43.Today Bob was late again for class because he overslept (睡过头), but he _______an excuse of being ill.
A. looked up B.made up C. put up D. took up
答案解析:
选B(made up)。本题考查up短语语义辨析。句意为:今天Bob因为睡过头上课又迟到了,但是他却编造借口说生病了。look up查阅,向上看,拜访;make up编造,组成,补足,化妆;put up建造,举起;took up拿起,接受,开始从事。根据句意以及空白处与其后面名词的搭配,选make up,make up an excuse编造一个理由/借口。
