— I’m still working on my project.
— Hurry up, or you’ll miss the deadline. Time is _______________.

A．running out

B．dying out

C．giving out

D．bursting out

Answer 1

A

试题分析：run out用完，到期,期满；die out灭绝，消失；give out分发，发出，用尽；burst out突发，爆发。give out 意思是耗尽精神方面的能量，常指精疲力竭但也可指耗尽物质方面的东西，。Their determination finally gave out. 他们最终失去了决心。run out 意思是耗尽物质方面的东西，如：Our supplies finally ran out. 我们的供给终于耗尽了。但是指时间耗尽时只能用run out.
