关于现在完成式的疑问

问个苯问题,语法基础不好,请nn好心的回答,谢谢!!

 

以下是OG对现在完成式的解释,我的印象中完成式不是只有动作持续至现在,怎么又说完成于过去??21题是说该动持续至现在;另一个却说以完成于过去(这样不是没有持续了吗?)

 

21  It is possible that Native Americans originally have migrated to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that once existed between Siberia and Alaska.

(A)  have migrated to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that once existed

(B)  were migrating to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that existed once

(C)  migrated over a bridge of land to the Western Hemisphere that once existed

(D)  migrated to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that once existed

(E)  were migrating to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land existing once

Verb form +Logical predication

The simple past tenseused to describe an action completed in the pastis required in speaking of Native American migration to the Western Hemisphere

A  The present-perfect verb have migrated implies that the migration is continuing into the present

B  The verb were migrating improperly describes a continuing action in the pastthe adverb once should precede the verb existed

C  The modifying phrase that once existed logically refers to the bridge of landnot the Western Hemispherewhich fortunately for many continues to existThis phrase must be placed immediately following the word or word group that it modifies

D  CorrectThis sentence uses the correct verb tensemigrated, to describe an action completed in the pastthe order of the prepositional phrases makes the meaning clear and 1ogical

E  The verb were migrating is incorrectand the phrase existing once imprecise.

The correct answer is D

24The period when the great painted caves at Lascaux and Altamira were occupied by Upper Paleolithic people has been established by carbon-14 datingbut what is much more difficult to determine are the reason for their decorationthe use to which primitive people put the cavesand the meaning of the magnificently depicted animals

(A)  has been established by carbon-14 datingbut what is much more difficult to determine are

(B)  has been established by carbon-14 datingbut what is much more difficult to determine is

(C)  have been established by carbon-14 datingbut what is much more difficult to determine is

(D)  have been established by carbon-14 datingbut what is much more difficult to determine are

(E)  are established by carbon-14 datingbut that which is much more difficult to determine is

Agreement

The singular subject of the first independent clause is the periodthe singular subject of the second independent clause is what is much more difficult to determineThese singular subjects require the singular verbs has and isIn this sentencethe second verbareis incorrect

A  Are does not agree with what is much more difficult to determine

B  CorrectIn this sentenceboth verbs are singular and therefore correct

C  Have been established does not agree with the period

D  Have been established does not agree with the periodare does not agree with what is much more difficult to determine

E  Are established does not agree with the periodthis verb should be in the present perfect tense to express action completed in the pastthat which construction is ungrammatical

The correct answer is B

你的印象有误。现在完成时可以表示“到目前为止已经完成的动作”。动作分两种,一种可以持续,一种是瞬间动作、不能持续。象24题的动作,“建立”就是瞬间完成的动作。好像“成立”这个动作,我们可以说“1949年新中国成立了”,表明这个动作已经完成了。你不会认为我们至今还在“成立”新中国吧?“成立”这个动作已经完成,并不是说中国就没了,现在的中国应该用“存在”来表述了。明白了吗?

大概了解mm的意思是也就是要看原本动作的特性,就所举例的”建立”,先看他是否是完成于过去,这表示该动作不会一直重复做下去,如果是完成于过去,再看他的结果是否持续到现在

谢谢mm的指导!

真是的,每次遇到时态的题目都不知道要如何下手!!
