Question

— I want to help Joey with Chinese, since he has just moved here from America.

— ________, Joey's mother is a Chinese, so he speaks Chinese well.

A.Don't teach fish to swim B.Don't try to run before you walk

C.Don't burn the candle at both ends D.Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Answer

A

【解析】

句意：——我想帮乔伊学中文，因为他刚从美国搬来。——别班门弄斧。乔伊的妈妈是中国人，所以他汉语说得很好。

考查习语。Don't teach fish to swim别教鱼游泳，即切勿班门弄斧；Don't try to run before you walk走之前不要试着跑在学会走之前不要尝试跑，即不要急功近利的意思；Don't burn the candle at both ends蜡烛不能两头烧，即勿过分消耗体力；Don't put all your eggs in one basket不要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里，不要孤注一掷；即不要把一切希望寄托在一件事上；根据下文“,Joey's mother is a Chinese, so he speaks Chinese well”推断空格指不要班门弄斧；故选A。
