Question

His parents were worried that he        too much time chatting on line．

A．spent    B．cost    C．paid    D．had

Answer

A

【解析】

试题分析：句意：他的父母担心他花了太多的时间在线聊天。A．spent指花钱或时间。结构：Sb. spend some time/money on/doing sth；B．cost花钱，主语是所买的事物。结构：Sth. cost sb. some money；C．paid付钱，主语是人。结构：Sb. pay some money for sth；D．had有，拥有。有时间做某事：have time to do sth。本句主语是人“he”，指的是花时间“too much time”，后跟的动词是doing“chatting”。故选A。

考点：考查动词辨析。
