D

試題分析：句意:--薩拉，你似乎是有點(diǎn)心不在焉，怎么了?--對(duì)不起，實(shí)際上，我我在想周末的家庭聚會(huì)的事。我不得不列出要買(mǎi)什么東西。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知指的剛才薩拉心不在焉的時(shí)候在想什么，故用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)，現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)表示過(guò)去的動(dòng)作對(duì)現(xiàn)在造成的影響，一般過(guò)去式只表示動(dòng)作發(fā)生在過(guò)去，跟現(xiàn)在沒(méi)有關(guān)系，根據(jù)句意故選D。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題難度適中。動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)的考查與一定的語(yǔ)境結(jié)合一起增加了試題的難度，有的考生時(shí)態(tài)的用法背的很熟，但在不同的語(yǔ)境下，就做不對(duì)了，提醒考生一定要會(huì)分析理解語(yǔ)境。
即學(xué)即練：Experiments of this kind        in both the U.S. and Europe well before the Second World War.
A. have conducted    B. have been conducted  C. had conducted    D. had been conducted
解析：D。句意：“就在二戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)前，美國(guó)和歐洲都進(jìn)行過(guò)這種實(shí)驗(yàn)�！笔紫瓤紤]語(yǔ)態(tài)，主語(yǔ)experiment與conduct構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，謂語(yǔ)使用被動(dòng)形式。題干中出現(xiàn)the second war是過(guò)去的時(shí)間點(diǎn)，before the second war是過(guò)去的過(guò)去，因此使用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。選D。
