71. Along the major rivers that traverse the deserts of northeast Africa, the Middle East, and, northwest India, the combination of a reliable supply of water and good growing conditions both encouraged farming traditions that, in places, endure in at least
6,000 years.
(A) good growing conditions both encouraged farming traditions that, in places, endure in
(B) good growing conditions encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, endured for
(C) of good growing conditions have encouraged farming traditions that, in places, endured for
(D) of good growing conditions both encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, endured
(E) of good growing conditions encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, been enduring for
答案选B,只有一个问题,E选项里have been enduing 哪里用错了OG解释是语法上对的,但是意思上不对。 但是我觉得意思没错啊,at least 6000 years 也不一定说现在就没再用啊,比如说西安的城墙到现在为止at least 1000 years但是现在还好啊,为什么意思不对呢,请赐教啊
总结下前面大神的,不能用have been enduring ,有两个原因:
1, 动作并没有持续到现在(前面encouraged )
2. endure 本身就有持续的意思,所以have been enduring 就重复了。
在曼哈顿里面有明确说明,have done 可以表示一个动作已经结束,但是对现在还是有影响的。
比如: The boy has drawn a square in the sand.
( the boy is no longer in the act of drawing, but the square is still there. If the square has disappeared, use simple past.
关于E选项
E: have been enduring
have been + VERBing serves to express a CONTINUOUS ACTION.
Here, to endure means TO LAST.
To last is an action that -- on its own -- is continuous.
Since to endure on its own conveys a continuous action, the use of a continous tense seems redundant.
为啥讨论这么多呢,OG里不是说 the use of present perfect progressive is not grammatically incorrect, but it is rhetorically inappropriate and sounds exaggerated... 就是嫌弃完成进行时有点过了、强调的力量有点重
growing conditions encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, been enduring having been done/having done——要求不能做定语,这题that having作定语修饰修饰farming traditions错错错
