Megan and John realized that their house was too messy for a new baby, so they decided to _____ their house before the baby was born.
A made it
B strip off
C throw away
D straighten up
题目解答
答案
本题考察短语辨析。A项“made it”表“做成”,与句意不符;B项“strip off”表“脱下”,不适用;C项“throw away”仅表“扔掉”,无法体现“整理”;D项“straighten up”意为“整理、收拾”,最贴合句意。Megan和John需“整理”房子以迎接新宝宝,故选D。
答案:D. straighten up
解析
本题考查动词短语的辨析,需要根据语境选择最合适的选项。关键点在于理解每个短语的含义及其适用场景。核心思路是结合“迎接新宝宝”这一情境,判断哪种短语能准确表达“整理房屋”的动作。
选项分析
A. made it
- 含义:表示“做成某事”或“成功达到目标”,如“make it to the party(准时参加派对)”。
- 问题:与句中“整理房屋”无关,无法体现“收拾”的动作。
B. strip off
- 含义:意为“脱下”或“剥离”,如“strip off the old paint(刮掉旧漆)”。
- 问题:动作过于具体且带有破坏性,不符合“整理房屋”的语境。
C. throw away
- 含义:表示“扔掉”或“丢弃”,如“throw away trash(扔垃圾)”。
- 问题:仅强调“丢弃”,无法体现全面的“整理”过程。
D. straighten up
- 含义:意为“整理、收拾”,如“straighten up the living room(收拾客厅)”。
- 匹配度:最符合句意,因为迎接新宝宝需要全面“整理”房屋,而非单纯丢弃或脱下物品。
