—Did you look up the time of trains to Shanghai?
—Yes,the early train is ________ to leave at 5:30 am.
A.likely
B.about
C.possible
D.due
D
题目分析:考查固定句式。固定词组be likely to do sth可能做某事;be about to do sth马上就要做某事,与when连用;be due to do sth预定好了做某事;句意:—你有没有查一下去上海的火车时间表?—是的。最早的火车是在5点半就离开了。根据句意可知火车离开是事先预定好的事情,故D项正确。
点评:固定句式be likely to do sth可能做某事;be about to do sth马上就要做某事,与when连用;be due to do sth预定好了做某事;要把句式和句子的意思联系在一起综合考虑。
