Question

The workers were so tired that they fell asleep where they ______without undressing.

A．lying

B．were lying

C．lied

D．were lain

Answer 1

B

试题分析：句意：工人们如此得累以致于他们没有脱衣就睡着了在他们躺的地方。这里缺少的谓语动词，故排除A，主语与动词之间是主动关系。故排除D；lied是说谎的过去式，根据句意故选B。
点评：本题难度适中。动词时态是高中阶段的重难点之一，高中要求掌握的时态需要考生牢记它们的用法，但是时态必须要结合一定的语境才能做出正确的判断。这里考生容易误选C。
即学即练：He was ashamed that he ______.
A. lying    B. were lying   C. lied    D. had lied
解析：D。句意：他很惭愧他说了谎。
