[求助]GWD-26-21新手上路

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(D)

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

觉得都不对

如果选A的话，有recently应该同完成时吧

选D的话，up until recently的用法觉得好奇怪阿

很多例句都不需要完成时的:

Mystery in Acambaroid Dinosaurs Survive Until Recently? (Amazon.com)

注意这是本书名.

Until recently, religion and spirituality were deemed as cultural.

Up until recently, New England was characterized by ethnic diversity but significant racial.

当然带完成时的也有,不过应该不是一个必错的用法.

我选A,觉得D的分词短语位置产生意思上的偏差,说现在还是过这种生活,不好.A就只是描述了过去的生活是什么样的.

我觉得这题的关键在于搞清楚句子要说的是Inuit people过着游牧的生活还是住在什么样的房子里。我倾向于选A。

led过去时在A中显得不正确把

D对

igloos, the ice-block domes that are peculiar to north-central Canada, and in structures made of stones, bones, driftwood, and skins.

igloos可以一直保存到现在的,可以用一般时来描述它们.如果为了和主句的过去时在形式上对应而说:igloos...were...,意思就会变成这些东东现在已经不存在了,逻辑意思错.所以A正确,整个句子的意思应该是这些人现在已经定居下来了,生活方式变了,不过住所还是原来的样子.

如果选D,形式上虽然没问题,但意思变成说这些人现在还是居无定所,应该不对.个人意见供参考.

should we use "be sheltered"?

认为D对，觉得句意应该是这些人居无定所的状态延续到现在，因为until recently ,leading,have sheltered 和that are的使用

A感觉反而显得有些前后矛盾
