In Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is a particularly______character, refusing to give his assistant a raise, despite his enormous wealth.
选项
A、mean
B、amiable
C、generous
D、notorious
答案
A
解析
(1)句子结构。
句子的主要结构为主动补(SVC),主语为Scrooge,is为系动词,a particularly______character为主语补语,refusing to give his assistant a raise解释说明character,despite his enormous wealth作让步状语。
(2)选项词义。
A.mean adj.平均的;卑鄙的;吝啬的
B.amiable adj.和蔼可亲的;亲切的
C.generous adj.慷慨的;大方的;宽宏大量的
D.notorious adj.声名狼藉的;臭名昭著的
本句大意为“在查尔斯-狄更斯的《圣诞颂歌》中,斯克鲁奇是一个特别吝啬的人,尽管他拥有巨额财富,却拒绝给他的助手加薪”。从上下文可以推出,refusing to give his assisrant a raise,despite his enormous wealth表现了一个守财奴的形象,因此mean的词义最符合题意,故选A项。
