17) It had never once crossed his mind that she would take ______ to what he had done.

A. reception

B. measures

C. exception

D. responsibility

题目解答

答案

首先根据根据句子的语境可推测其意思：他从未想过她会对他的所作所为表示异议。而选项A和D，并没有“take responsibility to”和“take reception to”的搭配，所以排除。而选项B“take measures to”的意思是“采取措施”，后面常接的是指“问题、困境”，所以不符合题意，排除。所以答案为C。

解析

本题考查固定短语的搭配和语境理解。关键点在于识别"take exception to"这一常见表达，意为“对...表示异议”。需注意其他选项与“take”搭配时的用法差异，如“take measures to”（采取措施）和“take responsibility for”（承担责任），避免混淆。

选项分析

选项A: reception

“Take reception”不符合英语习惯用法。常见表达为“have/give a reception”（举办招待会），与题意无关。

选项B: measures

“Take measures to”意为“采取措施”，通常用于解决问题或应对困境，如“take measures to solve the problem”。但题目中强调情感上的反应，而非实际行动，故排除。

选项C: exception

“Take exception to” 是固定短语，表示“对...表示反对或异议”，如“She took exception to his criticism.”。此短语与句中“she would take...to what he had done”完全匹配。

选项D: responsibility

“Take responsibility”需搭配“for”（如“take responsibility for one's actions”），而“take responsibility to”搭配错误，故排除。
