All of a sudden, he lost his interest in engineering, and ______ his attention on learning a foreign language.
A focused
B adopted
C regulate
D computerized
题目解答
答案
根据句意,“he lost his interest in engineering”后需填入一词,表示“将注意力集中到学习外语上”。A项“focused”可构成“focus his attention on...”,符合语境。B项“adopted”不符,C项“regulate”不贴切,D项“computerized”完全无关。综合分析,只有A项能准确表达“将注意力集中于某事”。
答案:A. focused
解析
本题考查动词与名词的固定搭配。关键点在于识别“attention”前后的正确动词搭配。句子前后逻辑为“失去兴趣后转移注意力”,需选择能与“attention”构成“将注意力集中在某事上”含义的动词短语。
选项分析
A. focused
“Focus attention on”是固定搭配,意为“集中注意力于某事物”,符合句意中“将注意力转向学习外语”的语境。
B. adopted
“Adopt”意为“采用、采取”,通常搭配抽象概念(如“adopt a plan”),但“adopt attention”不符合搭配习惯,且无法准确表达“集中注意力”的含义。
C. regulate
“Regulate”意为“调节、管理”,与“attention”搭配时,常用“regulate one's attention”,但此处缺少“one's”且语境不符。
D. computerized
“Computerized”意为“计算机化”,与句意无关,明显错误。
综上,A. focused 是唯一符合语法和语境的选项。
