A. will be kept B. will keep C. had kept D. had been kept

【解析】注意做题的切入点在于要理解上文意为“你的工作将给保留着，等着你的归来”，是一种承诺，首先考虑应用被动语态，排除B和C项;其次“承诺”的是将来的事情，故可排除D项。答案只有A。

⑦ Since I won the big prize, my telephone hasn’t stopped ringing. People _______ to ask how I am going to spend the money. 【2005年湖南卷】

A. phone B. will phone C. were phoning D. are phoning

【解析】根据上文“hasn’t stopped ringing”这一事实来看，“phone to ask”应该是这一阶段正在发生的事情，这一时态应用现在进行时态来表示。答案D。

⑧ —Where did you put the car keys?

—Oh, I ____ I put them on the chair because the phone rang as I ____ in. 【2006年北京卷】

A. remembered; come B. remembered; was coming

C. remember; come D. remember; was coming

【解析】下文的交待应该是我“现在”所记得的事情，故第一空应用现在时态，排除A和B项;第二空用在as引起的时间状语从句中，应和“rang”保持一致，故可排除C项。答案D。

二、考查主从句中时态的呼应

除表示客观真理外，宾语从句、时间状语从句和条件状语从句等应当与主句的时态保持一致，即主句现在时或将来时，宾语从句用所需要的时态，时间和条件状语从句表示将来的动作时要用现在时态。主句过去时，从句要用相应的过去时态。另外，主语从句、定语从句和并列句有时要根据语境的需要与主句保持一定的呼应关系。如：

【考例】

①The house could fall down soon if no one ____ some quick repair work. 【2004年全国卷Ⅳ】

A. has done B. is doing C. does D. had done

【解析】注意主句中的“could”不是过去时态，而是表示猜测的情态动词，视为现在时态，if引起的条件状语从句应用现在时态，应排除D项。A项表示“已经做好”，B项表示“正在做”，C项表示“(去)做”，最佳答案C。2005年全国卷I第28题与此题类似。

②I think it is necessary for my 19-year-old son to have his own mobile phone, for I sometimes want to make sure if he ____ home for dinner. 【2006年辽宁卷】

A. come B. comes C. has come D. will come

【解析】此题同学们容易错选B，以为if从句表示条件。同例①不同的是，if从句在此为一宾语从句，主句中“want to make sure”为现在时态，宾语从句可用所需要的任何时态，句意所要表达的是“确信他是否打算回家吃饭”这一信息，故D为正确答案。

③The moment the 28th Olympic Games ____ open, the whole world cheered. 【2006年福建卷】

A. declared B. have been declared C. have declared D. were declared

【解析】注意the moment相当于“as soon as”引导一个时间状语从句，主句中为过去时态，因此时间状语从句中不会用现在时态，排除B和C项。从句中主谓为被动关系，答案只有D。

④It is said in the book that Thomas Edison (1847--1931) ____ the world leading inventor for sixty years. 【2004年辽宁卷】

A. would be B. has been C. had been D. was

【解析】主句为现在时态，主语从句中有具体的时间状语“for sixty years”，又提供了Edison的生卒年代(1847--1931)，只能选用一般过去时态。答案D。

⑤In a room above the store, where a party ____, some workers were busily setting the table. 【2006年湖南卷】

A. was to be held B. has been held C. will be held D. is being held

【解析】主语从句和定语从句的时态与主句的时态不一定非要保持一致，但有时需要一定的呼应。题干中整个语境置于过去时态，陈述的是一个过去所发生的事情(与现在无关)，因此，定语从句所表达的事情也只能是相对于“setting the table”而言的。正确答案应选A。

⑥Months ago we sailed ten thousand miles across this open sea, which _____the Pacific, and we met no storms. 【2005年辽宁卷】

A. was called B. is called C. had been called D. has been called

【解析】含空的句子为一定语从句，表达的是一个客观事实，故只能用一般现在时态，答案B。

⑦My cousin went to Canada two years ago. He ____ there for a few months and then went to America.【2006年江西卷】

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

【解析】注意题干中的所表达的三个动作已经发生，有顺承的先后关系，这种情况下该动词应与其他两个谓语动词的形式保持一致。答案A。

⑧　—What were you doing when Tony phoned you?

—I had just finished my work and ____ to take a shower. 【2004年天津卷】

A. had started B. started C. have started D. was starting

【解析】本题特别刁钻，考生会一不小心选A。虽然也有顺承关系，但后一动作不一定已经发生，此处表示的是“正即将开始”，答案为D。

三、考查被动语态

主语为动作的接受者时，谓语应该使用被动语态。命题人惯常的作法是将被动语态与时态结合在一起进行考查，但有时也伴随有其他意图。如：

【考例】

①More patients ____ in hospital this year than last year. 【2004年江苏卷】

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

【解析】主语“patients”与动词“treat”为被动关系，可排除A项和B项。命题人兼顾对时态进行了考查。该谓语动词的时态应是“this year”而非“last year”，所以正确答案为D。
