Question

【题目】— What did Mrs. Liu tell us to do this afternoon?

— Oh, I’m sorry I __________ attention to her. I was looking for my pen.

A.didn’t payB.haven’t paidC.am not payingD.won’t pay

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：——刘太太叫我们今天下午做什么？ ——哦，对不起，我没注意到她讲的话。我当时正在找我的钢笔。

考查时态。A. didn’t pay表一般过去时；B. haven’t paid表现在完成时；C. am not paying表现在进行时；D. won’t pay表一般将来时。结合前后句What did Mrs. Liu tell us to do this afternoon?和I was looking for my pen可知，这里所提到的动作都已经发生过，故应用过去时态，故选A。
