Question

When the poor old lady tried to ______ the cup  on the shelf to have a drink, she ______.

A．reach for; fell down	B．reach; fell down
C．reach for; had fallen down	D．reach; was falling down

Answer 1

A

试题分析： reach for意思是伸出手拿，reach意思是到达，故第一个空用reach for；第二个空，表示发生在过去的事情，故用一般过去时。
点评：平时要准确掌握词汇的用法，通过时间状语、句意以及上下文的联系来判断时态。
