Question

Seeing the big crowd coming towards him, he started to run down the hill，but____ and went down on his hands and knees in the melting snow.

A. slipped              B. skied

C. signalled             D. sank

Answer

A

【解析】

试题分析：题目在but链接的句子中有“went down on his hands and knees in the melting snow”即在融化的雪上摔倒了，所以要选择的动词之意与“go down”相同，A表示“滑到”，正符合句意故选A。B项表示滑雪；C项表示“发信号”而D项表示“下沉”之意。

考点：考查动词的辨析及语境理解

【名师点睛】本题难度较大，题干比较长，不仅要分析题干的意思、还要辨析四个选项的意思。题干是非谓语结构，主句是he started to run down the hill，but____ and went down on his hands and knees in the melting snow.句子用连词but和and连接起来，句意是“看到一大群人朝他涌来，他开始往山下跑，但他滑倒了并跪在正融化的积雪上”，只有A表示滑到，故选A。
