题目

Shocked at what he had just been told, Julian put his phone down as if he _____ a ghost.
just saw
has just seen
had just seen
were just seeing

答案

答案：C.
翻译：对他刚刚被告知的事情感到震惊,朱利安放下电话,似乎他刚才看到鬼/幽灵一样.
1.根据句意,as if引导的方式状语从句的动作see a ghost只是一种虚拟,并非真实情况,所以该从句必须使用虚拟语气.
2.根据相关语法规定,如果是对过去动作的虚拟,as if/though所引导的从句必须采用过去完成时had done sth,所以正确答案只能选C.
