Question

---Are you two old acquaintances?
---Yes, we _____ in the same neighborhood for quite a long time, though he went abroad with his family at 14.

A．have lived

B．have been living

C．were living

D．lived

Answer 1

D

试题分析：因为他在14岁时和他的家人出国了，所以他们两个住在同一小区应是过去的事了。have been living表示从过去一直到现在都在这一个小区居住，显然不符合语意。故选D。
点评：本题难度适中。动词时态是近几年高考必考的内容。需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力，必须会根据语境或已给动词的形式来判断动词的时态。
即学即练：—How long ________ at this job? 
—Since 1990. 
A.were you employed       B.have you been employed
C.had you been employed      D.will you be employed 
解析：B。本句用完成时当无疑问，值得注意的是后面的结构是系表结构表状态，不是被动语态。
