1. An unexpected strength of the book is the chance it affords Jeffrey Mason, one of the original detectives who doubted Marie, to ___ his mistakes.
A. date back
B. date to
C. look back on
D. look onto
题目解答
答案
C. look back on
解析
本题考查动词短语的语境意义辨析。关键点在于理解句子中"to"引导的不定式结构所表达的动作意图。Jeffrey Mason作为最初怀疑Marie的侦探，需要一个表达"反思、回顾"错误的短语。需注意选项中短语的固定搭配和语义匹配。
选项分析
- A. date back：意为“追溯到”，通常需接时间点（如“date back to the 1990s”），但此处缺少介词“to”，且语义不符。
- B. date to：表示“日期标注为”，需接具体时间，与“mistakes”搭配不当。
- C. look back on：意为“回顾、反思”，常用于表达对过去行为的审视，符合语境。
- D. look onto：意为“朝……看”或“监督”，与“mistakes”搭配不合逻辑。
关键结论
look back on 是唯一能表达“反思错误”且语法正确的选项。
