Question

—Mr. Wang got the first prize in the singing competition last week.

—Oh. That’s what he ____ for years.

　 A. had been expecting　 B. has expected C. expected　 D. has been expecting

 

Answer 1

A

句意: 王先生在上周的歌唱比赛中获得了一等奖。——噢, 那是他多年的夙愿。首先考虑本题说的是过去的事, 故用过去时, 排除B、D两项; 说话者要表示 “王先生在获得一等奖前一直期望获奖”, 故用过去完成进行时。
