Question

【题目】—You didn’t watch the movie?

—Yes, but by the time I ______ to the cinema, the movie ______ for several minutes.

A. got; has begun B. got; had been on

C. got; had begun D. got; has been on

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

句意：-你没有看这部电影吗？-不，我看了，但是当我到达电影院的时候，电影已经开始好几分钟了。got到达，过去式；has begun现在完成时；had been on过去完成时，系表结构；had begun过去完成时；has been on现在完成时。结合本题语境可知，在我倒电影院之前，电影已经开始几分钟了。当by the time后的从句用一般过去时，主句要用过去完成时，再结合for several minutes可知，要用延续性的had been on。故选B。
