A.was winning
B.was to win
C.had won
D.won
答案
答案:B
题目分析:句意:现在莫言写的小说很畅销,但是几年前没人能够想象出他能获得诺贝尔奖。这里指过去的时候人们对未来的想象,所以用过去将来时,只有was to do可以表示过去将要做的事情,故选B。
点评:本题难度适中。语境中的时态和语态具有灵活多变的特点,因此找出隐含于上下文中的时间信息,正确认定动作行为所发生的时间是解题的关键。
即学即练:---Has Li Lei finished his work today?
--- I have no idea, but he ______ it when I saw him this morning.
A. had done B. would do C. was doing D. did
解析:C。句意:--今天李雷完成他的工作了吗?----我不知道,但我今早看到他时他在工作。根据句意及时间状语when I saw him this morning可知用过去进行时。
