问题
选择题
(2013·高考天津卷)I had hoped to take a holiday this year but I wasn’t able to ________.
A.get away
B.drop in
C.check out
D.hold on
答案
答案:A
选A。本题四个选项都是常见动词词组。get away脱身,逃离;外出度假;drop in顺便拜访;check out检查,核实;hold on坚持。根据but可知后面的wasn’t able to________与前面的had hoped to take a holiday构成转折关系,故get away符合题意。本题句意为“我本希望今年去度假,但是没能去成”。
