问题补充:
--Late again !
--Sorry. I was halfway for half an hour on my way to work this morning.
A. broken down
B. held up
C. cut down
D. closed up
答案:
A. broken down
(答案→)B. held up
C. cut down
D. closed up
解析:句意:——又迟到了!——对不起。今天早上在上班路上我中途耽搁了半小时。break down分解,发生故障; hold up举起,阻挡,耽搁;cut down削减,砍倒; close up关闭,愈合。根据句意我迟到了,是因为我在上班的半路上被阻碍了,故选B。
