Question

Fitness is important in sport, but of at least ________ importance are skills.

1. A.
   fair
2. B.
   reasonable
3. C.
   equal
4. D.
   proper

Answer 1

C
句意：虽然体能在运动中很重要，但是技能至少与之同样重要。考生首先要弄清but后的句子是倒装句，正常语序应为：skills are of at least ________ importance.然后，再搞清四个选项的意思，根据句意，做出正确选择。equal--(of two or more) the same in size, number, value, rank, etc.（在大小、数量、价值、等级等方面）相同的，同等的，同样的。如：Women demand equal pay for equal work.妇女们要求同工同酬。fair意为：公平的、公正的、正直的。如：It is not fair. Why should you always have first choice?这不公平。为什么总是你先挑选？reasonable意为：（人或其行为）合情合理的，如：a reasonable man讲道理的人；a reasonable request合理的要求。proper意为：合适的、适当的、恰当的。如：That's not a proper way to stop the car.用这种方式停汽车不妥。综上所述，C为正确答案。
