B. have been
C. being
D. to be
题目解答
答案
A. would be
解析
本题考查知识点:宾语从句中时态的运用。
解题思路:
- 首先分析句子结构,“The students expected”后面接的是一个宾语从句,即“there ______ more reviewing classes before the college entrance examination”。
- 接着看时间状语“before the college entrance examination”,这表明动作发生在将来。
- 由于主句的谓语动词“expected”是一般过去时,根据宾语从句时态的呼应原则,当主句是一般过去时,从句如果表示将来的动作,要用过去将来时。
- 过去将来时的结构是“would + 动词原形”,“there be”句型的过去将来时就是“there would be”。
- 对各选项进行分析:
- A选项“would be”,符合过去将来时的结构,是正确的。
- B选项“have been”是现在完成时,不符合从句时态要求,所以错误。
- C选项“being”不能单独构成谓语,不能用于此处,所以错误。
- D选项“to be”,“expect to do sth.”是“期望做某事”,但这里是“expect there to be”的结构,不过结合时间状语,这里需要过去将来时,而不是一般现在时的表达,所以错误。
