A. capitalize on
B. open the door to
C. sweep the board
D. think outside the box
E. cater to
题目解答
答案
A. capitalize on
解析
本题考查动词短语的语境辨析，核心在于理解每个选项的固定搭配及具体含义。关键点在于明确句子中"opportunities presented by international partnerships"的语境，需选择能准确表达"有效利用机会"的短语。
选项分析
A. capitalize on
- 固定搭配：表示"利用（机会）"，强调通过机会获取最大利益，如：capitalize on a trend（顺应趋势）。
B. open the door to
- 含义：意为"为...创造机会"，但题目中已明确提到"opportunities presented"（已存在的机会），与语境不符。
C. sweep the board
- 含义：指"大获全胜"，与"利用机会"无关，排除。
D. think outside the box
- 含义：强调"创新思维"，但题目未涉及创新，排除。
E. cater to
- 含义：意为"迎合需求"，与"主动利用机会"的语境不符，排除。
