Question

53. When the big bills for mother's hospital care came, father was glad he had money in the bank to _____.

　　A. fall short of    B. fall through

　　C. fall back on     D. fall in with

Answer 1

C

解析:

本题译文：母亲在医院就医的各种帐单送来时，父亲高兴的是他可用银行里的存款来支付。fall back on求助于。fall short of没达到，低于：1)He fell short of what we had expected.(他没有达到我们的期望。) 2)The measures proposed fall far short of what is required.(所提出的这些措施远没达到需要的 目标。)fall in with与......一致，符合；同意，赞成，支持。Fall through落空。参阅Ⅲ.49注释。
