Question

My mother stopped        to me because there was a call for her.

A. to say    B. to talk    C. saying    D. talking

Answer

D

【解析】句意：我母亲停止跟我说话，因为她有一个电话要接。say强调说话的内容；talk表示谈话。此处是她和她妈妈之间的交谈，用动词talk。stop doing sth停止做某事，stop to do sth停下来去做某事。根据because there was a call for her可知她要接电话，因此停止说话，故用talking。故选D。

点睛：既要区分say与talk，又要区分stop to do sth与stop doing sth。
