题目解答
答案
C. consisted
解析
本题考查动词词义辨析以及固定搭配的用法。解题的关键在于理解每个选项单词的含义,并判断其与题目中“of”搭配的合理性。
- A选项“constituted”:“constitute”意为“组成;构成”,它是及物动词,通常的用法是“sth. constitute sth. else”,不需要与“of”搭配。例如:Twelve months constitute a year.(十二个月构成一年。)所以A选项不符合本题的用法,予以排除。
- B选项“composed”:“compose”也有“组成;构成”的意思,但它常用的搭配是“be composed of”,表示“由……组成”,而题目中没有“be”动词,所以B选项也不正确,排除。
- C选项“consisted”:“consist”是不及物动词,其常见搭配为“consist of”,意思是“由……组成;由……构成”,符合本题的语境和语法要求。在本题中“Each group consisted of around 120 adults...”表示“每个小组由大约120名年龄和教育程度相似的成年人组成”,所以C选项正确。
- D选项“consulted”:“consult”意为“咨询;请教;查阅”,与题目中表达“组成”的意思不相关,所以D选项不符合题意,排除。
