题目内容
The festival __________ for almost a month.
- A.have been on
- B.has been on
- C.began
- D.begun
试题分析：on和begin都可以表示开始，区别是前者表示状态，用作表语。后者表示瞬间动作，用作谓语。句意：节日已经开始将近一个月了。结合语境可知本句描述的是现在已经完成的动作，故用现在完成时态，主语The festival表示抽象含义，不可数，故助动词用单数，选B。
考点：完成时态及动词用法
点评：英语中的时态主要是借助于时间状语与上下文语境来进行判断。解答此类题型，首先要注意句子中的时间状语，如果没有则要通过分析上下文，结合语境来判断句子的时态。完成时态中的动词有瞬间动词和持续性动词之分，瞬间动词的过去分词强调的是动作的完成，持续性动词强调的是动作的持续性。现在完成时态中表示一段时间的时间状语不能和瞬间动词连用，持续性动词不能和表示瞬间时间的时间状语连用，需注意区分。
