-What’s the matter with John? He has been sitting there for hours.
-A postcard from his father   an attack of home-sickness in him.
A.took upB.set offC.brought inD.built up
B

试题分析:短语辨析。A占据,从事于,开始做;B引起,使…发生;C介绍,引进,赚钱;D逐步建立;句意:—John怎么了?他坐在那里好几个小时了。—爸爸给他寄的一张明信片让他开始想家了。本题中的set off指引起的意思。故B正确。
点评:本题的四个短语都是高考的重点短语。尤其是AB项更是重点,要注意其一词多义的现象。
