D.some times
参考答案:B
解析:正确答案选B。(A) sometimes:"有时"。(B)some time:"一些时间"。(C)sometime:"以前的,一度的,前任的"。(D)some times:"在某些场合,不时"。从句意上看,应填(B)。全句的意思是:她不知道她是否有机会在此处花一些时间以便使她更多了解这个城市的情况。
3.I was speaking to Ann on the phone when suddenly we were_______.
A.hung up
B.hung back
C.cut down
D.cut off
参考答案:D
解析:正确答案选D。(A) hung up:"把……挂起来,挂断电话"。(B)hung back:"犹豫;踌躇不前"。(C)cut down:"砍倒"。(D)cut off:"突然中断,切断,打断"。(B)、(C)与原句意思较远,应立即排除。(A)虽可作"挂断电话"解,但是通常指双方通话期间,其中一方把电话挂断。本句的后半句是"we are---",显然在双方通话期间,没有任何一方把电话挂断,而是外来因素(如:接线员)把"我们的通话突然中断了。"(D)符合句意,应填(D)。
