扫清困惑
So (45)
instead of
tying him up, I just kept a close eye on him. It (46)
worked
—he didn't end up in the creek. My three-year-old, however, did.
困惑： 易错题（46题）
分析： 本题的易错选项是C项，属于“忽略上下文提示”的错误类型。A项worked的词义为“起作用”，B项happened的词义为“发生”，C项mattered的词义为“事关紧要”，D项changed的词义为“改变”。 同学们会发现，B、D项代入文章后均不符合文意，所以很多同学会选择C项，以为该句意为“这个方法很重要”。但是根据破折号后面的he didn't end up in the creek这个结果判断，这个方法应该是起作用了、奏效了，所以作者的小儿子没有掉进小溪里。所以排除C项而选A项。
