本题考查英语词汇在具体语境中的运用能力,核心在于理解上下文逻辑关系并选择恰当的词语。关键点在于:
- 语境分析:后半句强调“错误放置信任”带来的负面结果,需选择表示“代价”或“风险”的词。
- 固定搭配:“carry a high price”是常见表达,意为“付出高昂代价”。
语境解析
句子结构对比:
- 前半句:信任是“必要条件”(positive)。
- 后半句:错误放置信任会“产生高____”(negative)。
选项辨析
- A. benefit(好处):与语境矛盾,排除。
- B. debt(债务):虽有“负担”之意,但搭配不常见。
- C. hope(希望):情感色彩不符,排除。
- D. price(代价):与“carry a high price”构成固定搭配,符合语境。
