)

A:lazy

studentB:bad

boyC:top

studentD:student答案:AI参考:答案为D：student。从问题中的信息我们可以看出Tom是一个不爱学习的穷学生。A选项：懒学生可能意味着Tom缺乏学习的动力，但问题中并未提到他懒惰。B选项：坏男孩意味着Tom可能是一个叛逆的学生，但这与问题中的信息不符。C选项：优秀的学生与问题中的描述不符。D选项：学生是最符合问题的，因为问题中明确提到了Tom是一个不爱学习的穷学生，这正是学生的一个常见特点。因此，正确答案是D。'Lots

(

)

A:thank

bathroom.

(

)

you

hold

my

seat

for

me?\n从原文可以判断出，“你的座位让给你”，然后继续，你想要对方为你在洗手间保留座位，对方保留一会儿或过一会应该返回。可以选出表示对方为自己留位子为表达此意的是hold，而look和leave在此不适用。故答案为A。'If

pay

if

you

only

with

you?(

)

A:business

cardB:debit

cardC:cashD:credit

card答案:AI参考:正确选项为D：creditcard。\n\n根据问题中的描述，你只有一张卡，所以只能选择支付方式。选项A的businesscard（名片）不是支付方式，选项B的debitcard（借记卡）虽然可以用于支付，但通常需要先从账户中扣除相应金额，而不是直接支付现金。选项C的cash虽然可以直接支付，但通常不是唯一的支付方式。因此，选项D的creditcard是唯一可以选择的支付方式。'Your

Keep

(

)

A:a

good

tasteB:tastedC:good

tastesD:in

taste答案:AI参考:正确选项是【A:a

good

taste】。\n\n原文中使用了感叹号，表达了强烈的情感，同时使用了“have”这个动词，表示拥有某种感觉或体验。因此，选项A“agoodtaste”最符合语境，表示“味道好极了”。选项B“tasted”是过去式，表示品尝过后的感觉，与原文不符。选项C“goodtastes”不符合语法规则，应该使用单数形式的名词。选项D“intaste”不符合英文表达习惯，也不符合语法规则。因此，选项A是正确答案。'Howdoyoudescribeapersonwhoisveryorganized?（）

A:Youaremessy.B:Youhaveittogether.C:YouareA-type.D:Youarescatterbrained.答案:AI参考:正确选项是【B:Youhaveittogether.】\n\n这个问题的答案是在描述一个非常有组织的人时应该如何描述他，而选项B中的"Youhaveittogether"恰好符合这个描述，表示这个人非常有条理、有组织，因此是正确答案。选项A、C、D中的描述都不符合有组织的人的特点。'How
