题目解答
答案
C. indifferent
解析
本题考查词汇辨析,解题思路是理解每个选项单词的含义,再结合句子语境来判断正确答案。
- A选项“different”:意为“不同的”,常见搭配是“be different from”,表示“与……不同”。在本题中,“be different to the cold”这种表达不符合逻辑,不能说“对寒冷是不同的”,所以A选项不正确。
- B选项“difficult”:意为“困难的”,通常用于描述事情、任务等具有难度,“be difficult to the cold”这种表达不符合英语的语义和搭配习惯,不能说“对寒冷是困难的”,所以B选项不正确。
- C选项“indifferent”:意为“漠不关心的;不在乎的”,“be indifferent to”是固定短语,表示“对……漠不关心;对……不在乎”。在句子中,“he was so excited to see snow that he was indifferent to the cold”意思是“他第一次来到哈尔滨,看到雪非常兴奋,以至于他对寒冷毫不在意”,符合句子的逻辑和语境,所以C选项正确。
- D选项“absent”:意为“缺席的;不在场的”,常见搭配是“be absent from”,表示“缺席……”。“be absent to the cold”这种表达不符合英语的语义和搭配习惯,不能说“对寒冷缺席”,所以D选项不正确。
