A. made B. is making C. was making D. makes 此题中was making 表示正在做衣服的过程，如用made 则表示这一动作已结束，做衣服的动作已结束与 cut her finger就没有联系。3) He _ (write) a letter, then went to bed.wrote 表示动作已结束，做另一件事，如用was writing就与went to bed 在逻辑上相矛盾。过去进行时侧重表示动作延长的时间长度; 一般过去时表示过去某时发生过某事，侧重说明事实。 He _ all night last night. （生动的描写，他一直写）He _ something last night （说明他写了的事实）注：下列几类动词通常不用过去进行时。 表示状态的动词 be； 感官动词：feel, hear, see, smell, taste等; 表示思维或心理状态的动词：believe (认为), forget, consider, know, remember, hope, wish, want 等； 表示所属关系的动词：belong, have, own, hold (容纳)等。when, while区别：1. 由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时； 由while引导的时间状语从句，主句用一般过去时，从句应用过去进行时。When the teacher came in, we were talking. 当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为： While we were talking, the teacher came in. 2. 如果从句和主句的动作同时发生，两句都用过去进行时的时候，多用while引导。如： They were singing while we were dancing. 活学活用1. I _ my homework when Mike _ last night. 昨天晚上迈克来的时候我正在写作业。2. While Ann _ TV, her father _ home. 安正在看电视时，她父亲回来了。3. What were you doing when I _ at the door? 我敲门(knock)的时候你在干什么？4. She _ the room when I _ to see her. 我去看她的时候她不是在打扫房间。1. 感觉像2. 首先3. 入睡4. 逐渐变弱5. 确信6. 醒来7. 凌乱8. 清洁9. 互相帮助10. 在困难时期feel likeat firstfall asleepdie downmake surewake up in a messclean up help each otherin times of difficulty 重点句子1.
