Question

Glenn Beck said that US society is about to _____ as if a pot of water were boiling over.
A.crack B.break C.explode D.shake

Answer 1

Glenn Beck said that US society is about to _____ as if a pot of water were boiling over.
A. crack vi. 破裂；爆裂
B. break vi. 突变
C. explode vi. 爆炸,爆发；激增
D. shake vi. 动摇；摇动；发抖
首先依次对各选项的意思进行确认；
然后看一下句子大意：格林-贝克说美国社会就像是一壶正在沸腾的水一样将要...
be about to do,“刚要、 刚要即将、 正要做某事 ”
根据句意我个人认为选D应该是比较合适的!
一壶沸腾的水一样,可能不可能是arack破裂、也不是什么break突变,explode爆炸就更不是了,所以个人觉得D选项最为合适!
请各位大侠指点!
