这是个时态的问题，在第一册59课《Is that all?》有一句话：“听录音，然后回答问题。这位女士有没有买粉笔？”在我看来，这句话应该有三种时态，请看：
听录音，然后回答问题。自始自终，这位女士有没有买粉笔？（一般现在时）。
听录音，然后回答问题。等一会儿，这位女士有没有买粉笔？（一般将来时）。
听录音，然后回答问题。在这段往事里，这位女士有没有买粉笔？（一般过去时）。
假如让你去表达去问，你会如何说，用什么时态？如果让我去问的话，我倾向于用一般过去时，而原文则用了一般现在时：（Does the lady buy any chalk?）它的理由根据是什么？
有人说，这是就课文内容提问，整篇课文都是一般现在时，所以得用一般现在时提问；又有人说，这是听力的问题，听力的问题都是一般现在时。好像有道理，但是如果这些能说得通的话，为什么lesson89《For sale》的提问却采用了一般过去时：（Why couldn't Nigel decide?）这又作何解释呢？
类似的问题还有，lesson９３提问句：（为什么说奈杰尔很辛运？）奈杰尔是个飞行员，他很幸运，指的是他从出世到今时今日都很辛运，那以后呢？会不会飞机失事，从天上掉下来，天知晓。所以这一提问句必定是个过去时，但原文：（Why is Nigel a lucky man?）这又是一个疑问。
以下是三篇课文的原文：

新概念英语1、2册课文基本上都设定了情景，所以原则上应按情景提问。老师和学生在学习此书的课文时，以某种方式置身情景现场。目睹全过程后，对某一事实提问。这种提问可用一般现在时、现在完成时、一般过去时，甚至一般将来时或虚拟语气。
1. 此解释有点道理。就本篇课文而言，因为已“置身现场”，提问者对该问题可以用一般现在时代替现在完成时和过去时表达刚刚过去的一个事实，同时避免对答案给出任何暗示，这是英语口语的特点 ...
