When Miss Green began to something, the children stopped and became quiet.
A. speak; telling
B. tell; speaking
C. talk; saying
D. say; talking

A. speak; tellingB. tell; speakingC. talk; saying(答案→)D. say; talking解析：句意：当格林老师开始说一些事情的时候，孩子们停止了说话并变得安静了。本题考查speak，tell，talk和say这几个词用法的区别。有第一个空后面的something可知前面的动词应为及物动词speak只有在表示讲某种语言时才是及物动词；talk是不及物动词，say后面加说话内容，为及物动词；tell为及物动词，意为“告诉”。第二个空后没有接名词，故动词应该为不及物动词。综合以上分析，本题应选D。
