题目内容
12.Nearly half a million immigrants,many of them English-speaking, in the country during the last quarter of the nineteenth century.( )A. | have arrived | B. | had arrived | ||
C. | arrived | D. | have been arriving |
分析 将近有50万移民,他们中有许多会讲英语的,在19世纪的最后一个季度到达了这个国家.
解答 答案:C
分析句子结构可知,句中的主语是"Nearly half a million immigrants",时间状语"during the last quarter of the nineteenth century在十九世纪的最后一个季度"表示的是过去的时间,故此处应表示发生在过去(且现在已经结束)的动作,强调结果,应使用一般过去时;A.现在完成时,表示过去发生并持续到了现在的动作; B.过去完成时,表示过去某时间之前发生的动作; D.现在完成进行时,表示到现在为止一直在进行的动作,这个动作可能将持续下去,也可能已经停止;由于A.B.D都不符合句意,故选C
点评 本题考查了一般过去时的用法.它的难点在于对句中时间状语"during the last quarter of the nineteenth century"即对during的理解上;during通常指的是动作发生的时间点即指"何时";因此,由于本题的时间状语表示的是过去的时间,故应使用一般过去时.
