試題分析：句意：--昨天你們找到在山里失蹤的那對(duì)夫婦了嗎？--沒(méi)有，但是自從那時(shí)我們一直聯(lián)系著他們。因?yàn)檫@里有ever since句子常用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)或現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)，從語(yǔ)境可以看出到現(xiàn)在還未找到所以所以用現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)表示過(guò)去開(kāi)始的動(dòng)作一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在并且要繼續(xù)持續(xù)下去，故選C。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題難度適中。動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)是高考必考的內(nèi)容，它的種類(lèi)多，各種時(shí)態(tài)連用的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)必須牢記，但是考生還需會(huì)分析復(fù)雜的句子成分。
即學(xué)即練：---Isn’t it hard to drive downtown to work?
---Yes, that’s why I___________ to work by train.
A. have been going      B. have gone         C. was going         D. will have gone
解析：A。句意：have been doing現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)，表示到目前為止一直進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或持續(xù)的狀態(tài)。
