A. motivate
B. endure
C. tremble
D. operate
题目解答
答案
B. endure
解析
本题考查对词汇含义的理解和运用。解题思路是明确每个选项单词的意思,然后结合句子语境,判断哪个单词能使句子语义通顺合理。
- A选项“motivate”:其含义是“激励;激发;使有动机”。例如:The promise of a bonus motivated the team to work harder.(奖金的承诺激励团队更加努力工作。)在“Very few plants and animals can ____ heat and cold for a long time.”这个句子中,“激励冷热”显然不符合逻辑,所以A选项不正确。
- B选项“endure”:意思是“忍受;忍耐;持续”。比如:She endured a lot of pain after the accident.(事故后她忍受了很多痛苦。)在本题中,“Very few plants and animals can endure heat and cold for a long time.”表达“很少有动植物能够长时间忍受炎热和寒冷”,语义通顺合理,所以B选项正确。
- C选项“tremble”:意为“颤抖;哆嗦;摇动”。例如:He trembled with fear.(他吓得直发抖。)“颤抖冷热”不符合正常表达逻辑,所以C选项不合适。
- D选项“operate”:有“操作;运转;经营”等意思。例如:He can operate this machine easily.(他能轻松操作这台机器。)“操作冷热”在该语境中没有意义,所以D选项也不正确。
