过去的过去。用过去完成时

4．Father ________ for London on business upon my arrival, so I didn’t see him.

A．has left B．left C．had left D．was leaving

【答案】C

【解析】

分析句子，由于后半句用的是一般过去式，故根据意思可知前半句的事是发生在后半句之前，故用过去完成时，故选C。句意：父亲在我回来之前已经去出差了，所以我没有见到他。

5．It was not until 3 days later that the boy came back to life and explained to the police

what_______ to him.

A．was happening B．was to happen C．had happened D．has happened

【答案】C

【解析】

考查时态。句意为：两个星期后，那个男孩才苏醒过来，向警方解释到底发生了什么事。happen发生在explain之前，是“过去的过去”，用过去完成时。

6．—The battery in my cell phone is running low.

—I that last night before we went to bed.

A．was noticing B．have noticed C．would notice D．had noticed

【答案】D

【解析】

本题考查时态。根据“我昨晚注意到”是在“我们上床睡觉”之前，故用过去的完成时had noticed，选D .

7．-----What were you up to when she dropped in?

------I______ for a while and _____ some reading.

A．had played ; did B．played; did

C．had played :was going to do D．was playing; was going to do

【答案】C

【解析】

考查时态。由第一句可判断出第二句描述的事情发生在过去，for a while是相对于when she dropped in来说的when she dropped in，“我已经玩一会儿了”，因此该用过去完成时态．再看后一个动作，承接前面for a while，仍然在过去，had played for a while之后，因此应用过去将来时，表示过去那个时间将要发生的动作，故选C。

8．I arrived late and missed the flight. I ____ the traffic to be so heavy.

A．hadn’t expected B．haven’t e xpected

C．wouldn’t expect D．was expected

A．did she sit, heard B．did she sit, had heard

C．had she sat, had heard D．had she sat, heard
