His brother always ___ him when his mother is not at home.
A. looks through
B. looks up
C. looks at
D. looks after
题目解答
答案
D. looks after
解析
本题考查动词短语的辨义与语境应用。关键点在于理解句子中主语与宾语的关系，以及动词短语的具体含义。题目描述的是“当母亲不在家时，哥哥对弟弟的照顾行为”，需选择能表达“照看、照顾”含义的短语。
选项分析
- A. looks through：意为“浏览、仔细查看”，如“翻阅文件”或“透过物体看”，与“照顾”无关。
- B. looks up：意为“查阅、抬头看”，如“查单词”或“抬头”，无法体现“照看”。
- C. looks at：意为“看”，仅表示视觉关注，缺乏主动照顾的含义。
- D. looks after：意为“照顾、照看”，如“照看孩子”，符合语境中哥哥对弟弟的主动照料。
语境匹配
句子中“when his mother is not at home”暗示需要有人承担监护责任，“looks after”最能体现这种主动的照顾行为。
