Question

【题目】During the Spring Festival, the young a kowtow（磕头） to the elders, but now they only give them best wishes.

A. used to give B. were used to give C. were used to giving

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：春节期间，年轻人过去常常向长辈磕头，但现在他们只给了他们最好的祝愿。考查动词时态辨析题。used to do过去常常做某事，固定结构，本身是一般过去时。but表转折，本句是现在和过去对比，而be used to习惯于某事，表示现在的状态，介词to后面只能跟名词、代词或动名词，可排除B、C两项。根据句意语境，可知选A。
