Answer 1

我知道我不是第一个到达的 ，be the first to do sth.
看见烟正从窗户升起，see sth. doing sth.
所以选B。
看见某物正在干什么 。see sth. doing sth.
看见某物经常干什么。see sth. do sth.

Answer 2

选B. 道理：中文“第一个做…的人”的英文表达是the first (person) to do sth而不是the first (person) doing sth，故C D 都不对；A不对，是因为感官动词see用作“看到某人做某事”时只有两种种表达方式，要么是see sb doing sth，要么是see sb do sth，前者表示看到某人在做某事，后者表示看到某人做某事的全过程，根本没有see sb to do sth 的说法！所以A不对。

Answer 3

选B
the first to do 排除C D
see sth do/doing 排除A
