–How much did you _______ on this dictionary?-Twenty yuan. A. spend B. take C. cost

Answer 1

A

动词辨析。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； 本题中主语是人，故选A。
