选择题
For 800 years Oxford and Cambridge universities ______ in everything from Nobel prizes to boat races.
A.competed
B.had been competing
C.have competed
D.compete
答案
答案:C
题目分析:考查时态。从时间状语For 800 years可以得知要使用现在完成时。故选C。句意:8百年来哈佛和剑桥在各方面都在竞争着,从诺贝尔奖到划船比赛。
点评:时态题的考查要注意关键词,同时要注意具体语境。本题首先确定与过去有关。但根据具体语境强调过去请假的事实,故使用一般过去时的被动语态。
