以下是引用xxz5838在2009-3-27 16:04:00的发言:13. On the Great Plains, nineteenth-century settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without timber and nails. (A)x (A) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without (B) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, did it without (C) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making them while not having这里的while not having不如without 而且longman中已经给出了make do with/without就是惯用语 谁让我们不是native (D) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making do without(D) (E) settlers’ homes were built of mud and grass, making do without 这道题应该怎么选呢? 首先排除A&B 因为it指代不清 指了前面盖房这一件事情 错 E铁定不对 making做伴随状语逻辑主语不能是settlers'homes 剩下C&D 我怎么就不明白making do是什么东东呢? 查了一下"make do" is an american english idiom
they had no choice but to make do with what little was given to them... Longman:13 make do to manage with the things that you have, even though this is not really enough I hardly had any food in the house so I just had to make do. make do with/without I usually make do with a cup of coffee for breakfast. For many people, make do and mend (=when someone manages with the things they have and does not buy anything new) was a harsh reality. |
