Question

After school we went to the reading-room to do some reading, only to be told that it _____.

1. A.
   was decorated
2. B.
   had decorated
3. C.
   had been decorating
4. D.
   was being decorated

Answer 1

D
试题分析：考查时态：句意：放学后，我们去阅览室看书，结果被告知阅览室正在装修。所以这个动作是过去正在进行，而且the reading-room和 decorate是被动关系，用过去进行时的被动。选D。
考点：考查时态
点评：时态题的考查关键是抓住句子的上下文含义和句中的时间状语。要根据时间状语来选择合适的时态，在平时的学习中要注意积累有关时态的用法和各种时态的特殊之处。
