Question

八下英语的几个问题.
一、The reporter said that the UFO ________east to west when be saw it.
A．was travelling B．travelled
C．had been traveling D．was to travel.
我觉得是C,因为间接引语不是要将时态推后一格的吗?那was travelling不就应该改成过去完成进行时had been traveling吗?可是答案选的是A啊,不知道为什么.
二、英语书第二单元Reading中She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older.
不应该是find it hard for sb to do sth 的句型吗?为什么for sb 要放在后面呢?而且还用反身代词?

Answer 1

一、 此题是说：记者在看到它时,它正从东向西飞,飞的动作必须在进行着时才能看到,所以用过去进行时.
二、句中的for themselves是和think 搭配的.think for themselves 意思是独立思考
