Answer 1

分析 房价自1月以来首次上涨

解答 答案：for the first time．考查固定短语．for the first time做时间状语，表示"首次"．

点评 考查汉译英．
the first time的用法．
1．当the first time作连词用，引导一个时间状语从句时，从句一般用过去式，例如：
He fell in love with Mary the first time he saw her．（他对玛丽一见钟情．）
2．当the first time用在"It is/was the first time that…"结构中时，从句一般用完成式．如果前边用"is"，从句用现在完成式；如果前边用"was"，从句用过去完成式．例如：
It is the first time that I have heard the news．这是我第一次听说这个消息．
It was the first time that he had been to Beijing．这是他第一次去北京．
3．for the first time表示"首次；第一次"．相当于副词，做时间状语．
For the first time，we find portraits that really look like us．
有史以来第一次，肖像画看起来真的就像你我一样鲜活．
