选项
A、smoothed over
B、boiled over
C、broke down
D、burst out
答案
B
解析
词义惯用搭配。smooth over(=make smooth,put right;palliate)平息,调停;掩饰。例如:1)I will try to smooth their quarrel over.(我将设法平息他们的争吵)。2)Don’t try to smooth over your fault.(不要设法掩饰你的过错)。boil over处于危急关头,爆发:The situation is about to boil over.(形势大有一触即发之势)。boil over into爆发成为。break down作及物动词用时,意为"拆毁,压倒;把…分类";作不及物动词用时,意为"(汽车、电视机、电梯等)出毛病而不能工作;垮台,崩溃"。burst out冲出;喊叫;突然表示出。从上下文的逻辑意思看,选boiled over符合句意。
