问题 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。

即学即练:By the time you arrive in London, we _____ in Europe for two weeks.

A. had stayed      B. shall stay       C. will have stayed        D.have been staying

选C
