本题应该选择B

On 13 April, the Titanic was sailing at full speed towards New York. The captain,who had received warnings about icebergs all day, had dismissed the warnigns as they arrived. 

第一句话的过去进行时态告诉读者一个故事背景:泰坦尼克号正在全速航行。然后用倒叙手法告诉读者一些故事细节:船长收到关于冰山的警告,船长把这些警告不当一回事。收到警告是船全速航行之前的事,因此要用过去完成时。船长不理会警告也是此前的事。这两个过去完成时态的使用是参照背景描述的泰坦尼克号正在全速前进的谓语过去进行时。船长不理会警告和警告到达之间的时间关系几乎是同时的,as引导时间状语从句,如果主句和从句都是非延续动作,则都用一般时态,表示二个动作(几乎)同时发生。例如The captain dismissed these warnings as they (warnings) arrived. (收到这些警告时,船长对此不屑一顾。)由于不理睬警告发生在was sailing之前,受was sailing的时态的影响,dismissed由一般过去时改为过去完成时,以满足时态一致的语法要求。但dismiss和arrived的时间关系并不因此改变,二者还是几乎同时的。从严格角度讲,警告的到达是稍微早于(1秒钟?)不理睬的,或二者为前后衔接的二个动作:收到警告--不予理睬。因此不能说收到警告是在到达之前。they显然指的是warnings。arrived用什么时态只受dismiss这个动作的影响,只要不在该动作之前,就不用完成体。

On 13 April, the Titanic was sailing at full speed towards New York. The captain,who had received warnings about icebergs all day, had dismissed the warnigns as they arrived. 

A. had received; had arrived  

B. had received; arrived  

C. received; had arrived  

D. received; arrived  

句子主干为如下:

The captain had dismissed the warnigns as they arrived

参考译文:当冰山警告到达的时候,船长毫不理会这些警告。

(备注:不理会动作在到达之前发生,用了过去完成时)

请问选什么?怎么解释句中的had dismissed和arrive的关系?

解答:不会理会这些警告的动作是在达到之前发生,(即在他们达到之前,这位船长久不会这些关于冰山的警告。到达属于过去,在之前就是过去的过去)属于过去的过去,所有用过去完成生态。

答案解析:B 为正确答案

On 13 April, the Titanic was sailing at full speed towards New York. The captain,who had received warnings about icebergs all day, had dismissed the warnigns as they arrived.

参考译文:在4月13日,泰坦里克号正在以全速想纽约行驶,这位整天都收到了有关冰山的警告的船长却不会理会这些警告,当他们达到的时候。

(备注:时间状语从句的主语they指代warnings警告)

(备注:who had received warnings about icebergs all day 属于非限制性定语从句,修饰句子主语"the captain")

补充解答如下

以上句子涉及到以下4个事件,为了更清晰知道谁先发生,谁后发生,我把几个动作重新梳理一下供提问者参考。

A事件:泰坦里克号以全速向纽约航行(2)

B事件:船长整天/一天到晚接到/收到有关冰山的警告(1)

C事件:船长毫不理会/理睬/毫不考虑这些冰山警告(3)

D时间:当关于冰山警告来到/到达的时候(4)

以上ABCD动作按照时间排列顺序为

B收到冰山警告----A全速航行---C毫不理睬冰山警告---D冰山警告到达时候。
