Bikes ______ in the 1880s and they ______ traveling around.
A.were invented; were used as
B.were invented; are used for
C.was invented; was used for
D.invented; are used to
答案:B
考查被动语态。句意“自行车是在十九世纪八十年代发明的,它们被用来进行旅游观光。”bike和invent之间是被动关系,故用被动语态,排除D;主语是复数,排除C;be used as“被用作......”;be used for doing sth.“被用来做某事”。故选B。
