请老师帮忙看看,这道题应该选什么呢,以及为什么。
He has been receiving phone calls from journalists since he became famous.They ________ to know what will become of his life in the future.
A.have wanted B.are wanting
C.want D.wanted
B is correct, unless there is "have been wanting", because the action is still happening.

第一句中的现在完成进行时表示从他出名后到现在一直有记者给他打电话,属于现在时态的范围。want是个表示心理状态的动词,属于静态动词。静态动词一般不用于进行时态;用的话,表示临时的状态。根据这几个信息,再结合语义和逻辑,第二句的空白处填want,表示现在这个时刻主语所处的状态,没有结束的意义。
