易错警示
4. 本题极易误选A,学生混淆hear sb. do sth.(听到某人做了某事)和hear sb. doing sth.(听到某人正在做某事),句中有过去具体时间点,强调正在进行。
解析：
【分析】本题考查感官动词hear的固定搭配用法，需结合时间状语判断非谓语形式。首先明确hear的两个核心搭配：hear sb. do sth.（听到某人做了某事，强调动作全过程）和hear sb. doing sth.（听到某人正在做某事，强调动作正在进行）。题目中“this time yesterday”是过去具体时间点，强调当时动作正在发生，因此需选doing形式的选项。
【解析】感官动词hear有两个常用固定搭配：①hear sb. do sth.：表示听到某人完成了某个动作，侧重动作的完整性；②hear sb. doing sth.：表示听到某人正在做某个动作，侧重动作正在进行。本题时间状语“this time yesterday”（昨天这个时候）明确指向过去某一具体时刻，强调当时动作正在发生，因此应使用hear sb. doing sth.的结构，对应选项D。
【答案】D
【知识点】非谓语动词；固定搭配
【点评】本题为易错题，易错点在于混淆hear的两种搭配用法，需结合时间状语（具体时刻）判断动作的时态属性，进而确定正确的非谓语形式。
