Some people ______ their happiness to living a simple life and spending time with loved ones.
A. dedicate
B. attribute
C. commit
D. expect
题目解答
答案
B. attribute
解析
本题考查动词短语的固定搭配,核心在于区分选项中四个动词与介词to的常见用法。关键点在于理解attribute...to的固定结构,表示“将某事物归因于某原因”,而其他选项的搭配方式或语境与题干不符。
选项分析
A. dedicate
dedicate to表示“致力于、奉献于”,例如:
He dedicated his life to scientific research.(他致力于科学研究。)
但题干中“happiness”与“简单生活”之间是因果关系,而非奉献关系,因此不符合。
B. attribute
attribute...to表示“将某事物归因于某原因”,例如:
She attributes her success to hard work.(她将成功归因于努力。)
题干中“幸福”被归因于“简单生活和陪伴亲人”,符合语境。
C. commit
commit to表示“承诺、投入”,通常用于具体行动,例如:
They committed to reducing carbon emissions.(他们承诺减少碳排放。)
但此处强调因果关系,而非承诺,因此不适用。
D. expect
expect to do表示“期望做某事”,例如:
I expect to graduate next year.(我期望明年毕业。)
题干中“幸福”是已有的结果,而非未来的期望,因此不符合。
