选择题
—Oh, why is the bar still ________.
—They are having a brief staff meeting. ________
A．closing; Don't worry!
B．open; Let's wait.
C．opening; I'm afraid.
D．closed; Be patient!
答案
答案：D
D 考查形容词辨析和交际用语。根据“They are having a brief staff meeting.”可知，酒吧是关着的，closed意为“停止营业的，关闭的”，符合语境；closing意为“结尾的，结束的”。根据语境可知，他们正在开一个简短的职工会，需要“耐心等一会儿”，所以第二空用Be patient。故D项正确。
