Question

You can ________ ask the old man to move away because he has lived ________ here for 10 years.

1. A.
   hard; lonely
2. B.
   hard, alone
3. C.
   hardly; lonely
4. D.
   hardly; alone

Answer 1

D
考查副词。句意为“你几乎不可能让这位老人搬离因为他自己已经在这里住了10年”，hardly“几乎不”，否定含义，hard“努力地”，是肯定含义；alone“单独的”，lonely“寂寞的”。故选D。本题难。
