【答案解析】
1. C. 由all the T-shirts are sold at half price可知,这家商店还没有关闭,但准备将要关闭,所以选C,用现在进行时表示最近的打算。
2. A. “祈使句+or+陈述句”句型中,陈述句的谓语用“will+动词原形”,几乎是固定的。句意是:让我们扣住主题吧,否则,我们就作不了决定。
3. D. 因为was saying表明“他说”发生在过去,“没听到”应该是“他说”的时候没听到,所以miss也是发生在过去,而miss作“未听见、未理解”解时,一般没有进行时,因此,只有D正确。句意是:我的注意力当时并没有集中在他所说的内容上,所以恐怕有一半我都没听到。
4. D. 根据括号内的1847—1931可知,此处应填过去时态;另外,由于没有另一个过去的时间或动作与之比较,故不能用过去完成时,即只能选D。
5. A. 句意是:(你来我家时) 我正在机场等候一位从England来的朋友。表示在过去某一时刻或在过去某一段时间内正在发生的事,用过去进行时,所以选A。
一般现在时的用法:
用法一:时间、条件、方式及让步状语从句中的谓语动词是将来的动作或状态时,用一般现在时表示。如:
If you come, we will wait for you. 如果你来,我们就等你。
When he gets here, the work will be finished. 当他到这儿时,工作将做完了。
Though he disagrees with us, he will do as we decided. 尽管他不赞成我们当观点,他还是会按我们的决定去做。

用法二:在某些习惯表达法中,常用一般现在时表示已经发生过的动作或存在的状态。如:
They say Wu Dong is ill. 据说吴东病了。
The paper says the disease is under control. 报纸上说这种病已经得到了控制。
The diagram tells us that people’s living is improving. 这份图表告诉我们,人们的生活正在改善。
后接从句时要用一般现在时表示将来的特殊动词:
在I hope , I bet, see (to it) 等后的宾语从句中通常用一般现在时表示将来意义,但有时也可直接用将来时态。如:
I hope that you like [will like] it. 你希望你会喜欢它。
I bet it rains [will rain] tomorrow. 我打赌明天会下雨。
See (to it) that children don’t catch cold. 当心别让孩子感冒。
I’ll see that nobody disturbs [will disturb] you. 我将确保没人打扰你。
注意:see (to it) 后的that从句通常用一般现在时表将来,直接用将来的情形较少见。
与现在完成时连用的标志:
类似于in the past five years的时间状语,它表示从现在算起的过去一段时间,因此通常要与现在完成时连用。如:
I’ve seen little of her in the past few weeks. 近几周我很少见到她。
We’ve planted thousands of trees in the past five years. 过去五年我们种了成千上万棵树。
Population has increased by 200% in the past 25 years. 人口在过去25年内增加了200%。
【注】其中的介词in有时也可换成for, during, over, within 等,有时也可省去。如:
He’s been in a coma for the past six weeks. 在过去的六个星期中,他一直昏迷不醒。
People have changed their diets a lot over the past few years. 在过去的几年中,人们的饮食习惯已改变了很大。
Within the past few minutes, the President has issued a statement. 在过去的几分钟里,总统发表了一项声明。
另外,有时可能用含有情态动词的完成式。如:
I must have slept three hours in the past day and a half. 在过去的一天半时间里,我肯定只睡了三个小时。
