Those who want to say anything more _________ your hands and then_______ to speak.
A.rise; raise
B.raise; rise
C.raise; raise
D.rise; rise
答案:B
题目分析:raise one’s hand举手;rise站起来。句意:想要说某事的那些人举起手,然后站起来就开始说。根据句意故选B。raise是及物动词,其主语通常是人;而rise是不及物动词,其主语通常是物。例如:
I feel I must raise my voice against suggested changes in the law.我认为我必须对该法律所提出的修改条款提出反对。
raise和rise用于同一事物时含义不同。例如:
The price of TV sets has been raised recently.
最近电视机提价了。
(政府或厂家主动行动)
The price of TV sets has risen recently.
最近电视机提价了。
(市场调节)
