Question

His three years of hard work_____ — he did a good job in the 2012 NMET and was admitted into a key university.

A．turned out

B．ran out

C．paid back

D．paid off

Answer 1

D

试题分析：考查词组意思，turned out意思“出席”，ran out意思“用完”， paid back意思“偿还”，paid off意思“取得成功”，句子意思“进过三年的刻苦学习，终于在2012年全国普通高校入学考试并被一所重点大学录取的了成功”，所以选D
点评：注意固定词组，要靠平时多记多积累，固定句型be admitted into意思“被承认进入……” 。
