Some passengers complain that it usually _________so long to fill in travel insurance documents. A．costs B．takes C．spends 　 D．spares

Answer 1

B

词义辨析. 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；spare节约.句意:一些乘客抱怨填写旅行保险文件用时太长.结合从句主语it,可知选B.
