11. Inside his lab, the scientist was ___ with his groundbreaking research, barely noticing the passage of time.
A. impressed
B. confronted
C. equipped
D. preoccupied
题目解答
答案
D. preoccupied
解析
本题考查动词短语的固定搭配,核心在于理解preoccupied with的用法。句子中“barely noticing the passage of time”提示科学家因专注于研究而忽略时间,需选择能表达“全神贯注于某事”的选项。preoccupied with表示“被某事占据心思”,是正确答案。
选项分析
- A. impressed:意为“印象深刻”,通常搭配为be impressed with(对...感到钦佩),但此处强调专注而非印象,排除。
- B. confronted:意为“面对”,搭配be confronted with(遭遇挑战),与“专注研究”的语境不符,排除。
- C. equipped:意为“装备”,搭配be equipped with(配备工具),与句意无关,排除。
- D. preoccupied:意为“全神贯注”,搭配be preoccupied with(专注于某事),符合科学家因研究而忽略时间的情境。
