本题考查短语辨析。解题思路是先理解题干句子的整体意思,明确空格处需要填入一个能修饰句子、表达时间或状态的副词或短语,然后逐一分析各个选项的含义,看哪个选项能使句子在语法和语义上都通顺合理。
- 题干句子 “No effective solution has been found ____ to solve this complex environmental crisis.” 的主干是 “No effective solution has been found”,表示“还没有找到有效的解决方案”,后面的不定式短语 “to solve this complex environmental crisis” 作目的状语或后置定语。
- 选项A:“on end” 意为“连续不断地”,通常放在表示时间的名词后面,如 “for days on end”(连续好几天)。若将其放在题干空格处,语法和意思都不通顺。
- 选项B:“at large” 意为“逍遥法外的;普遍的;详尽的”,例如 “the suspect is still at large”(嫌疑犯仍在逃)。该选项填入句中意思不符。
- 选项C:“in vain” 意为“徒劳地,白费地”。若填入题干,句子变成“还没有找到有效的解决方案徒劳地来解决……”,逻辑不通。通常我们会说 “We tried in vain to solve...”(我们徒劳地尝试去解决……)。
- 选项D:“as yet” 意为“到目前为止,迄今为止”,常用于否定句或疑问句中,相当于 “yet”。填入句中,“No effective solution has been found as yet...” 意为“到目前为止,还没有找到有效的解决方案……”,非常符合语境和语法结构。
