题目解答
答案
解析
题目要求从给定的选项中选择一个合适的词填入空白处。我们需要理解句子的含义,并选择最合适的词。
句子:“Two recent studies found evidence suggesting that urban green spaces, such as parks and gardens, may also improve cognitive development and 5.____ the effects of health inequality.”
这句话的意思是:“最近的两项研究发现证据表明,城市绿地,如公园和花园,也可能改善认知发展并____健康不平等的影响。”
我们需要选择一个词,使得句子通顺且意义明确。选项中,最合适的词是“buffer”(缓冲),因为“buffer”可以表示减轻或缓解某种影响,符合句子的语境。
答案
- buffer
完整句子
“最近的两项研究发现证据表明,城市绿地,如公园和花园,也可能改善认知发展并缓冲健康不平等的影响。”
这样,句子的意思就非常清楚了:城市绿地不仅有助于认知发展,还能减轻健康不平等带来的负面影响。
解析
本题考查对词汇含义的理解以及在特定语境中的运用。解题的关键在于理解句子的整体意思,即城市绿地对认知发展和健康不平等影响的作用,然后从给定的选项中挑选出最符合语境的词汇。
- 首先分析句子 “Two recent studies found evidence suggesting that urban green spaces, such as parks and gardens, may also improve cognitive development and 5.____ the effects of health inequality.”,其表达的是城市绿地除了能改善认知发展外,还对健康不平等的影响有某种作用。
- 接着看各个选项:
- A:at regular intervals 表示“每隔一段时间”,与句子语境不符。
- B:factor in 意为“把……考虑在内”,不符合此处表达的对健康不平等影响的作用。
- C:buffer 有“缓冲”的意思,“buffer the effects”即“缓冲影响”,符合城市绿地减轻健康不平等负面影响的语境。
- D:Exposure to 是“暴露于”,与句子逻辑不匹配。
- E:enrich 是“丰富”,不能用于描述对健康不平等影响的作用。
- F:in the hope that 是“希望”,不符合句子结构和语义。
- G:factor out 是“排除”,与句子想要表达的意思不一致。
- H:variable 是“变量”,与句子语境无关。
- I:accounted for 是“解释;占……比例”,不符合此处语义。
- J:gap 是“差距”,不能用于描述对影响的作用。
- K:as a whole 是“总体上”,与句子内容不相关。
- L:attentiveness 是“注意力”,与句子语境不符。
- M:co - author 是“合著者”,与句子无关。
- N:input 是“输入”,不符合句子逻辑。
- O:array 是“一系列”,与句子语境不相符。
