Question

【题目】The manager ________ Tom ________ because Tom was lazy and always late for work.

A.cheered; upB.kicked; offC.let; downD.shut; off

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

句意：经理解雇了汤姆，因为汤姆很懒，上班总是迟到。

考查动词短语，cheer sb up使某人振作起来；kick off把某人踢走，开始；let sb down让某人失望；shut sb off把某人拒之门外。根据后文说的是“因为汤姆很懒，上班总是迟到。”，那么应该是踢走，解雇了，故选B。
