【答案】C 考查动词时态的用法。根据交际情景此处表示“那个时候我正在洗澡”,使用过去进行时态,故选C。
过去进行时的用法:
一、如何理解过去进行时
大家知道,现在进行时表示说话时正在进行的动作或发生的情况。由此可推知,过去进行时就是表示在过去某时正在进行的动作或发生的情况。如汉语说“我进来时他正在吃饭”,如果“进来”发生在过去,那么“正在吃饭”显然就是过去某时正在进行的动作——也就是说,“进来”用一般过去时,“正在吃饭”就要用过去进行时。
二、过去进行时的构成与用法
前面讲到,现在进行时由“am / is /are+现在分词”构成。如果我们将现在进行时中的助动词am / is / are改为过去式was / were,那么现在进行时就变成了过去进行时,也就是说过去进行时由“was / were + 现在分词”构成。如:
He fell asleep when he was reading. 他看书时睡着了。
We were expecting you yesterday. 我们昨天一直在等你。
*句中的“看书”用了过去进行时,是因为当时看书的动作正在进行;第二句中的“等”也用了过去进行时,也是因为“等”这个动作昨天一直在持续。
现在进行时的用法:
现在进行时有时可以与always, constantly, continually, forever等表示动作屡次发生的副词连用,强调动作的不断重复的。如:
He is always losing his keys. 他老是丢钥匙。
He is always thinking of his work.他老是想到他的工作。
She’s constantly changing her mind. 她老是改变主意。
Some students in my class are forever talking. 我班上有些学生老是在说话。
这类用法通常带有一定的感情色彩,如表示满意、赞扬、责备、不满、厌烦、不以为然等。
一般现在时表将来:
在I hope , I bet等后的宾语从句中及as, than 引出的比较状语从句中可用一般现在时表示将来意义,有时也可直接用一般将来时。如:
I hope you have / will have a good trip.我希望你旅途愉快。
I hope you'll be better soon. 我希望你能很快好起来。
I bet he arrives late, he always does so. 我敢肯定他得迟到,他一贯如此。
I bet our team win / will win. 我敢断定我们队准能获胜。
We’ll get there as soon as you do [will]. 你一到,我们就到。
We’ll probably drive faster than you do [will]. 我们开车很可能比你快。
