题目内容
12.Why on earth didn't you answer the door?I'm sorry,but the phone_________ at the same time.( )
A. | is ringing | B. | was ringing | ||
C. | rang | D. | was about to ring |
分析 ---你究竟为什么不开门?
---对不起,只是电话铃同时也响了.
解答 答案:B
由于问句"Why on earth didn't you answer the door?你究竟为什么不开门?"使用了一般过去时,答语中的时间状语"at the same time"指的就是不开门的时候,所以此处需要使用表示过去的某种时态;故排除A;分析句意可知,不开门的原因是当时电话铃响了;所以此处表示过去正在发生的动作,需要用过去进行时;C.rang是ring的过去时形式,表示过去某时间里发生的动作,不强调动作正在进行;D.was about to ring表示过去将要进行的动作;因此C.D都不合句意;故选B
点评 本题考查了过去进行时(was/were+动词的ing形式)的用法.过去进行时表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内进行或发生的动作;因此做此类题时,可以根据句意或句子结构的提示,确定该动作是发生在过去并且是当时正在进行着的.
