The real reason why prices ____ , and st...

The real reason why prices ____ , and still are, too high is complex, and no short discussion can satisfactorily explain this problem.

A. were              B. will be

C. have been          D. had been

 

A 【解析】 试题分析:本题考查动词时态。 结合句意“过去价格太高,现在仍然太高的原因很复杂...”可知,此处 and 连接两个并列的系动词,后者是对现在事实的描述,为一般现在时;前者是对过去事实的描述,应用一般过去时,又主语 prices 为复数,故用系动词用 were,A项正确。will be 为一般将来时,have been 为现在完成时,had been 为过去完成时,均不符合句子时态。故正确答案为A。 考点:考查动词时态 【名师点睛】做时态题时,考生应抓住时态标志词,即题干中明显的时间状语或已有动词的时态,利用时态呼应的原则迅速锁定正确答案。本题中已有动词的时态为一般现在时,still暗示前面用一般过去时与此呼应。C项容易误选,这里现在完成时表示从过去到现在一直是这种状态,包括了现在,与后面的一般现在时有重复部分,故排除。
