D. civil
题目解答
答案
B. intimate
解析
本题考查对词汇含义的理解和运用。解题的关键在于准确把握每个选项单词的意思,并结合句子语境来判断哪个选项最符合逻辑。
- A选项“reverse”:其含义为“相反的;逆向的”。若将其代入句子 “The two of them were as reverse as sisters.”,句子表达的意思是“他们俩像姐妹一样相反”,这在逻辑上是不合理的,所以A选项不符合题意。
- B选项“intimate”:意思是“亲密的;密切的”。把它放进句子 “The two of them were as intimate as sisters.” 中,句子意思为“他们俩像姐妹一样亲密”,这与句子想要表达的两人关系状态相契合,在逻辑和语义上都是合理的,所以B选项正确。
- C选项“keen”:有“敏锐的;渴望的;强烈的”等意思。当把 “keen” 代入句子 “The two of them were as keen as sisters.” 时,句子 “他们俩像姐妹一样敏锐” 不符合正常表达习惯,不能准确描述两人之间的关系,所以C选项不合适。
- D选项“civil”:表示“文明的;有礼貌的”。将 “civil” 代入句子 “The two of them were as civil as sisters.” ,“他们俩像姐妹一样文明” 没有很好地体现出两人之间那种如同姐妹般的紧密关系,所以D选项也不正确。
