This is not the first time in his career that Mr Bond has stood on the____of bankruptcy.( )
A. blink
B. range
C. side
D. brink
题目解答
答案
D. brink
解析
本题考查固定短语的搭配。关键点在于理解短语 "on the brink of" 的含义,该短语表示“濒临,处于…的边缘”,常用于描述危险或重大转折点的情境(如破产、灾难等)。学生需根据句意排除干扰项,选择正确的搭配词。
选项分析
A. blink:意为“眨眼;闪烁”,与“濒临破产”无关,排除。
B. range:意为“范围;广泛”,无法表达“边缘”的含义,排除。
C. side:意为“一边;侧面”,虽有“边缘”之意,但与“bankruptcy”搭配不符合固定用法,排除。
D. brink:意为“边缘”,与“bankruptcy”构成固定短语 "on the brink of bankruptcy"(濒临破产),符合句意。
