Answer 1

一、this year用的时态:
1.一般过去时。
These trees gave a high yield of fruit this year.
这些果树今年获得了大丰收。
2.一般将来时。
The unit's exports will total $85 million this year.
该部门今年的出口总额将达8,500万美元。
3.现在完成时。
Nearly 2,500 have died in separatist violence this year.
近2,500人在今年的分裂主义暴乱中丧生。
4.一般现在时。

我们今年取得了大丰收。
5.现在进行时。

公司今年生意很好。
二、原句：There has been too much rain in sw this year.要用has been 而不是was因为
现在完成时has/have been 表持续。从过去某一时刻开始一直持续到现在的动作或状态（下雨）。这个动作可能刚停止，可能仍然在进行。用was只是对过去事情陈述，现在这个动作或状态（下雨）已经停止了。
