单选题
He listened hard but still couldn't ______ what they were talking about. A. make over B. make up C. make upon D. make out
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 动词短语辨析题。由从句中的he listened hard以及but可以判断,后面的结果与listened hard应有的结果不一致,即没听懂,故D为答案。make out意为“理解”,例如:We can't make out what he is saying. (我们不懂他在说什么。)make over意为“转让”,例如:His wealth was made over to his children. (他的财产转让给了他的子女。)make up意为“补足;构成”,例如:We need $50 to make up the sum required. (我们需要五十美元以补足所需要的数目。)make upon意为“在……获利,在……上赚钱”,例如:Our reps make on/upon average six calls each day. (我们的销售代表平均每天打六个电话。)
