题目解答
答案
A. It increases the sense of determination.
解析
本题考查对“try”一词在语境中作用的理解。解题的关键在于分析去掉“try”这个词后会带来怎样的影响,并判断各个选项是否符合“好处”这一要求。
- 对于选项A:当我们把“try”从词汇中去掉,比如将 “I’ll try to do it” 变为 “I’ll do it”,这种表达更加直接和坚定,避免了给自己留下“只是尝试,不成功也没关系”的借口,从而增强了我们的决心和承诺,所以选项A符合去掉“try”带来的好处。
- 对于选项B:“It allows for more procrastination”(它允许更多的拖延),去掉“try”后,我们的态度更加坚决,不会因为“只是尝试”而拖延行动,所以该选项不符合。
- 对于选项C:“It reduces the likelihood of taking action”(它降低了采取行动的可能性),实际上去掉“try”会让我们更有决心去行动,而不是降低行动的可能性,所以该选项错误。
- 对于选项D:“It encourages a more passive approach to tasks”(它鼓励对任务采取更消极的态度),去掉“try”后我们的态度是积极主动的,并非消极,所以该选项也不正确。
