Question

Those who want to say anything more _________ your hands and then_______ to speak.

A．rise; raise

B．raise; rise

C．raise; raise

D．rise; rise

Answer 1

B

试题分析：raise one’s hand举手；rise站起来。句意：想要说某事的那些人举起手，然后站起来就开始说。根据句意故选B。raise是及物动词,其主语通常是人；而rise是不及物动词,其主语通常是物。例如:
I feel I must raise my voice against suggested changes in the law.我认为我必须对该法律所提出的修改条款提出反对。
raise和rise用于同一事物时含义不同。例如:
The price of TV sets has been raised recently.
最近电视机提价了。
(政府或厂家主动行动)
The price of TV sets has risen recently.
最近电视机提价了。
(市场调节)
