The little ______ most of us carry around are so powerful that they change not only what we do but also who we are. A tools B instruments C devices D equipments
题目解答
答案
本题考察名词辨析。A项“tools”不符合语境,B项“instruments”虽可表示小型设备,但不如C项“devices”贴切。D项“equipments”语法错误,应排除。C项“devices”最符合句意,指代现代电子设备(如智能手机),且与“carry around”搭配自然。完整句子为:
"The little devices most of us carry around are so powerful that they change not only what we do but also who we are."
答案:C. devices
解析
本题考查名词辨析,核心在于区分四个选项在具体语境中的适用性。关键点在于:
- 语境理解:句子强调现代人随身携带的物品对行为和身份的深远影响,暗示这些物品是小型电子设备(如手机、平板等)。
- 选项辨析:需结合词义范围(如
tools更泛化,devices更具体指向电子设备)和语法正确性(如equipments错误)。
选项分析
A. tools
- 工具,通常指物理工具(如锤子、螺丝刀),与“改变行为和身份”的语境关联性较弱。
B. instruments
- 仪器/工具,多指精密或专业设备(如测量仪器、医疗设备),但不如
devices贴合日常随身电子设备。
C. devices
- 设备/装置,特指小型电子设备(如智能手机、智能手表),与“carry around”搭配自然,且能体现其对行为和身份的深刻影响。
D. equipments
- 错误选项,
equipment是不可数名词,复数形式不存在,直接排除。
结论:devices最符合语境和语法要求。
