在雅思聽力考試過程中，題干中可能經(jīng)常會出現(xiàn)一些表示時態(tài)的單詞：
劍橋11 test 2 section 2 中13/14題

A. rooms for hire
B. backstage tours
C. hire of costumes

劍橋8 test 2 section 2中19題

B. fruit tree blossom
C. a demonstration of fishing
劍橋7 test 4section2中12題
theoriginal [5] buildings on the site were
A. leisure
B. apartment blocks
C. a sports center
從這些題中我們可以看出，前兩道題都出現(xiàn)了currently, 第三，第四道題at present, 第五道出現(xiàn)original，它們都是表示時間的詞，都是選擇題中題干出現(xiàn)的限定詞，也是這些題中的考點(diǎn)詞。
比如說第一道題which Two facilities does the theatre currently offer to the public?哪兩個設(shè)施是theatre 目前提供給公眾的?那我們要選擇選項(xiàng)中包含現(xiàn)在時間詞的選項(xiàng)，錄音中可能還會出現(xiàn)將來時間進(jìn)行干擾，所以計(jì)劃，打算，不久將開放的就是干擾項(xiàng)。
根據(jù)錄音：so we ‘re looking into the possibility to open a cafe in due course. (in due course 在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r候)排除E
there are 2 large rooms will be decorated next month , and they’ll be available for hire排除A.
we ‘re also considering hiring out costumes 排除C
所以排除法就可以做出來了。以上干擾句中都出現(xiàn)了將來時間詞。
而答案句：
one way is by organizing backstage tours,so people can be shown around the building and learn how a theatre operates
we have a bookshop which specializes in books about drama and that attracts plenty of customers
都是一般現(xiàn)在時。
第二道題：題干出現(xiàn)currently，問現(xiàn)在情況
所以根據(jù)錄音：we intend to learn run courses in acting, but we’re waiting until we’ve got the right people in place as trainers.出現(xiàn)將來時間排除B
we ‘re going to start sound next month.出現(xiàn)將來時間詞可以排除A.
a number of people have enquired about workshops on make-up, that’s something we’r considering for the future.排除C
答案句中：our lighting workshop has already started with great success.
a surprise success is the workshop on making puppets……..it is so popular we’re now running them very month. 是現(xiàn)在完成時或者現(xiàn)在時。
那么我們來總結(jié)一下考試中常見的時間時態(tài)詞：
過去的時間詞：original/originally / previous/ previously / former/ initially/ first / last / used to do / ago/ before / did /past
現(xiàn)在的時間詞：current/currently/ at present/ at the moment / now/ recently / have already done
將來的時間詞：future/ be about to do/ be going to do / next / be considering / plan to do / intend to do / be thinking of / soon /
所以做做時態(tài)型的選擇題時，我們審題時一定要注意題干中限定的時間詞，如果是現(xiàn)在的，那么一般會大量用將來進(jìn)行干擾。而答案句對應(yīng)也是現(xiàn)在時或現(xiàn)在完成時。如果審題中題干時過去限定詞，那么常用過去時間對應(yīng)，當(dāng)然也會部分出現(xiàn)干擾。題干中直接出線一般將來時的題很少，基本上都在問過去或者現(xiàn)在的情況。學(xué)員要牢記常見時間詞，進(jìn)行同意替換或者進(jìn)行干擾排除，這類題就迎刃而解了。
