5.Diabetes, together with its serious complications, ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only by heart disease and cancer.

为什么一定是current situation 不可以是现在完成时呢？

非常非常的感谢！

赞同楼上的说法~

angelcity

描述自然现象,科学常识,实验结论，统计结果等客观的事实,都用一般现在时,我个人觉得用现在时是这个原因

3ks~ 可能更倾向于表述客观事实~就像3楼说的一样 不会因为一个小细节就决定正确与错误

jaze

这得看你想表达什么意思了吧
用现在时态表示  Diabetes现在还是排第三
用完成时， 则表示，以前可能Diabetes不是排第三， 但是在过去某一个时刻，Diabetes开始排第三了
都可以， 只是正确答案用的是一般现在时而矣
个人意见

谢谢！ 是的~og 上提了一句wrong verb tense 我就有点疑惑~

alannesta

E的主谓不一致，only 的位置不对，一般不会仅仅因为时态决定一个选项

原题如下
5.Diabetes, together with its serious complications, ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only by heart disease and cancer.
