After so many years, he still ____ the hope that his lost son would return one day.
A. clang to
B. clung to
C. inclined to
D. subjected to
题目解答
答案
B. clung to
解析
本题考查动词短语的辨析与语境应用。关键点在于:
- 短语含义:需区分四个选项中动词短语的具体用法,尤其注意cling to表示“紧紧抓住、不放弃”。
- 时态匹配:句子中“still”暗示动作发生在过去,需使用过去式,而clung to是cling的正确过去式。
- 语境逻辑:句中“hope”需与表达“坚持、保留”的短语搭配,排除与“倾向”“遭受”无关的选项。
选项分析
A. clang to
- clang意为“发出金属碰撞声”,与“希望”无关,且短语搭配错误。
B. clung to
- cling to意为“紧紧抓住不放”,符合“保留希望”的语境;clung是cling的正确过去式。
C. inclined to
- incline to表示“倾向于”,与“保留希望”不符。
D. subjected to
- subject to意为“使遭受”,与句意完全矛盾。
语法验证
- 句子主干为“he still ____ the hope”,需用过去式,只有clung to符合时态要求。
