再问og 90

90.Since 1986, when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.
(A) investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began
(B) investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began
(C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun
(D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun
(E) that investment officers’ fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

答案是D。如果看since这个时态标记，用现在完成时是没有问题的。但是记得begin是个瞬间动词，可以用现在完成时吗？

请教

我个人认为，BEGIN是可以用完成时的，只要不和FOR A PERIOD 这样的表示一段时间的短语连接即可。

有没有字典的解释？因为我手边没有好的字典

以下是引用siebel在2003-5-4 11:47:00的发言：

begin做开始讲，是瞬间动词；但是，begin还有另一个意思：处于筹备到完成的过程之中，那就是非瞬间动词了。中文可以翻译成：一些公司已经开始着手ｘｘｘ。
