这题的乱码很多额 还是复制一下比较好看出来 All Y chromosomes in existence today are descended from a single ancestor’s who is thought to have lived about 140,000 years ago. A. a single ancestor’s who is thought to have lived B. a single ancestor’s who was thought to live C. a single ancestor whom it is thought had lived D. the Y chromosome of a single ancestor who is thought to have lived E. the Y chromosome of a single ancestor whom it was thought had lived 这题翻译过来是这样的，“现在所有的Y染色体都是来自于同一个祖先的染色体，这个祖先被认为生活在140000年以前” 由于染色体是来自于染色体，所以看懂题意以后就可以排除ABC 而时态问题，是这样的，is thought是必须的，不能用was thought，因为though动作发生的时间是现在，而不是以前，所以一定要用现在时 这题的亮点是后面live的时态，开始我一直认为live应该用过去式，因为祖先不可能到现在还活着从而需要用have lived，后来琢磨琢磨，才明白原来如果is thought去掉的话，原本的时态应该是had lived的，就是说，在140000年以前ancestor就已经存在了作者: naiad1981 时间: 2010-1-11 21:23
