分析 一这起大火有一些线索吗?
一警方确认房子起火是设计引起的而不是偶然.
解答 答案:accident/chance
联系语境,根据The police confirm that the house caught fire by design 警方确认房子起火是设计引起的,可知此句应是指房子起火的原因;联系关键短语rather than"而不是",指推翻了后一种可能;结合关键词by可知此处应用固定短语by accident/chance 指偶然,这里指而不是偶然.符合句意及用法.故填:accident/chance
点评 此题考查固定短语的用法.做题时联系语境准确推测出句意是做题的关键,再联系固定短语作答即可.
