选项 51._________A:unhappy B:well-known C:busy D:worried
答案B
解析be well-known for keeping to himself意思是“以很少与人来往为大家所熟知”，符合句意。 come across , run into , bump into在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，意思是“偶然遇见”，不符合句意。particularly difficult to catch意思是“特别难找到他”，符合句意。 由后面一句话“It came as a complete surprise.”可知，Goetzee觉得这个奖来得很突然。联系上下文，可推测出当Goetzee得知他获得了诺贝尔奖时，他觉得很震惊。D项符合句意。 此处需要一个名词。like作“喜欢”解时是动词；devote是“奉献”的意思，是动词；attract 是“吸引”的意思，是动词。love既可作动词，也可作名词，因此C为正确答案。 该句意思是：尽管人们认为很难找到Goetzee，但是评论家一致认为他的作品很容易理解。despite引导的是一种反向对比，主句中有easy，那么该处应是它的反义词difficult。因此A 为正确答案。 make a breakthrough是固定搭配，意思是“取得突破”。C项符合句意。 to take one's place是固定说法，是“占据一席之地，跻身于”的意思。C项符合句意。 这个句子里没有宾语，因此需要一个不及物动词，在这四个动词中，只有“won”既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词，所以C为正确答案。 除了deal外，handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。因此A为正确答案。 该句意思是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时，他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从……角度”常用from。因此D为正确答案。 cast its shadow on/over是固定说法，是“使不快，（在心理上）投下阴影”的意思。D项符合句意。 think twice是固定说法，是“再三考虑，慎重思考”的意思。B项符合句意。 这两个句子意思是：事实上，Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人，他骑车而不开车，并且他也不喝酒。nuirror作动词时，是“反映” 的意思，符合句意。 从下文“far greater than the things he has given up（比他放弃的东西要多得多）”来看，应选择contributed。该句意思是：但是，他对文学、文化、南非人民所做出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。A项符合句意。 该句意思是：Goetzee的作品表现了人类的非凡才华。express意思是“表达，表现”，符合句意。
