—No, but we ______ to get in touch with them ever since.
A.had tried
B.have tried
C.have been trying
D.had been trying
答案
答案:C
题目分析:句意:--昨天你们找到在山里失踪的那对夫妇了吗?--没有,但是自从那时我们一直联系着他们。因为这里有ever since句子常用现在完成时或现在完成进行时,从语境可以看出到现在还未找到所以所以用现在完成进行时表示过去开始的动作一直持续到现在并且要继续持续下去,故选C。
点评:本题难度适中。动词时态是高考必考的内容,它的种类多,各种时态连用的时间状语必须牢记,但是考生还需会分析复杂的句子成分。
