问题 Although we had told them not to keep us waiting, they made no ______ to speed up deliveries.

选项 A、trial
B、attempt
C、action
D、progress

答案B

解析 试题涉及动词与名词构成动宾短语时的习惯搭配问题。如:我们说give sth.a trial“试用一下”,make a trial of sth.“对……进行试验”;make an attempt to do sth.“努力做……”;take action to do sth.“采取行动做……”;make progress in…“在……方面取得进步”。从结构搭配上看,已排除了A、C、D。从意义上看,trial和attempt有时都可作“试试”讲,但其含义是完全不同的:trial指“对某物进行试验,看其质量、价值、用途如何”,如:They gave the new machine a trial to see whether it would work.“他们对新机器进行试机,看运转是否正常。”attempt指“为某事作出的努力”。本句的意思是:“虽然我们已经告诉他们不要让我们等待,但他们并没有努力加快投递速度。”
