题目解答
答案
B. Excessive speed, often leading to carelessness
解析
本题考查对单词词义的理解。解题思路是根据句子的语境来推断“haste”的含义,同时分析每个选项的意思,看哪个选项最符合句子所表达的情境。
- 首先分析句子 “In his haste to catch the train, he left his briefcase on the platform.”,句子描述的是他因为某种状态去赶火车,结果把公文包落在了站台上。
- 接着看选项:
- A选项 “A feeling of joy” 意思是一种喜悦的感觉,喜悦的感觉与把公文包落在站台上没有直接关联,所以A选项不符合。
- B选项 “Excessive speed, often leading to carelessness” 意思是过度的速度,常常导致粗心大意。在赶火车的情境下,人们可能会因为赶时间而加快速度,从而变得粗心,把东西落在原地,这与句子中他把公文包落在站台上的情况相符,所以B选项正确。
- C选项 “A state of confusion” 意思是一种困惑的状态,困惑并不一定会直接导致把公文包落在站台上,所以C选项不符合。
- D选项 “A calm and measured pace” 意思是一种平静而有分寸的步伐,平静有分寸的步伐不太可能导致把东西落下,所以D选项不符合。
