Answer 1

分析 房價自1月以來首次上漲

解答 答案：for the first time．考查固定短語．for the first time做時間狀語，表示"首次"．

點評 考查漢譯英．
the first time的用法．
1．當the first time作連詞用，引導一個時間狀語從句時，從句一般用過去式，例如：
He fell in love with Mary the first time he saw her．（他對瑪麗一見鐘情．）
2．當the first time用在"It is/was the first time that…"結構中時，從句一般用完成式．如果前邊用"is"，從句用現(xiàn)在完成式；如果前邊用"was"，從句用過去完成式．例如：
It is the first time that I have heard the news．這是我第一次聽說這個消息．
It was the first time that he had been to Beijing．這是他第一次去北京．
3．for the first time表示"首次；第一次"．相當于副詞，做時間狀語．
For the first time，we find portraits that really look like us．
有史以來第一次，肖像畫看起來真的就像你我一樣鮮活．
