选项 A、hold back
B、hold on
C、hold out
D、hold up
答案A
解析 此题考短语动词的习惯用法。hold back意为restrain“抑制，克制”，也作keepback，refrain from，常接表示情感意义的词，有时也用hold in；作“阻碍，阻止”讲时要用hold back。hold back one’s laughter(tears，excitement，fear)“忍住不笑(控制住眼泪，克制住激动的心情，抑制住恐惧)”。Shortage of capital was a factor holdingback economic development．缺乏资金是阻碍经济发展的一个因素。hold on“坚持下去，(打电话时)别挂”，hold on to sth．“紧紧抓住”。The custom held on for two genera—tions．这个风俗延续了两代。He was determined to hold on to the job whatever difficul—ties he might run into．他下决心不管碰到什么困难，都要坚持做这个工作。hold out“伸出，提出”； “顶住，维持”。如：hold out the hand of friendship and cooperationto…“向……伸出友谊与合作之手”；hold out promise“作出承诺”。How long can wehold out against the attack?我们对进攻能抵抗多久?The water won’t hold out muchlonger．水维持不了多久了。hold up“使停止耽搁，拦截”。如：Work on the buildingsite was held up by the bad weather．建筑工地的作业因天气不好而停止(耽搁)。Theautomobile was held up in broad daylight．汽车在光天化日之下被拦截。题句意为：那个爱尔兰挤奶女工看着我费劲地把牛拉向牛棚的样子，强忍住不笑出声来。[不是已笑出声来而停止(hold up)，更不是坚持笑下去(hold on，hold out)。]
