Question

【题目】— We ________ of gas. I’m afraid we can’t go much further.

— I know there’s a gas station ahead. Will it last until we get there?

A. run out B. have run out

C. are running out D. had run out

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词时态的用法。由下句答语大意：我知道前方有一个加油站，车还能坚持到我们到那里吗？可以推测，问句说的内容应该是表示将来，我们的车马上快用完油了，我们恐怕走不了多远了。A. run out 一般现在时，表示现在 B. have run out现在完成时，表示过去的动作对现在的影响 C. are running out 现在进行时表示将来 D. had run out 过去完成时，表示过去的过去。故选C。
