17. GWD25-Q17

Until recently, the Inuit people led a nomadic existence, sheltering in

igloos, the ice-block domes that are peculiar to north-central Canada,

and in structures made of stones, bones, driftwood, and skins.

A.     Until recently, the Inuit people led a nomadic existence, sheltering

B.     During recent times, the Inuit people lead a nomadic existence,

sheltering.

C.     In the times that are recent, the Inuit people led a nomadic exis-

tence, sheltered.

D.     Up until recently, the Inuit people, leading a nomadic exis-

tence, have sheltered.

E.      Until recent times, leading a nomadic existence, the Inuit people

were sheltered.ANS：A

why A?我选了E,我怎么觉得E更好，untill recent times没有错呀，顺便问问shelter怎么翻译，似乎有很多种？

vote for A : there is nothing wrong in A  ; until recently可以用过去式也可以用完成时

D：Up until recently错； 而且shelter是因纽特人一直存在的生活方式，并没有终止，也不是由以前另一种生活方式转变而来的所以用完成时不符合逻辑意思。

E:  Until recent times也错，而且were sheltered是被动的，搞错了！

弱弱的问一句:  up until recently是带有终止的意思吗?能否给个例句?

D：Up until recently错； ??为什么啊？

我觉得完成时表达的是时间迄今为止，不一定强调动作终止吧，而是持续到现在啊

如果要表示客观现实也应该是用一般现在而非一般将来阿~！！

D 哪里错了？？

感觉D把句子中心给变了，原句sheltering...是led a nomadic existence的伴随动作说明。D把led a nomadic existence变成了Inuit people 的修饰语
