问题补充:
It him an hour to play basket ball every day.
A. spends
B. took
C. costs
D. takes
答案:
A. spends
B. took
C. costs
(答案→)D. takes
解析:take 用于 it takes sb . . . to do sth句型,仅指花费时间(three hours等),必须用it作形式主语,指代下文不定式内容;spend用于sb spend. . . on sth或者sb spend. . . in doing sth(in可以省略),spend的主语必须是人,可以指花费时间、也可以指花费金钱;cost用于 sth costs sb sth,主语必须是物,多指花费金钱,少数情况可指花费时间、气力,有时表示成本的消耗;句意:每天打篮球花费他一个小时的时间.结合语境可知本句描述的是经常性的动作,故用一般现在时态,选D.
