試題分析：你知道昨天八點(diǎn)整米莉和安迪正在做什么嗎？——是的。當(dāng)米莉正在看電視時(shí)，安迪正在臥室讀書。結(jié)合語境可知下文描述的是過去某時(shí)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作，故用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)。While引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作的同時(shí)發(fā)生，選A。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：英語中的時(shí)態(tài)主要是借助于時(shí)間狀語與上下文語境來進(jìn)行判斷。解答此類題型，首先要注意句子中的時(shí)間狀語，如果沒有則要通過分析上下文，結(jié)合語境來判斷句子的時(shí)態(tài)。
