2.The ___ of responsibility on her shoulders was heavy, but she knew she could handle it.
A. strength
B. load
C. power
D. force
题目解答
答案
B. load
解析
本题考查固定搭配和名词的用法。关键点在于理解短语“the ___ of responsibility”的常见表达。“load”在此意为“重担、负担”,与“responsibility”搭配表示“责任的重担”,是固定用法。其他选项虽含“力量”之意,但与“of responsibility”搭配不当。
选项分析
A. strength
“Strength” 强调“力量、能力”,通常指体力或精神上的力量(如“inner strength”)。但“the strength of responsibility”不符合常见搭配,且句中强调“重担”,而非“力量”。
B. load
“Load” 指“负担、重担”,常与抽象名词(如 responsibility, burden)搭配。短语“the load of responsibility”表示“肩上的责任重担”,符合语境。
C. power
“Power” 指“权力、能力”,多用于具体场景(如“power of decision”)。与“responsibility”搭配时,无法体现“重担”之意。
D. force
“Force” 强调“强制力、力量”,多用于物理或强制性情境(如“force of habit”)。与“responsibility”搭配不合逻辑。
