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。”
