請(qǐng)看下面的題目：
“Your phone number again? I _________ quite catch it.” “It’s 4331577”
A. didn’t?????????????? B. couldn’t???????????? C. don’t??????????????? D. can’t

【分析】此題容易誤選C，認(rèn)為此處要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，表示現(xiàn)在“沒(méi)聽(tīng)清對(duì)方的話(huà)”。其實(shí)，此題答案應(yīng)選A，根據(jù)上文的語(yǔ)境“請(qǐng)把你的電話(huà)號(hào)碼再說(shuō)一遍好嗎?”可知“沒(méi)聽(tīng)清對(duì)方的電話(huà)號(hào)碼”應(yīng)是在說(shuō)此話(huà)以前，故應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)。請(qǐng)看以下類(lèi)似試題：

(1) “Mr Smith isn’t coming tonight.” “ But he _________.”
A. promises????????????? B. promised????????????? C. will promise????????? D. had promised
答案選B，“他答應(yīng)(要來(lái))”應(yīng)發(fā)生在過(guò)去。

(2) “Hey, look where you are going!” “Oh, I’m terribly sorry. _________.”
A. I’m not noticing??? B. I wasn’t noticing?? C. I haven’t noticed?? D. I don’t notice
答案選B，“我沒(méi)注意”是對(duì)方提醒之前的事，現(xiàn)經(jīng)對(duì)方一提醒，當(dāng)然注意到了。

(3) “Oh it’s you ! I _________ you.” “I’ve had my hair cut.”
A. didn’t realize???????? B. haven’t realized???? C. didn’t recognize??? D. don’t recognized? 答案選C。“沒(méi)認(rèn)出是你”是說(shuō)此話(huà)之前的事，說(shuō)此話(huà)時(shí)顯然已經(jīng)認(rèn)出了對(duì)方。

(4) “What’s her new telephone number?” “Oh, I _________.”
A. forget?????????????????? B. forgot?????????????????? C. had forgotten??????? D. am forgetting
此題應(yīng)選A，從語(yǔ)境上看，“忘記”的時(shí)間應(yīng)是現(xiàn)在，即指現(xiàn)在不記得了。

(5) “Since you’ve agreed to go, why aren’t you getting ready?” “But I _________ that you would have me start at once.”
A. don’t realize????????? B. didn’t realize???????? C. hadn’t realized?????? D. haven’t realized
