Question

【题目】—Today’s newspaper says John B. Goodenough, with another two scientists, ________ this year’s Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

—Yes. And this 97-year-old scientist is the oldest Nobel Prize winner so far.

A.gaveB.was givenC.were given

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

句意：——今天的报纸上说John B. Goodenough和另外两个科学家一起，被授予今年的诺贝尔化学奖。——是的。且这位97岁的科学家是目前为止年纪最大的诺贝尔奖获得者。

考查一般过去时的被动语态。根据题意可知John B. Goodenough是诺贝尔奖获得者，与give之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态，一般过去时的被动语态结构为“was/were done”；主语John B. Goodenough是单数，be动词用was。故选B。
