题目解答
答案
subordinate;Absorbed
解析
考查要点:本题主要考查动词与形容词的语境选择,需要根据上下文逻辑和句子结构选择恰当的词形。
解题思路:
- 第一空:根据句意“我们的事业必须成为唯一的人生目标,其他一切都要……”,需填入一个表示“服从、屈从”的动词,使整个句式结构完整。
- 第二空:根据前文“历史人物不会一直照镜子确认自己的尺寸”,后文需填入一个形容词,表达“专注于工作”的状态。
第一空
分析句式结构
原句为:
“We must make our business the one life purpose to which every other must be ______.”
此处“to which every other must be ______”是定语从句,修饰先行词“the one life purpose”。空格处需填入一个动词,使整个结构成为目的状语(即“我们的事业必须成为唯一目标,其他一切都要为此服务”)。
确定词义与词性
根据句意,“其他一切”需“服从”或“屈从”于“事业目标”,因此选择动词 subordinate(意为“使服从”)。
第二空
上下文逻辑
前文提到“历史人物不会一直关注自己”,后文需表达“他们在工作中投入全部精力”。空格处需填入一个形容词,强调“专注”的状态。
词形选择
Absorbed(被完全吸引的)符合语境,且与主语“men of history”构成被动语态(be absorbed in),表示“专注于工作”。
