题目解答
答案
A. She was so reluctant to accept the invitation that she never responded to it.
解析
本题考查对单词“reluctant”的正确用法的理解。解题思路是分析每个选项中“reluctant”的使用是否符合语法和语义逻辑。
- 选项A:“She was so reluctant to accept the invitation that she never responded to it.” 中 “reluctant” 用来描述人不愿意做某事,符合语法和语义逻辑,“be reluctant to do sth.” 是常见的表达。
- 选项B:“He felt reluctant about the idea, but he couldn't wait to try it.” 中 “reluctant” 一般不用于 “be reluctant about sth.” 这种表达,通常是 “be reluctant to do sth.” ,所以该选项用法错误。
- 选项C:“The reluctant wind blew fiercely through the trees.” 中 “reluctant” 不能用来修饰 “wind” ,因为 “reluctant” 主要是用来描述人或动物的心理状态,所以该选项用法错误。
- 选项D:“He took a reluctant step forward, full of enthusiasm.” 中 “reluctant” 和 “full of enthusiasm” 语义矛盾,“reluctant” 表示不愿意,而 “full of enthusiasm” 表示充满热情,所以该选项用法错误。
