過去進行時用法一得

有這樣一道題：

I don’t think Jim saw me; he __________ into space.

A. just stared                                       B. was just staring 

C. has just stared                                 D. had just stared

【分析】此題應選B。主要考查動詞過去進行時的基本用法(即動作在過去某一時刻正在進行)。此題的上文設置比較巧妙：前面的主句用了I don’t think(指現在的看法)，而其后的賓語從句用的是saw(指過去的動作)，也就是說此題的語境是：現在談論過去的情況，全句意為：我認為吉姆當時沒看見我，(因為)他當時正在朝天空看。
