She told stories about the past and _______?
A. what things used to be
B. how things used to be
B答案正确,但A答案难道就由于却少介词 like 被彻底否定为错误吗?我记得有如此的句子:She is not what she used to be.be 与what构成系表结构。难道是由于 what 重在讲解什么是什么?而 how 重在什么如何(评价)?盼望专家老师对此类考试试题作分析与评价。
询问“状况怎么样?”,可以用两个容易见到的句型:
How are things?
What are things like?
【注意】things 指“状况”,用复数,但不加冠词。
这跟询问天气是一个道理:
How is the weather today?
What is the weather like today?
问题中的句子 used to be 表示“过去是,目前不是”,它是are 的变式。
据此,可以判断答案A有误。改为:What things used to be like 就对了。
比较:
Shes always talking about how things used to be. 她一直念叨以前的世道。
If the problem is not dealt with firmly, I dont know what things will be like in a few years. 这个问题假如不果断处置,再过几年,不知道问题会变成什么样子!
