The teacher placed special ______ on the importance of critical thinking skills during the lecture.
A. emphasis
B. focus
C. pressure
D. attention
题目解答
答案
A. emphasis
解析
本题考查固定搭配的掌握,核心是识别“place special _ on”结构中正确的名词。关键点在于:
- “emphasis” 是唯一能与“place...on”搭配的选项,构成短语 “place emphasis on”,意为“强调”。
- 其他选项需结合其他动词(如“focus on”“pay attention to”)或不符合语境(如“pressure”)。
选项分析
A. emphasis
- 正确搭配:短语 “place emphasis on” 表示“重视、强调”,符合句意。
- 例句:The company places special emphasis on employee training.
B. focus
- 常见搭配:通常用 “focus on”,如:The teacher focused on critical thinking.
- “place focus on” 不符合常规用法。
C. pressure
- 语义不符:句意强调“重视”,而“pressure”表示“压力”,与题干矛盾。
D. attention
- 搭配错误:需用 “pay attention to”,如:Please pay attention to the details.
- “place attention on” 不是固定表达。
