题目内容

----The prices are _____ day by day. It’s hard to make ends meet.(收支相抵)

----I hope the terrible situation won’t continue.

A．putting up B．going up C．keeping down D．going down

【答案】

【解析】

试题分析：考查动词短语辨析。A搭建，留宿，举起；B上升，上涨；C控制，镇压；D下降；句意;—价格正在一天天上涨。很难达到收支平衡。故B正确。

考点：考查动词短语辨析

点评：动词的短语辨析要根据上下文的语境进行，要把短语的意思和句意相结合。同时也要注意一个短语多种意义的现象，如pick up 捡起；用车接；无意中学会；接受信号；康复。恢复；染上…；在平时的学习中要把同种类型的短语放在一起比较，如同一个动词+不同的介词/副词；同一个介词/副词+不同的动词。诸如此类的固定短语，属于最基本的知识，如果学生有错误，则应该加强背诵并平时多解题，进而加以巩固。
