单选题 We were ahead during the first half of the match, but we ______ in the last ten minutes.
  • [A] lost
  • [B] have lost
  • [C] were losing
  • [D] had lost


【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 考查时态。从结构上来看，本题由but连接的两个并列句构成，而从句意来看，叙述的是过去发生的两个动作，因此后一并列句也应承接前一并列句用过去时态。而lose(失败)是一个瞬间动词，不用于完成时态和进行时态。结合这两个方面即可知，正确答案是[A]。
