Question

【题目】The temperature below zero, to―8℃, and it may______ below zero for days.

A. drops; stay B. drops to; stays C. rises; keep D. rises to; keeps

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：温度降到了零度以下，零下8度，可能会一连几天在零度以下。drop下降；rise上升；stay待，停留；drop to降到…；keep保持。根据句意below zero, to -8℃可知，气温是下降了，故排除C和D。第二个空前may是情态动词，后面跟动词原形，故选A。
