题目解答
答案
B. prevention
解析
本题考查根据语境判断单词含义的能力。关键在于理解句子中“without restraint”的语境含义。句子描述的是“开放边境和宽松签证政策”导致犯罪分子可以不受限制地进入国家。因此,“restraint”在此处应表示“限制”或“控制”,需结合选项中与“限制”相关的词进行匹配。
- 理解句意:句子强调“开放边境和宽松签证政策”使犯罪分子可以“不受限制”地进入国家。
- 分析“restraint”的语境含义:
- “without restraint”表示“没有限制”,因此“restraint”应指“限制”或“阻碍”。
- 选项匹配:
- A. reception(接待):与“限制”无关,排除。
- B. prevention(阻止、限制):符合“限制”含义。
- C. objective(目标):与句意无关,排除。
- D. success(成功):与句意无关,排除。
