题目解答

答案

  1. 根据句意，“I made it on the _”表示“我被录取了”，应填入“list”或“waitlist”。结合上下文，这里指“候补名单”，故填“waitlist”。
  2. 句中“Few people would _ their place”表示“很少有人会放弃他们的位置”，应填入“give up”，表示“放弃”。
  3. “So what do you plan on _?”需要填入“majoring in”或“studying”，表示“主修什么”。结合语境，这里应填“majoring in”。
  4. “I'm _ psychology”表示“我打算主修心理学”，应填入“majoring in”，与前文“thinking about”形成对比。

最终答案：

  1. I wanted to go to Stanford. I made it on the waitlist.
  2. Few people would give up their place if they were accepted to Stanford.
  3. So what do you plan on majoring in?
  4. I was thinking about social science, but now I'm majoring in psychology.

解析

本题考查英语动词短语的搭配及上下文逻辑关系的理解。四个句子均围绕大学申请和专业选择展开，需根据语境选择恰当的短语或词汇。

  1. 第一空需理解“made it on the...”的隐含含义，联系大学录取流程；
  2. 第二空需表达“放弃已获得的位置”，注意动词短语的固定搭配；
  3. 第三空需根据“plan on”推断与大学学习相关的动词短语；
  4. 第四空需结合上下文逻辑，体现从“考虑”到“决定”的转变。

第1题

关键点：“made it on the...”中的“it”指代“被录取”，而“list”需具体化为“waitlist”（候补名单），因直接被录取通常用“accepted”，而“waitlist”表示未最终确定。

第2题

关键点：“give up”意为“放弃”，与“place”搭配符合“放弃已获得的录取资格”的语境，其他选项如“reject”不符合主语“Few people”的逻辑。

第3题

关键点：“plan on”后需接名词或动名词，表示“主修”需用“majoring in”或“studying”。结合大学语境，“majoring in”更贴切。

第4题

关键点：“thinking about”与“majoring in”形成对比，体现从“考虑”到“确定”的过程，需保持动词短语的一致性。
