News reports say that, after a three-day air strike, the hospitals in the area are completely _______.
A. in injury
B. in destruction
C. in damage
D. in ruins
题目解答
答案
D. in ruins
解析
本题考查固定短语的搭配和语境理解。关键点在于理解四个选项中介词短语的用法及适用场景:
- in injury 通常指“受伤的状态”,多用于描述人;
- in destruction 和 in damage 的搭配不符合常见表达;
- in ruins 是固定短语,表示“成为废墟”,常用于描述建筑物被严重破坏后的状态。
选项分析
A. in injury
“injury”指“伤害”,通常用于描述人的身体损伤(如 The athlete was in injury after the accident.),与医院的物理状态无关,排除。
B. in destruction
“destruction”意为“破坏”,但英语中常用“in ruins”或“destroyed”描述建筑物被毁,“in destruction”搭配不常见,排除。
C. in damage
“damage”意为“损坏”,但表达建筑受损时常用“damaged”或“suffer damage”,“in damage”搭配不符合语境,排除。
D. in ruins
“in ruins”是固定短语,表示“成为废墟”,符合医院被严重破坏的语境,正确。
