When she was told that her cat was killed by the neighbor's dog, the old lady _____ tears.
A. reached for
B. bolted out
C. burst into
D. turn on
题目解答
答案
C. burst into
解析
本题考查动词短语的固定搭配,核心在于理解不同短语的含义及用法。关键点在于burst into tears这一常见表达,表示“突然哭起来”。需注意其他选项的常见用法,避免混淆。
选项分析
A. reached for
含义:表示“伸手去拿某物”(如书、钥匙等)。
错误原因:句中“tears”是抽象情感,无法“被拿取”,逻辑不通。
B. bolted out
含义:表示“快速离开”(如冲出房间)。
错误原因:句中描述的是情绪反应,而非物理动作,与语境不符。
C. burst into
含义:固定搭配,表示“突然开始某种情绪或动作”(如 burst into laughter/tears)。
正确性:老太太听到噩耗后“突然哭起来”,完全符合语境。
D. turn on
含义:表示“打开设备”或“对某人发怒”。
错误原因:与句中“tears”无法构成合理搭配。
