Question

The old man feels very _________because all his children have gone abroad and his wife _________ for almost two years.

A. alone, has died                B. lonely, died

C. lonely, has been dead          D. alone, has been dead

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：句意：那位老人感到非常孤独，因为他所有的孩子去了国外，而且他的妻子去世了差不多两年。alone独自，作状语或后置定语； lonely孤独的，寂寞的，作定语或表语。die去世，瞬间性动词，不与时间段连用； be dead去世，持续性动词短语，可与时间段连用。第一空作为系动词feel的表语，故用lonely。第二空与时间段for almost two years连用，故用持续性动词be dead，故选C。

考点：考查形容词和动词词义辨析。
