介副词填空(共8小题,16分) The company’s response seems to have been ____30____ best confused and at worst dishonest.
题目解答
答案
我们来看这个句子:
The company’s response seems to have been ____30____ best confused and at worst dishonest.
这是一个常见的英语表达结构,用来表示“在最好的情况下……,在最坏的情况下……”。
固定搭配是:at best ... and at worst ...
- “at best” 表示“充其量,顶多,最好的情况是”
- “at worst” 表示“在最坏的情况下”
所以,空格处应填入介词 at,构成 “at best confused and at worst dishonest” —— “最好的情况是混乱的,最坏的情况是不诚实的”。
解题过程:
- 分析句子结构:主语是 “The company’s response”,谓语是 “seems to have been”,后面接表语。
- “confused and at worst dishonest” 是并列的表语成分,前面应有一个与 “at worst” 对应的结构。
- “at worst” 前面通常与 “at best” 搭配使用,形成对比。
- 因此,空格处应填入 at,使 “at best confused” 与 “at worst dishonest” 结构对称、语义完整。
正确答案:
at
完整句子:
The company’s response seems to have been at best confused and at worst dishonest.
\boxed{at}
解析
本题考查固定搭配“at best”和“at worst”的用法。这两个短语通常用于表达对比性评价,前者表示“最好的情况”,后者表示“最坏的情况”。解题关键在于识别句子中需要填入的介词,并理解其与形容词的搭配关系。

分析句子结构
句子的主干为:
The company’s response seems to have been ____30____ best confused and at worst dishonest.
空格后的“best confused”和“at worst dishonest”是并列的表语成分,修饰主语“response”。 -
固定搭配匹配
“at worst”前通常需要与“at best”对应,形成结构对称的对比关系。例如:- At best, it was a risky plan; at worst, it was dangerous.
因此,空格处应填入介词 at,使短语“at best confused”与“at worst dishonest”语义完整。
- At best, it was a risky plan; at worst, it was dangerous.
