As millennials _ the workforce the communication tools they grew up with are expected to take the place of email.
A. exclaim
B. permeate
C. compete
D. supervise
题目解答
答案
B. permeate
解析
本题考查动词的语境意义辨析,需根据上下文逻辑选择最恰当的动词。关键点在于理解millennials(千禧一代)进入职场后对沟通工具的影响。需注意选项中动词的常见搭配及语义是否与句意匹配。
选项分析
A. exclaim
意为“呼喊、声明”,通常用于表达情感或突然的言论(如“exclaim with joy”),与“进入职场”语境无关,且句中缺少宾语(如“exclaim their views”),搭配不当。
B. permeate
意为“渗透、遍及”,常用于抽象概念(如“permeate society”表示“影响整个社会”)。句中“millennials permeate the workforce”可理解为“千禧一代逐渐融入并影响整个职场”,与后文“他们的沟通工具取代邮件”形成逻辑连贯。
C. compete
意为“竞争”,需搭配“with”(如“compete with others”)。句中直接跟“the workforce”不符合语法,且“竞争职场”与后文“工具普及”关联性弱。
D. supervise
意为“监督、管理”,通常指主动管理行为(如“supervise a project”)。句中“millennials监督职场”与语境不符。
