Question

【题目】When I _____________ in bed, I heard a lot of noise. Some workers were ___________ a new road.

A. lie；lying B. lay；laying

C. laid；lying D. laid；laying

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】句意：当我躺在床上时，我听到很多噪音。一些工人正在铺设一条新路。lie平躺，lay意为＂铺，铺设＂。由heard可知前半句要用一般过去时，lie的过去式是lay；由were可知第二句要用过去进行时，lay的现在分词是laying。结合句意和语境可知选B。
