Question

Kobe Bryant (科比·布莱恩特) was killed in a helicopter crash (碰撞) in Calabasas. He ________ for over 4 months.

A.died B.has died C.has been died D.has been dead

Answer

D

【解析】

句意：科比在卡拉巴斯死于空难。他已经死了超过4个月了。

考查时态。died 一般过去时；has died 现在完成时；has been died 现在完成时态被动式；has been dead 现在完成时。根据for over 4 months 表示一段时间，是现在完成时态的标志短语；且die是一个短暂性动词，不能和一段时间连用，应用延续性动词。其延续性形式为be dead。故选D。
