1.I got this bicycle for ________: my friend gave it to me when she bought a new one.
A. everything B. something
C. anything D. nothing
[解析]句意:这辆自行车我没花钱:我朋友买了新自行车,就把这辆旧的送给我了。for nothing 表示“免费;徒然”,符合语境。其他三项均与后面语境相悖。
[答案]D
2. The two girls are so alike that strangers find ________ difficult to tell one from the other.
A. it B. them
C. her D. that
[解析]句意:这两个女孩长得如此相似以至于陌生人很难把她们区分开来。在 that 引导的结果状语从句中,谓语动词find 的真正宾语是 to tell one from the other,设空处需用形式宾语,而四个选项中只有 it 可以作形式宾语,所以选择A。
[答案]A
