1.By the time I got up,my brother had already gotten in the shower.
by the time意為“在……以前;到……的時(shí)候”,后面常接句子,用來(lái)限定時(shí)間,與before或when同義。如果從句用了一般過(guò)去時(shí),主句一般常用過(guò)去完成時(shí);如果主句用了一般將來(lái)時(shí),從句常用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示將來(lái)。例如:
By the time I got outside,the school bus had already gone.在我出門(mén)以前,校車(chē)已經(jīng)離開(kāi)了。
He will be a doctor by the time he is thirty.到三十歲時(shí),他將會(huì)成為一名醫(yī)生。

【2015·龍東中考題】
A.rang B.has rung
C.had rung
【答案與解析】C by the time意為“在……以前;到……的時(shí)候”,如果其引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句是一般過(guò)去時(shí),主句則用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。
2.I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first.
be about to do sth.意為“正要/馬上就要做某事”,可以表示將來(lái)的情況,但它表達(dá)的是最近的將來(lái)。例如:
The new term is about to begin.新學(xué)期就要開(kāi)始了。
【知識(shí)拓展】
be about to do sth.when...意為“正要做某事,這時(shí)……”,其中的when...意為“(突然)這時(shí)……”。例如:
I was about to go to bed when the phone rang.我正要上床睡覺(jué),這時(shí)電話響了。
They were about to leave when it started to snow.他們正要離開(kāi),這時(shí)突然開(kāi)始下起雪來(lái)。

3.When I got to school,I realized that I had left my backpack at home.
“l(fā)eave sth.+地點(diǎn)”表示“把某物落在某地”,其中的“地點(diǎn)”多用介詞短語(yǔ)表示,要注意其中的動(dòng)詞leave不要換成forget。例如:
I left my passport in the hotel.我把我的護(hù)照落在旅館了。
Maybe you've left your key in the library.也許你把鑰匙落在圖書(shū)館了。
【真題鏈接】
—We can't enter the room.I can't find my key.
—Is it possible that you _____it at home?
【2017·南京中考題】
A.left B.fixed
C.managed D.designed
【答案與解析】A left(leave的過(guò)去式)意為“遺忘”;fix意為“修理”;manage意為“管理”;design意為“設(shè)計(jì)”。根據(jù)題干上句句意“我們不能進(jìn)入房間,我找不到我的鑰匙了?!辈⒔Y(jié)合所給選項(xiàng)可知,題干下句句意應(yīng)是“你會(huì)不會(huì)把它落在家里了?”。
4.As I was waiting in line with the other office workers,I heard a loud sound.
句中的as引導(dǎo)的是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。當(dāng)主句是一般過(guò)去時(shí),as或just as引導(dǎo)的從句的謂語(yǔ)是過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí),整個(gè)復(fù)合句表達(dá)的是“正當(dāng)/就在……的時(shí)候,另外一件事情發(fā)生了”。例如:
As we were walking across the fields,a hare jumped out the grass.正當(dāng)我們走路穿過(guò)田野時(shí),一只野兔從草叢中跳了出來(lái)。

C.will set D.have set

5.We're trying to save the earth.
try to do sth.意為“盡力去做某事”,其中的to是動(dòng)詞不定式符號(hào),后面接動(dòng)詞原形,其否定形式為try not to do sth.。例如:
I will try to finish the work in a week.我將盡力在一周內(nèi)完成這項(xiàng)工作。
We try not to trouble him.我們盡量不打擾他。
【知識(shí)拓展】
try doing sth.表示“試著做某事”。例如:
Try doing it in another way.試著用另一種方法來(lái)做這件事。
【特別提醒】
manage to do sth.表示“設(shè)法完成(某件困難的事)”,包含經(jīng)過(guò)努力之后達(dá)到了目的。例如:
We managed to get to the airport on time.我們?cè)O(shè)法準(zhǔn)時(shí)趕到了機(jī)場(chǎng)。

【2017·樂(lè)山中考題】
A.to wake B.not to wake

【答案與解析】B 題干上句句意為“我剛才沒(méi)有聽(tīng)見(jiàn)你進(jìn)來(lái)”,根據(jù)題干下句中第一句的句意“那很好?!笨芍诙涞木湟鈶?yīng)是“我盡量不弄醒這個(gè)嬰兒”。try not to do sth.意為“盡量不做某事”。

remember doing sth.意為“記得做過(guò)某事”,表示動(dòng)作已經(jīng)發(fā)生;remember to do sth.意為“記得要做某事”,表示動(dòng)作尚未發(fā)生。例如:
I remember telling you about it before.我記得以前和你談過(guò)這件事。

【真題鏈接】

【2016·泰州中考題】
A.to understand;reading
B.understanding;reading
C.understanding;to read
D.to understand;to read
【答案與解析】C句意:——凌先生,我在理解這篇文章上有困難?!涀≈辽僖x三到四遍。have difficulty(in)doing sth.意為“做某事有困難”;remember to do sth.意為“記得要做某事”,表示某事還沒(méi)有做,remember doing sth.意為“記得做過(guò)某事”。結(jié)合句意及語(yǔ)境可知“至少要讀三到四遍”這個(gè)動(dòng)作還沒(méi)有發(fā)生。
7.But along with difficulties,there will also be many exciting things waiting for you.
There be sb./sth.doing sth.是固定句型,意為“有某人或某物正在做某事/某事正在發(fā)生”。be動(dòng)詞的數(shù)要與句型中主語(yǔ)的數(shù)保持一致。例如:
There are some little girls playing games under the tree.有一些小女孩正在樹(shù)下玩游戲。
There is a new machine working on the farm.在農(nóng)場(chǎng)有一臺(tái)新機(jī)器正在工作。
