3. —I hear Jane has gone to the Holy Island for her holiday.
—Oh, how nice! Do you know when she ______?
A. was leaving B. had left C. has left D. left
解析:答案选 D。因为Jane已经度假去了，“离开”此地就当然是在此之前的过去某个时间了，所以用一般过去时，选D。另外，when通常都不与完成时连用，排除B和C，A也与语境不符。
4. I ______ you not to move my dictionary—-now I can’t find it.
A. asked B. ask C. was asking D. had asked
解析:答案选 A。由now可知前句的意思是:我曾经叫你不要搬动我的词典的 (你偏不听)。“叫”是在过去发生的动作，用一般过去时。
5. The teacher, with 6 girls and 8 boys of her class, ______ visiting a museum when the earthquake struck.
A. was B. were C. had been D. would be
解析:答案选 A。由when the earthquake struck可知，要用一般过去时，排除C和D; 又因为主语是单数the teacher，所以只有A正确。
过去完成时习题:
1. She ______her hairstyle in her hometown before she came to Chongqing for a better job.
A. would change B. has changed C. changed D. was changing
分析:C。由came可知，她已来重庆了，而改变发型是在来重庆之前，即过去的过去，按理要用过去完成时，但before已经表明紧接着发生的先后两个动作，所以也可用一般过去时，所以选C。

A. has left B. left C. was leaving D. had left
