选项
A、notorious
B、indecent
C、obscure
D、desperate
答案
B
解析
此题属于语义搭配题。indecent 意为“不成体统的,不体面的”,根据上下文,上句说死亡是忌讳的话题,因此,谈论死亡会被看作是不成体统的,故选项[B] indecent 正确。选项 [A] notorious 意为“臭名昭著的,声名狼藉的”,例如:The company is notorious for pay- ing its bill late.选项[C] obscure 意为“晦涩的;偏僻的,模糊的”,例如:an obscure style- of writing/an obscure island.又如:official policy.has changed,for reasons that remain obscure.选项[D] desperate 意为“绝望的,拼命的,极度的”,例如:make a desperate at- tempt(孤注一掷)。
