This is an incomplete sentence and four choices marked A., B., C. and D. Choose the best one of them to complete the sentence.
Doctors say that this type of flu is most _ in the first forty-eight hours.
A. effective
B. affectionate
C. infectious
D. facetious
题目解答
答案
C. infectious
解析
本题考查对词汇含义的理解和在特定语境中的运用。解题思路是先明确句子的大致意思,即医生说这种类型的流感在最初的四十八小时内具有某种特性,然后依次分析每个选项的的含义,看哪个选项能使句子逻辑通顺。
- A选项选项“effective:“effective”意为“有效的”,通常用于描述方法、措施等能够达到预期的效果。例如:This method is very effective in solving the problem.(这种方法对于解决问题非常有效。)在本题中,说流感在最初四十八小时内是“有效的”,不符合逻辑,所以A选项不正确。
- B选项affectionate:“affectionate”表示“深情的;充满爱意的”,一般用来形容人或情感。比如:She gave her mother an affectionate hug.(她给了母亲一个深情的拥抱。)显然,该词不能用来描述流感不合适,B选项错误。
- C选项infectious:“infectious”意思是“传染性的”,流感本身就有容易传播、感染他人的意思。在描述流感时,说流感在最初的四十八小时内传染性最强,是符合医学常识和逻辑的。所以C选项正确。
- D选项facetious:“facetious”指“滑稽的;爱开玩笑的”,一般用于形容人的性格或言语风格。例如:He made a facetious remark.(他说了一句滑稽的话。)此词与流感的语境不相符,D选项错误。
