Question

【题目】His sister asked him _______ the TV but she _______.

A. turn up; turned down B. turn down; was turned down

C. to turn up; turned down D. to turn down; was turned down

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】考查动词短语辨析，动词用法和被动语态。turn up把（音量等）调高；turn down把（音量等）调低，拒绝。句意：他的姐姐让他调低/调高电视的音量，但是她（的要求）被拒绝了。ask sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人做某事”；she和turn down之间是被动关系。综上，D选项正确。
