两道英语选择题

1、After everyone _____,the meeting began
A take their place B in their place

2、Hardly had the teacher gone into the classroom when the pupils _____
A fell silence B fall sliencing C fell into silence D fell silent
第二题答案选D~

Answer 1

1、After everyone _____,the meeting began
A take their place B. in their place
答：C. took his place 或D:took their places
译：大家就座后，会议开始。
析：楼主选项不齐，无法作出正确选择。
有类似题参考：
“After everyone took_______ place,the meeting began. A.his B.their 那个正确 理由
答：A。
理由：因为place为单数。如果place 改为 places则用their 以代替his or her place
1. After everyone took his place,the meeting began.
2. After everyone took his or her place,the meeting began.
3. 1. After everyone took their places,the meeting began.”

PS: 此句还可以用独立主格结构：Everyone in his place, the meeting began.

2、Hardly had the teacher gone into the classroom when the pupils _____
A fell silence B fall sliencing C fell into silence D fell silent
问题补充：
第二题答案选D~
答：CD
译：老师一进教室，学生们就安静下来。
析：fell3:fall, 首先可排除B,用的是数学+心理学。语法：silence为名词，没有silencing一词。B选项是废项。说的是过去的事，应用fall的过去式fell
这里的fell是系动词，非不及物动词。后跟形容词或介词短语作表语，而silence是名词，排除A
有fall in love作对比，fell into silence,感觉不错。
有fall asleep作对比，fell silent 感觉也不错。
fall 这个系动词，和go有点类似，后面跟的表语形容词，常为“不太好”的形容词。如：fall ill
事实上，fall silent及fell into silence，我都是第一次见到。只是根据所学语法知识推断出来的。是不是地道，待查。
花雨飘飘落无声 Flowers floating rain fall silent . 这里的fall是不及物动词，silent在这里更象是副词的用法。也类似于He lay dead中形容词dead的用法。
Though songs of bell cricket weary, fall into silence. 纵然伴着秋虫泣，哭尽长宵泪未干。

感觉C比D更好些。
但题句不太自然，有made in China,人工考句的痕迹。
