一、现在进行时表示现在或现阶段正在进行或发生的动作。
现在进行时主动式由“be +现在分词”,而被动结构由“am/ is/ are+ being+过去分词”构成。

A.phone B.will phone
C.were phoning D.are phoning
【解析】由句中语境可以判断,我赢得大奖这一事件对现在造成了影响,现在不断有人打电话来问我将怎么来花这些钱,所以应用现在进行时,故答案选【D】。

Your forehead________hot,so I guess you________ a fever.
A.feels;have got B.is feeling;have
C.is felt;are having D.has felt;have got
【解析】第一空中feel是表示感觉的动词,不用进行时,陈述的是现在的事实,所以用一般现在时,而第二空表示过去发生的动作对现在造成了影响,所以用现在完成时,故答案选【A】。
二、现在进行时可用来表示近期特定的安排计划。一些短暂性动词如:go,come,start,leave,move,return等和延续性动词如:play,stay,fly等用进行时可表示将来时。
(1)Because the shop________ ,all the T-shirts are sold at half price.(04浙江卷)

【解析】close down 是短暂性动词,表示现在正在发生的动作对将来可能造成影响,故答案选【C】。
(2) Who are you playing the game with? 你们将和谁比赛?
【注意】(1) 进行时和always,forever,continually,constantly,instantly,continuously等频度副词连用,表示经常、反复发生的动作。表达说话者厌烦、愤怒、抱怨、赞扬等情感,不强调动作的进行性。
He is such a man who is always finding fault with other people.(表责怪)
Theyre forever quarrelling about something.(表不满)
(2) 少数动词用进行时的主动式表示被动含义,这时句子的主语必须是无生命的物体。如:build ,print,cook ,hang ,fry ,make 。
