题目解答

答案

我们来一步一步分析这道题目。 题目要求我们从四个选项中选择一个最佳选项，填入句子空白处，使句子意思完整且符合上下文语境。 原句是： > The child may spend every single cent of the daily pocket money by _______ junk food, as they know they will get another sum of money the next day. 这句话的意思是：孩子可能会把每天的零花钱**全部花在**_______垃圾食品上，因为他们知道第二天还会拿到钱。 我们来分析关键词： - “spend every single cent” 表示“把每一分钱都花掉”。 - “by _______ junk food” 表示“通过……垃圾食品的方式花钱”。 - 后半句“as they know they will get another sum of money the next day”说明孩子没有节省的动力，因为明天还会有钱。 所以，这里应该表达的是：孩子会**过度消费**垃圾食品，把钱都花光。 我们来看四个选项： A. **quitting** —— 意思是“放弃，戒掉”。 “by quitting junk food” 意思是“通过戒掉垃圾食品”，这和“spend every single cent（花光每一分钱）”矛盾。如果戒掉了，就不会花钱买了。所以这个选项**不符合逻辑**。 B. **giving up** —— 意思也是“放弃”。 “by giving up junk food” 意思是“通过放弃吃垃圾食品”，同样，这会导致不花钱，而不是花光钱。也**不符合语境**。 C. **eating too much** —— 意思是“吃太多”。 “by eating too much junk food” 意思是“通过吃太多垃圾食品”，这正好解释了为什么孩子会把钱都花光——因为他们每天买很多垃圾食品吃。这**符合上下文逻辑**，也和前文提到的“overindulging in junk food（过度沉溺于垃圾食品）”相呼应。 D. **eating a little** —— 意思是“吃一点点”。 如果只吃一点点，就不会花光钱，也不符合“spend every single cent”。所以这个选项**不合理**。 此外，原文前一段也提到： > The child may spend every single cent of the daily pocket money by overindulging in junk food... 这里的“overindulging in junk food”就是“过度放纵地吃垃圾食品”，和选项 C “eating too much junk food” 意思完全一致。 因此，正确答案是： **C. eating too much** --- **答案：C** **解析总结**：根据上下文，孩子每天拿到零花钱后，因为知道第二天还会有，所以容易过度消费垃圾食品，把钱花光。选项中只有“eating too much”能准确表达这种“过度消费”的行为，且与文中“overindulging in junk food”相呼应。 \boxed{C}

解析

本题考查对文章内容的理解以及词汇在语境中的运用。解题的关键在于理解句子前后的逻辑关系，根据孩子知道第二天会拿到零花钱这一情况，推断出他们会如何使用当天的零花钱，同时结合前文提到的相关表述来确定正确选项。

  1. 首先分析句子 “The child may spend every single cent of the daily pocket money by _____ junk food, as they know they will get another sum of money the next day.” 的含义，孩子会把每天的零花钱全部花在某种与垃圾食品相关的行为上，原因是他们知道第二天还会有钱。
  2. 接着看选项A “quitting”，意思是“放弃，戒掉”。“by quitting junk food” 表示通过戒掉垃圾食品，这与“spend every single cent（花光每一分钱）”相矛盾，因为戒掉垃圾食品就不会花钱购买，所以A选项不符合逻辑。
  3. 选项B “giving up” 同样是“放弃”的意思。“by giving up junk food” 即通过放弃吃垃圾食品，这也会导致不花钱，不符合花光钱的语境，所以B选项不正确。
  4. 选项C “eating too much” 意为“吃太多”。“by eating too much junk food” 表示通过吃太多垃圾食品，这很好地解释了孩子为什么会把钱花光，因为他们每天买很多垃圾食品吃，符合上下文逻辑，并且与前文提到的 “overindulging in junk food（过度沉溺于垃圾食品）” 意思一致。
  5. 选项D “eating a little” 是“吃一点点”的意思。如果只吃一点点垃圾食品，就不会花光钱，不符合“spend every single cent” 的描述，所以D选项不合理。
