【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查同义词辨析。从句意以及下文判断,此处应为“谈论、讨论”之意,C项正确。其他三项中,remark有一定干扰作用,这个词一般用于比较正式的场合,作及物动词时意为“说,评说”,后面一般要带宾语从句或引语,不直接跟名词,例如:He remarked that he would never accept her apology.
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查对文章的理解和同义词辨析的能力。空格中要填的是一个与hates一样表示否定意义的词;四个选项都表示否定意义,但是只有refuse(拒绝)可以和vegetable搭配,等于refuse to eat vegetables,因此选项C是正确答案。
单选题
A. willing B. possible C. obliged D. likely
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查句法辨析。根据句意分析,此处应为“可能”。选项B和D的差别在于possible的结构为“it is possible for sb.to do sth.”,而 likely则可用“sb is likely to do sth.”或“it is likely for sb to do sth.”。故D正确。
