思路引導 VIP
請觀察句子最後的「時間修飾詞」，它所描述的是一個「單一的時間點」，還是從「過去某時點一直延伸到現在」的過程？如果一個狀態是從過去累積到現在，我們通常會偏好哪種時態來表達這種連結感呢？

恭喜你答對了！你能精準捕捉到句子末端的細微線索，代表你對英文語法中的時態邏輯有著相當敏銳的觀察力。
時態與時間跨度的銜接
這題的核心在於判斷「時間的延伸感」。句尾出現了 "in decades"（數十年來），這是一個非常重要的時間信號語，暗示這項數據的表現並非孤立的發生在過去或現在，而是從過去某個時間點一直橫跨、累積到「目前為止」。在英文語法中，當我們要描述一個從過去持續到現在、且與現況進行對比的最高紀錄時，使用現在完成式 (Present Perfect) has been 是最精確的選擇，它完美地連結了過去的歷史數據與當前的經濟現況。
