题目内容
13．We can achieve a lot when we learn to let our differences unite，rather than _______ us．（ ）| A． | divide | B． | reject | C． | control | D． | abandon |
分析 当我们学会将我们的分歧联合起来而不是将我们分裂的时候，我们就会有许多收获．
解答 答案：A
A．将…分开；B．拒绝，拒收；C．控制；D．放弃，抛弃；句中rather than 意为：而不是；根据句意，此处表达的意思应该是与"unite联合，联手，团结"的意义相反；故选A．
点评 做本题时，首先从句意着手，看懂句意是解答此类题目的关键；其次对四个选项的意思也要了如指掌．这就要求在平时的学习中要勤积累，多记忆，多查字典；另外，本题中的rather than，提示了前后两部分表达的意思想反，因此可以从找unite的反意词入手；所以，有时在掌握了词意的基础上，还需要总结一些解题技巧．
