单选题
It is easy to perceive the ______ between their material prosperity and the emptiness of their lives.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】本句大意为:他们物质富足,但生活空虚,这一差别是容易察觉的。comparison表示“比较,类似”,强调两者的相同点;contrary表示“反面,相反”,如:Cruelty and kindness are contraries.残酷与仁慈是对立面。contrast表示“对比,对照,悬殊差别(+between)”,强调不同之处;contradiction表示“矛盾,否认”;根据题意,强调两者的反差,因此选C。
