Question

News reports say peace talks between the two countries_____ with no agreement reached．

A．have broken down

B．have broken out

C．have broken in

D．have broken up

 

Answer 1

答案：A
解析：

题干所提供的语义为：peace talks“失败，破裂”，with no agreement reached。 选项中四个短语的含义分别为： break down: to come to an unsuccessful end break out: 1)   (of an undesirable condition) to begin suddenly and often violently 2) to suddenly become covered 3) to escape (from) break in: 1) to enter a building by force 2) to interrupt 3) to make (a person or animal) used to something new break up: 1) to (cause to) become separated into smaller pieces 2) to come or bring to an end, esp. by separating 3) to stop being together; separate or go in different directions 显然只有选项A能够满足本题语境与语义的需要，应为答案。

提示：

本题所提供的四个选项时态完全一样，选择答案时主要根据题干中句子的意思和四个短语动词的词义来考虑。
