题目解答
答案
A
Being the eldest child in a busy household where both parents work long hours, she often carries the _______ of taking care of her younger siblings. 在一个父母都长时间工作的繁忙家庭中,作为长女,她经常承担照顾弟弟妹妹的责任。
A. burden n.负担,责任;负重,负荷;船的载重量,吨位
B. joy n.欢欣,高兴;使人高兴的人(或物),乐趣;成功,满足
C. annoyance n.烦恼,气恼;令人恼火的事
D. privilege n.特权,特殊待遇;荣幸,光荣;(富人或上层阶级的)权势
结合以上词汇含义和句子大意即可得出答案为 A. burden 。
解析
本题考查名词在具体语境中的准确运用。关键在于理解句子中“长女在父母工作繁忙的家庭中承担照顾弟妹的责任”这一情境,判断空格处应填入的词语所表达的情感色彩。“负担”或“责任”是核心解题点,需结合选项词义与语境匹配。
句子大意:在一个父母工作时间长的忙碌家庭中,作为长女,她经常承担照顾弟弟妹妹的责任。
选项分析:
- A. burden(负担/责任):强调因长期承担某事而产生的压力或职责,符合“长女不得不承担额外责任”的语境。
- B. joy(快乐):与语境不符,照顾弟妹虽可能带来满足感,但句中未体现积极情感。
- C. annoyance(烦恼):侧重短暂的 irritation,而句中强调“经常性承担”,程度不符。
- D. privilege(特权/荣幸):通常指“特殊权利”或“值得尊敬的事”,与“责任”语境矛盾。
结论:burden最能体现“责任带来的压力”,与句意高度契合。
