6.--________David and Vicky ________married?

--For about three years.(2003北京)

A.How long were;being B.How long have;got

C.How long have;been D.How long did;get

答案C 从答语For about three years判断，该题问的是动作持续了多久，用现在完成时，排除A、D选项。get married强调的是结婚这一动作，不能延续，排除B。be married表示已婚的状态，可以延续。

[命题角度]

动词时态须与句中时间状语一致。高考题常在题干中加入具体情景,以测试考生对动词时态知识的实际运用能力。

[应对策略]

敏锐捕捉时间标志词,并结合具体的语境,选择出正确的动词时态。

(二)根据主从句时态呼应的原则选择时态

7.When the old man to walk back to his house, the sun itself behind the mountain. (05湖北)

A.started; had already hidden B.had started; had already hidden

C.had started; was hiding D.was starting; hid

答案：A 此题考查的是时态问题。此题句意为“当老人开始往家走时，太阳已经下山了”。太阳落山的动作发生在开始往家走之前，即从句用一般过去时，主句用过去完成时。故选A。

8.--- What would you do if it tomorrow? (05全国)

--- We have to carry it on , since we’ve got everything ready .

A.rain B.rains C.will rain D.is raining

答案：B 在条件状语从句(if，as long as，even if)、时间状语从句(when，until，before，the moment…)中往往用一般现在时表示将来。

9.They on the program for almost one week before I joined them, and now we it as no good results have come out so far. (05江苏)

A.had been working; are still working B.had worked; were still working

C.have worked; were still working D.have worked; are still working

答案：A 此题考查的是时态问题。从before引导的从句中的过去时态可知主句的时态应为过去完成时。故排除C、D。now一词提示用现在进行时，表示“他们一直工作了一周”，强调动作的连续。故答案为A。

10.As soon as he comes back, I’ll tell him when and see him. (05北京)

A.you will come B.will you come C.you come D.do you come

答案：A本题考查宾语从句的语序和时态。根据宾语从句应使用陈述语序，淘汰B、D 两项，又因为宾语从句come和see发生的时间为将来的动作就直接选用将来时态。只有在状语从句中才可以用一般现在时表示将来的动作，而宾语从句中不可，因此淘汰C。

[命题角度]

近年来的高考试题一般不再单纯考查主从句的时态呼应,而是将其放在真实的并且符合实际的语境中进行考查,也会结合强调结构等其它语法现象进行考查。

[应对策略]

在根据时态呼应原则解题时,要把握好以下几点:

①在时间、条件等状语从句中,用一般现在时态表示一般将来时态,一般过去时态表示过去将来时态,用现在完成时态表示将来完成时态。

② 正确认定主句动词及从句动词两个动作发生的时间,并认真体会命题者所给出的语境。

③ 解答宾语从句与主句时态呼应题时,考生应熟知以下规则: 如果主句动词为现在时态,则从句动词可根据需要使用任何时态; 如果主句动词为过去时态,则从句动词须用合适的过去的某种时态(表示客观真理时使用一般现在时态)。

(三)根据具体的语言环境选择时态

12.The coffee is wonderful! It doesn’t taste like anything I before. (05全国卷II)
