1.his total world possession__little more than the clothes he stood up in.
A.amounted B.amounted to C.added D.added up
为什么选B呢?
2.after many years__efforts to surpass the other by all means ,both of them ended in being fired by board.
A.concited B.vain C.aimless D.empirical
为什么选B呢?

1.amount to 共计
整句的意思是 他在这个世界上所有的个人财产总共不超过他站着穿的那套衣服.
意思就是 他所有的个人财产总共就是身上的那套衣服.
A和C选项没有这种用法 D 要变成add up to 也是对的
2.根据后半句的意思 他们两个最后都被董事会开除了.
所以说他们这些年想要超过别人的努力都是徒劳的,没有用的
所以只有B vain 徒劳的,无用的,无效的 最符合题意
