Question

Last summer, I ____ ￥50 for the skirt.

A. pay    B. paid    C. spend    D. spent

Answer

B

【解析】

试题分析：句意：上个暑假，我花了五十元去买这条短裙。分析：考查pay与spend的区别：pay的基本用法是：(1) pay (sb.) money for sth. 付钱（给某人）买……。例：I have to pay them 20 pounds for this room each month. 我每个月要付20英磅的房租。(2)pay for sth. 付……的钱。例：I have to pay for the book lost. 我不得不赔丢失的书款。spend的主语必须是人， 常用于以下结构：(1) spend time ／money on sth. 在……上花费时间（金钱）。例：I spent two hours on this maths problem. 这道数学题花了我两个小时。(2) spend time ／ money (in) doing sth. 花费时间（金钱）做某事。例：They spent two years (in) building this bridge. 造这座桥花了他们两年时间。(3)spend money for sth. 花钱买……。例：His money was spent for books. 他的钱用来买书了。通过时间状语体现为一般过去时，因此第二项正确。故选B

考点：考查动词辨析。
