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 times, leading a nomadic existence, the Inuit people
        were sheltered

 

答案是A, 可是为什么不用完成时呢?

我因此选了D

D的症结是不是因为,把原句的重心改了?

个人意见：

until ：longman解释：if something happens until a particular time, it continues and then stops at that time

• 例句：
• Until recently, Anna worked as a teacher in Japan.
• Up until last year, they didn't even own a car.

这个句子是讲，直到最近之前，Inuit人过的是a nomadic existence的生活，言下之意是，现在不是了。

谓语动词应该用过去时态，因此D不对。

并且，D的意思是：Inuit 过去、现在，一直过着 a nomadic existence 的生活，与句子想表达原意有逻辑错误。

这里的sheltering，为什么不是被动修饰因纽特人呢，应该是因纽特人被shelter啊

这里的sheltering表示在...里避难，不及物动词。
