答案
C. major in
解析
本题考查对不同短语含义的理解和运用。解题的关键在于明确每个选项短语的意思,并结合句子的语境来判断哪个选项最合适。
- A选项“turn out”:常见含义有“结果是;证明是;生产;制造”等。例如:The party turned out to be a great success.(这次聚会结果非常成功。)在本题中,“He decided to turn out psychology”表达的意思不符合逻辑,不能说“决定结果是心理学”,所以A选项不正确。
- B选项“resort to”:意为“诉诸;求助于;采取(某种手段等)”。例如:If negotiation fails, we may have to resort to force.(如果谈判失败,我们可能不得不诉诸武力。)“He decided to resort to psychology”表示“决定求助于心理学”,但结合句子中“discovering his passion for the human mind and behavior”(发现自己对人类思维和行为的热爱),这里用“求助于”不符合语境,所以B选项不合适。
- C选项“major in”:是固定短语,意思是“主修;专攻”。在句子“He decided to major in psychology after discovering his passion for the human mind and behavior.”中,表达“在发现自己对人类思维和行为的热爱后,他决定主修心理学”,符合句子的逻辑和语境,所以C选项正确。
- D选项“give”:“give”作为动词,常见含义有“给;给予”等,单独使用“give”在这个句子中无法构成合理的表达,“He decided to give psychology”语义不通,所以D选项不正确。
