Question

【题目】More than 80 people ______ in the earthquake ______ last week.
A.died; for
B.have been dead ; since
C.have died; since
D.have been dead; for

Answer 1

【答案】C
【解析】句意：自从上个周有超过80人在地震中伤生。for+时间段；since+时间点，自从……时起，主句用现在完成时，句中的时间状语last week是时间点，故用since。本句并非表示“死亡”这个状态的延续，而是指从过去某一时间到现在“死亡”这个动作发生了多少次，所以选C符合语境。
