Question

The teachers felt ________ when they heard that the school team ________ the game.

1. A.
   badly, finished
2. B.
   pleased, played with
3. C.
   sad, beat
4. D.
   sorry, lost

Answer 1

D
根据该句时间状语从句的语境，老师们听说本校队输了比赛，自然心理感到很难过，故第一空填sorry作表语，和felt构成系表结构；第二空填lost表示“输”．beat后跟比赛对手的名词，用在此处意思不妥．
