2020屆高考英語Unit 5 Travelling abroad精講精練復習
c.it was used to d.it used to be
【解析】 表示“過去常常……”用used to do...，并且本題be不能省略。
【答案】 d
14.i________to be quite afraid to live in that city，but now i have________to the life there.
a.used；been used
b.used；used
c.was used；got used
d.got used；been used
【解析】 考查短語辨析。used to do過去常常；be/get used to (doing) sth.習慣于……；be used to do sth.(＝be used for doing sth.)被用來干某事。由句意“我過去不敢住在那座城市里，但現在我已經習慣了那里的生活了”，此題選a項。
【答案】 a
it was the first time she had ever left her motherland. 這是她第一次離開她的祖國。
it/this/that was the first/second...time that從句(過去完成時)
it is the first time that an africanamerican has been elected the president of the united states.
這是第一次一位非裔美國人被選為美國總統。
it was the third time (that) he had been ill that year.
那是他那年第三次生病了。
(1)與the first time一樣可用做連詞的常見詞(組)有：the moment，the minute，the instant，directly，instantly，immediately，the＋序數詞＋time，each time，every time等。
(2)it’s (high) time that sb.did sth.到了某人做某事的時候了
it’s (high) time that sb.should do sth.
到某人應該做某事的時候了。
the first time i saw the dress，i decided to buy it.
第一次看見這件連衣裙我就決定買它了。
it’s (high) time that we did something to stop pollution.
該是我們做些什么制止污染的時候了。
15.i thought her nice and honest________i met her.
a.first time b.for the first time
c.the first time d.by the first time
【解析】 句意為：我第一次遇到她的時候認為她既漂亮又誠實。the first time引導時間狀語從句，表示“第一次……的時候”。
【答案】 c
16.—it’s the second time that i________to shanghai.
—what great changes！it’s ten years since i________it last time.
a.have been；left b.had been；left
c.am；had left d.come；had left
【解析】 在表時間的句式it be＋time＋since從句中出現了時間狀語last time，故從句應用一般過去時，排除c、d兩項，結合it be＋the＋序數詞＋time (that)從句時態特殊要求，可知a項為最佳選項。
【答案】 a
17.it’s high time the government________measures to help the graduates.
a.takes b.took
c.will take d.has taken
【解析】 考查虛擬語氣。句式it be (about/high) time接從句時，從句要用虛擬語氣，謂語動詞用一般過去式，或should＋動詞原形形式。
【答案】 b
besides，as far as he was concerned，what other people thought was not the most important thing.
此外，他認為別人的想法并不是最重要的。
