Question

The lady ________ dancing as a hobby in her sixties, and she is really good at it now．

A. dressed up
B. looked up
C. took up
D. put up

Answer 1

答案C
考查点：短语辨析。
解题思路：take up表示“从事……”，此处意为“把跳舞当成一个爱好”，故选C；选项A意为“打扮”；选项B指“查阅；仰望”；put up意为“张贴”，均不符合句意。
较难题：take up意为“从事，开始”，短语took up dancing as a hobby意为“把跳舞当作一种爱好”。
