题目解答
答案
A. upon
解析
本题考查知识点:动词短语搭配。
解题思路:本题需要判断与动词“came”搭配的介词,从而构成合适的短语来表达“偶然发现”的意思。我们需要对每个选项与“came”组成的短语含义进行分析,然后结合句子语境来确定正确答案。
解析:
- A选项:“came upon”是一个固定短语,意为“偶然遇见;偶然发现”。在句子“When I was strolling along the beach at sunset, I came ____ a beautiful seashell half - buried in the sand.”中,表达的是“当我在日落时分沿着海滩散步时,我偶然发现了一个半埋在沙子里的美丽贝壳”,该短语符合句子语境。
- B选项:“came at”常见含义有“扑向;攻击;达到”等,如“He came at me with a knife.”(他拿着刀向我扑来),与句子中“发现贝壳”的语境不符。
- C选项:“came out”有“出现;出版;结果是”等意思,例如“The stars came out as soon as it was dark.”(天一黑星星就出来了),不符合此处“偶然发现”的语义。
- D选项:“came over”有“过来;顺便来访;突然感到”等含义,比如“He came over to see me yesterday.”(他昨天来看我了),也不适合该句子的表达。
