真题 During recent times / Up until recently / Until recently

dingrhan

大家觉得选哪个好？ Key is B。 为什么？

21. 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 existence, sheltered.

D)       Up until recently, the Inuit people, leading a nomadic existence, have sheltered.

E)       Until recent time, leading a nomadic existence, the Inuit people were sheltered.

Until+点时间, 不可以Until recently, 所以ADE错; C的that are recent是标准的awkward&wordy, 直接用In the recent time就OK.

这题有点疑惑，Longman:Until recently, Anna worked as a teacher in Japan.

Until recently应该是可以的，我想CDE，比较好排除,A,B从纯语法角度似乎都可以，感觉比较大的区别在语义,until recently和during recent times好像是有所不同的。

jnlvo

似乎还是B,During recent times,the Inuit people （其它可能没了，或是不明显)lead a nomadic existence.lead和 are相呼应，更好些。

theITguy

until recently means this has STOPPED

which is against the fact that the igloo is still in Canada

dingrhan

似乎情形明朗一些了，A中的led好像的确是和可以延续到现在的 until recently 以及 后面未划线的 are不协调。还是B好些。

请问AD怎么错了？

A的that are说的是后面的一个客观事实，和前面的时态不冲突啊，另外D怎么不好，虽然意思有点改变，但是也很符合逻辑啊？！

谢谢！

A中led不大好，和recently还有are都有冲突啦

原文中是lead作谓语动词，shelter作伴随状语，而D中把两者调换了，主次中心改变，不好吧。

个人意见，欢迎讨论

diehard

感情上更偏向于A

1 are是在表明一种客观情况

2 B选项中的times是不是硬伤呀，请指教
