Question

【题目】the film for fifteen minutes when I got to the cinema.

A.has begunB.had begunC.has been onD.had been on

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】

句意：我到电影院时，电影已经上映十五分钟了。

A. has begun已经开始，现在完成时，短暂动词；B. had begun已经开始，过去完成时，短暂性动词；C. has been on已经开始，现在完成时，持续性；D. had been on已经开始，过去完成时，持续性。根据for fifteen minutes可知谓语动词必须是持续性，排除AB；根据when I got to the cinema.可知，主句的电影开始发生在我到达电影院之前，用过去完成时，这里用had been on。根据题意，故选D。
