解析:選d。句意為:——我沒(méi)通過(guò)考試那段時(shí)間我很失望。——?jiǎng)e灰心。你遲早會(huì)成功的。第一個(gè)空考查的是when 引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,表示在某段時(shí)間里,故應(yīng)用in a time。而第二個(gè)空表示“遲早”,故用in time。

阻止;制止
the heavy rain prevented us from going there.
這場(chǎng)大雨使我們沒(méi)能到那里去。
易混辨析
prevent/stop/keep/protect
prevent, stop, keep與protect四者的常見(jiàn)結(jié)構(gòu)為:
prevent ...(from) doing sth.;stop ...(from) doing sth.;keep ...from doing sth.; 均表示“阻止……做某事”。
上述三個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)中,在主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)中stop 與prevent后可省去from,但在被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)中不可省略; 而keep ...from ...中的from在任何情況下都不能省略。另外,
protect ...from ...表示“保護(hù)……不受……侵襲;阻擋;防御”。from后接能帶來(lái)傷害或損害的事物。
this plan will be kept from being carried out.
這個(gè)計(jì)劃將被阻止實(shí)施。

a. prevent; to cut down b. stop; cutting down
c. keep; to cut down d. keep; cutting down
解析:選b。句意為:應(yīng)該派一些警察去阻止他們砍伐樹(shù)木。keep/prevent/stop ... from doing sth.阻止……做某事,其中keep ...from doing sth. 中的from不可省略。故選b。
