题目解答
答案
C. entitles
解析
本题考查动词词义辨析,解题的关键在于理解每个选项动词的含义,并结合句子语境判断哪个动词能准确表达“季票”与“持有者”之间的关系。
- A选项“grants”:“grant”常见的意思是“授予;给予(权利、许可等)”,通常用于上级对下级、政府等给予某种权利或资源,一般搭配“grant sb. sth.” ,例如 “The government granted them permission to build a new factory.(政府授予他们建造新工厂的许可。)” ,在本题语境中,“季票”并非上级或政府,用“grants”不太合适。
- B选项“promises”:“promise”意为“承诺;答应”,强调说话者做出的保证,通常搭配“promise sb. to do sth.” 或 “promise sth. to sb.” ,例如 “He promised me to help me with my homework.(他答应我帮我做作业。)” ,“季票”本身不会做出承诺,所以该选项不符合题意。
- C选项“entitles”:“entitle”有“使有权利;给予……资格”的意思,常用搭配“entitle sb. to do sth.” ,表示“使某人有权利做某事”。在本题中,“A season ticket entitles the holder to make as many journeys as he wished within the stated period of time.” 意思是“季票使持有者有权在规定的时间内随意旅行”,符合句子的逻辑和语境。
- D选项“presents”:“present”作动词时,有“呈现;赠送;介绍”等意思,常见搭配“present sth. to sb.” 或 “present sb. with sth.” ,例如 “He presented a book to his friend.(他送了一本书给他的朋友。)” ,“季票”不能“呈现”或“赠送”持有者去旅行的权利,所以该选项不正确。
