选择题
The boss praised the young man for his hard work, though he ___ experience.
A.was lack of
B.was lacking in
C.lacks of
D.was lacking of
答案
答案:B
be lacking in是习语,意为"缺乏",其后通常接experience, frankness,
courage等抽象名词。选a是错误的,因为lack可用做名词和动词,但不用做形容词;选c是错误的,因为lack用做动词时,它是及物动词,其后不用介词(注:用做名词的
lack后可接介词of);选d是错误的,因为没有be lacking of这个搭配。lack of+名词: The plants died for lack of water.
