Question

When the old man recalled the old hard times, he always said, “ It was the first time that I ____ a full meal. I remembered it forever.”

A．have eaten

B．had eaten

C．were eating

D．ate

Answer 1

B

试题分析：考查时态，固定句型It be the first time that…后面的时态用完成时，现在完成时还是过去完成时取决于前面的be动词，如果是is就用现在完成时，如果是was就用过去完成时。句子意思“当老人回想起旧的艰苦岁月时，他总是说第一次吃饱饭，他会永远记得”，所以选B
点评：句子When the old man recalled the old hard times是When引导的时间状语从句，注意When和while的区别：When只跟短暂性动词，而while可以跟短暂性动词也可以跟延续性动词。
