练习 1
According to Bruno, Susie has really done a thorough job in her .
According to Bruno, Susie has really done a thorough job in her research.
research: This is the best choice here. "You've done your homework" is an idiom which means "you have done your research" or "you know what you're talking about". "Thorough", in this context, means very careful and complete, for example: Our pharmaceutical tests were very thorough, we checked everything at least a hundred times to ensure there were no errors.
travel arrangements: When Bruno says "You've really done your homework", he is not referring to to Susie's travel arrangements, but Susie's general work on the ad campaign.
sales: When Bruno says "You've really done your homework", he is not referring to "sales", but Susie's general work on the ad campaign.
school work: Because Bruno is not a teacher and Susie is not a student, and they are speaking in an office not a classroom, this choice is incorrect. "Homework" is being used as an analogy for Susie's research and preparation.
练习 2
"It seems that you're doing quite well for yourself", Bruno thinks that Mr. Wang .
"I see that you have done your homework Mr. Delavigne", Mr. Wang says that Bruno .
"I see that you have done your homework Mr. Delavigne", Mr. Wang says that Bruno .
"It seems that you're doing quite well for yourself", Bruno thinks that Mr. Wang is making a good living 1.
"I see that you have done your homework Mr. Delavigne", Mr. Wang says that Bruno has done his research 2.
"I see that you have done your homework Mr. Delavigne", Mr. Wang says that Bruno has done his research 2.
1 is making a good living: This is correct. The phrase "you're doing (so) well for yourself" is often used to congratulate someone for achieving a lot in their life, being professionally successful or earning a lot of money. "To make a (good) living" means to being financially successful with work.
1 looks very healthy: This is an incorrect choice. To "look healthy" is not the meaning of the phrase "you're doing quite well for yourself". Note the difference between "I am well" (I am physically good) and "I am doing well" (things are good or satisfactory).
1 speaks very well: This is an incorrect choice. When Bruno says "It seems that you're doing quite well for yourself", this does not mean that he thinks Mr. Wang speaks well.
1 is buying himself a lot of things: This is incorrect. This does not share the same meaning as "doing well for oneself" which indicates having financial success.
2 has done his research: This is the correct answer. In a business context "to do one's homework" means to prepare or do preliminary work before an event, such as meeting an important client, for example. Mr. Wang uses this expression because he realises that Bruno has a lot of information about him and his "recent success in the cosmetics industry."
2 looks to be in good shape: This is incorrect. To "do (one's) homework" is not in any way related to being "in good shape". To be "in good shape" means to be in good physical or mental condition.
2 works very hard: This is incorrect. The idiom "to do (one's) homework" is not related to how hard you work, but if you have done research and collected the right background information.
2 has done the work that Wang asked him to do: This is incorrect. Used in this context, the idiom "to do one's homework" does not mean that Mr. Wang asked Bruno to do work for him. Mr. Wang is actually congratulating Bruno on the correct and complete information that Bruno has researched and prepared on him.
