Answer 1

【答案】：D
【译文】不管我们怎么说，他都拒绝去警局自首。

【考点】动词短语的词义辨析

【解析】give sb．up意为“自首，表示对……没有希望”。例：It was SO late that we had given him up．已经很晚了，我们认为他不会来了。give away意为“送掉，分发，放弃，泄露，出卖，让步，陷下”。例：He was invited to attend the closing ceremony ofthe toumament and to give away the prizes．他应邀出席锦标赛的闭幕 式并颁发奖品。He gave away the secret without meaning to．他无意中把秘密泄露了。give off表示“发 出，放出(蒸汽、气味等)”。例：This kind of coal gives off dense smm。这种煤烧起来直冒浓烟。根据 题意，故选D。
