题目解答
答案
根据上下文,句子“lower immunity may (6) women's risk of cancer”需要填入一个动词,与“risk”搭配。前文提到“lower immunity”(免疫力降低)会导致问题,结合选项:
- “raise”表示“提高”,符合“增加癌症风险”的语境。
- “rise”是不及物动词,不能直接接宾语。
- “drop”表示“降低”,与“risk”不符。
- “reduce”表示“减少”,与“lower immunity”导致的风险增加相反。
因此,正确答案是“raise”,表示“增加风险”。
答案:raise
解析
本题考查动词辨析,需根据语境选择合适的动词。关键点在于理解“lower immunity”(免疫力降低)与“risk of cancer”(患癌风险)之间的逻辑关系,以及动词的及物性。
句子“lower immunity may (6) women's risk of cancer”中,空格需填入一个动词,表示免疫力降低对患癌风险的影响。
- 语境分析:前文提到“lower immunity”是“a real problem”,说明免疫力降低会带来负面影响,即增加患癌风险。
- 选项对比:
- raise:表示“提高”,符合“增加风险”的语境,且是及物动词,可直接接宾语“risk”。
- rise:表示“上升”,但是不及物动词,不能直接跟宾语,需用“rise to”或“increase”。
- drop/reduce:均表示“减少”,与语境中“风险增加”矛盾。
- 结论:raise最符合语境和语法要求。
