二、现在完成时
现在完成时表示到现在为止的一段时间内发生情况,强调对现在的影响,可能是已完成的动作,也可表示多次动作的总和,或习惯性的行为和持续的动作,句末常跟一个表示到现在为止这段时间的状语。
The domestic dog, considered to be the first tamed animal, with human beings since the days of the cave dwellers (居住者).
A) is coexisting B) has coexisted
C) coexisted D) had coexisted
B 为正确答案。应改为现在完成时 has coexisted,因为本句表示到现在为止这段时间内发生的情况(持续性的),最关键的是抓住句中的状语“since⋯ dwellers”(自从⋯到现在)。
Intustrial management is the aspect of business management that
most prominent in the United States for the past eight years.
A) was B) is
C) had been D) has been
D 为正确答案。理由同上,注意本句的时间状语 for the past eight years ( 在过去 8 年中)。
