----What a ________ boy! We should learn from him.

A. gets off; thoughtful B. takes off; energetic

C. shows off; modest    D. puts off; curious

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：句意：--我的表兄弟擅长学校所有的学科，但是，他从不炫耀。--多么谦虚的男孩啊！我们应该向他学习。分析词组：get off下车；take off脱下；show off炫耀；put off推迟。联系下文，体现他从不炫耀自己，同时明确感叹中强调这个男孩是谦虚的。故选 C

考点：考查动词短语及形容词的用法。
