9. The children have been ______ since their father left.
A. out of style
B. under control
C. out of control
D. in style
题目解答
答案
C. out of control
解析
本题考查短语辨析,解题思路是理解每个选项短语的含义,再结合句子语境来选择合适的短语。
- A选项“out of style”:意为“过时的;不时髦的”。例如:This kind of clothes is out of style now.(这种衣服现在过时了。)在本题中,“孩子们自从他们父亲离开后变得过时”不符合逻辑,所以A选项不正确。
- B选项“under control”:表示“处于控制之下”。例如:The situation is now under control.(现在局势已得到控制。)而原句表达的应该是父亲离开后孩子们的状态不好,并非处于控制之下,所以B选项不合适。
- C选项“out of control”:意思是“失去控制;不受控制”。在句子“The children have been out of control since their father left.”中,表达孩子们自从父亲离开后就变得难以管束,符合语境,所以C选项正确。
- D选项“in style”:指“流行的;时髦的”。例如:She always dresses in style.(她总是穿着很时髦。)这与句子所表达的意思不相符,所以D选项错误。
