Question

The shot was well ________ of the goal keeper, _______ the player a chance.

A．within reach; to give	B．beyond reach; giving
C．beyond the reach; giving	D．out the reach; to give

Answer 1

C

解析试题分析：beyond the reach of sb/ out of the reach of sb 在某人够不着的地方；within the reach of sb在某人够得着的地方；这几个短语中的the reach of sb可以换成sb’s reach。第二空用现在分词，表示顺其自然的结果。句意：这次射门使守门员鞭长莫及，这就给了那个运动员一个机会。
考点：考查固定短语及非谓语动词。
