这篇短文描述了几个关心环保的学生去一家建筑公司面见公司负责人的一些情况。整个故事发生在过去,因此,文中叙述性文字应该用一般过去时。短文中有不少对话主要是当时当地的人物活动情况。因此,引号内人物讲的话主要涉及现在进行时和一般现在时。
76. went。本句是叙述性文字,从后面同类句子的时态判断,这里应用一般过去时。
77. doesn't often come; 78. is working。这两个空所在的句子在引号内。从often看,前一空应用一般现在时,从now看,后一空应用现在进行时。
79. took。take the lift意为“乘电梯”。
80. was; 81. were。这一整段文字交待了从孩子们上楼到进入办公室的情况。从文中walked, wasn't两词判断,空白处要用动词过去式。
82. are you doing。Sam问Kathy正在做什么,故用现在进行时。
83. am looking。Kathy回答Sam的提问,问句与答句的时态要一致。
84. aren't going to be / aren't。孩子们看到建筑规划图后,认为应该考虑绿化问题,而规划图上现在没有体现出来,将来就更不可能体现出来了。因此,本空可用现在时,也可用将来时。
85. stop。在同一个句子中,and前后的动词形式是一样的。句子前一谓语动词是must tell,后一谓语动词为避免重复,将情态动词must省略了。
