答案
C. do they
解析
本题考查反意疑问句的用法。解题思路如下:
- 首先明确反意疑问句的规则:反意疑问句由“陈述句 + 简短疑问句”构成,遵循“前肯后否,前否后肯”的原则。
- 分析题目中的陈述句 “They haven't much chance of getting there at five”,这里 “haven't” 并非是现在完成时中的助动词,而是 “have” 的否定形式,“have” 在这里是实义动词,表示“有”。
- 当陈述句的谓语是实义动词时,简短疑问句要借助助动词 “do” 或 “does” 来构成。因为主语 “They” 是复数,所以用 “do”。
- 根据“前否后肯”原则,陈述句是否定句,简短疑问句要用肯定形式,即 “do they”。
