Question

（天津市河东区201 4年高三二模考试）12. Jim wanted to keep fit, so he spent as much time as he_______ exercise.

A. could taking B. took C. to take D. could take

 

Answer 1

A

【解析】本题中含有一个定语从句as he could （spend），先行词是as much time，关系动词as指代先行词做动词spend（承前省略）的宾语。另外本句中还考察了spend some time (in) doing sth花费时间做某事；句义：Jim想要保持健康，于是他把尽可能多的时间都花在了参加体育锻炼上。故A正确。
