Question

9. If the salt in the fire produces crackling sound,we will have good weather         ;if no sound is produced,it then means the good weather will soon end and a storm would come at any moment.

   A. in preparation   B. in need

   C. in return   D. in store

Answer 1

9. D考查短语搭配。句意为："如果盐在火中发出爆裂声，就说明我们会有好天气；如果没有声音发出，则说明好天气即将结束，暴风雨随时会来临。"in store ,意思是"贮藏着，保存着，准备着"，这里用来表示"即将到来"之意，所以为正确答案。 in preparation意为"准备，预备"；in need意为"在危难中，在危急中"；in return意为"回报，作为报答"。
