Our dean was one of the earliest ______ of the educational reform, but later he changed his idea and was strongly against it.
A. prophets
B. protests
C. protagonists
D. Protectionists
题目解答
答案
C. protagonists
解析
本题考查名词辨析,需根据语境选择最恰当的词义。关键点在于理解每个选项的含义及用法:
- prophets(预言者)强调预测未来;
- protests(抗议)通常指行为而非人;
- protagonists(拥护者)指积极支持某事物的人;
- Protectionists(保护主义者)特指经济领域。
题目中“early supporter”是解题核心,需选择能体现“支持者”身份的词。
选项分析
-
A. prophets
- 指“预言者”或“先知”,强调对未来事件的预测,与“支持改革”无直接关联。
- 院长后来反对改革,与“预言者”身份矛盾。
-
B. protests
- 为动词转名词,意为“抗议行为”,非指人名词,无法修饰“one of the earliest”。
-
C. protagonists
- 指“拥护者”或“支持者”,符合“early supporter”的语境。
- 后文“changed his idea”形成对比,强调身份转变。
-
D. Protectionists
- 特指经济保护主义者,与“教育改革”无关。
