【答案与解析】
1. 选C。用现在进行时表示目前的一种状态。
2. 选C。用现在完成时表示影响或结果，即他整个星期都在国外，所以你说你在剧院见过他，你一定是搞错了。
3. 选D。“把书忘在办公室”发生在“去取书”这一过去的动作之前，因此“忘了书”这一动作发生在过去的过去，用过去完成时。句中when表示的是时间的一点，表示在“同学们正忙于……”这一背景下，when所引导的动作发生。因此前一句应用过去进行时。
4. 选D。注意even as 的意思，它表示“正当……的时候”或“恰当……的时候”。
5. 选B。注意下文语境——事实上，我昨天就做完了。从该回答的语气上推测，填空处应填现在完成时态。

一般现在时态的用法:
表示客观真理:客观真理是一种永恒的“习惯”，它比一般的“经常性”更经常——可以看成是一般现在时基本用法的延伸，你说这样理解有道理吗?如:
The earth turns around the sun. 地球绕着太阳转。
Summer follows spring. 春去夏来。
Gases expand when heated. 气体受热即膨胀。
以上三句说的都是客观真理，永远如此，所以都要用一般现在时。
另外，一些格言或谚语由于其客观性很强，所以通常是用一般现在时。如;
Knowledge is power. 知识就是力量。
Actions speak louder than words. 行动胜过言辞。
