I always________ my brother at chess. But I don’t do so ______ as him in basketball.

A.win, good

B.beat, good

C.win, well

D.beat, well

答案

答案:D

题目分析:句意:在下棋方面我总是能打败我的弟弟,但是在在打篮球方面我不如他打得好。win的意思是“赢”、“获胜”、“得到成功”,在作为及物动词时,它的宾语往往是奖品、奖学金、名誉、财产、战争或运动等等beat译成汉语也有“赢”、“取胜”、“战胜”之意。但跟win的用法不同,这个动词后面跟的是比赛、竞争中的对手或战争中的敌人。如:

①I beat John at chess yesterday.昨天我和约翰下棋并赢了他。Good为形容词在句中作定语和表语,well为副词表示好修饰动词。根据句意故选D.
