A. dropped in
B. dropped out
C. dropped on
D. dropped off
题目解答
答案
B. dropped out
解析
本题考查动词短语的辨析,核心在于理解不同短语的固定搭配及其具体含义。关键点在于掌握"drop out"在表示“退学、退出”时的用法,结合语境判断Bill Gates的行为属于中途离开学校,从而排除其他干扰选项。
选项分析
- A. dropped in:意为“顺便拜访”,如“drop in on a friend”(顺便看望朋友),与题干中“离开学校”无关。
- B. dropped out:意为“退学、退出”,如“drop out of college”(中途退学),符合题干中Bill Gates中途离开哈佛的情境。
- C. dropped on:搭配不常见,通常指“掉下”或“偶然发现”,如“drop on a secret”(偶然发现秘密),但此处语境不符。
- D. dropped off:意为“落下、减少”,如“drop off in sales”(销量下降),与“离开学校”无关。
关键结论
"Drop out" 是唯一符合“中途退学”语境的短语,因此正确答案为 B。
