Question

【题目】— What terrible news!

— More than 20 people ________ in traffic accidents ________ last May.

A. have died; for

B. have been dead; since

C. have died; since

D. have been dead; for

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】试题分析：句意：多么可怕的消息！——自去年5月以来有20多人死于交通事故。for后跟时间段，since后跟时间点，last May是时间点，所以用since。Since last May表示的是时间段，不能用短暂性动词die，故答案为B。
