Question

The Chinese football team had experienced a series of reforms. However, its performances in Shenzhen in October ________ all the people, especially the crazy fans.

A．knocked down B．let down

C．pulled down D．brought down

 

Answer 1

B

【解析】答案：B　考查动词短语辨析。句意为：中国足球队经历了一系列的改革，然而，10月份它在深圳的表现使所有的人感到失望，特别是疯狂的球迷们。knock down意为“击倒，撞倒，击落”；let down意为“使失望，放下，辜负”；pull down意为“拆毁，摧毁，推翻，拉下来”；bring down意为“降低，打倒，击落”。根据句中的转折词“However”可知，足球队员们的表现使人们失望，let down符合语境。故答案选B。
