—He doesn’t like it, because he thinks learning drawing ______ too much money and it ______ too much time as well.

A.costs; takes B.costs; spends C.takes; spends D.takes; costs

Answer

A

【解析】

句意：——你弟弟喜欢学画画吗？——他不喜欢，因为他认为学画画花费太多金钱，也花费太多时间。

考查动词辨析。cost, take和spend都是“花费”的意思。cost主语是物，常用结构“sth. costs some money”；take主语是物，常表示花费多少时间；spend主语是人，常用结构“sb. spends some time on sth./(in) doing sth.”。题中两个空前的主语都是物，排除spend；根据第一空后“too much money”可知第一空用costs；再由第二空后“too much time”可知第二空用takes。故选A。
