8.Jennifer couldn't ___ her tears when she was told her grandmother had survived the operation.
A. keep back
B. pay back
C. go back
D. look back
题目解答
答案
A. keep back
解析
本题考查短语动词的辨析，核心在于理解每个选项的含义并结合语境选择最合适的表达。关键点在于“抑制泪水”的正确表达，需注意短语搭配的固定用法。
句意：Jennifer得知祖母手术成功后，无法抑制泪水。
选项分析：
- A. keep back：意为“抑制、忍住”，常用于情感表达，如“keep back tears（忍住泪水）”，符合语境。
- B. pay back：意为“偿还、报复”，与“泪水”无关。
- C. go back：意为“回去、返回”，与句意无关。
- D. look back：意为“回顾、回头看”，无法与“tears”搭配。
结论：只有A选项能准确表达“无法抑制泪水”的含义。
