【单选题】5、American people are not very happy on April 15, when the federal taxes are ( )
A. high
B. near
C. close
D. due
题目解答
答案
D. due
解析
本题考查语境理解和词义辨析能力。关键点在于理解“April 15”是美国联邦税的截止日期,需选择能表达“到期”含义的形容词。需注意选项中词语的搭配是否符合英语习惯用法。
选项分析
A. high
- “high”表示“高的”,但未体现“截止”或“到期”的含义,无法与“taxes”构成合理搭配。
B. near
- “near”意为“接近”,但“taxes are near”表述不完整,需补充“deadline”(截止日期)才能表达“接近截止日期”的含义。
C. close
- “close”与“near”类似,表示“接近”,但“taxes are close”同样搭配不当,需依赖上下文补充信息。
D. due
- “due”意为“到期的”,“taxes are due”是固定搭配,直接表达“税款到期需缴纳”的含义,符合美国4月15日联邦税截止日的语境。
