Normally you could stay with us, but our house ______ at the moment. A．is decorated B．was decorated C．is being decorated D．was being decorated

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查时态及被动语态的用法。句中前半句中的could 并非是过去时态，而是对现在的一种推测，因此由后半句中的at the moment“现在，目前”这一时间状语可确定时态应该用现在进行时，又由于房子与装修之间是被动关系，所以应该用现在进行时的被动语态。本句的意思是“一般地说你可以和我在一起，而我们家的房子目前正在装修”。故选C 点评：命题者在于考查学生容易出错点，学生看到了could认为是过去式，误选D，could表示推测学生容易忽视。 即学即练：The sports meeting ______in our school now. A.is being held    B. was held C. is held D. was being held 解析：A   句意：我校正在举行运动会。
