题目解答
答案
这道题考察的是介词的使用。句子的意思是:“她仍然让自己依附于那微小的希望,希望有人能为她改变一切。”
我们需要填入一个介词,使得句子通顺并且意思完整。在英语中,动词“cling”(依附、紧抓)通常与介词“to”搭配使用,表示“依附于”或“紧抓着”。因此,正确的介词应该是“to”。
完整的句子是:
She still let herself cling to the slight hope that there might be someone who would make things different for her.
解析:
- “cling to” 是一个常见的固定搭配,意思是“依附于”或“紧抓着”。
- “the slight hope” 指的是“微小的希望”。
- “that there might be someone who would make things different for her” 是一个从句,解释了希望的内容。
因此,正确答案是:
She still let herself cling to the slight hope that there might be someone who would make things different for her.
解析
考查要点:本题主要考查英语中动词与介词的固定搭配。
解题核心:明确动词“cling”的常见搭配形式,即“cling to”,表示“依附于”或“紧抓着”。
关键点:需回忆或掌握“cling to”这一固定短语的用法,理解其在句中的语境意义。
步骤解析:
- 分析句子结构:
句子中“cling”为动词,其后需接介词构成完整短语。 - 确定固定搭配:
“Cling”与介词“to”搭配,表示“依附于”或“紧抓着”。例如:- She clings to every word he says.(她紧紧抓住他说的每一句话。)
- 验证语境合理性:
原句中“the slight hope”是“cling to”的宾语,表示“依附于微小的希望”,符合句意。
