题目内容
6.If you are looking for a fully-furnished room to rent,I think there's a(n) _________ apartment in my building.( )A. | empty | B. | bare | C. | free | D. | vacant |
分析 如果你正在寻找租借一个家具齐全的房间,我想在我住的大楼里有一间空置的公寓.
解答 答案D.
empty"空的,空闲的";bare"(房间、柜子等) 空的";free"免费的,空闲的";vacant"空闲的,未被占用的".这四个词用来修饰事物表示"空"的概念时,其意义有着某些差别.empty表示完全不存在内容物,尤其指没有在通常情况下应有的事物.bare 表示没有覆盖物.free空的,指清除了或缺少了某物,与of 或from连用.vacant通常指某物处于没有被利用的状态.指"未被占用的"尤指土地、房屋、座位、职位等空着,未被占用的,相似于 unoccupied.故答案选D.
点评 本题考查形容词词义辨析.在熟知词义的基础上,再联系句子所表达的含义,从而选出正确的答案.用来修饰事物表示"空"的概念时,其意义有着某些差别:1.empty表示完全不存在内容物,尤其指没有在通常情况下应有的事物.例如:three empty houses(三座空房子),an emptvtruek(空车),some empty bottles(一些空瓶子).又如:He drove through streets empty of traffic.(他驾车穿于行空荡荡的街道.)empty 也可指谈话等空洞没有内容,没有意义.如 empty talk、empty promise;
2.vacant通常指某物处于没有被利用的状态.指"未被占用的"尤指土地、房屋、座位、职位等空着,未被占用的,相似于 unoccupied.如旅馆中有待订出的房间为vacant rooms(空房间),这当然不能理解为房间内空无一物.vacant还被用来指空缺的职位和位置,如:apply for a vacant position(申请空缺职位),a vacant seat(空着的座位).修辞上该词指缺乏理念意志:如 a vacant stare; 茫然凝视; a vacant mind.空虚的大脑;
3.free空的,指清除了或缺少了某物,与of 或from连用.如:She is free from anxiety.(她无忧无虑.)She is free of him.(她摆脱了他.);
4.bare 表示没有覆盖物 trees standing bare in November; 11月树木光秃秃地; a bare head光头; bare detail (just the bare facts ); 细节(只有空洞的事实 );这个单词也用来表示被剥去了内容或装备的状态:The closet is bare.这个壁橱是空的.
