问题 The child was on the ______ of tears when his mother asked him what had happened to him.
选项 A、verge
B、border
C、margin
D、rim
答案A
解析 近义词辨析。四个选项都有“边界”的意思，但有区别：verge意为“边沿，起始点，临界点行为、状态或情况；在超过时可能开始或发生的一点”，如：on the verge of tears(几乎要流泪了)；border意为“边境；国界，边；边缘”，如：a blue dress with a white border(一件镶有白边的蓝衣服)；margin意为“边缘，极限；一种情况或过程的极点”，如：the margin of reality(接近真实)；rim意为“边；缘；框架”，如：the rim of a hat (帽边)。根据题意，这个小孩快要哭出来，表示临界点行为，所以正确答案为verge。
