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.
