●模拟解析●
1. C。第一空填 look, 因为这是祈使句的谓语；第二空填 had，因为前一句说“看看时间吧”，这一看当然知道了现在很迟的情形，“不知道这么迟了”显然应是“过去”的事，故应用一般过去时态。
2. A。从语境上看，“忘记”的时间应是现在，即指现在不记得了。
3. B。其中的 did 为强调用法。
4. B。从语境上看，develop 不仅要用被动语态，而且要用进行时态。
5. A。从下文的语境看，既然现在叫对方重复一遍，说明“没听清对方的最后一点”应发生在过去（即说此话之前）。
6. B。before 用作副词时不与具体时间连用，泛指“以前”，通常与一般过去时或现在完成时连用。
7. C。表示目前的一种状态(from www.hxen.com)。
8. B，注意下文语境：事实上，我昨天就做完了。从该回答的语气上推测，填空处应填现在完成时态。
9. D。第一个 when 引导的是主语从句，用一般将来时表示将来；第二个 when引导的是时间状语从句，用一般现在时表示将来。
10. C。因为 date from 的意思是“自某时起存在至今”(＝have existed since)，它通常用于一般现在时，而不用过去时态(尽管其后接的总是表示过去的时间)，除非所谈论的东西现在已不复存在，如：The church, which dated from the 13th century, was destroyed in an earthquake two years ago (那座教堂是13世纪建成的，两年前在一次地震中被毁了)。(注：与 date from 同义的 date back to 也有类似用法。)
11. A。前一句谓语用had hoped，表示的是过去未曾实现的想法或打算，可以译为“本想”，而后一句说“我太忙”，这是陈述过去的一个事实，所以要用一般过去时。
12. B。用现在完成时表示结果，即你已经错过了机会，其结果是：你只能等。
13. B。用现在完成时表示影响或结果，即现在笔不见了，是由于某人已经把它拿走了的结果。
14. B，用现在完成时表示从过去持续到现在的一段时间(from www.hxen.com)。
15. C，用现在完成时表示影响或结果，即他整个星期都在国外，所以你说你在剧院见过他，你一定是搞错了。
16. C。指刚才对方提醒之前没看到垃圾箱，用过去式。
17. A。由now和for a long time可知“很长时间都没有像现在这样下雨这么多”，用现在完成时。
18. A。由no是对前句的否定可知现在不在部队服役，是以前“服过役”，故用一般过去时。
19. B。从语境看“忘记”应为过去；“放学后自己去记”是临时的决定，不能用表示计划或打算的be going to。
20. D。从“我们只谈了几句话”可知，当我们去拜访时，Professor Smith“正要”离开了，D是过去进行时表示过去将来时。
21. C。由“我正要去洗澡”可知昨天你打电话时“我刚刚画完”，“画完”在“打电话前”之前，即过去的过去，故用过去完成时(from www.hxen.com)。
22. B。always有时可与进行时态连用，但含有某些感情色彩，如报怨、厌恶、赞美等。此句表示的是报怨。
23. D。句意为“我已学电脑几年了，我现在还在学。”am后省略了studying。
24. D. 在她arrived之前就已离开；即过去的过去，用had left.
25. B. 语境为：原以为(thought)丢了的（had lost）确在鼻子底下。
