例题分析
例1 She usually______ for her school at 6:30.
A. sets out B. sets off C. sends out D. both A and B
分析 set off与 set out 同义,总为“出发,动身,)启程”。send out发出(光亮等)如:It was raining when we set out. (set off). 我们出发时正下着雨。)
答案:D
例 2 The man ______ was talking with an old woman.
A. on the watch B. on watch C. in watch D. at watch
分析 “on watch”意为“值班,守望”(其中watch是名同).在此处作定语修饰“the man”;
答案:B
例 3例9 It was cold, but the trip was ________.
A.pleased B.pleasure C.please D.pleasant
分析:please作动词时意思是“请;使高兴”,它不能和be动词连用,C项不对。pleased作形容词意思是“高兴的,愉快的”,相当于happy,但它的主语通常是人,A项不对。pleasure是名词,意思是“愉快,高兴”,通常指人的情绪,C项不对。因此,正确答案为D项。pleasant是形容词,意思是“愉快的,快乐的”,既可以修饰人,也可以修饰物。
例4 I asked my classmates to sit closer together_____.
A. to make rooms for me B. to make room for me

答案:B

答案:A
