A. reference
B. consent
C. instruction
D. exception
题目解答
答案
A. reference
解析
本题考查名词词义辨析,需结合语境选择合适的选项。
步骤1:分析句子含义
句子大意:“把他的病______作为今天缺席的借口只会增加老师的怀疑。” 空格处需填入一个名词,与“to his illness”搭配,并符合“作为借口”的语境。
步骤2:逐一分析选项
- A. reference:常见含义为“提及;参考”,但在固定搭配中,reference to... as... 可表示“把……称作/作为……”。此处“reference to his illness as an excuse”即“把他的病作为缺席的借口”,符合句意。
- B. consent:意为“同意;许可”,与“as an excuse”(作为借口)逻辑不符,无法构成“同意他的病作为借口”的合理表达。
- C. instruction:意为“指示;教导”,与“illness”(疾病)搭配不当,且“把病作为指示”显然不符合语境。
- D. exception:意为“例外”,通常用于“with the exception of...”(除……之外)结构,与“to his illness as an excuse”无搭配关系,排除。
步骤3:确认固定搭配
“reference to... as...”是常见表达,此处指“把……称作/作为……”,代入后句子逻辑通顺:“把他的病作为今天缺席的借口只会增加老师的怀疑”,符合题意。
