一道英语选择题,谢谢大家指教,.答案选的是A,为何不行B C谢谢
The leaves of the old tree . at last.A.burned out B were burned out Cwill be burned out

Answer 1

答：我查了一下burn out的用法：
burn out
(1) 烧尽,烧光; 烧毁
(2) 用火驱赶 [迫使] 出来
They were ed out (of house and home).
他们遭受火灾被烧得无家可归
(3)[~oneself]烧尽; 耗尽精力
The fire ed itself out.
那场火熄灭了
(4) 烧断
The light bulb has ed out.
灯泡 (钨丝) 烧断了
(5)烧坏
(6) 燃[用]完燃料
(7) 耗尽; 疲惫不堪
显然本题属于第一义,可惜没有例句,及物?不及物,光凭汉语意思,不能判断.
需要再查别的词典：
burn out
1.To stop burning from lack of fuel.
烧尽,烧光：因缺乏燃料而停止燃烧
2.To wear out or make or become inoperative as a result of heat or friction:
烧坏：因为热或摩擦而耗尽或变得不能工作：
The short circuit burned out the fuse.
短路烧坏了导线
3.To cause (a property owner or a resident) to have to evacuate the premises because of fire:
烧掉…的家,烧火把…赶出：因为火灾而使得（财产所有者或居民）不得不疏散财产或从地产中撤离：
The shopkeeper was burned out by arsonists.
店主被纵火犯逐出商店
4.To make or become exhausted,especially as a result of long-term stress:
使疲惫不堪：使变得或变得精疲力尽,尤指因长期地压迫：
“Hours are long,stress is high,and many recruits drop out or burn out”(&b{Robert J.Samuelson})
“时间长,压力大,许多新会员已弃权或疲倦不堪”(罗伯特J.塞缪尔森)
The leaves of the old tree .at last.
A.burned out B were burned out C.will be burned out
答:英语的句子,应该表达一个意思,而且是有实际意义的事,也就是现实生活中会有人这么说,这么与的句子.
此句的意思似乎是：
那棵老树的叶子最后终于烧光了.
不知道谁对这棵老树这么恨!也不知道这棵老树有多少树叶,会让人说:终于烧完了?
这棵老树是竖着的还是倒下了?其叶子是在树上呢还是掉下来了?不解这谜啊!
是天火自燃还是人为被烧呢?
光从burn out来看,不及物（A)和及物（B）都是可以的.
我只是想说,这种题句,本身有问题,没有做的必要!
因为选择题句,首先是优秀的句子,不是随手造出来的人工考句.
它不仅检查学生的英语水平,更是学生学习英语的工具,学习的材料.好的题句,是要让学生背下来的.
学习的最终目的,是在生活中运用.
看不出此题句来源于生活.
