5、例題
考題1 As she ____the newspaper ,Granny ____ asleep .(95)
A. read /was falling B .was reading /fell
C. Was reading /was falling D. read/fell
分析 時間從句的動作長，而“入睡”動作短，故前者用過去進(jìn)行時，而較短動詞用一般過去時，選B
考題2 Tom ___ into the house when no one ___ .
A. slipped/was looking B. Had slipped /looked
C. slipped/had looked D. was slipping /looked
分析 此題先要理解好when ，表“此時”，說明主句中slipped是較短行為，而look是較長行為的片斷，即湯姆溜進(jìn)房子，此時沒人瞧見，故選A為正確。
