Question

The housewife got her hands and arms _____ while trying to pour the boiling water from the kettle into the thermos; she ______ some healing ointment to her burn but the pain was still unbearable

1. A.
   burned; put
2. B.
   burnt; used
3. C.
   burnt; dressed
4. D.
   burnt; applied

Answer 1

D
试题分析：考查单词意思，burnt意思“烧伤的”，put意思“放”，used意思“使用”，dressed意思“穿”，applied意思“使用”，句子意思“当她把开水从水壶倒进暖水瓶的时候，她的手和胳膊烧伤了，她适用了康复软膏，但是疼痛难以忍受”，所以选D
考点：考查单词意思
点评：注意固定词组apply to意思“适用”，from sth into sth意思“从某个东西倒进某个东西”，句子 while trying to pour the boiling…是while引导的时间状语从句。注意while和when的区别，while后跟短暂性动词和延续性动词，而when只跟短暂性动词。
