题目解答
答案
D. anecdote
解析
本题考查对单词词义的理解和运用。解题思路是先明确句子的大致意思,即“在吃饭期间,他用他旅行的……来招待他们”,然后依次分析每个选项单词的含义,看哪个选项能使句子逻辑通顺。
- A选项“trim”:作名词时,“trim”意为“修剪;整齐;装饰”。例如:The trim on the dress is very beautiful.(这条裙子的装饰很漂亮。)将其代入句子中,“用旅行的修剪来招待他们”,语义不通,所以A选项不符合。
- B选项“gasp”:作名词时,“gasp”意为“喘气;喘息;倒抽气”。例如:He gave a gasp of surprise.(他惊讶地倒抽了一口气。)“用旅行的喘气来招待他们”,显然不符合逻辑,B选项不正确。
- C选项“voucher”:作名词时,“voucher”意为“代金券;凭证;收据”。例如:I have a voucher for a free meal.(我有一张免费餐券。)“用旅行的代金券来招待他们”,不符合句子表达的情境,C选项不合适。
- D选项“anecdote”:作名词时,“anecdote”意为“轶事;趣闻;奇闻”。例如:He told us some interesting anecdotes about his childhood.(他给我们讲了一些他童年的趣事。)“用他旅行的趣闻来招待他们”,语义通顺,符合句子逻辑,所以D选项正确。
