题目解答

答案

解析

本题考查根据上下文逻辑关系和语境选择恰当词汇的能力。核心思路是通过分析句子结构、动词与名词的搭配、以及语境中的情感色彩来确定正确答案。关键点在于：

  1. 动词与名词的固定搭配（如"prejudice against"）
  2. 上下文逻辑关系（如"difficult decision"暗示放弃稳定工作）
  3. 情感色彩与语境匹配（如"impertinent nature"对应"pushed too much"）

As an employee

  1. hated
    原文"caught in the quandary of being in a well-paid job"暗示对工作的负面情绪，"hated"最能体现矛盾心理。

  2. prejudice
    "against women"是固定搭配，"prejudice"与"boss"构成逻辑关系，指性别歧视。

  3. secure job
    "difficult decision"暗示放弃的是稳定的收入来源，"secure job"符合语境。

  4. failure
    "ended up in"需要名词结果，"failure"与"chase her dreams"形成对比。

  5. pushed
    "impertinent nature"对应主动但过度的行为，"pushed too much"体现人际冲突。

As an employer

  1. left
    "clients left"是常见表达，指客户流失。

  2. owed
    "so much money"需要被动语态，"owed"表示债务关系。

  3. learn
    "adapt to changing market conditions"需要主动学习能力。

  4. fire
    "considered friends"与解雇形成情感矛盾，"fire"最贴切。
