Question

The novels written by Mo Yan sell best now, but years ago no one could have imagined he _____ the Nobel Prize for Literature.

A．was winning	B．was to win
C．had won	D．won

Answer 1

B

试题分析：句意:现在莫言写的小说很畅销，但是几年前没人能够想象出他能获得诺贝尔奖。这里指过去的时候人们对未来的想象，所以用过去将来时，只有was to do可以表示过去将要做的事情，故选B。
点评：本题难度适中。语境中的时态和语态具有灵活多变的特点，因此找出隐含于上下文中的时间信息，正确认定动作行为所发生的时间是解题的关键。
即学即练：---Has Li Lei finished his work today?
--- I have no idea, but he ______ it when I saw him this morning.
A. had done   B. would do   C. was doing  D. did
解析：C。句意：--今天李雷完成他的工作了吗？----我不知道，但我今早看到他时他在工作。根据句意及时间状语when I saw him this morning可知用过去进行时。
