Answer 1

C
試題分析：考查時(shí)態(tài)及被動(dòng)語態(tài)的用法。句中前半句中的could 并非是過去時(shí)態(tài)，而是對現(xiàn)在的一種推測，因此由后半句中的at the moment“現(xiàn)在，目前”這一時(shí)間狀語可確定時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，又由于房子與裝修之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)。本句的意思是“一般地說你可以和我在一起，而我們家的房子目前正在裝修”。故選C
考點(diǎn)：考查時(shí)態(tài)、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表推測及被動(dòng)語態(tài)的用法。
點(diǎn)評：命題者在于考查學(xué)生容易出錯(cuò)點(diǎn)，學(xué)生看到了could認(rèn)為是過去式，誤選D，could表示推測學(xué)生容易忽視。
即學(xué)即練：The sports meeting ______in our school now.
A.is being held    B. was held C. is held D. was being held
解析：A   句意：我校正在舉行運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)。
