A. forget, forget B. forgot, forgot C. forget, forgot D. forgot, forget 【陷阱】简单误选 A,认为"遗忘'是如今的事。 【分析】认真体会一下对话的语境:第一个人说"我遗忘他的电话号码了',这个"遗忘'应当是如今的状况,即如今遗忘了,要不然就没有必要同对方说此话了,故第一空应填 forget;第二个人说"我有他的号码,但我遗忘带电话本了',这个"遗忘'应当是过去的状况,即过去遗忘带电话本,所以如今电话本不在身上(留意句中的转折连词 but),故第二空应填 forgot,即答案选应 C。请再看一例: Oh, I ______ where he lives. Dont you carry your address book? No, I ______ to bring it. A. forget, forget B. forgot, forgot C. forget, forgot D. forgot, forget 答案选 C,理由同上。 2. I had hoped to see her off at the station, but I _____ too busy. A. was B. had been C. would be D. would have been 【陷阱】简单误选 B 或 D,认为前句用了 had hoped,所以此句谓语要用 B或 D 与之呼应。 【分析】但正确答案为 A,前一句谓语用 had hoped,表示的是过去未曾实现的想法或准备,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。请做以下类似试题(答案均为 A): (1) We had hoped to catch the 10:20 train, but _____ it was gone. A. found B. had found C. would find D. would have found (2) We had hoped that you would be able to visit us, but you _____.
