Question

The store had no more red shoes _____, so Mary chose brown ones instead.

A．in demand

B．in store

C．in need

D．in stock

Answer 1

　D

　　本題譯文: 這家商店沒有紅鞋供應(yīng)，所以瑪麗買了一雙宗色的鞋.in stock(="having" sth. ready to sell or use；in present supply) 有現(xiàn)貨供應(yīng): The shop has suger in stock.(這個(gè)商店有白糖供應(yīng).) in demand(=needed；wanted；) 有需求: The book about dogs was much in demand in the library.(="Many" people wanted to read the book about dogs that in the library.) in need(="in" poverty，in trouble)在貧困中，在困難中: A friend in need is a friend indeed。(A friend who helps when one is in trouble is areal friend.) in store(="saved" up in case of need； ready for use for some purpose) 儲備待用:于If the electricity goes off，we have candles in the closet.(="We" have candles put away if we need them for light.)(如果電燈滅了，我們壁櫥里還備有蠟燭.)
　　[注意] in stock 強(qiáng)調(diào)商店備有現(xiàn)貨以供出售，而 in store 則指儲備物品以供急需使用。此外 in store 還可以表示“等待著，必將發(fā)生”。例如: I have a surprise in store for you.(我有一個(gè)你料想不到的消息要告訴你。)
