实战练兵场
(2010年全国硕⼠研究⽣⼊学统⼀考试英语试题 完形填空）
Workers tended to be diligent for the first few days of the week in any ca,before 20 a plateau and then
slackening off.
20.[A]breaking
[B] climbing
[C] surpassing
[D] hitting
解析：
题⽬的主⼲成分是“workers tended to be diligent." diligent，指勤奋的，勤劳的。“for the first few days of the week"是介词短语作时间状语，修饰主⼲。“in any ca”是介词短语作让步状语，修饰主⼲，表⽰⽆论如何。前半句话的意思是：⽆论如何，⼯⼈们在⼀周的头⼏天都很勤奋。后半句话中，plateau表⽰⾼原，也可以指停滞期，slacken off表⽰松懈，放慢。
四个选项中，A选项break，表⽰打破，弄坏；B选项climb，指攀爬，爬；C选项surpass，表⽰超过，优于；D选项hit，最常⽤的含义是击，打，也可以表⽰到达，hit a plateau是⼀个固定搭配，表⽰遇到瓶颈，达到⼀个平稳期。因此正确选项为D.
【释义】⽆论如何，在进⼊平稳期然后松懈之前，⼯⼈都倾向于在每周的前⼏天勤奋⼯作。
【答案】D
