Question

【題目】It is reported that over three thousand people________in the recent terrible disease up to now.

A.have diedB.had diedC.were deadD.died

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意；據(jù)報道，到目前為止，已有三千多人死于這場可怕的疾病。

考查時態(tài)。have died已經(jīng)死了，現(xiàn)在完成時；had died已經(jīng)死了，過去完成時；were dead死的，系表結(jié)構(gòu)；died死，過去時；根據(jù)句意理解及句中的現(xiàn)在完成時標(biāo)志詞up to now可知，這里應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在完成，結(jié)構(gòu)是have/ has+過去分詞，而句子主語是people，是復(fù)數(shù)名詞所以這里應(yīng)該用have，故選A。
