问题补充:
单选题Thebridge,which_________1688,needsrepairing.A.is dated fromB.was dated fromC.dates fromD.dated from
答案:
C解析因为 date from 的意思是“自某时起存在至今”(=have existed since),它通常用于一般现在时,而不用过去时态(尽管其后接的总是表示过去的时间)。但若所谈论的东西现在已不复存在,则可用一般过去时。如:The church, which dated from the 13th century, was destroyed in an earthquake two years ago.那座教堂是13世纪建成的,两年前在一次地震中被毁了。
