8. My daughter knew that the letter was not addressed to her, but she opened it ___.
A. in advance
B. for free
C. by no means
D. out of curiosity
题目解答
答案
D. out of curiosity
解析
本题考查短语辨析,需要根据语境选择最合适的短语。关键点在于理解句子的逻辑关系:“虽然知道信不是寄给她的,但还是打开了”,因此需要填入一个表示原因的短语,且要符合“出于某种动机”的语境。
选项分析
A. in advance
- 意为“提前”,与句中“打开信件”的原因无关,排除。
B. for free
- 意为“免费”,与动作的动机无关,排除。
C. by no means
- 意为“绝不”,与前文的“but”矛盾。若选此选项,句意变为“她绝不会打开信”,与后文“打开了”矛盾,排除。
D. out of curiosity
- 意为“出于好奇”,完美解释了“虽然知道信非寄给她,但仍打开”的原因,符合语境。
