答案及解析：
1. D the last time在此做连词，引导状语从句，该句应译成：上次看到他时，他在地里采棉花。谓语动词用的是see，因此该句给我们一个短暂或某一时刻的感觉。应用进行态，进行态常用来表示动作的暂时性。
2. B
3. A 主从句都是将来时，从句用一般时，主句用将来时。注意can, must, may, to be able to这些情态动词都是表示将来时。
4. C feel是系动词。
5. C 进行态表示暂时性。
6. A
7. B
8. D 表示目前的状况。
9. B at this time表示一个短暂的时间，所以用进行态。
10. C 此句用was going to或would都应该是对的，但是was going to有打算的意思，而would表示将要的意思，从第一句看出，他实际上没有去成，was going to只是一种打算，所以应选C。
11. A 特别强调目前的状态，用进行时。
