The number of the students _____ civil servant examination __________ rising these years,which reflects the work competition in china is fierce.
A takes; is B taking; was
C.taking; has been keeping
D,taking; keeps
答案为D．第一空考查非谓语动词,take也students 之间构成主动关系,故用taking.第二空具有迷惑性,不少学生会选用has been keeping,但事实上keep表状态时,无进行时态．相类似的有remain 以及感官动词等．
