Question

The play had already been on for quite some time when we ______ at the New Theatre.

1. A.
   have arrived
2. B.
   arrived
3. C.
   had arrived
4. D.
   arrive

Answer 1

B
解析：
句意：当我们到达New Theatre的时候，戏已经上演了相当一段时间。此事是已经发生的事情，故从B和C中选出一个正确选项。我们到达在开演之后，不能再用过去完成时，故B选项是正确的。本题考查的是过去完成时和一般过去时的用法，应分清动作发生的先后顺序。
