曲梁

1. Amon___________his ship in a big storm when a giant fish came out of the sea.

A. will sail B. is sailing C. was sailing D. has sailed

【解析】 句意：Amon駕船在暴風雨中航行時，一條大魚從海里游了出來。考查動詞時態辨析。本句是when引導的時間狀語從句，時態遵循“主過從過”;根據when a giant fish came out of the sea可知遇到大雨時Amon正在航行，主句需用過去進行時，故選C。

2. Students in Grade Nine___________a maths exam at this time yesterday.

A. take B. are taking C. were taking D. have taken

【解析】 句意：昨天這個時候九年級的學生正在參加數學考試。考查動詞時態辨析。at this time yesterday“昨天這個時候”，用于過去進行時“was / were+doing”結構，根據句意結構和語境，可知選C。

3. —I called you last night， but nobody answered. Where were you then？

—Oh， I___________my pet dog in my yard.

A. walked B. was walking C. am walking D. will walk

【解析】 句意：——我昨晚給你打電話了，但是沒有人接。那時你在哪里？——哦，我在院子里遛我的寵物狗。考查動詞時態辨析。根據句意語境可知，昨晚你打電話時我正在遛狗，需用過去進行時“was / were doing”結構，故選B。

4. Peter with his classmates___________for the bus when the earthquake happened.

A. is waiting B. was waiting C. are waiting D. were waiting

【解析】 句意：地震發生時，彼得和他的同學們正在等公共汽車。選項A和C是現在進行時;選項B和D是過去進行時。根據句意可知這一動作正在發生，因此句子Peter with his classmates___________for the bus應該用過去進行時，排除A和C;又因為Peter with his classmates中的with表示伴隨，因此本題的主語是Peter，為單數，所以be動詞用was，故選B。

5. Sorry， I didn't see you， because I___________a picture.

A. draw B. drew C. was drawing D. have drawn

【解析】 句意：對不起，我沒看見你，因為我在畫畫。根據I didn't see you可知是過去那個時候在畫畫，所以用過去進行時態;draw為一般現在時態的結構，drew為一般過去時態的結構， was drawing為過去進行時態的結構，have drawn為現在完成時態的結構，故選C。

6. —Linda， you weren't at home at five o'clock yesterday afternoon.

—I___________soccer with my classmates when you called me.
