Question

After the fall of the Qing Empire, some towns near the west part of the Great Wall ________ and the Wall itself _______.

A.were abandoned … fell into ruin B.abandoned … had fallen into ruin

C.were abandoned … was fallen into ruin D.abandoned … fall into ruin

Answer

A

【解析】

考查时态语态。句意：清朝灭亡后，长城西段的一些城镇被废弃，长城本身也成为了废墟。第一空some towns与abandon之间是被动关系，而且事情发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，第二空fall into ruin是不及物动词短语，没有被动语态，与第一空的动作同发生在过去，用一般过去时，故A项正确。
