Oh,______."A.eitherdoeswellB.eitheronewilldoC.eachoneisgoodD.eachwillbefine正确答案：B[解析]问句中用了mydriver'slicenseormypassport.，答句中要么是两个都要，用bothofthemwilldo表示；要么是两者都不要，用neitherofthemwilldo；要么是要其中之一，应该用eitheronewilldo表示，即选项B。表示“两者之一”，用either，不能用each，因此就排除掉选项C和D。而选项A则不符合表达习惯。either的意义和用法再例如：HelivedinLondonandManchester，buthedoesn'tlikeeithercityverymuch.(他曾在伦敦和曼彻斯特居住，但这两个城市他都不是很喜欢。)Eitheroftheplansisequallydangerous.(这两项计划是同样危险的。)do在这里是指“行，可以”。如：Itwon'tdoforustobelate.(我们迟到了可不行。)No,thatwon'tdo；it'stoorisky.(不，那不行，那样太冒险了。)
