Question

—Is the old man still alive?

— I'm sorry he's _________. He _________ one week ago.

A.died ... dead B.dead ... died

C.dead ... was died D.died ... was dead

Answer

B

【解析】

句意：——这个老人还活着吗？——很抱歉他死了。他一周前死的。

考查形容词和动词。A. died ... dead动词die的过去式；形容词，死的；B. dead ... died形容词，死的；动词die的过去式；C. dead ... was died形容词，死的；die是不及物动词，不能用作被动语态；D. died ... was dead前者表示的动作，后者表示“死”的状态。根据句意空一表示“死”的状态，应用形容词dead；空二根据时间状语one week ago的提示，句子应用一般过去式，表示动作发生的时间，所以用动词die的过去式died，故选B。
