Answer 1

B
此題考查時(shí)態(tài)的活用．Bob, you are so absent-minded．意為“Bob，你這么心不在焉．”實(shí)際上暗含責(zé)備的意思．回答說(shuō)明“沒(méi)有注意聽(tīng)講”的動(dòng)作已經(jīng)發(fā)生了，且這個(gè)動(dòng)作現(xiàn)在剛剛結(jié)束，時(shí)間為“瞬間過(guò)去”，故應(yīng)用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)．“瞬間過(guò)去”往往是通過(guò)上下文語(yǔ)境表示．時(shí)態(tài)選擇題一定要注意體會(huì)特定的語(yǔ)境．
