Try not to cough more than you can ___ since it may cause problems to your lungs.
A . check
B . allow
C . stop
D . help
答案【D】
题目解析:本题考查动词的意义辨析。A项check“检查,核对”;B项allow“允许”;C项stop“停止”;D项help在这里不表示“帮助”,而是表示“control it or stop it happening”。根据句意“既然咳嗽可能引起肺病,那么你能不咳嗽就尽量不要咳嗽。”可知,more than you can help是“除非忍不住;尽量控制……”的意思。A、B、C三项填入空白处都与句意不符,故答案选D项,它既符合逻辑又符合句意。
