Question

Though the long-distance runner ______ his previous record last month, his trainer let him ______  its speed as he went around the curve.．

A．bettered; slowed	B．better ; to slow
C．bettered; slow	D．better; slow

Answer 1

C

考查一詞多義。句意“盡管那位長跑運動員上周優化了他以前的記錄，當他經過彎道時，他的運動鞋能讓他減慢速度。”better作動詞用，意為“改善，勝過”。Let sb. do sth.“讓某人做某事”。故選C。
