思路引導 VIP
請觀察這句話的後半段使用了 "can now"（現在可以）來描述當前的交通狀況。那麼，當句子前半段提到 "once"（曾經、一度）這個詞時，它所引導的動作是在什麼時間點發生的？我們應該選擇哪種形式的動詞，才能精確表達那個已經成為過去的狀態呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到句子中的時間線索並選出 (D) took，顯示你對於英文語境中的時態切換有著非常敏銳的直覺。
過去與現在的時態對比
這道題目的解題關鍵在於辨識句中的時間對照點。句子前半段提到 "Journeys that once..."（曾經...的旅程），這裡的副詞 once 是最重要的語意指標，明確指涉過去發生的狀態。為了與後半句的 "can now be completed"（現在可以完成）形成鮮明的今昔對比，動詞必須使用過去式。在選項中，(A)、(B) 為現在式，(C) 是過去分詞（通常需接在助動詞後），唯有 (D) took 是正確的簡單過去式動詞，符合敘述需求。

動詞時態與時間副詞
💡 根據句中時間副詞標記（如 once）判斷動詞時態。
| 比較維度 | 過去 (Past) | VS | 現在 (Present) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 關鍵副詞 | once (曾經) | — | now (現在) |
| 動詞時態 | 過去式 (took) | — | 現在式 / 助動詞 (can be) |
| 語意情境 | 傳統交通、花費長時 | — | 高鐵科技、省時便捷 |
💬時態是由動作發生的「時間點」決定，而非全句一致。
