Q17:

Fossils of a whale that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and was subsequently butchered by hominids have been recovered by paleontologists.

A. that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and was subsequently butchered by hominids have

B. that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and then was subsequently butchered by hominids has

C. that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago, which was subsequently butchered by hominids, has

D. having been beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and subsequently butchered by hominids, have

E. having beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and then subsequently were butchered by hominids have

正确选项是A，我选的是E。

好象都没有人选过E。看来错的离谱了。

我选E的原因在于XDF讲课时说过只要是出现从现在为基点，往前推一段时间的句子全用现在完成时，举的例如:with the last century, than ever before possible,等等

请问“百万年前”如果理解成从现在开始往前推一百万年的话，是不是应该用现在完成时呢？已经做了好几道题出现了这个问题，恳请NN们帮我解疑！！！！

分词形式的现在完成时在ＥＴＳ是很少使用的（我好像没见过），一般不要选。

并且，想想，分词有表示伴随进行的作用，又完成又伴随进行，好像有点别扭
