题目解答
答案
解析
本题主要考查词汇在语境中的运用，解题关键在于根据句子的逻辑关系、搭配以及上下文语义来选择合适的词汇。
- 第19题：
- 句子描述“Chinese temples, Hindu temples, and Malay Muslim mosques”与“busy markets and towering skyscrapers”的位置关系，“around”表明寺庙和清真寺是围绕着市场和摩天大楼分布的。
- “cluster”有“聚集；群集”的意思，“cluster around”表示“聚集在……周围”，符合语境，所以选E。
- 第20题：
- 此处“and”连接两个并列的形容词来修饰“species”，“rare”意为“稀有的”。
- “exotic”表示“奇异的；外来的”，“rare and exotic species”即“稀有且奇异的物种”，语义相符，所以选A。
- 第21题：
- 根据常识，“rainforests”（雨林）通常用“tropical”（热带的）来修饰，“tropical rainforests”是固定表达，意为“热带雨林”，所以选J。
- 第22题：
- “cave”（洞穴）常与“exploration”（探索）搭配，“cave exploration”表示“洞穴探险”，符合句子中关于马来西亚国家公园活动的描述，所以选B。
- 第23题：
- “and”连接两个并列的形容词修饰“center”，“commercial”意为“商业的”。
- “financial”表示“金融的”，“commercial and financial center”即“商业和金融中心”，符合吉隆坡作为马来西亚首都和大城市的特点，所以选D。
- 第24题：
- “in harmony with”是固定短语，意为“与……和谐相处”，这里说城市的氛围与周围的自然和谐，符合语境，所以选G。
- 第25题：
- “minority groups”（少数民族群体）常用“ethnic”（种族的；民族的）来修饰，“ethnic minority groups”表示“少数民族群体”，所以选M。
