Even he, however, might ()at the thought of what he is about to do.
A. tempt
B. tremble
C. maintain
D. human being
题目解答
答案
B. tremble
解析
本题考查动词的词义辨析及语境匹配能力。关键在于理解句子中情感色彩和语法结构的匹配。需注意选项中动词的固定搭配和词性是否合适。
选项分析
A. tempt
tempt意为“诱惑”,但其常见用法为be tempted to do sth(被诱惑做某事),而句中主语是“he”,无法直接用主动语态,且语境中未体现“诱惑”之意,排除。
B. tremble
tremble意为“颤抖”,常用于表达因害怕或紧张而发抖。句中“at the thought of what he is about to do”(想到即将做的事)暗示情绪紧张,tremble最符合语境。
C. maintain
maintain意为“维持、保持”,但该动词需接宾语(如maintain balance),而句中无宾语,语法不匹配,排除。
D. human being
human being是名词,不能作动词使用,与空格需填动词的要求矛盾,排除。
