单选题 The general manager is planning to fly to Paris and stay there for ______ to supervise the operation of the new branch office.
  • (A) sometime
  • (B) some time
  • (C) sometimes
  • (D) some times


【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[理由] 本句测试sometime、some time、sometimes及sometimes的意思及用法:
(A)sometime是副词,表“某时”或“不知何时”,须与明确的过去或将来的时间连用。
(B)some time表“一段期间”,须与介词for连用。
[例] John had lived in Hong Kong for some time before moving here.
(约翰搬过来这里之前曾在香港住了一段时间。)
(C)sometimes是副词,表“有时候”。
(D)sometimes表“若干次数”,
实际上并不使用此用法。应使用several times、a few times。
[例] I've been to Japan several times.
(我曾经去过日本几次。)
根据语意及用法,空格前有介词for,得知(B)应为正选。
