Had it been possible I would have gone to the movies, but I ________________ busy. A．had been B．am C．was D．would be

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考察时态。本题较难，首先考生要清楚前半句是一个倒装句，还原成陈述句：If it had been possible I would have gone to the movies.可知本句是对过去情况的虚拟。But后面要使用陈述语序，故使用一般过去时。句意：如果可能，我会去看那部电影的。但是我太忙了。故C正确。 点评：英语中的时态主要由动词的形式决定，因此在学习英语时态时，要注意分析动词形式及具体语境，想象在那个特定的时间动作所发生的背景，这个动作是经常性动作、一般性动作、进行性动作、完成性动作还是将要发生的动作。
