Cole Bettles ______ by a number of universities when he received an e-mail from the University of California last month.
A.had been rejected B.has been rejected C.has rejected D.was rejecting
A
【解析】
试题分析：考查时态。had been rejected是过去完成时，表示在过去某一时间以前完成的动作，也就是发生在过去的过去；has been rejected，has rejected 现在完成时，表示在现在以前完成的动作；was rejecting过去进行时态表示过去某一时间内正在进行的动作。句意是当在上个月收到来自加利福尼亚大学的邮件时，Cole Bettles已经被很多大学拒绝了。had been rejected发生在received之前，所以用过去完成时态，故选A。
考点：考查时态。
点评：时态问题是常考题，做此类题考生要对题干进行分析，根据题干所提供的时间信息确定时态，考生要加强对各种时态的功能的理解。

Toronto---A pleasant attitude can do wonders for patients’recovery, according to researchers who reviewed 16 studies that looked at patients’ attitudes toward health. The studies lasted 30 years and looked at patients’ attitudes after operation.
“In each case the better a patient’s expectations about how they would do after operation or some health procedure, the better they did,” said the author Donald Cole,
of the Institute for Work and Health in Toronto.
“This mind-body connection that we have been toying with for the past couple of decades really does have hard science behind it. The result shows that the power of positive thinking is real,” Cole said.
