②the poem is hard to understand. can you make of this poem? （•01•遼寧大連檢測）
a. idea b. knowledge
c. sense d. understanding
解析: ①選b。make sense為固定搭配，意思是“起作用，有意義”。
②選c。make sense of sth.“理解或弄懂困難的或無法理解的事物”。另外，sense還可作動詞，意為“意識到(某事物)；感覺到”。
重點句型
13. so many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak.
每次暴發(fā)（霍亂）時，都有大批驚恐的老百姓死去。
本句是一個復合句，every time引導的是一個時間狀語從句，意思是“每當……”，相當于“when”。另外，此狀語從句中還有一個“there be”結(jié)構(gòu)。so many thousands of terrified people died是主句。
