Question

【題目】By the time I got to school, the first play ________ for nearly half an hour.

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

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】

考查時態(tài)。句意：當(dāng)我到達學(xué)校的時候，第一場比賽已經(jīng)持續(xù)了將近半個小時。根據(jù)By the time引導(dǎo)的從句，可知句子用過去完成時態(tài)，再根據(jù)for nearly half an hour，說明此處應(yīng)該用持續(xù)性動詞，begin是終止性動詞，后面不能跟一段時間，故選D。
