His behavior at the dinner party last night seemed rather _____. Many of us were very surprised.

  A. out of place                 B. out of practice

  C. out of bad manners       D. out of order

试题答案

A

解析:

考查词组out of place“不在应该的位置；不适当地”，本句意思是“他在昨晚的宴会上的举止很不适当，我们都很吃惊”。out of 与不同的名词搭配含义也不同，表示“在…范围之外”如out of sight/hearing“看不到；听不到”，表示“从中”如choose one out of these ten“从这十个中选一个”，表示“失去；欠缺”如out of patience/cash/work“没有耐心/现金/工作”，表示“因为；出于…”如out of kindness/shame/joy“出于好心/羞愧/高兴”，表示“（状态）从…离开”如out of date/danger/order/practice“过时/脱离危险/杂乱无章/生疏”。
