Question

【题目】He preferred ___________(封闭) himself in and listening to music to watching TV when he was sad.

Answer 1

【答案】shutting

【解析】

句意：当他悲伤时，他宁愿将他自己封闭起来听音乐，而不愿看电视。

考查动名词。根据中文提示，此处填写“封闭”的含义，shut动词，保持，shut oneself in封闭自己。prefer doing sth to doing sth表示“宁愿做……，而不愿做……”本结构中prefer后需要填动名词。故填shutting。
