问题
选择题
The shot was well ________ of the goal keeper, _______ the player a chance.
A．within reach; to give
B．beyond reach; giving
C．beyond the reach; giving
D．out the reach; to give
答案
答案：C
题目分析：beyond the reach of sb/ out of the reach of sb 在某人够不着的地方；within the reach of sb在某人够得着的地方；这几个短语中的the reach of sb可以换成sb’s reach。第二空用现在分词，表示顺其自然的结果。句意：这次射门使守门员鞭长莫及，这就给了那个运动员一个机会。
