题目内容
The driver was at ______loss when ______word came that he was forbidden to drive for speeding.
A.a,the | B./,/ | C.the,the | D.a,/ |
D
解析试题分析:that引导的是同位语从句,做word 的同位语。at a loss困惑, 不知所措,亏本地;word的基本意思是“单词”,指语言中能独立存在的最小表意单位,也可指“(说的)话,话语,言语,谈话”等,是可数名词。
word也可作“消息,信息,谣言”“口令,号令,命令”等解,通常用作单数形式,作“消息,信息,谣言”解时,一般不与冠词连用,但作“口令,号令,命令”解时,可与定冠词the连用。
word还可作“诺言,保证”解,通常用作单数形式。 故选D。
考点:考查固定的介词短语at a loss及名词word的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。固定短语主要的考查它们的意义,但是它们是在一定的语言环境下而出现的,所以考生必须能正确理解句子的句意。

Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, "I'm going to fly to New York next week because I've got some work there." "Where are you going to stay there?" his wife asked. "I don't know yet." Dick answered. "Please send me your address from there in a telegram (电报)," his wife said. "All right," Dick answered.
He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.

"Which hotel are my things in?" he said, "And what am I going to do tonight?" But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, "Please send me my address at this post office."
