5. Mr Smith ______ a book about China last year but I don’t know whether he has finished it.

A. has written                                           B. wrote

C. had written                                           D. was writing

【陷阱】容易誤選B或C。

【分析】此題應選D，這是由 but I don’t know whether he has finished it 這一句話的語境決定的，全句意為“史密斯先生去年在寫一本書，但我不知道他現在是否寫完了”。有的同學可能由于受 last year的影響而誤選B。但若選B，則句子前半部分的意思則變?yōu)?/FONT>“史密斯先生去年寫了一本書”，既然是“寫了”，那么這與下文的“但我不知道他現在是否寫完了”相矛盾。
