Question

(2011年西安分科质检)We were scared to death when the fire________.Fortunately，it was put out before it caused much damage.

A．broke out                     B．came out

C．gave out                       D．turned out

Answer 1

解析：选A。考查动词短语辨析。break out表示“(战争、打斗等不愉快事件)突然发生”；come out表示“出来，发芽”；give out表示“分发，用完”；turn out表示“结果是，生产”。句意：突如其来的大火把我们吓得要死，幸好被扑灭了，没有造成很大损失。A项符合语意。
