【答案解析】
1. C. 根据句意“我不知道Sam现在是否已经做完了作业，(但是我知道)他今天早上一直在做作业”，可知要用过去进行时。
2. B. 由What’s=What is可知，现在在出声音;进而知道“邻居们正在为一个晚会作准备”，所以用现在进行时态。再说，已经准备好了或者将作准备，我们不可能听得到声音，问句也就不成立了，排除A和D。
3. B. 根据but she hasn’t decided yet (尚未决定) 可知，从开始失业时起一直在考虑再去上学，现在还在考虑。表示从过去某一时刻开始一直到现在，并且现在依然在发生的动作，用现在完成进行时，现在完成进行时由“have/has been doing”构成，所以选B。
4. A. 由when the earthquake struck可知，要用一般过去时，排除C和D;又因为主语是单数the teacher，所以只有A正确。
5. D. 由when…was brought in可知，come也是过去发生的事，用一般过去时。句意是：当引入一个有趣的话题时，那场讨论又变得活跃起来。
过去进行时与一般过去时的区别：
区别一：过去进行时强调动作在过去某时刻正在进行或持续，而一般过去时表示动作的完成。如：
He was writing his composition last night. 他昨晚在写作文。(不一定写完)
He wrote his composition last night. 他昨晚写了一篇作文。(已经写完)
区别二：表示过去的状态、感觉及心理活动的静态动词(如be, like, love, hate, fear, own, hear, see, know, want, notice)可用于一般过去时，但通常不用于进行时。如：
I hated it when a man spoke with his mouth full of food. 我讨厌人们说话时口里含着食物。
后接从句时要用一般现在时表示将来的特殊动词：
在it doesn’t matter, I don’t care, I don’t mind 等结构(以及类似结构)后的名词性从句也通常用一般现在时表示将来意义。如：
It doesn’t matter where we go on holiday. 我们去哪儿度假都行。
Does it matter who goes first? 谁先去这有关系吗?
I don’t care whether we win or lose. 我不在乎我们是赢还是输。
Don’t you care what happens to them? 难道你不关心他们出什么事了?
if从句之后可接表示将来的be going to吗：
可以。在 if 之后，通常不能接表示将来的will，但可以用be going to表示意图。如以下例句均摘自权威词书：
If you’re going to join us, we’ll wait for you. 如果你打算和我们一起来，我们就等你。
I daresay you’ll phone me if you’re going to be late tonight. 我想如果你今天夜里回来得晚，会给我打电话的吧。
I’ll have to dust off my French if we’re going to move to Paris. 我们要是搬到巴黎去，我就得把法语重新拾起来。
