单选题 In his ______ to further his knowledge of the universe, man has now begun to explore space.
  • [A] attempt
  • [B] expedition
  • [C] trial
  • [D] chase


【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】动词语义题。attempt表示“努力,尝试”;expedition意思是“远征,探险”,在这里跟后面的“知识”搭配不当,予以排除;trial意思是“试验,考验”,一般跟介词on搭配;chase表示“追求,追赶”,也不跟表示“知识”的名词搭配。in one's attempt to是习惯用法,表示“在力图、试图…的过程中”,合乎题意。
