8. When she arrived, I felt a little angry, because I ___ since seven o'clock.

A. have been waited

B. had been waiting

C. were waiting

题目解答

答案

B. had been waiting

解析

本题考查知识点为时态的运用，，解题思路如下：

  1. 首先分析句子的语境，“When she arrived arrived”表明这是一个过去的时间点，而“since seven o'clock”表示从过去的某个时间点一直持续到“she arrived”这个时间点。
  2. 对于这种从过去持续到过去某个时间点的动作，需要使用过去完成时态。过去完成时态的结构是“had + 过去分词”。
  3. 接着看选项，A选项“have been waited”是现在完成时的被动语态错误形式，现在完成时应该是“have been waiting” ，且不符合句子的过去语境。
  4. B选项“had been waiting”是过去完成时的结构，“had been waiting”表示从过去的某个时间点一直持续到过去的“arrived”这个时间点，符合句子的语境。
  5. C选项“were waiting”是过去进行时，过去进行时表示在过去某个时间点正在进行的动作，而不是从过去某个时间点一直持续到过去某个时间点，不符合句子“since seven o'clock”的语境。
