Question

When I _______ the farm, the children had finished _______ the apples

1. A.
   reached, picking
2. B.
   got, picking
3. C.
   came, picked
4. D.
   arrived in, to pick

Answer 1

A
考查近义词辨析和固定搭配。句意“当我到达农场时，那些孩子已经摘完苹果了。”reach是及物动词，get和arrive不可数。get to和arrive at/in后可加名词。Come不及物，后加to再加地点名词。故选A。
