题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对词汇在具体语境中含义的理解。解题思路是先明确句子的大致意思,再分析每个选项的含义,最后结合上下文来判断“gone”最恰当的意思。
- 理解句子 “All the old houses I remembered were gone.” 的意思,即“我记得的所有老房子都……”。
- 分析选项:
- A选项 “disappeared” 意为“消失”,表示老房子不再存在,符合句子表达的老房子不见了的意思。
- B选项 “left” 通常用于描述人或动物离开某个地方,不能用于形容房子,所以该选项不符合。
- C选项 “built” 是“建造”的意思,与“gone”表达的老房子不见的意思相反,不符合语境。
- D选项 “sold” 表示“被卖掉”,但房子被卖掉并不意味着就不见了,可能还在原地,只是换了主人,所以该选项不准确。
- 结合上下文 “What a disappointment! It was all changed. All the old houses I remembered were gone.” 可知,这里强调一切都变了,老房子都不存在了,进一步说明“gone”在这里是“消失”的意思。
