Question

【题目】He couldn’t ________ the new mobile phone because it was very expensive.

A.hopeB.spendC.affordD.help

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

句意：他买不起新手机，因为新手机非常贵。

考查动词辨析。hope希望；spend花费；afford买得起；help帮助。根据“…because it was very expensive.”可知手机很贵是他买不起的原因，排除A和D；spend作“花费”将通常接时间或者金钱，并不直接接物，排除B；afford为及物动词，直接接物。故选C。
