Question

---Time is_________. It’s likely that we’ll miss the deadline.
---Don’t worry. We have already got through 80% of the job

1. A.
   giving out
2. B.
   using up
3. C.
   running out
4. D.
   ending up

Answer 1

C
考查短语辨析。giving out 分发，using up 用光，在这应用被动形式，running out 用完，主动表被动，ending up 结束，句意：时间快用完了，很可能我们会错过截止日期。别担心，我们已经完成工作的百分之八十了。所以选C。
