How much did the computer ________ you? And how much time do you ________ on it every day? A．take; cost B．spend; pay C．cost; spend D．pay; take

Answer 1

C

试题分析：take 用于 it takes sb ... to do sth句型，仅指花费时间（three hours等），必须用it作形式主语；spend用于sb spend...on sth或者sb spend...in doing sth（in可以省略），spend的主语必须是人，可以指花费时间、也可以指花费金钱；cost用于 sth costs sb sth，主语必须是物，多指花费金钱，少数情况可指花费时间、气力，有时表示成本的消耗；pay的基本用法是：(1) pay (sb.) money for sth. 付钱（给某人）买……。 (2)pay for sth. 付……的钱。 (3)pay for sb. 替某人付钱。(4)pay sb. 付钱给某人。 句意:这台电脑花了你多少钱?你每天在它上面花费多少时间?结合语境可知前文主语指物,下文主语指人,故选C. 点评：该题型是属于基础题型，是必考内容。首先要理解每个选项的基本含义，并注意交叉含义间的区别，然后结合语境选择正确答案。
