问题 "I wondered if I could have a word with you." The past tense used in the sentence refers to a____. (2017-14)
选项 A、past event for exact time reference
B、present event for tentativeness
C、present event for uncertainty
D、past event for politeness
答案B
解析 考查动词时态。在口语中，一般过去时有时可以用来代替一般现在时，并不表示过去时间，而是表示现在时间，表达委婉的口气，显得更缓和，因而更客气，故可排除A、D和C；B项中tentativeness表示试探性、委婉，故答案为B。再如：I wondered(wonder)if you could do me a favor．／I wanted(want)to ask if I could borrow your car．
