单选题 I was just about ______ the office when the telephone rang.
  • A. leaving
  • B. to be tearing
  • C. leave
  • D. to leave
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】本句的意思是:我刚刚要离开办公室,电话铃响了。be about后面接不定式,表示“刚刚要……”。再如:I was about to jump over the small ditch when I fell over a stone.我刚要跳过一个小水沟,突然摔倒了。“be+to do'’与be abou t to do的意思完全一样,要注意区别,如:He was about to lock the door when he suddenly remembered that he had left the key on his desk.他刚要锁门,突然记起把钥匙忘在桌子上了。The president is to visit five African countries.总统计划访问非洲五国。
