题目解答

答案

问题解析

题目背景：
文章讨论了现代科技（如手机和社交媒体）对传统礼仪的影响。新一代的礼仪专家正在努力使旧的礼仪规范适应新一代的需求，特别是在网络礼仪（netiquette）方面。文章提到了一些具体的礼仪问题，如在社交平台上如何回应他人的评论，以及在与他人共乘时戴耳机是否礼貌。

题目分析：
题目要求找出与“quandaries”意思最接近的词。首先，我们需要理解“quandaries”在文中的具体含义。根据上下文，文章提到年轻人在社交平台上面临许多礼仪问题，这些问题是“seem to be endless”（似乎无穷无尽的）。因此，“quandaries”在这里指的是年轻人在社交礼仪方面面临的困惑或难题。

选项分析：

  • A. movement（运动）：不符合文意，文中没有提到任何关于运动的内容。
  • B. dilemma（困境）：符合文意，指年轻人在社交礼仪方面面临的困境或难题。
  • C. evolution（进化）：不符合文意，文中没有提到礼仪的进化。
  • D. confusion（困惑）：部分符合文意，但“dilemma”更准确地表达了困境或难题的意思。

答案选择：
根据上下文，最符合“quandaries”意思的词是“dilemma”（困境）。

答案

B. dilemma

解析

本题考查对词汇含义的理解，解题思路是结合文章上下文来推断“quandaries”的意思，再将各选项含义与推断结果进行对比。

  1. 首先明确文章背景，文章围绕现代科技对传统礼仪的影响展开，新一代礼仪专家致力于让旧礼仪适应新一代，尤其在网络礼仪方面，还列举了如社交平台回应他人评论、与他人共乘时戴耳机是否礼貌等具体礼仪问题。
  2. 接着看“quandaries”所在句子“The social quandaries seem to be endless.”，结合前文提到的各种礼仪问题，可知这里说的是社交方面的难题似乎无穷无尽。
  3. 然后分析各选项：
    • A选项“movement”意为“运动”，文章中并未提及与运动相关内容，所以A选项不符合文意。
    • B选项“dilemma”意为“困境”，与我们根据上下文推断出的社交方面的难题意思相符，所以B选项正确。
    • C选项“evolution”意为“进化”，文章没有涉及礼仪进化的内容，所以C选项不符合文意。
    • D选项“confusion”意为“困惑”，虽然有一定合理性，但“dilemma”更能准确表达出困境、难题的意思，所以D选项不如B选项合适。
