题目内容
3.I don't know for sure how many people would like to settle here-it is a(n) ______of personal preference.( )A. | affair | B. | event | C. | matter | D. | taste |
分析 我不确信你们中有多少人要定居在这里.这是一个个人爱好问题.
解答 答案C.
affair的意思是"有关的事,事务,活动等",如foreign affairs(外事),也常指婚外恋;event指"每日里发生的事件,事或活动,比赛项目",尤指较重大的、有影响的政治事件等.matter指"小事情;小问题,小困难;小毛病;小麻烦",是普通用词,通常指"要注意的事情",或者着重指一件考虑中的或需要处理的事.taste"品味,味道".it is a matter of可以看做是名词的固定搭配,意思是"这是…的问题".联系句子所要表达的意思可知答案选C.
点评 本题考查名词的词义辨析.名词的词义辨析要放在上下文的语境中进行,要注意上下文的语义的串联以及逻辑关系的推理,特别要注意一些名词的固定搭配以及名词的深层次的含义的区别.四个表事件词的区别 (affair,matter,event,incident):event:意为"事件;大事",用在 in that event,in any event 结构中的时候,与case可替换,但不能用于in one's event.incident:意为"事件,事变",用于表示突发事件或偶发事件.affair:意为"事务,事件,私事,恋爱事件".如:a love affair,affairs of state matter:事情;问题,困难;毛病;麻烦. 如:This is a matter of no account.这是一件无关紧要的事.
