Many people _ careers and raising kids so that they forget that their marriages also need to be taken good care of.
A. sum up
B. ring out
C. make sense of
D. get caught up in
题目解答
答案
D. get caught up in
解析
本题考查动词短语的用法,核心在于根据语境选择最合适的短语。句子表达的是“人们因为忙于事业和养育孩子,以至于忽略了婚姻也需要被照顾”。解题关键是理解短语“get caught up in”的常见用法,表示“忙于、陷入某事”,符合句中“忙于事业和孩子”的语境。
选项分析
A. sum up
sum up 意为“总结、概括”,通常用于对某事物进行归纳,例如:
- He summed up the key points of the meeting.
句中需要表达“忙于”,与“总结”无关,排除。
B. ring out
ring out 意为“宣布结束、停止”,例如:
- The bell rang out the end of the class.
与“忙于”无关,排除。
C. make sense of
make sense of 意为“理解、明白”,例如:
- I tried to make sense of the confusing instructions.
句中未体现“理解”的含义,排除。
D. get caught up in
get caught up in 意为“忙于、陷入某事”,符合句中“忙于事业和孩子”的语境,例如:
- She gets caught up in work and often misses family dinners.
此选项最符合题意。
