Question

The old man feels very _________because all his children have gone abroad and his wife _________ for almost two years.

A．a(chǎn)lone, has died	B．lonely, died
C．lonely, has been dead	D．a(chǎn)lone, has been dead

Answer 1

C

試題分析：alone表示獨(dú)自，一般用作副詞；lonely表示孤獨(dú)的，用作形容詞；通過題干后半部分，我們可以推斷，老人感到孤獨(dú)，故用lonely；他的妻子死了幾乎兩年了，是說的死這種狀態(tài)已經(jīng)兩年了，所以應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，而die是瞬間動(dòng)詞，不表示持續(xù)的動(dòng)作故用be dead。所以本題選C。
點(diǎn)評：應(yīng)該根據(jù)語境，并注意現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)中表示延續(xù)性動(dòng)作的表達(dá)方法。
