试题答案

答案:C

解析:

本题题意:“唯恐赶不上火车,他很早就赶到了车站。”for fear of“唯恐;以免(发生危险)”,强调主观的担心;in case of“如果;万一”,强调客观上的可能。例如:In case of rain they can’t go.万一下雨,他们就不能去了。instead of“代替、而不是;不……而……”。例如:We’ll have tea in the garden instead of in the house.我们将改在花园喝茶,而不在屋里喝。in search of(=in one’s/the search for)意思为“寻找”。例如:The children went in search of their lost dog.孩子们去寻找他们丢失的狗。
