The palace caught fire three times in the last century, and little of the original building ________ now.
A. remains
B. is remained
C. is remaining
D. has been remained
题目解答
答案
A. remains
解析
本题考查动词的时态和主谓一致。解题关键在于：
- 判断句子时态：后半句描述的是现在的状态，应使用一般现在时；
- 主谓一致：主语
little of the original building是单数概念，谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式； - 动词用法：
remain是系动词，不可用于被动语态，且一般不用于进行时或完成时。
选项分析
-
A. remains
正确。remain为系动词，表示“仍然存在”，符合主谓一致（单数主语+第三人称单数动词）。 -
B. is remained
错误。remain是系动词，不可用于被动语态（如be remained）。 -
C. is remaining
错误。is remaining为现在进行时，但句中描述的是客观状态，非动作过程。 -
D. has been remained
错误。remain一般不用于完成时，且被动语态使用错误。
