It has been revealed that some government leaders __________ their authority and position to get illegal profits for themselves.( )
A. employ
B. take
C. abuse
D. overlook
题目解答
答案
C. abuse
解析
本题考查动词的固定搭配,核心在于理解"abuse"与"authority"的常见组合。关键点在于区分选项中各动词的常见用法:
- abuse表示“滥用”,常与power/authority搭配,指“不正当使用职权”;
- 其他选项(employ, take, overlook)与题干语境或搭配不符。
选项分析
-
A. employ
“employ”意为“使用”,但通常搭配技能、方法(如“employ a strategy”),与“authority”搭配不常见。 -
B. take
“take”意为“占据、带走”,无法表达“利用职权谋利”的核心含义。 -
C. abuse
“abuse”表示“滥用”,与“authority/position”构成固定搭配“abuse one's authority”,准确表达“不正当使用职权”的语境。 -
D. overlook
“overlook”意为“忽视”,与题干动作方向相反。
