题目解答
答案
知识点:介词/介词短语
C
试题解析:句意:尽管有很多障碍,大卫很幸运,总是能安全着陆。In terms of 就…而言; In favor of支持; In spite of尽管; In honor of为了纪念。故选C。
解析
本题考查介词短语的辨析,核心在于理解句子中逻辑关系。句子前半部分提到"所有挡在他路上的障碍",后半句却说"大卫很幸运,总能顺利解决",前后构成让步关系。因此需要选择一个表示让步的介词短语。
选项分析
A. In terms of
表示"就...而言",用于说明评价标准,例如"In terms of price, this car is affordable."(就价格而言,这辆车很便宜。)
与句中让步关系无关,排除。
B. In favor of
表示"支持",例如"In favor of environmental protection"(支持环保)。
与句中"克服困难"的语境矛盾,排除。
C. In spite of
表示"尽管",符合句中"存在障碍但依然幸运"的让步关系。
例如"In spite of the rain, the game continued."(尽管下雨,比赛仍在进行。)
D. In honor of
表示"为了纪念",例如"In honor of the hero"(为了纪念英雄)。
与句中"克服困难"的语境无关,排除。
