    C

    It’s six years since his father had died.

    D

    It has been two years since his father’s death.


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    考查动词的时态。C选项中的固定句型：“It’s/ It has been＋一段时间＋since＋时间状语从句”，译作“自从……以来，已经……(时间)了”。要求：主句的谓语动词用一般现在时或现在完成时；从句的谓语动词用一般过去时，而且须是终止性动词。所以C选项中since后面的过去完成时应改为一般过去时。

  • 第19题：

    The film___________ for half an hour when I got to the cinema.

    A.began
    B.begun
    C.had begun
    D.had been on

    答案：D
    解析：
    此句是由when引导的时间状语从句，表示“当……的时候”，相当于“at the momentwhen”，从句用一般过去式，主句就要相应地变化为过去完成时；began是个短暂性动词，不能和for连用，故应选D项。

  • 第20题：

    He( )with Smith at least four times in the past three years.

    A.has been seen to meet
    B.was seen to meet
    C.had been seen meeting
    D.is seen meeting

    答案：A
    解析：
    考查完成时的被动语态。由时间状语in the past three years可知，本句用完成时态。且本句he作主语，应为he was seen to meet，两个时态加在一起可知，A为正确答案。故本题选A。句意：在过去三年中，有人看见他与史密斯会面至少四次。

  • 第23题：

    单选题
    Mrs. Green ______ in this university for more than 20 years when she retired from work last month.
    A

    has taught

    B

    had been teaching

    C

    has been teaching

    D

    had been taught


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    句意；当格林女士上个月退休时，她已经在这所大学教书超过20年了。当从句为一般过去时时，主句应为过去完成时，又因为主句中的teach为延续性动词，且从20多年前一直到上个月才停止，故主句应使用过去完成进行时，故B正确。

  • 第24题：

    单选题
    Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because _____.
    A

    they had never treated the disease before

    B

    Lorenzo was too young to be cured

    C

    no cure had been found for ALD

    D

    ALD was a rare disease


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    细节题。为什么医生断定Lorenzo三年内会死亡？由文中第一段第二句话可知，医生解释说“there was no cure for ALD”，目前还没有治愈ALD的药。C项直接引用，意思与之相同，故为正确答案。他们之前不是没有治过这种病，只是没有治好，A项错误。B项只是说他太年轻，这种病一直无法治愈，跟他是否年轻没有关系。D项只是陈述了该病罕见这一事实，并没有说明死亡的原因。
