Question

When his beloved girlfriend left him， he was_______for a couple of weeks．

A. over the moon B. as sly as a fox

C. down in the dumps D. on cloud nine

Answer

C

【解析】

考查介词短语辨析。句意：当他挚爱的女友离开他时，他沮丧了几个星期。A. over the moon非常高兴；狂喜；B. as sly as a fox像狐狸一样狡猾；C. down in the dumps气馁；沮丧；D. on cloud nine及其快乐；乐不可支。由“When his beloved girlfriend left him”可知，他挚爱的女友离开了他，所以down in the dumps“气馁；沮丧”符合句意。故C选项正确。
