The Italians, in panic, 19 the main exit in their section when a six-foot concrete wall collapsed.
答案:(A) headed for
headed for the main exit(朝主要出口奔去)表示義大利球迷驚慌之下衝向出口,此時一道六英呎高的水泥牆倒塌;backed up(回堵、滯留/支援)、called out(大喊)、passed on(傳遞)均不符合此處衝向出口的語境。
四個選項都是「動詞加介副詞」的片語動詞,形態一模一樣,你會一個一個把中文代進去讀。
鑑別度高達 55。先看空格後面接的是什麼:the main exit(該區的主要出口),是一個地點。再看主詞與情境:The Italians, in panic(義大利球迷驚慌之下)——人在慌亂中,對著一個出口能做的事就是往那裡衝。四個選項裡只有 head for 是「朝……而去、前往」,後面接的正是目的地,填進去讀成 headed for the main exit(朝主要出口衝過去)。head 當名詞是「頭」,當動詞就是「把頭朝向那邊走過去」,兩個意思接得起來。
back up(支援;倒車;備份)後面接的是被支援的人或資料,不是地點;call out(大聲呼喊)後面接的是喊出來的話或被叫的人;pass on(傳遞下去)後面接的是被傳遞的東西。三個都是片語動詞,形態吻合,容易被順手選走,但把 the main exit 放進去都讀不成句子該有的意思。
head for(朝……而去、前往)、in panic(驚慌之下)、back up(支援;倒車)、call out(大聲呼喊)、pass on(傳遞下去)、collapse(倒塌、崩塌)。
