英语单选题 If water becomes increasingly scarce in de cades _______,water shortage will become a hot issue all over the world.[ ] A.coming B.having come C.to come D.to be coming 为什么答案选C
动词不定式的一般式往往表示该动作未完成或者即将完成的意思,此处to come表示"即将到来"的意思,放在名词decades后面,表达了"以后的数十年间",还有另外表示法,比如"...in the coming decades",coming表达即将到来之意时,放在被修饰名词之前.又如:the coming examination= the examination to come.
