Test 1:1994
do not be ________ by his bad manners since he is merely trying to attract attention.
[A] disregarded [B] distorted [C] irritated [D] intervened
本题的答案是(C)
regard表示"考虑",所以(A)disregarded:表示"不理、不顾、漠视"之意。(B) distorted:"弄歪,歪曲"。(C)irritated:"被激怒,恼火"。(D) intervened:意为"介入、插入",为不及物动词,因此不可能有be intervened这种被动语态,从意思上讲,只能是"被他的坏行为"激怒,不可能为其他意思,因此(C) irritated为正确答案。
2. Craig assured his boss that he would __________ all his energies in doing this new job.
