问题 The killer arrested by the police has already claimed four lives, and even the detectives are______.

选项 A、baffled
B、inquired
C、frustrated
D、considered

答案A

解析    (1)句子结构。
   题干是由and引导的两个并列句,第一个分句的结构为主动宾(SVO),其中主语为the killer,arrested by the police是killer的定语,谓语为has claimed,宾语为four lives;第二个分句的结构为主动补(SVC),主语为the detectives,系动词are之后为主语补语(表语)。
   (2)选项词义。
   A.baffle vt.使受挫折;使困惑,使迷惑
   B.inquire vt.询问;查究;打听
   C.frustrate vt.挫败;阻挠;使受挫折
   D.consider vt.考虑;认为
   本句大意为“警察拘捕的那个杀手已经夺去了四条人命,连侦探们对此都感到大惑不解”。从上下文来看,那个杀手为什么会疯狂地杀人,这令人不解。因此,在四个选项中,只有选项A最符合题意。
   【知识拓展】词汇拓展:baffle与confuse。

   e.g.An apple tree producing square fruit is baffling expeas.
   一棵苹果树结方形果实,这令专家们感到困惑。
   ②confuse v. to make someone feel that they cannot think clearly or do not understand;bewilder
   e.g.I understand the text,but the diagrams are confusing me.
