A．reads B．has read C．was reading D．is reading
【答案】C
【详解】句意：大卫在读报纸的时候睡着了。
考查时态的用法。根据“David fell fast asleep while he…a newspaper”可知，while引导时间状语从句，主句用一般过去时，从句用过去进行时，其构成为was/were doing。故选C。
2．________ I was studying in the library, Mike called me.
A．Before B．If C．Because D．While
【答案】D
【详解】句意：当我在图书馆学习时，迈克打电话给我。
考查连词辨析。Before在……之前；If如果；Because因为；While当……时。根据“... I was studying in the library, Mike called me.”可知此处表示当某事正在进行的时候，另一件事情发生了，用While引导时间状语从句。故选D。
3．While I ________ my breakfast, the postman came and brought me the newspaper.
A．am having B．was having C．have had D．had
【答案】B
【详解】句意：当我正在吃早餐时，邮递员给我送来了报纸。
考查过去进行时。根据“While I...my breakfast, the postman came and brought me the newspaper.”可知，主句“the postman came and brought me the newspaper”的时态是一般过去时，而“While I...my breakfast”为由while引导的时间状语从句，从句中的谓语动词为延续性动词have，所以此时从句应用过去进行时，谓语结构是was/were doing，从句的主语是I，此时be动词应用was。故选B。
4．—How do you like the food
—_______. It’s not delicious at all.
A．I can’t stand it B．I don’t mind it C．I like it very much
【答案】A

考查情景交际。I can’t stand it我不能忍受；I don’t mind it我不介意；I like it very much我非常喜欢。根据“It’s not delicious at all.”可知，不好吃，所以空处应是说无法忍受，故选A。

二、用所给单词的正确形式填空
19．After the earthquake, Timmy stayed (live).
【答案】alive
【详解】句意：地震后，蒂米还活着。live是动词，此处是表示一种状态，应用形容词作表语，alive“活着的”符合语境，故填alive。

【答案】was watching
【详解】句意：当我奶奶正在看歌剧时，我爸爸正在看报纸。根据“My father was reading newspapers while my grandma...an opera.”和提示词汇可知，句子为while引导的时间状语从句，我奶奶正在看歌剧时，爸爸正在看报纸，主句与从句的动作同时发生，主句为过去进行时，遵循主过从必过原则，从句时态为过去进行时，谓语用“was/were+现在分词”的结构，主语为my grandma，单数，be动词用was，watching为动词watch的现在分词。故填was watching。
23．Alice was laughing and joking, but her sister remained (silence).
【答案】silent
