问题 选择题

In the past decades, sea ice ______ in the Arctic as a result of global warming.

A.had melted

B.has been melting

C.melted

D.is melting

答案

答案:B

题目分析:考察时态。本题的关键是前面的时间状语In the past decades。只要出现“in the past/last+一段时间”,都要和现在完成时连用。句意:在过去的几十年里,由于全球变暖,北极的海冰一直都在融化。B项的现在完成进行时表示从过去开始一直延续到现在的情况。这一情况符合题意。

点评:英语中的时态主要由动词的形式决定,因此在学习英语时态时,要注意分析动词形式及具体语境,想象在那个特定的时间动作所发生的背景,这个动作是经常性动作、一般性动作、进行性动作、完成性动作还是将要发生的动作。

单项选择题

Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among them his moving "I Have A Dream" speech. But fewer people know much about King’s childhood. M. L., as he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.’s grandfather, the Reverend A. D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, 20 years before M. L. was born. The Reverend Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community since so many people’s lives centered around the church. He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew up in this atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it.
M. L.’s childhood was not especially eventful. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all-black schools in a black neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor, however. Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighborhood that had come to symbolize achievement for Atlanta’s black people. It was an area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers and other black-owned or black-operated businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation, the district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites.

According to the author. M. L. ______.

A.had a difficult childhood

B.was a good musician as a child

C.loved to listen to his grandfather speak

D.grew up in a relatively rich area of Atlanta
