Question

Five firemen ________ escaped death when a staircase collapsed beneath their feet.

A．hardly

B．nearly

C．narrowly

D．a(chǎn)lmost

Answer 1

C

考查固定搭配。題意：五名消防員死里逃生。narrowly escape意為“險(xiǎn)些逃脫不出來”。再如：narrowly miss the car from the opposite direction: 險(xiǎn)些撞上對面來的車。narrowly表示“雖然動作成功的機(jī)會很小，但成功了”。選擇C項(xiàng)。
