Question

【题目】— I ______ to get a driving license these years but without success.

— It’s rather difficult nowadays.

A. have been attempted B. have been attempting

C. am attempting D. was attempting

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】试题分析：考查动词体态与语态辨析。A. have been attempted，现在完成功时的被动形式；B. have been attempting，现在完成进行式；C. am attempting，现在进行式；D. was attempting，过去进行式。句意—这些年我一直在尝试着考到驾照，但没有成功。—现在它是相当困难的。attempt to do尝试做，尽力做；根据these years可知表示一直在进行的事情，故要用进行式，再根据句意可判这件事从过去就发生了，一直持续到现在，所以用现在完成时的进行式更符合句意。故选B。
