【解析】

试题分析：考查时态。由动词made可知，本句与过去时有关，排除AC项；BD的区别在于过去进行时表示过去某段时间里持续进行的动作，而过去完成时强调过去的过去，强调时间差。本题意为，我过去一直在观察你，你上次冲浪显得 很容易，甚至可以说是优雅。本句表示过去一段时间里一直在做的事，故B正确。

【名师点睛】

在以下几种情况下，我们通常使用过去进行时。

1. 表示过去某一阶段暂时性的习惯动作时。如：

Tom was getting up at six o’clock every day that week. 汤姆那一周里每天都是六点钟起床。

2. 与always连用表示赞美，厌烦等感情色彩时。如： John was always coming to school late. 约翰上学总是迟到。

Lei Feng was always doing good deeds for the people. 雷锋总是为人民做好事。

3. 用来描写故事发生的情景时。如：

It was a dark night. The wind was blowing hard and the rain was falling heavily. A PLA man suddenly appeared on the river bank. He wanted to cross the river.那是一个漆黑的夜晚，风刮得很厉害，雨下得很大，一个解放军战士突然出现在河岸上，他想过河去。

4. when作并列连词，表示“（这时）突然”之意时，第一个并列分句用过去进行时，when引导的并列分句用一般过去时。如：

I was taking a walk when I met him. 我正在散步，突然遇见了他。

We were playing outside when it began to rain. 我们正在外边玩，这时下起雨来了。

5. go, come, leave, start, arrive等动词可用过去进行时表示过去将来的含义。如： I was leaving for Wuhan that day. 那天我正要去武汉。

She was coming later. 她随后就来。

【举一反三】

I called Hannah many times yesterday evening, but I couldn't get through. Her brother __ on the phone all the time.

A. has been talking B. was talking

C. has talked D. talked

答案:B

试题分析：句意：我昨天晚上给汉娜打了几次电话，但一直打不通，他弟弟一直在打电话，说明是昨天晚上我打电话的时候，她的弟弟一直在打电话.用过去进行时，选B。
