题目
This talented young man built his own company from _____ and became a millionaire before his 30th birthday. (scratched)
This talented young man built his own company from _____ and became a millionaire before his 30th birthday. (scratched)
题目解答
答案
这道题考察的是固定短语的使用。句子的意思是：“这个有才华的年轻人白手起家建立了自己的公司，并在30岁生日前成为了百万富翁。”
我们需要填入一个与“scratched”相关的词，使句子通顺。在英语中，有一个常用的短语“from scratch”，意思是“从零开始”或“白手起家”。这个短语非常适合用来描述一个人从无到有地建立自己的事业。
因此，句子中应该填入“scratch”。
最终答案是：
This talented young man built his own company from **scratch** and became a millionaire before his 30th birthday.
解析
本题考查固定短语的使用。句子大意是“这个有才华的年轻人_____建立了自己的公司，并在30岁生日前成为了百万富翁”，需要填入与“scratched”相关的词使句子通顺。英语中常用短语“from scratch”表示“从零开始”或“白手起家”，恰好能描述从无到有建立事业的情境，因此填入“scratch”符合句意。
