1． [2010·上海卷] The church tower which________will be open to tourists soon. The work is almost finished.

过去发生的动作持续到现在并仍在进行，选C。
4． [2009·天津卷] My parents ________ in Hong Kong. They were born there and have never lived anywhere else.
A．live B．lived C．were living D．will live
【解析】 A 考查时态。后句意思为：他们出生在香港，从来没有在别的地方住过。

5． [2009·江苏卷] —Ann is in hospital.
—Oh, really? I ________know. I ________go and visit her. A．didn't; am going to B．don't; would C．don't; will D．didn't; will
【解析】 D 由答语中的“Oh, really？”可以看出，“我”是刚刚知道的，所以用I didn't
know表示现在之前不知道。A项中的am going to表示“说话时早有的打算”，而D项中的will则表示“说话时临时的打算”。
6．[2009·上海卷] During the period of recent terrorist activities, people ______not to touch any unattended bag.
A．had always been warned B．were always being warned

并且人们与警告之间是被动的关系，选B。
7．He________ football regularly for many years when he was young.
A．was playing B．played C．has played
D．had played
【解析】 B 考查考生对题干中句子含义的理解以及对动词时态的掌握情况。由题干
中的“for many years”很多同学推断出应为现在完成时，但“when he was young”这个时间状语表明他打球是过去时，未持续到现在。由“regularly” 可知他过去经常打球，是一种过去的习惯性的动作，选B。
8． [2010·全国卷Ⅱ] Linda，make sure the tables ________ before the guests arrive.
A．be set C．are set
B．set D．are setting
