Question

The passengers were ________in the traffic congestion which resulted from the accident ahead.

A．held out

B．held back

C．held up

D．held on

Answer 1

C

試題分析：句意：乘客由于前面的交通被阻擋在路上。hold out堅(jiān)持；hold back隱瞞； hold up阻隔，阻擋；hold on繼續(xù)。根據(jù)句意故選C。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題難度適中。動(dòng)詞短語是近幾年高考的熱點(diǎn)，不僅在單選還會(huì)出現(xiàn)在完形和短文改錯(cuò)中，主要考查對(duì)短語的意義和用法的掌握，同時(shí)要求考生正確理解語境。這里主要考查hold與不同的副詞構(gòu)成的動(dòng)詞短語。
即學(xué)即練：He ______ to a branch until we came to his rescue.
A. held out       B. held back       C. held up       D. held on
解析：D。句意：他抓住一根樹枝，直到我們把他救下來。
